The feelings that spring up between Samantha and Harris are palpable from their very first meeting. All of the surprises that occur once he brings her back to the sustainable community, between her apprehension over being around the other women and finding her place in the community, and the fact that he is quickly falling for a woman who was slated to marry Curtis, the man who drew the short straw, make for a humorous and heart wrenching love story. We have to keep in mind that Harris, too, has yet to find his position inside this group of Navy SEALs who are all still trying to prove their worth to the world. Then there's the impact Samantha's absence has on her family of musicians for which she has not only been the bus driver but for all intents and purposes, the caretaker. Will she gain her independence in a world away from her family and still be able to be with the only man who has ever taken her to a place where she feels loved and treasured?
Each time Ms. Seton adds to her sustainable community and the home of her lovely Jane Austen devotees, we find a new layer of not only love and joy, but conflict and hardship. Each of these characters comes with their own set of circumstances and backstories, some of them rather painful and frightening. But she draws us into these lives and this community, not only to see the love bloom between unlikely candidates for the unions that must take place in order for them to keep their happy homes, but we learn something new about sustainable communities, the hardships of living in an Austenian era, and the way that the two worlds can combine to become a place of unification.
No one writes romance quite like this author, and she gives us the most fulfilling HEA. And when her books are from a series like these, we are left excited for the next one in the series. With all of the secrets being exchanged concerning Savannah, I can’t wait to see what happens with her and Jericho.

A sexy romance
A Seal’s Pledge by Cora Seton takes place in Chance Creek, Montana at a community called Base Camp. A group of former Navy SEALs have come together to start a sustainable community where they build all the houses, grow all the food, and go back to the old way of living.The catch is that the billionaire that owns the land and is financing the project wants publicity and has the project become a reality show. Oh yeah, and all the guys must get married to women (who all dress in period clothing) they just met and have babies within a year. What could go wrong?Samantha Smith is 27, single, and the daughter of hippie rock stars and still lives on their tour bus. She has no musical talent and is forced to drive the bus all over the country. One night, her family turns on a show called Base Camp where she sees hunky Navy SEALS in their planned community with the women in their Regency clothing. It looks like it’s straight out of an Austin novel and she’s intrigued.Sam applies for the show, packs her bags and leaves the bus (without her family’s knowledge) and heads to Montana where she’s met at the airport by Harris, one of the SEALs. Harris is not who she was picked to marry on the show but she falls for him instantly. The run off and elope before heading back to the Camp, where the producer learns what they’ve done and is insanely irate.She’s forced to act like they’re not married and court both Harris and another SEAL named Curtis for whom she was intended.Will Curtis steal her heart away or will she fall harder for Harris? She’s given 30 days to make her decision on camera. As shes followed around by a camera crew, learns to work in Regency period clothing, and dates two guys competing for her heart, Sam is in over her head.Who will win her heart? And will it be a matter of life or death?This book by Cora Seton (who always writes fabulous books) was a sexy, steamy page turner with chaos, love and self discovery. I loved the idea of the self sustainable community and watching the characters grow and fall for each other. Absolutely recommend.
