Let’s talk about Seth by Lynn Raye Harris. This one hit all the right notes. Small town tension, sizzling enemies-to-lovers chemistry with just enough danger to keep me on the edge of my seat.
Right from the start, 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. However, 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 understand (don’t wait she will).
But what really got me was the emotional core of their story.
Our heroine is not just trying to survive—she’s also fighting to protect her younger sister after the death of their parents a coupe years prior to the start of the book. 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 land that much harder. Callie’s protective instincts brought out something deep in Seth—and once he gets into protector mode? Total catnip. Seth is broody, capable, and willing to burn the world down to keep her safe.
A 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 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 the right amount of suspense mixed in with 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.
