Publisher's summary

Saving lives is his mission.

In Hidden Agendas by Lora Leigh, tough-as-nails Navy SEAL Kell Kreiger is the best there is at searching, rescuing, and taking no prisoners…yet even the rush of ever-more dangerous missions isn’t enough to satisfy him. Haunted by a tortured past, Kell seeks distraction in a secret world of dark intimacies. But when Emily Stanton, the one ray of light in Kell’s shadowy existence, is pursued by a ruthless drug lord, the rules of the game suddenly change - and Kell will have to go deeper undercover than he ever imagined....

Saving her is his passion.

Emily has loved Kell ever since her father, a prominent politician, rescued him from a brutal life on the streets. They were kids then, too young to act on what was growing between them…but now that Emily is ready, the handsome, headstrong SEAL has decided he’s no good for her. Ever since he rescued her from Diego Fuentes’ compound, Kell’s only duty has been to keep Emily safe. But Fuentes isn’t finished with Emily - or Kell. And to protect Emily, Kell has no choice but to lay himself - body, soul, and secrets - bare…and fight against evil with all his heart.

Great Series! Tempting SEALs-Durango Team

This Tempting SEALs series is chronologically before the Elite Ops series. Durango team is backup for Elite Ops, though some of Durango do move into Elite Ops, and these are their stories. Having read them in print (rare for me because I DO NOT make time to read actual text often), I HIGHLY recommend both series completely, preferably to be read in order. Not sure why the releases are all over the place in terms of 1, 2 and 5 of Elite and then 2 and 4 of TS, but hopefully they will all eventually end up recorded as audiobooks and soon.

These are standard Lora Leigh, so there is definitely hot sex on the menu, but these are not like some of her more superficial reads. There is love, loss, fear, hope, rebellion, forgiveness, lots of action and betrayal. I am a huge fan of the Black Dagger Brotherhood series, and these 2 series have a lot of the same appeal for me, in that you get to know the many characters better and understand more as you read each book (which is why it really is unfortunate that they are not being released in order, but I already said that).

This one is all about Kell Krieger, super hot bad boy tough guy, and Emily Stanton, the overprotected but not-so-sheltered daughter of a senator. Kell's job is to protect Emily when drug lord, Diego Fuentes, and other baddies threaten to kidnap her AGAIN, years after she endured a hellish ordeal at their hands in which she was rescued by Kell and his team. Emily is a good heroine in that she is not whiny or helpless, and Kell has some interesting baggage to work through with his family and past. There is also some good info on Nathan Malone and Ian Richards who turn up later in the Elite Ops series and even more about Ian (and Kira) in the next TS installment which I sincerely hope will be out super soon because, while this doesn't really end on a cliffhanger, it does make you want to keep going to get to the "what happens now?" And I can tell you that what happens is pretty exciting and DEFINITELY WORTH A CREDIT, as is this one and all the others in these 2 series which are really more like one series in 2 parts (Durango Team and Elite Ops).

Awesome!!!

I loved loved loved this book. Sexy. I couldn't stop listening to it. So upset when I finished!!

One of the best books EVER!

This extremely erotic romance has unbelievably strong characters & an intriguing plot line not even found in the most popular thrillers. So much better than the first one, wish I could give it more than 5 stars. Narrator was terrific.

Overcoming life’s fears

I recommend this book to everyone who enjoy intriguing plots and capable women who aren’t afraid to take on dangerous alpha males that love them.
