Subject: Navy SEAL Lieutenant Blake Landon
Current Status: Two weeks of enforced leave
Mission: Distract himself in any way possible
Obstacle: A woman who tempts him to break the rules...including his own!
Navy SEAL Blake Landon (aka "Boy Scout") knows the rule book inside and out. Checked. Rechecked. But when a mission ends badly, his entire team is ordered on leave. And that's when Blake sees the tall redhead whose dark eyes suggest that the rules-especially those in bed-are made to be broken.
Scientist Alexia Lane has sex on the brain-partly for work, but mostly because she needs a man who makes her girly parts do the happy dance. Her only no-no? No military dudes. But Blake's rockin' bod promises delicious pleasures, and Alexia is halfway to sexual Nirvana before she can find out he's actually a Navy SEAL.
And where one rule is broken, more are sure to follow....
Uniformly Hot! The Few. The Proud. The Sexy as Hell!

I really liked the sound of this one but in the end I was
really disappointed with it. I couldn’t
connect with the characters or the story and it didn’t engage me at all.
The characters were annoying and unlikeable. Blake had no real personality at all and he
was really quite boring. When he meets
Alexia she makes it clear that she wants nothing to do with military men at
all. Instead of telling her he is a SEAL
and proving to her that her ideas of men in the military are wrong he hides the
truth from her and then starts sleeping with her. If that happened to me I would be livid, it
was not a good move.
Alexia is no better, in fact she is worse and she constantly
contradicts herself. She spends a whole
dinner trying to dump Edward (the guy she is dating) because she is 100% sure
she does not want to be with him. Not
that I blame her, he is boring, doesn’t believe in passion and wants to plan
their sex life in an organised and sensible fashion, somehow she doesn’t dump
him and a chapter latter is talking about how she has feelings for Edward that
needs to be explored, what happened to that 100%? Five minutes after that she
is chatting up Blake and not look after that they are in bed together.
Another thing she did that was infuriating was categorize
all the people in a night club, she claims the woman are all there to get laid
or to find a husband and makes it clear that she doesn’t think highly of them
or the military guys they are after.
When she is asked what category she falls into she claims that it is not
right to label people or make generalisations…but wait, IS THAT NOT WHAT YOU
JUST DID?!? She was also extremely full
of herself and to be honest I hated her.
The storyline was alright but it was a little far-fetched
and didn’t interest me enough. I really
didn’t enjoy this book the characters were just too horrible.
