Reno's Chance- never before released as a standalone novella! Previously published in the anthology Honk If You Love Real Men.
Ever since she was a little girl, Raven McIntire has secretly pined and longed for her best friend's sexy older brother, Reno, a Navy SEAL who has just returned home from duty. What she doesn't realize is that his only true mission is to get into her heart and get her into his bed.

My Review

I was looking for another military book to read, and another blogger suggested Lora Leigh’s Tempting Seals series to me. Where have I been all this time and why did I not try out any of Lora Leigh’s books before? I freaking loved Reno’s Chance, and this was just a novella. I can’t wait to get into the other books in the series. I had a hard time putting down my Kindle. I read, this novella, whenever I could sneak it in between books I had to review and in between college assignments. I even read it while waiting for my daughter to get out of school one day. (I bet the parents around me saw me blushing and saw my smile while reading this novella….LOL)

The heat level in Reno’s Chance was scorching, and I loved both Reno and Raven. Even when it’s a short novella, Lora Leigh managed to make it one hot little number of a story. Holy crap was thinking about it…!!! =)

Reno was the sexy, determined Navy Seal trying to get the beautiful Raven to become more than just friends. They had known each other for years, but Raven did not want to start anything with Reno due to her worries of losing him. Reno’s a Navy Seal, so she is allowed to worry. Reno though wants to reassure her that it will be worth it, and he will do anything to be with her and show how much he loves her.

I loved how Reno would always chase after Raven and Raven would continuously run off. She didn’t make it easy for him, but Reno knew if he continued to chase after her, she would eventually give in.
If you are looking for a quick read with some very heated sexual moments with a Navy Seal and lots of romance, then this is the book for you.

I give this novella 5 full moons and look forward to diving into the next book in the series. This was a great start to what is to come in the following books. It sure piqued my interest. =) I LOVE me some military romance books with a very sexy Navy Seal.

I guess I should type a bio here. I'm FranJessca, or Fran for short. I'm the owner/reviewer behind A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog. I've been reading and reviewing books on my blog since leaving the Navy in 2011, and I will keep doing it as long as possible. My favorite genres will always be Romance & Fantasy, and I read every subgenre underneath those two genres. (Sorry, not a fan of nonfiction, so don't try to convince me to read it.)
My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
