Navy SEAL Noah Coleman knows how to do two things well: underwater demolition and hand-to-hand combat. So renewing his enlistment is a no-brainer until he receives a message about his cousin’s aggressive terminal cancer. A quick trip home confirms the worst, which means his niece Bella will become his responsibility.


Elementary school guidance counselor Teagan Shaw has known Bella since her son announced the two were best friends. The shy little girl is also on Teagan’s radar because of Bella’s early signs of gifted aptitude. But Teagan is more concerned about the military man thrust into the role of single parent.

Get your hands on NOAH now:



Noah drew in a slow breath, searching for the right words. But they didn’t come. Who knew what those were supposed to be when they’d gone through the heartache that had pitched them together.

“Teagan.” He pressed them forward until her back met the cedar wood wall. “I have no idea what I’m doing.”

Her chin tilted up, her lips parting with tiny breaths he wanted to capture with a kiss.

“And that’s foreign to me.” He towered over her, but he gave her enough space that she could roll away, plenty of room so he could take in more than just her face. But she smelled like flowers. Not sweet but strong and wild. Noah ducked his cheek to hers, brushing his lips close to her ear.

Her palms smoothed the front of his Henley. Not pushing away, not grabbing for more.

Together they were back at the same line as in the kitchen earlier. The one they’d both eased away from. But this time they toed the line, savoring and wondering, testing whether the Do Not Cross was a figment of their imagination, a simple cautionary tale that they’d concocted for no good reason, or if hormones and arousal were calling the shots.

Teagan slid her cheek against his mouth, and he stifled a groan.

“Neither do I,” she whispered. “No clue.”

He chuckled quietly, leaning his weight against her. “It’d be easier if one of us knew.”

Pressed between them, her fingernails scratched down his stomach, and he nuzzled his nose against her neck, breathing against her skin and memorizing how she smelled. Teagan’s soft murmurs made the hairs on the back of his neck stand, and he let his lips drift to her cheek.

“I’m going to kiss you on one condition,” he whispered.

“What’s that?” Teagan’s breathlessness made his heart pound harder.

He let the rush roll through him then teased her lips with his, not making contact, keeping them a breath apart. “That neither of us will be sorry.”

“Promise.” Teagan’s fingers tightened against his chest. “I won’t be.”


4.5 Stars 

I'm a huge fan of Cristin's previous titles and this one is somewhat different.  Although i'd class it a romantic-suspense, it's missing the action and intrigue, that I've come to love in her unique plots.  Although in saying that it is still a thoroughly entertaining and engaging book. 

This is a story of family, former Navy SEAL Noah returns to the town of his upbringing to raise his cousin's orphaned five year old daughter Bella. 

Bella is adorable, tenacious, precocious and incredibly intelligent.  With Bella comes her best friend Will and his mother Teagan, the school counselor and Noah's confidant and source of advice in all things child rearing. 

Noah is used to being prepared and planning for every eventuality and he's like a fish out of water when it comes to the daily routine and habits of a young child. 

Teagan is his saving grace, smart, caring, funny and independent, from friendship, and an initial attraction a deep and intense connection forms.  The sexual tension and chemistry between this pair just oozes off the page. 

If you enjoy a sweet, fun, feel good story with a touch of suspense then look no further than Noah. 


Although Noah is part of the Seven Brides, for Seven Soldiers it can easily be read as a standalone.
