"Don't Let Go was a great addition to the Seal Team 12 series. It had great characters, a good storyline, and was fast paced and engrossing. It was good to read the story of Solomon McGuire after encountering him as a minor character in the previous book of this series. Solomon Mcguire is a tough, protective Navy Seal who says he doesn't believe in love, but who secretly writes poetry. The heroine, Jordan Bliss, is a loving, compassionate woman whose desire for a child leads her to risk everything. This book had a couple of satisfying romances and plenty of action.
When Solomon Mcguire's SEAL Team forcefully evacuates Jordan Bliss from Venezuela, he refuses to bring along the young boy she is in the process of adopting. Jordan is grief stricken and is filled with bitterness toward McGuire. She is shocked when she receives a poem from him in the mail that reveals his own grief upon losing a child. Solomon McGuire has experienced unrelenting grief ever since his wife disappeared with his beloved infant son. Despite relentless searching, no trace of them has been found. Solomon is stunned to return home from Venezuela and find a letter waiting from the woman who has been lovingly caring for his son for the past two years. After Solomon retrieves his six year old son, Silas, he realizes that he needs some help caring for him and getting him ready to start school. Solomon appeals to Jordan Bliss for help, and although she is still resentful of him, she is unable to deny his son Silas. As Jordan tutors Silas, she is thrown into Solomon's company and is unable to deny a strong attraction to him. Before long, she has forgiven Solomon for his role in the loss of the child she loves, and they begin a relationship that is supposed to be entirely physical for both of them. Jordan quickly realizes that she cares deeply for Solomon, and she dreads his reaction upon finding out that she is returning to Venezuela for her beloved Miguel. Solomon knows that Jordan plans to go back for the boy, but after he tells her that he has found someone to rescue Miguel, he believes that she has put the idea of returning to Venezuela on hold. When Jordan leaves without telling Solomon, he is angry and terrified. He is glad to be part of the team sent to evacuate the remaining U.S. embassy employees, believing that Jordan will be with them. In Venezuela, Jordan encounters danger and doesn't know if she and Miguel will be able to leave safely. Solomon and Jordan must deal with a terribly dangerous situation and then reveal their deep feelings for one another in order to find happiness together. As the story of Solomon and Jordan progresses, we also watch a romance develop between Jordan's sister, Jillian, who is widowed with a third child on the way, and Rafe Valentino, an FBI agent who lost his entire family in one of the previous books.
This was a very enjoyable book, and it was good to hear mention of some of the characters from previous books. I was glad to see happiness finally come to FBI agent Rafe Valentino, a secondary character in this and previous novels. I thought that Solomon and Jordan were both very likeable characters, although Jordan's behavior and determination to return to Venezuela herself seemed irrational upon occasion. She did want to be in Venezuela herself to make certain that Miguel was safely rescued, but mention of her non refundable plane tickets was made often enough that it made me feel she was way overconcerned about not wasting the tickets given the dangerous situation. Her avoidance of Solomon after returning to the U.S. was also annoying. Jordan's caring, compassionate nature made me sympathetic towards her despite the aspects of her character that I did not enjoy. Overall, I liked the way she and Solomon interacted together, and I was rooting for both they and the young boys they loved to come together as a family. I look forward to reading the story of Sean "Harley" Harlan in the next book."
"I was tempted to give only 3 stars based merely on how irritating the heroine was to me but it is a good story and doesn't deserve only 3. I myself have gone through a miscarriage and inability to have children but it hasn't made me TSTL. (At least I hope it hasn't). I'm looking forward to the next in the series."
"There were a couple of emotional scenes in this book and that made up for the lack of action and suspense in the first three quarters of the book. I prefer a balanced proportion of action/suspense and romance so Don't Let Go lost stars because of this. The action takes place only in the last part of the book. Another star was lost because Jordan Bliss' TSTL decision to go to Venezuela in the thick of a coup despite Solomon's warnings and advice. This made the book as a Romantic Suspense weak for me because if Jordan had been sensible right through, there'd be no suspense, no SEAL-team action. Just a contemporary romance which was sweet. The SEAL-team action at the end was great, though."
