Okay friends, let’s talk about Seth by Lynn Raye Harris. This one hit all the right notes for me—small town tension, sizzling enemies-to-lovers chemistry, and just enough danger to keep me on the edge of my seat.
Right from the jump, the book starts with action, and Callie is in need of help. She goes to One Shot Tactical because of an interaction she had with them previously, but the guy she wants help from isn’t the one she finds. Instead she gets Seth, who is quite grumpy and has a hostility towards her that she doesn’t truly understand.
But what really got me was the emotional core.
Our heroine is not just trying to survive—she’s also fighting to protect her younger sister. She’s fierce, determined, and carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders. The stakes are personal and high, and that made each twist in the story land that much harder. Callie’s protective instincts brought out something deep in Seth—and once he gets into protector mode? Total catnip. He’s broody, capable, and willing to burn the world down to keep her safe. YES, please.
The small-town backdrop adds that perfect layer of secrets and close-quarters tension, while the danger creeping in from the shadows keeps the pace tight and fast. Add in the funny moments with a frustrated Alex as his men fall for the women around them, and the great supporting cast of characters. I didn’t want to put this one down.
If you’re into stories with forced proximity, reluctant allies, high-stakes emotions, and just the right amount of suspense wrapped up in swoony moments. Plus secrets coming to light, then Seth is going to be a hit for you. It’s gritty, heartfelt, and packed with emotional payoff.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – A definite add to your TBR if you love your romance with danger, depth, and undeniable heat.
