To Tempt a Seal by Sara Jane Stone is a beautiful story of how circumstances can shape a person's life. Lucia and Cade have been hurt in different ways and are searching for the person to help them heal. They recognize in each other a kindred spirit. Lucia captured my heart with her childlike vulnerability due to events that left her mentally and physically scarred. Scarred, scared and insecure. Despite it all her inner beauty shone through regardless outer flaws. Cade's pain was more hidden but no less acute. As they work through their issues together they start to find acceptance and stability in each other.

To Tempt a SEAL is a love story that has been told many times! But in true Sara Jane Stone style, she has retold this story with such flair and feeling, you feel like it’s a story you have never heard before.
Lucia is in Las Vegas for two reasons; first for an art show and secondly, for a no holds bar fling. So when a man with a smooth as chocolate voice insists that he helps her with her list of passion, she is eager to accept.
Cade is in Vegas on a mission! Not a normal mission he is on when he is serving his country as a SEAL. This time he is on a mission for his best friend Natalie; to keep an eye on her estranged sister Lucia and make sure she doesn’t end up in a dangerous situation. But when Cade meets Lucia, he doesn’t expect to have this instant attraction to her, he also doesn’t expect to insist that he be the man to fulfill her post-it of passion.
But when things are omitted, will it destroy their time together and possibility other relationships.
This book was amazing! It not only kept me on the edge of my seat, but I also had to turn down the air conditioning, as it got a little steamy here. I loved every word in this book, even when I was crying (yep, I was totally mushy). I found the writing smooth, the plot without holes and it left me wanting to read Natalie’s story immediately!
I give To Tempt a SEAL 9 out of 10

Awesome read! Very well written with great characters. Sizzling hot sexy and a wonderful story of a young woman spreading her wings, facing fears, and doing something wonderfully wicked just for herself. After a very rough childhood, Lucia Lewis has scars inside and out. Now she is determined to get past all those with a vacation trip to Vegas. On his way to Vegas to visit family, Cade Daniels is more than happy to look after his best friend's timid and naive sister while she visits Vegas. The woman he finds in Vegas and the woman his friend described are nothing alike. Lucia pulls at his heart like no one else has but is he willing to put it all out there for her?

This is one I definitely recommend for everyone! ( )

Another fabulous read from Sara Jane Stone! This is a quick, steamy read that will have you hooked from the start. It is well written with a fresh element to the story. The characters are likable and the chemistry between them is scorching. There is enough background for the story to be enjoyable and to set up future stories in the Sin City SEALS novels. I can't wait to read more books in this new series!
