Distraction is life or death. And just the sight of former marine Shane Hovland is enough to shake Matt’s concentration.
Shane came to BUD/S training ready to prove himself—again. Semper Fi is forever, but he needs a new start. Not this dangerous heat with a man he barely knows.
Everything they’ve ever wanted is riding on a thin, punishing line. And they’ll have to fight for more than just each other if they want to make it through intact.
After all, the only easy day was yesterday.
Review
I was so excited when I saw Melanie Hansen was coming out with a
new book. Having read and completely loved her book Point of Contact, I
couldn’t wait for more. This is a book with the military as the backdrop
as well, but a different feel all around and I loved it!
Shane
and Matt meet at BUD/S training, both hoping to come through the other
side as Navy Seals. They expect to be pushed passes their physical and
mental limits, they expect pain and Hell Week. What they don’t expect
is attraction and maybe even something more. They’re competitive,
friendly adversaries and they’ve got each other’s back. I love seeing
the comradeship of these guys working together to get through what will
ultimately be one of the hardest things in their lives. Melanie Hansen
has this way of writing the seal training scenes that makes you smell
saltwater and feel the cold, she just makes it all so real.
I
am honestly looking so forward to seeing where this author goes next, I
am so glad I picked up Point of Contact and found her writing. With
Loving A Warrior, she has sealed the deal, I am a true fan. Hope
everyone will pick this book up, it’s range of emotions run the gauntlet
and leave you with a smile.
I loved this so much! She really is so good.

Melanie Hansen doesn’t get nearly enough sleep. She loves all things
coffee-related, including collecting mugs from every place she’s visited. After spending eighteen years as a military spouse, Melanie definitely
considers herself a moving expert. She has lived and worked all over the country, and hopes to bring these rich and varied life experiences to the
love stories she gets up in the wee hours to write. On her off-time, you can find Melanie watching baseball, reading or spending time with her
husband and two teenage sons.
