I think this series has been one of favourites from Leslie North. I love Harris and Rachel. This was a book I couldn’t wait to finish but also didn’t want to get to the end.

Seals Accidental Family
Leslie North

If you had a treasure map, would you try to find the treasure? Well there are people searching for this treasure, who will stop at nothing to be the one to find it.

Rachel, a partial owner of a B&B with her mother, is rumored to have a hidden treasure somewhere on the property. Coming from a “lower” class family she works hard to overcome that stigmatism. With a unplanned pregnancy from crush Harris, she’s afraid of being looked down on again.

Harris, a Marine Raider who is on bereavement leave hooks up with Rachel. She’s been his fantasy for a few years. Her smaller statue, tattoos and brightly colored hair, makes her his fairy. He struggles with his decision of being released and head back over seas or retire and become a family. But as the danger increases for Rachel, can he keep her and the baby safe.

Both characters were well detailed, in their current lives but also in their earlier years growing up. I loved both characters, they were similar in regards to their internal struggles.
To me, this was a more “life” like experience of falling in love.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Not my usual genre but I thoroughly enjoyed this book it had a bit of mystery and a good storyline I recommend this book to anyone

Another winner in this series! Harris was all in with the news, and with Rachel’s problems at the B&B, he had all the reasons to stay and get better acquainted. I’m not sure why the title had to hav SEAL in it since he as a Marine, but otherwise I really enjoyed this book. Can’t wait for Lee’s story!

When Rachel Winchester and her mother inherited a home, Rachel used her funds to turn the home in to a B&B. Harris McCallister, Marine Ranger, is home on leave recovering from the loss of his best friend during their last deployment. While home, he is notified that his father has passed away. That night, he meets Rachel again and they spend the night together. A month after their night together, Rachel learns that she is pregnant with Harris’ baby. She is slowly making a success of the B&B and her mother wants to search the grounds for a supposed buried pirate treasure. When Rachel refuses to allow the search or to sell the B&B, her mother’s new male friend threatens that if Rachel’s business fails, he will take over the property. Obvious acts of vandalism occur that threaten Rachel and her business. She can’t believe that her own mother would try to ruin her. Harris is stunned by the news of the pregnancy, but moves in with Rachel to protect her. Will Harris be able to leave when his new deployment comes through? Has time with Rachel changed his priorities? I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation for an honest review. (by paytonpuppy)

While I’ve read many series by Leslie North, SEALs & Veterans has to be my all time favourite to date. The series follows the lives of the three McCallister brothers after the loss of their father and how each brother deals with the emotional impact.

Seal's Accidental Family is the middle McCallister brother’s story, and as per the title finds Harris suddenly faced the unexpected reality of impending fatherhood. The story shows a depth of warmth and sensitivity in this imposing Marine, and that the unanticipated can often be the best thing that could ever happen to a person. Harris rediscovers that the simple things in life are what make him the happiest and that loving a vibrant, colourful and feisty fairy could potentially be his future.

As with all deep romances, Rachel and Harris have obstacles in their way, not to mention someone determined to cause mayhem and havoc, at the risk of Rachel’s safety; add to that some misunderstandings and preconceptions to filter through, and you have to wonder whether parenthood will be enough to bridge the unknown and keep this perfectly matched couple together.

Harris and Rachel are a fabulous couple and barring some moments when I just wanted to shake (gently of course) the stubborn and independent Rachel, this book was beautifully written, made me swoon at the passion Harris committed to the nursery project, and basically want a Harris of my very own.

Rachel Winchester has fought against the idea that she was nothing but white trash and is now running a successful B&B. She finally had her way with a man she's crushed on for forever—Harris McCallister, the guy she's flirted with for years. When Harris sees Rachel again he's at a low point because not only is he dealing with the death of his father but also feeling responsible for the death of his friend who served in the service with him. Sharing a steam driven night with Rachel helps him to cope. But their one night together brings about an unexpected surprise. As they get to know each other they also deal with the numerous threats on Rachel's life. With everything that's going on Harris and Rachel will find out if they can have a life together.

The second book in this series, the story of Rachel and Harris.

She runs a B&B near the base where Harris is stationed. They know each other from when they used to flirt in bar where she once worked.
He is back in town after the death of one of his team, and is on his way home after his dad dies, so he doesn't think twice when she offers him a night of fun to distract him. But when she finds out she is pregnant will he support her and does he want more than just being the babies father? Add to that the mystery of who is trying to kill Rachel and the hint of buried treasure on the property.

Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Rachel and Harris have not had an easy life. Because of this it is hard for them to open up to others. I loved that they felt safe enough to express to the other rather early on what is and was going on.
The Seals Accidental Family, was awesome and the set up for Lee's story has left me counting the days until it too comes out.
