Hot SEALs and lots of lust. Clearly, I need to dive into this entire series and roll around in it. Better late than never!

Trouble Maker has the one reluctantly horny mom fending off her own walking wet dream. Bad boy vibes are strong but this tough momma is stronger...until she isn't.

Sexy fun for all and then it happens...feelings are caught. Lives are changed. A SEAL is sunk with two six year old buoys attached to him.

Another great book from Elle Kennedy.

I really liked Seth and Miranda's storyline, with unexpected emotional backstory and forced proximity (who doesn't love this troupe!?)

As usual, the supporting characters were just as important as Miranda and Seth.

The only part that I wasn't completely sold in was Seth changing his mind about the twins.

The next book was set up nicely at the end

Seth and Miranda (24)
Single mom/bad boy, forced proximity, inexperienced FMC/playboy MMC. 
It’s kind of weird that this book also had parts that are just about about Dylan and his life.  I honestly didn’t ever get attached to Seth, Miranda, or her kids.  I would’ve preferred everything about Dylan and Aiden be in its own book and keep Seth and Miranda’s story completely separate. (That way I could’ve skipped it easier).
Miranda’s kids are little shits. 
This book wasn’t for me but I can’t wait for the next book!!
There’s 1 Dylan sex scene and like 5 Seth scenes. Nothing special 2🔥.

I listened to the Audiobook. The narrator did a good job because he managed to clearly convey the difference between Seth and Dylan's personalities. I was also able to easily forget there was one person doing the narration.

I couldn't bring myself to like Seth. When I found out about the situation that caused him to make him freak out about Miranda's kids, I had a bit of sympathy for him, but he was only likeable for a small part of the book.

I don't know if I could be with a man who didn't like my kids. Especially if he was around my kids even occasionally. I didn't feel much about the Seth and Miranda part of the book.

On the other hand, I spent most of my time wondering what was going to happen with Dylan and Aidan. I also thought something might happen with Claire and Dylan.

This book had Seth's issues, a number of steamy scenes with Miranda, a few cute scenes with her kids, and a few laughs along with a HEA. It was ok.

I'm glad I was able to listen to it via the Audible Romance subscription.

Definitely liked it more than the first one. The highlight of this book really was Dylan for me and I'm so damn excited for his book next. Love that man and love the trope he's been given OOF

this wrapped up WAY too fast, but i enjoyed the story a lot. seth had a lot of shit in his closet but constantly worked hard to clean that shit up for miranda (and when he messed up you can count on dylan to force that ish). i loved the side story of dylan and aidan, but it felt like it didn't belong. i know the next book is about them & claire and this was def good set up, but maybe another novella would've been better.

These Out of Uniform series makes me feel both naughty and nice! I have yet to be disappointed with any of the characters or plot lines.

Miranda rocked as the female character because her twins were always first and foremost in her mind. Everything that she did, she thought about the consequences so it took her a while to say yes to Seth’s proposal of just being friends with benefits. But she gave and when she did, it was smoking hot.

Seth just wanted Miranda and wanted nothing to do with her twins. At first, I thought he was an absolute jerk for not even trying to be friendly with the twins; they were adorable! But then you realize why he has distanced himself from them and it explains everything, not to mention that it was a heartbreaking reason.

I think that this is why I loved the book in the series. Yes, it was about Seth and Miranda and the sheer hotness that involved them but it also told a back-story into Seth’s past, which allowed the reader to see a whole other side of him. I also loved it because the female character was named Miranda. Does that mean Seth is mine? ☺
