Too Hot to Hold: (Navy Seals, Book 2) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is the second book in Stephanie Tyler's Navy Seals series about 3 brothers.
Too Hot To Hold is Nick's story......I think?
I was looking forward to this book after reading Hard To Hold. Nick's story seemed liked it was going to be very interesting after he appeared in book 1. In fact one of the things that appealed to me about this series was the relationship and camaraderie between the three brothers. I just wish there had been more of it.
This book was supposed to be Nick's story as I stated earlier, but he had to share center stage with Clutch and Sarah's story (who also appear in Hard to Hold), and third brother Chris and Jamie's story (he's supposed to star in book 3 Hold on Tight). Now don't get me wrong, I think secondary characters and their storylines are an integral part of a novel, but in this book they almost had equal billing and quite simply I wanted more of Nick and Kaylee's story.
Nick and Kaylee seemed like they could have been soul mates. Both were in trouble with the law during their youth for their car-stealing abilities and adeptness at hot-wiring cars. Both had major family issues with Nick choosing to leave/disown his own family at 14 and Kaylee being abandoned by her mother at 9. And both are keeping huge secrets.
Kalyee is a journalist who's on the hunt for the truth about her supposedly dead ex-husband Adam. Who knew a dead man could make phone calls? And he's been calling Kaylee or has he? Kaylee contacts Nick from a list left to her by her Ex as one of the last people to see Adam alive to try and help her uncover the truth.
Together they embark on a journey to Africa which was Adam's last know location. They discover they've been setup and are now in grave danger and on the run as attempts are made on their lives. With Clutch and Sarah in tow, they try to stop a top secret plot to eradicate a group of government sanctioned mercenaries code name GOST of which Clutch is a member.
Despite the secrets Nick and Kaylee are keeping from one another, they have no problem in the having sex department (including in his Porsche and the wet African outdoors).
These two seemed to fall fast and fall hard for each other and frankly I just couldn't buy into it. Nick had barely been able to maintain a relationship in his past for more than a few hours with other women; had never spend an entire night when he did have sex with someone and could barely stand to be touched. Considering the minimal amount of time he spent with Kaylee I just didn't believe he could be in love with her.
I will read the third book in the series, Chris' story, but this one left me wanting more.
