Publisher's Summary

He’s the one man she can never forgive...or forget.

Lexi Mattingly, a hotshot Pentagon security specialist, can’t escape her past. Sent down to Little Creek to track down hackers attempting to infiltrate top secret naval databases, the last man she expects to run into is the ruggedly handsome Navy SEAL she left in Coronado a lifetime ago.

Navy SEAL Christopher “Blade” Walters has carried a torch for a decade. The sparks ignited years ago on the beaches of California never burned out, and the man destined to be alone feels them slowly combust when the woman he’d lost forever walks back into his life.

Lexi and Christopher must learn to work together to stop the hackers. But when she’s kidnapped from her hotel, Christopher may be the only man who can save her. 

Can she trust the man who broke her heart to protect her life? And more importantly, can he convince her to give their love a second chance?

A SEAL’s Surrender is a stand-alone novel and book three in the addictive Alpha SEALs series.

Such a good series!

Mix passion, military and suspense and you have me hooked. This third book in the Alpha Seals series, Makenna Jameison takes us on a mission to track down hackers trying to retrieve top secret documents. Lexi Mattingly is the woman for this task, but little does she know, on her team will be the man whom she has done her best to forget over the past 10 years. When Christopher “Blade” Walters walks back into her life, she does her best to push him away, but the heart wants what the heart wants. What Blade couldn’t give her back then, he surely does his best now to show her he can give it to her now. But when things get dangerous in their mission, Blade is the only one that can save her! I love second chances at love, and Jameison pulls out all the stops for this one. I wasn’t sure if Lexi wanted Blade back, but I certainly loved the way he tried to convince her! The steamy passion is high, the suspense thrilling and I loved every minute.

There is more that keeps me coming back to this series. The fantastic narration by Sophie James is a great motivator. She has such great voices, and I really love her sound. She was one of my first listens and has stuck with me for years as one of my top women voice performers.

Steamy, fun, short romance!

Narrator did a good job. She had a nice voice and fit the story well. Nice performance and recording. Good listen!

Love the second chance aspect between Lexi and Chris. Also, enjoyed the security team premise; could’ve had a bit more, but I liked what was there. Like a bit of action in the romances I read; fun stuff! Lexi and Chris had a fight years ago and broke up; both have never forgotten the other, but there’s some bad blood there. When their work brings them back together, their passionate connection immediately brings these two together. Steamy times between these two! Overall, a fun, quick read!

4/5

I've heard of Makenna Jameison but I'm not sure if I've read her before. I really liked A SEAL's Surrender. Lexi and Christopher broke up nearly a decade ago but neither have truly moved on and both are still upset with how things ended. A chance meeting throws these two together again and Christopher isn't going to let her go again. I liked the mystery of who was infiltrating their system (seems a bit relevant now) and I like how Lexi had different ways to trap the hackers depending on the type of hacker. A SEAL's Surrender was relatively short, allowing me to listen to it completely during my workday. I'm giving this four stars rather than five because it felt kind of rushed. The conclusion wasn't very satisfying. I was also wanted more to the epilogue.

I received this audiobook for free from Audiobook Obsession. This is my honest and voluntary review.

hot sexy

I love a military second chance romance. Lexi and Christopher have a history which devastated Lexi 10 Years ago. Both are put on the same espionage team for finding a hacker trying to retrieve government secrets. Of course memories from their last heats up. This sexy steamy story has secrets, danger , regrets and a whole lot of Navy Seals
Sophie James narration was good. 🎧audiobookobsessionreview🎧

Great Second Chance to Love!

This is the third book in the Alpha SEALs Series. I love military romance! This is a great second chance to love. Lexi and Christopher's story is well written, intriguing, sexy, fast-paced, and suspenseful. They are both strong characters. The storyline is well balanced between suspense, romance, and sexy times. Sophie James did an amazing job with the narration. I love her voice! I enjoyed it! Looking forward to listen the next installment in the Series, A SEAL's Seduction. #AudiobookObsession

sweet story

This is a sweet, hot second chance romance with a very high heat level and two characters with chemistry that is of the charts.

Stand alone second chance romantic suspense

I listened to the audiobook. The narrator had a pleasant voice and was nice to listen to, but I do wish there had been more differentiation between voices. I can usually tell who's speaking just by the way the narrator talks for them, but that wasn't the case with this one--though the benefit to that is that there also no annoying voices.

The story itself was a pretty quick listen. As is often the case with second chance stories, it skips a lot of the 'getting to know you' section which is often one of my favorite parts. I liked the suspense elements and would recommend it to listeners who like second chance and romantic suspense.

interesting book

This book surprised me. The story was pretty interesting and I managed to follow along pretty well. Due to personal circumstances, I was unable to get into the book But I came back a week later and thoroughly enjoyed it. This book was entertaining and the characters were likable. The narration was done well and fit the story.

Second chance romance

I sometimes feel like I’m not qualified to leave a review, especially when I know I couldn’t write or narrate any better.
I did enjoy this book, the story line was good but I feel like the writing was a bit impractical or unrealistic. HEA. The narration was good.

2nd chance love

great story with lots of suspense. Finding each other after 10 years. Though the beginning seemed to repeat itself or putting in fluff.

Narrator wasn't bad. She did have a very raspy voice. Hard to tell difference in characters.

A SEAL's Surrender

I loved the story itself but a lot could have been avoided if not for youthful stupidity. I kind of hate that it took 10 years to reunite, but the romance and suspense was on point.
Narration by Sophie James was well done.

Descent voice and story

I like that it has both romance and suspense and it’s a sneaky trick to make the stories standalone in this series because I got a urge to have the rest of the story stories.
No unnecessary descriptions of surroundings, good dialogues.
Characters is well described and developed in to realistic personalities.
Good storyline that progresses nicely into a happy ending.

Narrator:
Please pronunciation and read with feelings could be a more distinct male voice I’m satisfied.
