GRR Reviews Mr. SEAL - A Hot Navy SEAL Romance by Ivy Jordan

Mr. SEAL is a "SEAL woos civilian" romance that managed to leverage insta-lust and avoid any "SEAL abuse" that had SEAL in illegal situations or against common sense. The romance was sweet.

Penelope can't handle too much happiness, but she had to hunker down to attend her cousin's wedding... Until Ethan caught her eye... Ethan is hunky, handsome, and has tattoos that not even a tux can hide them. Penelope is smitten, and so was Ethan. Ethan is a Navy SEAL retiring from active roles and transitioning into a trainer, but that means he will be in California... He's taking a month leave and finding Penelope was good luck. The two quickly wooed each other, and sex was scorching, but both held back, as both knew he's not long-term. But a heart wants what it wants... Who will be heartbroken at the end?

Basically, both characters are in denial about their true feelings with each other, but the real question is, what are they going to do about it? Fortunately, there is no SEAL abuse as the guy's on leave and possibly staying around.
