I don’t think I have to tell anyone what occurred Sunday May 1, 2011. I won’t but suffice enough to say it has thrust the Navy SEALs in the spotlight like never before (in a good way, of course). My first thought when I learned that a Black Ops team performed the mission to take down the #1 Terrorist in the world was, Boy, they do make for wonderful romance heroes. They are in top physical shape, educated (most SEALs have a BA or Master’s degree), have courage beyond measure and possess  unparallelled mental fortitude. Seriously, these guys can kick ass.

I’ve read romance novels about Navy SEALs and ex-Navy SEALs, the most memorable being Linda Howard’s, MACKENZIE’S PLEASURE–fabulous book! The book starts with the daring rescue of Barrie Lovejoy, a senator’s daughter, by our uber-sexy hero, Navy SEAL Team Six member Zane Mackenzie. They share some very intense and private hours together before they escape Benghazi, Libya. Back home in the States, they face the consequences of that shared time… This was a hot, riveting read and I’ve read this book at least ten times since I first read it in 1996–and skimmed it a few dozen times.  MACKENZIE’S PLEASURE is the third book in Linda Howard’s Mackenzie’s series. If you haven’t read them, you need to. I actually just bought the entire collection in digital (in book order): MACKENZIE’S MOUNTAIN, MACKENZIE’S MISSION, MACKENZIE’S PLEASURE, MACKENZIE’S MAGIC (novella), A GAME OF CHANCE.

This is a 2007 picture of a real Navy SEAL. Can anyone say hello back tattoos. And I can’t say I’ve ever been totally into tattoos but there are just some bodies that can do it justice. This Navy SEAL does it justice.

So to celebrate our brave men in blue, today I’m giving away a copy of Pamela Clare’s BREAKING POINT and Mary Margret Daughtridge’s SEALed WITH A RING. Comment to enter to win!

  1. WOW…guy with the back tat is HOT HOT HOT! Love me some Navy Seals…’specially after their spectacular May Day surprise 🙂 I’d love to read both books!

  2. p.s. If shameless bribery would help, I have cookie recipes to share 🙂

  3. There is nothing more sexier than a navy SEAL. I watched a documentary a few years back about their training, and they really are the best of the best! When buying books, books with SEALs as heros are usually a must buy like those Dukes and Earls…impossible to have a bad one!

  4. You’ve gotta love those Navy Seals. So strong with no fear and finally got rid of that garbage who had been rotting on a compost heap for the last few years. Go Seals – you rock!!!!

  5. So glad that SEALs are getting their due in the media and in fiction. I would love to win Breaking Point. I’ve read a ton of excerpts and it sounds very exciting. Thanks for another great giveaway!

  7. Navy Seals are definitely hot. Sandra Hill has several books featuring Navy Seals; they’re time travel romances and are great reads.

  8. I love to read a good Seal story from time to time! I’m really looking forward to Breaking Point!

  10. Oh Navy SEALs. I’m so glad I live in a city where there’s an abundance of them. It’s so awesome to go sit up high with binoculars and see if they’re out and about training. I’m sure SEALs will be the next big thing in romance. And I’m all for it!

  11. I loved the Linda Howard MacKenzies series, too. As for SEALs in general, it is wonderfully appealing to have a strong, intelligent hero who fights for our benefit.

  13. Okay, seeing that picture has made the whole SEAL thing really work for me… 😉

  14. I loved those early Linda Howard stories, and hope that more Navy Seal fans will go check out these titles.

  16. Wonderful post,Navy Seal are the best if they can’t get it done nobody can and i love them in books .

  19. *fanning myself* Those SEALS are so hawt!! I really enjoy reading SEAL stories.

    Sounds like I need to buy Linda Howard’s Mackenzie’s series. Would love to win and read Breaking Point and Sealed With A Ring.

  23. Us romance readers were at the SEALs appreciation party first! (This goes doubly for the writers.) 😉

  24. Gotta love those military heroes (in books and life.) I enjoyed Sealed with a Ring and would like the chance to read Breaking Point. Thanks.

  25. Holy smokes! I was going to leave a great comment about SEALS but that pic has me drooling all over my keyboard now! God Bless America!!!!! Both these books look great. I have had Breaking Point on my wish list for awhile. Would love a chance to win! Thanks!

  26. Dang. He has a nice back 😉

    And might I also recommend some books? The Troubleshooter Series – Suzanne Brockmann. She’s a genius with male dialogue. Absolutely superb.

  27. *swoon* I have to fan myself after that picture! Love those strong hero’s who will always come to your rescue! I had Breaking Point in my hand the other day… I shouldve got it.

  31. Oh, those MacKenzies… They are my absolute Linda Howard-favourites! Zane is a real SEAL!

  33. Holy Moly that guy is hot and I love his tattoo. I enjoy reading books about Navy Seals, in fact my all time favorite epilogue is in Mackenzie’s Pleasure. God Bless the Navy SEALs Six team and all of our men and women in service.

  34. Just finished MMD’s “Sealed with a Kiss” and really enjoyed it. Thanks for the giveaway — and the nice pictures!

  35. I’ve enjoyed both authors’ works and look forward in reading more of them. I’ve added these books to my must have list.

  38. Seals – the best of the best. I’ve enjoyed her historicals and would love to try her new genre!

  40. Back tats for the WIN! 😉 I haven’t read a SEAL romance, but I have been looking forward to reading Breaking Point!

  41. Two books that are on my Wish List. Would love to win them. Another author having writing about SEALs is Suzanne Brockmann. Great series. I started it in the middle and am going back to pick up the earlier ones. Just finished THE ADMIRAL’S BRIDE today. A well written series.

  43. Gotta love those men in uniform. That picture of the real Navy Seal is totally hot! Did anyone else notice the scar on his back? Looks like he had been stabbed at some point….wonder what happened?
