| During a comedic bank robbery run by total idiots, Navy SEAL Matt and florist Savanna find themselves face down on the floor enjoying themselves trading sarcastic remarks. After the fuss has died, Matt asks Savanna out only to be shot down. When they meet up again she agrees to a date with him as long as he understands she doesn't do relationships.
Both protagonists are very likable and stay that way throughout the book. Matt's relationship with his friends helps to define his personality as a great guy. His interest in Savanna's business is nice to see. His not-so-smooth behavior around Savanna was funny and added to his personality, as did his nervousness about their first date. Savanna's strength and independence were also refreshing. The sex is steamy, with both protagonists taking the part of leader. Both protagonist present their reasons for wanting short no-strings sexual interactions, which are consistent with the character's personality. The flow of the plot is good, as is the plot itself. This is part of a group of books, each centered around one of the SEAL team and it interested me enough to want to go out and look up the others. It's an enjoyable, straight forward story with some steamy sex. If that's what you are looking, for check it out.
