There are hints of his mature romance story coming in the future.Īs usual another great read from Mrs. I also loved getting to know Baker Rawlins a little better, too. Plus, there was a very exciting climax to the mystery. There was certainly sexual tension, but the emotional component wasn't there for a love scene until then, and then it was a lot of fun.
Although I love a good sex scene, I appreciated that the sex didn't happen until quite late in the story. He was so gentle, solid and supportive of her-showing her time and again that there are good guys out there. But Monica had so much that needed to be overcome to learn to trust, even more than to fall in love, that it made sense that Stuart be a less angsty/conflicted character. Still not much internal conflict for him beyond the need to prove to the heroine that not all military men are monsters like her father (Monica certainly had a horrific backstory!). To me, Pid (thank goodness the heroine called him Stuart! "Pid" is a funny, but unfortunate nickname for Stu.) was the least fleshed out of all the men on the Hawaii SEAL team in previous books, so I enjoyed getting to know him better. One of my favorite Stoker books! The fact that I read it all in less than 24 hours around sleep and work tells you how engaging it was. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliffhanger endings. ** Finding Monica is the 4th book in the SEAL Team Hawaii Series. When he decides to use Monica as a pawn for his revenge, she’ll have to overcome years of deep-seated fear…and put her trust in Stuart’s hands if she hopes to see another day. No one is prepared to learn the man has ties to the Navy. Turns out the ambassador’s home was specifically targeted, and Monica’s the only person who’s faced the intruder and lived. He can’t blame her for hating all things military-or for being outraged when his commander demands the SEAL team escort her back to Hawaii. Stuart “Pid” Hall is used to people being scared, panicked, and confused during a rescue mission, but Monica’s deep animosity and distrust is a surprise…until she shares a bit of her story. Basically her worst nightmare come to life.
But when her employer’s ambassadorial home becomes fair game for intruders during a riot, she’s forced to rely on two SEALs to get her to safety. Since escaping her home, she’s built a successful career as a nanny, showing other kids the love she was denied as a child. Years of abuse at the hands of her father has taught Monica Collins she can’t trust anyone-especially military men.
