SEAL's Christmas Daughter by Katie Knight and Leslie Knight

Having just read Cowboy's Christmas Heart by Leslie North, I embarked on SEAL's Christmas Daughter thinking it would be very much the same. It wasn't, and not in a bad way; it was just different. 

This is not a book using Christmas as the driving part of the plot; instead we follow retired SEAL Zach as he is working a civvie case, protecting the wife and daughter of a friend of a friend. At the beginning of the story, he literally bumps into a car driven by Marissa, the woman he hasn't seen and cannot get our of his head after a one-night stand ten years ago. 

I liked how Zach is working hard to get to know Marissa and the daughter which was the result of their wild night ten years ago, but still trying to stay professional for the case.  Despite her caution, Marissa supports him in protecting the next door neighbours allowing their relationship to develop. 

The SEAL's Christmas Daughter is written by Katie Knight, but for some reason (publicity stunt?) also marked as written by Leslie North. After having read this book, I believe Katie Knight should be successful in publishing books on her own, without using Leslie North's name; this would also more firmly confirm her own way of writing.

The Pucking Proposal by Lauren Landish

Pre-game rituals must be taken seriously, even when they seem completely outrageous - and indecent!  Hilariously believable.  Hockey trope. Brother's best friend. Playing to win. Pub Date: 18 Feb 2025 Part of Maple Creek series #ThePuckingProposal #NetGalley

Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou

"Den som dödade helvetets änglar by Jan Guillou" - freely translated as " The one who killed the angels in hell". A bit late to reading this, but what a treat!!!  His language is beautiful, the connections to true events and living people are spot on, and the criticism of governments thought-provoking and necessary in a democratic-ish society.  Written in a completely different style to his other Hamilton and Ponti books i loved this one! I’ve already got the next one downloaded and will hopefully be in for another treat.  This book is so far only available in Swedish - unfortunately similar to most of Guillou's fabulous books!
