Book Review: Seal Under Siege by Liz Johnson
I was thrilled to get an email asking if I’d read and review Liz Johnson’s latest Love Inspired Suspense novel, the second in her Men of Valor series, Seal Under Siege. In this installment, we meet Tristan Sawyer (brother to Ashley, who we met in the first Men of Valor book) as he and his SEAL team rescue Staci Hayes and an older missionary couple from a Middle Eastern prison. Technically that should be the end of their association – but once Staci is back home, she realizes her life may still be in danger. She enlists Tristan’s grudging help – and both of them end up with more than they expected.
Liz Johnson’s books always fly by – that’s my only complaint about them, honestly — I tend to read them in one sitting, regardless of what I’m ignoring in order to make that happen. The stories and characters are engrossing and they leave you tapping your fingers until the next book comes out.
If you’re looking for an end of summer read, you can’t go wrong with Seal Under Siege.
Summary:
SHE’S NOT SAFE YET
When Staci Hayes is rescued from a Mideast prison by navy SEAL Tristan Sawyer, she thinks the ordeal is over. But back in San Diego, a new threat arises. Staci has information that could prevent a hit on U.S. soil, and the terrorist will stop at nothing to silence her. Tristan insists on being her bodyguard, but his constant presence makes her long for things beyond her reach. Protecting Staci is the second chance Tristan needs to put the past behind him. Yet with a spy on the naval base, anyone could be a threat. Can he offer her safety…and love?

Excerpt:
“You said I was safe. You said you’d protect me.”
“I did. You made it safely home, didn’t you?” His words were short but not unkind.
“I made it home, anyway.”
Those blue eyes sliced into hers.
“What does that mean?”
“Someone has been following me, and I think it’s the same man from Lybania.”
His arms crossed over his broad chest, the sleeves of his t-shirt pulling snug around his biceps. He looked so intimidating.
“Did you call the police? Tell them you’re being stalked, and they can look into it for you. They can handle things like that.”
“They wouldn’t help me.” If she had any idea how to face down the man following her on her own, she would. But since she didn’t, she had to convince the lieutenant to help.
Taking a firm step toward him, she pointed her finger at his chest. “Listen to me. I’m in trouble, but it’s not just me. I don’t know the name of the man who’s after me, but I know what I heard. He’s plotting to blow something up . . . here in San Diego.”
