3.5-4 Stars I did not expect to enjoy this at all except for maybe the hot men. I am not a fan of military/cop/weapon type stories. This was grabbed me by the neck and dragged me into a story I couldn't put down. I was looking for the clichés, woman does not listen to warnings gets taken away, man doesn't listen to woman gets shot, or the usually stupid woman makes stupid choice puts all in danger just because she's angry... you know it's how 95% of stories go. I was reading and seeing trouble coming and wait what was that and intelligent choice ??? "NO WAY" These characters did not follow the set rules of most other series they used their brains. Yes, brains and even, are you sitting down ?.....common sense. Not once was I holding back a scream of 'OH, come on idiot !' LOL The macho-++ is there these guys are Navy Seals and they do go over board a bit, but nothing more than you'd expect from real live Seals. There is also a nice little touch of humor to balance some tough scenes.
So- It was action jackson with lusty, sexy scenes and real life drama that entranced me into a world I rarely show interest in. I am reading the next book.

Wasn’t a fan of the heroine’s many, many rambling inner monologues that reinforced to herself why staying away from the hero was a good thing, even though she was repeatedly projecting other people’s actions and situations onto him. I know this happens often in these books, but it bothered me more in this one for some reason. I think it has to do with the fact that I had already found something lacking in the writing. Maybe that’s what I get for going from a Devney Perry book and jumping right into this one.

Book one of Red-Hot Seals series by Trish McCallan.
Beth wakes up after having a nightmare but when she gets out of bed and on her way to work her nightmare becomes reality.
Zane is a physic Seal and has visions of his friends dying.
Beth then meets Zane and try's to get the plane grounded.
I really enjoyed this book but not as much hot and steamy moments between Hh as I was expecting but was a great story and mystery with the high-jackers.
My only complaint is at the end it just finished with a lot not sorted so I did feel disappointed that there was no epilogue to tidy up the end.

This book was good. Zane can pick up certain bits of the future but he doesn't know exact details. Beth has been having the same dream for the past 3 nights that the plane to Hawaii will be hijacked. Things in Beth's dream start to come true and in the end she ends up finding Zane to tell him and his Seal buddies what is happening. Grounding the plane sets off a chain of events that lead to a story with a lot of suspense.
I'm looking forward to the other characters especially Mac and Amy that will be fun to read.

My Rating: 3.5 out of 5 *
Hotness Rating: 3 out of 5 <3
Although this had an interesting promise, I felt the story could have been better. The writing was good, the storyline was good as well, but it seemed like more could have been done to flesh it out. The couple was great together, but there was something missing between them as well, something that would have made their connection so much better than what it was. Overall, though, it was a good story.
Zane was a great hero and one I really felt captured by. From the beginning, it is clear that he is my type of SEAL--dark, brooding, in command, and oh-so-sexy. His ability only adds to his attractiveness. I mean, who wouldn't want to see those muscles tense the way they do. He was alpha without being overly so. He knew what he could and couldn't control and didn't go above and beyond to try and reign in what he couldn't. He was incredibly protective and caring, and did everything to the very best he could. He seemed a little too shy, however, when it came to the aspect of his gift. The polar opposite of his normal personality did not fit with who he was. It was just strange and off-kilter. But otherwise, he was very well-made.
Beth made a good heroine, and I believed her reactions to the situations she was thrown into, but at times she seemed too accepting or too resistant. There was no happy medium, it was just straight up 'yay' or 'nay'. She liked having a humdrum life that was predictable, which I'm glad didn't end up happening cause that would have made a boring story. She was very smart and always wanted to do things the right or practical way. Very quick on her feet, she proved to be an asset to Zane and his team a few times. Although her adamant refusal of what was between her and Zane got really old really fast, then POOF she accepted it like nothing, was just...no. I don't buy it.
Overall this was a good book. I just wished the main couple connected a little better than they did. Good story line. Enjoyable characters--except for one rotton SOB that I personally wanted to shoot in the head…multiple times, because of his twisted view on women--which is part of why I gave it the rating I did. It was well enough written that I may pick up the next to the series. Good start.

Before I write this review, I have to make sure I'm firmly seated on the entire sitting surface of my chair. Why you ask? Because I've been sitting on the edge of my seat since I started this book and have only now recovered enough of my wits to realize I should sit back. This is on hell of a kick ass ride...so, in the words of Samuel L. Jackson, hold onto your butts!
Beth Brown has a dream last night. It was disturbing, terrifying, bizarre and something that she was going to completely write off, until two of the events in her dream came true first this that morning. If those came true, perhaps the massacre of the coach passengers on the PanAtlantic flight to Hawaii will come true as well. When she gets to the gate, she begins recognizing the passengers she saw in her dream. The dead passengers with multiple bullet holes and blood covering them...except now they were very much alive. Beth finds the one man she thinks might be able to help her, as she remembers the men with him calling his Lieutenant or boss, Zane Winters. She builds up the courage to approach him and his two friends, hoping they will believe her enough to help her stop the plane for taking off.
Lieutenant Commander Zane Winters, Lieutenant Cosky and Lieutenant Rawls, members of SEAL Team 7 (ST7), were heading to a colleague's wedding in Hawaii when Zane had one of his freaky premonitions after being touched by Rawls. He sees his buddy dead, riddled with bullet holes. And it's not just Rawls he sees dead. When Cosky touches him, he sees the same thing. Edgy, especially after realizing that both are wearing the same clothes he saw them dead in, Zane tries to figure out how they can get the plane grounded and investigate what might be going on. While scanning the crowd of awaiting passengers in the gate area, Zane locks gazes with a woman who he knows, down to his bones, is his soul mate. Determined not to be derailed while trying to figure out what's happening with the plane, he ignores her. But fate has bigger plans and avoiding her becomes impossible when she approaches them and tells them about her dream.
Beth, Zane, Cosky and Rawls soon find themselves embroiled in a terrorists groups plot to hijack the plane, massacre the coach passenger and ransom off the first class passengers...strikingly similar to a hijacking that happened in Argentina. The only problem is, they aren't sure who's involved and it seems like the terrorist group has infiltrated the FBI, PanAtlantic, the local police and other high ranking areas of the government.
For Zane, it comes down to who to trust and how to make sure Beth is kept safe so he can prove to her, later, that they were meant to be together. For Beth, she needs to save her best friend and godson from their terrorist kidnappers all while trying to keep her distance from the one man that gets beneath her skin.
Phew! Just from that I need to push myself back on my seat. This is a complete edge of your seat page turner. You won't be able to put it down. It was well written with characters that had me running the gamut of emotions, I was spent when you finished reading it.
I loved our SEAL team, loved their OIC Mac (even though he did come off as a complete ass...you just know there is a juicy story there), loved Beth and how for someone who sometime came off as timid she was all in that SEAL team's face when needed. I felt sorry for FBI SA Chastain, Amy, Ginny and Todd to have gotten caught up in something that truly was beyond them. Their situations had you wondering if you wouldn't have done the exact same thing in an effort to protect your family. I hated Russ Branson, hated the crew who secure "the house" (Chino got what he freaking deserved!) and absolutely loathe whoever is leading the terrorist group.
My only disappointment in the book, the abrupt ending. I was flipping pages on my kindle wondering if I was missing pages because it just seemed to stop. Talk about a cliffhanger!!!
This book is worse every cent, (nickel, dime, and quarter too). It's a fast paced, nail biting, adrenaline ride that leaves you wanting so much more!
