Shielded by the Cowboy SEAL

•Rescued Meg has finally escaped her abusive husband with the help of her friend Lacey and her husband thanks to their SOS Agency. They've also arranged for a safe place and protection until she can find the documentation she needs to put her soon to be ex-husband in prison. Meg knows she's on her own (except for her little dog Sophie that doesn't like men), she doesn't trust anyone, and she doesn't want to put anyone else in danger. While home on leave helping his mother, Coop a Navy SEAL is asked by his former squad leader to protect a woman and her ferocious dog, who is in trouble. Jarrett wouldn't give him any additional information about Meg other than he needed to train her dog. Coop would do anything for Jarrett, but family comes first. This is a very touching romantic suspense story that covers some strong issues. Physical abuse, death of family members, dangers of mafia, death of police that should've been protected, Navy SEALS, SOS underground railroad that promises safe shelter and help to start over from their abused spouse, but ends with a HEA. This was my first SOS Agency story, but it won't be my last. I was enthralled from the very beginning, I had to find out what happened next. Although this was the 2nd book in the series, I didn't feel as though I missed anything. However I'm sure I did. I do plan to go read the first book, I cannot wait to see what Bonnie comes out with next for the SOS Agency series. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book via Tasty Book Tours through NetGalley in exchange for an honest blog tour review. Due to adult situations, this book is recommended for readers 16 and older. Favorite Passage ~ New dreams, for dreams were countless as the stars. Life wasn’t an absolute. It was wonderfully gray and purple and blue and pink and all the colors in between.

Shielded by the Cowboy SEAL by Bonnie Vanak is book number two in the SOS Agency series. This is Navy SEAL Cooper Johnson and Meg Taylor's story. Cooper is on leave to help his mother with the family farm. Also, it has only been six months since his sister was killed in the line of duty as a cop due to a defective bulletproof vest. He is determined to find who is responsible for the defective vest. Family comes before anyone or anything else. Meg needs a safe place to get away from her abusive husband. Cooper agrees to keep Meg safe at his family farm. There is definitely chemistry between them but neither or in a positon for a relationship. There are things from Meg's past that she hasn't shared with Cooper because she doesn't know who she can trust. How will Cooper react when he learns what Meg has been keeping from him? This story has it all! A Navy Seal and he is also a cowboy plus you get suspense, passion, danger, and dealing wih emotional issues. I loved Cooper and Meg's story. FYI, includes mature content. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
