SEAL's Beautiful Thief (Sentinel Security Book 1) Kindle Edition

Will a thief’s daughter steal his heart?

If it’s not by the book, former Navy SEAL Maxwell Peters isn’t interested. He’s a rule-following kind of guy. Falling for investigator Violet Schroeder—the daughter of an infamous jewel thief—is definitely against his rules.

When Violet asks to partner with Maxwell on his latest security gig aboard a cruise, Maxwell resists. He doesn’t know if he can trust her, even if she is the best person for the job. But no one knows jewels and how to steal them better than Violet, and when she reveals her father might be on the one targeting the cruise, Maxwell reluctantly agrees to let her come.

For years, Violet has wanted to catch her father after he cruelly betrayed her. Now, she’s finally got a chance. All she has to do is play a hot Navy SEAL’s fake wife and not get distracted. Easy, right? But her growing attraction to Maxwell is something Violet didn’t count on. Soon, their pretend kisses aren’t so pretend, and a future with Maxwell is seeming like everything she never knew she wanted.

When the job turns deadlier than either of them anticipated, will he be able to trust her with the mission—and his heart?

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Wow - this story has it all - suspense, intrigue, adventure, friendship, love. The connection between Max and Violet is so intense that it is palpable, and the other characters in the story just add to the dynamic that is their relationship. If this is the first book in a new series, I can't wait to read the other stories." - Mg.

Leslie North is the USA Today Bestselling pen name for a critically-acclaimed author of women's contemporary romance and fiction. The anonymity gives her the perfect opportunity to paint with her full artistic palette, especially in the romance and erotic fantasy genres.

The truth of the matter is she loves her fictional persona, Leslie North, more than her normal, day-to-day persona! Her bestselling books focus on strong characters and particularly women who aren't afraid to challenge an alpha male. Inspired after years of travel, her stories are set all over the world, from the tough streets of Russia to the beautiful beaches of the middle east.

Leslie fell in love with romance when she first picked up a scrappy, dog-eared romance book from her local library. She began writing soon after and the rest, as they say, was history. She now lives in a cozy cottage on the British coast and enjoys taking long walks with her two Dalmatians, George and Fergie.

4.0 out of 5 stars Military LOVE
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2023
Former Navy SEAL Maxwell Peters is by the book. Rules are his bread and butter. Violet Schroeder is a coworker and the daughter of an infamous jewel thief-falling for her is 100% against the rules.
Violet has been after her father for years. When a mission with Maxwell comes to her attention she sense the perfect opportunity to her father from a betrayal years before.
When Violet volunteers for the mission Maxwell resists. How can he trust her when there is no one who knows jewels and how to steal them better than her?
Now the two must board a luxury cruise and pretend to be husband and wife. As the two get closer to the target they both must figure out how to navigate the pretend kisses that are becoming all too real. With a threat looming could the two figure out their issues.
I love a good military romance. There is nothing like a wild FMC that loosens up the stodgy MMC. This book gives all of that and more. If you love a dual pov, enemies to lovers, and bad girl vs good guy this book is for you.
Maxwell is a character that comes off as extremely uptight no nonsense stick in the mud. He is also very judgmental which was kind of annoying but as the story progresses he gets looser. He is the epitome of a military man.
Violet is certainly laid back and more go with the flow. There were times I wanted her to fight back against Maxwells judgements. Violet is a caring character and it comes across that she has truly reformed.
The two could not be more opposite and that does come across. With that it works so well for the characters between the wonderful writing and story the personalities mesh to great chemistry. For a small book this is a slow burn.
As for the story I love the anticipation of Violet’s dads new partner, and how they were going to attempt the jewel heist. I would be remiss to mention the secondary characters they were GREAT! I love that even when the “mission” ends we still see these characters.
I liked this book and I have even downloaded the next book in the series!

I'm so enjoying this series. Maxwell and Violet didn't think they liked each and had nothing in common but things are not always as they seem. An intriguing read that captivated me from the beginning.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fun story with so much potential.
Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2021
I love a good Navy Seal story add in a cruise ship, travel destination, and a little suspense and I’m in. And this book had all of that. Maxwell is everything you want in a hero sexy, intelligent, caring, closed off but just waiting for the right woman to come along and change his world. And Violet is the woman to do all of that, especially as she is a former jewel thief.
The enemies to lovers storyline played out well and I was interested in the characters as well as the secondary ones on the ship and it was a fun read but then when the romance got going it was very quick. There was a lot more telling instead of showing especially with the romance and the conclusion of the two characters. I was disappointed that I didn’t get more of their resolution. It felt like the story was just thrown together at times as if the author was bored and just wanted to get to the end.
The story checks all the boxes and was a fun read, I just wanted more of the romance instead of them just the suspense which wasn’t very fleshed out with the father in my opinion. The two other guys who the second and third story will be about were in this book but that is about all I can say about them. I like that they weren’t central and you didn’t need to know about them to read the story but would have liked more to be invested in the sequential books.

4.0 out of 5 stars 'She didn't know if she wanted to slap him or kiss him again'
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 6, 2021

Opposites definitely attract and Violet is as opposite to Maxwell as you can get. She is a beautiful, sassy, feisty, fly by the seat of her pants, handful that pushes every one of Maxwell's buttons. By contrast he is a broody, plan every moment, keep control guy who sees everything in black and white, no shades of grey, no exceptions, no deviations....so we get lots of fireworks, misunderstandings and explosive discussions to go with the chemistry and steamy moments!
A fantastic introduction to the Sentinel Security series which I read on Kindle Unlimited.
