Known
for her distinctive ability to blend emotion, humor and suspense in tight
gripping stories featuring irresistible alpha SEAL heroes, New York Times and
USA TODAY bestselling author Tawny Weber returns with her brand-new novel, CALL
TO HONOR, the first book of three in her SEAL Brotherhood series.
Call to Honor:
The
Poseidon team are hard-bodied, fiercely competitive navy SEALs. But when a
sensitive mission goes disastrously wrong, three of the team’s finest will have
to trust their hearts and instincts to uncover the truth…
“No
man left behind” is inscribed in the DNA of every SEAL and Lieutenant Diego
Torres is no exception. But with a team member killed—and the body
missing—Diego's honor is sorely tested. Now his career and reputation are on
the line, and a traitor is hiding among them. Diego wants answers…and only one
woman has them.
Single
mom Harper Maclean has two priorities—raising her son Nathan and starting a new
life. Her mysterious new neighbor may be impossibly charming, but Diego asks
too many questions about her past—and about the father of her child. Questions
she fears will reveal her burning attraction for Diego, and ultimately put them
all in danger’s path.

Excerpt
First
Look:
“You’re the best, mister.” The kid had to get his smile
from his mother, Diego decided. Because not once could Diego remember Ramsey’s
smile making him want to offer one in return.
“Diego,” he said after a second, figuring talking was
better than standing here on the sidewalk, grinning like an idiot. “You can
call me Diego.”
“Cool. I’m Nathan. I’m seven. I’m gonna be a stuntman
when I grow up. Or a veterinarian. I’d rather be a Jedi warrior, but Mom says
we’ll see about that one. She says that about a lot of stuff. We’ll see. What
are you?”
Huh? Was that a question? The kid’s expression said it was, so
Diego did a mental replay.
“I’m in security,” he said, using the cover Savino had
decided on.
“Bet you’re good at it.” Grabbing the bike by the handles,
the kid gave it a good shake, then grinned when the chain stayed in place.
“You’re good at fixing things, too. Maybe you could teach me to fix some
things?”
Diego didn’t have much
experience with kids—hell, he didn’t have any experience. Despite that, he had
to figure this one was something special.
Before he could answer him, a delivery truck rumbled its
way to a stop in front of the kid’s house. Something he’d noticed was a
regular occurrence. At least once, sometimes twice a day.
“You sure get a lot of deliveries,” he observed, watching
a guy in shorts carry a stack of boxes toward the door.
“Yeah. Mom gets tons of
stuff. She decorates for people’s houses. She orders pillows and bowls and
things like that. Sometimes she gets material and things to help her decide
colors.”
Convenient. Or it would be if Ramsey were running drugs or stolen
goods—that’d be a solid cover. But unless he’d shipped himself home in an ash
can, it probably wasn’t pertinent. Lansky would claim otherwise, though, so
Diego made a note to mention it in his next report.
He caught a flash of something out of the corner of his
eye. All it took was a casual glance toward the house to send him rocking back
on his heels.
Damn.
Not even signing for a slew of packages and fending off
the flirtations of the delivery guy were enough to keep Harper Maclean from
sending her son a protective frown.
So far his glimpses of her had been at a longer distance
than the twenty feet currently separating them. Her photos didn’t do her
justice. He’d known she was a looker, but no way he’d have thought fully
dressed in person could trump that bikini shot, even if that bikini shot had
been kind of blurry.
He’d
have been wrong.

My Review:
Call to Honor is the first in a new series by Tawny Weber featuring the Poseidon Team...an elite division of navy SEALs. In Call to Honor Harper is a single mother with a hurtful history with an ex who has never been involved with their son. Threats he made have made her fearful, and she trusts few people. When her ex is missing and presumed KIA, some parts of the navy have questions, others place blame. Diego is part of Poseidon and due to these events and suspicion of his team, he is sent to investigate and survey Harper...just in case the ex shows up. Because no one on either side knows the full story.
Diego lives for his work and his team, and the attraction he feels for Harper is unexpected and strong. As they become closer, the sparks are flying. But secrets can't stay hidden, and as the plot thickens sooner or later they come out. Call to Honor has an intriguing plot filled with possibilities and strong characters. I don't know if it was always realistic, but it felt real as I read it. Harper is strong and very protective of her son. She doesn't talk about a lot of her past, and Diego wonders what she could be hiding. Harper has no idea what Diego is hiding, or that he is even hiding anything. Diego is all alpha with so many good qualities under his tough exterior, and I liked how he was with Harper and her son, even if I didn't like what he was hiding. I was very interested in how this relationship would play out, and I liked how Tawny Weber wrote it. Diego and Harper are different in many ways, but they really connected under that cloak of secrecy...could it last when the truth came out?
I liked the mystery and suspense of this plot as much as the romance, they really flowed and fit well together. Tawny Weber left enough threads dangling for the next story in this series, but not too many so I felt satisfied with the conclusion.
I will read the next book in this series and would recommend Call to Honor to any romantic suspense reader.
