I was given Code Name: Nina’s Choice for an honest review by Manic Readers

Mace Callahan is very much in-love with Nina Samson and wants to be her guy and the father of her 8 year old little girl. But with every little thing that falls in their path he throws up road blocks and can’t seem to stop himself.

Nina Samson love Mace with everything that she has and when he comes home injured she will do or sacrifice anything to make him better. Even recruit his best friend to make IT happen, including letting him go to another woman. But just when things start working and the world is going in the right direction a blast from her past threatens her future with Mace and the life of her daughter. I would not blame her for giving up and counting her losses but her determination, courage and love keep her fighting the good fight for their future.

I am really glad that Mace finally pulled his head out of his ass and got it together because for a while there I thought that the lying baby daddy was going to do something stupid, oh wait he did do something stupid only to get his sorry butt kicked.

I love everything from the back story to the steamy bedroom scenes and as I have already ready Code Name: Luminous I was really glad to see how Tony and Lumin met. Most of all I really love the authenticity of the characters that makes them seem so life like, Natasza put a lot of detail into everyone of her characters, you can just tell she put a lot of thought into them.

I am so reading the other books in A Warrior’s Challenge series, Natasza is an amazing writing. I told my Navy daughter, who is stationed in Coronado that about this series and how it portrayed Naval men as horn-dogs and she said that it was true they were and I about dies laughing before reminding her to be safe.

I was given Code Name: Luminous for an honest review by Natasza Waters

Lumin wakes up next to a dead man that she was trying to help and now she is in trouble and her only hope is a Navy SEAL she met back in December. He left a major impression on her and she has thought of him often but never expected to see him again.

Tony likes his love them and leave them life style but since December he has only really ever thought of Lumin. Now she is in trouble and he will do what it takes to save her but he isn’t ready to lose his heart. Yeah Right!!

This story has really hit a cord in my heart, my youngest daughter is in the Navy, so it has hit close to home in some ways. I don’t know how much research Natasza did to make her book plausible from the military standpoint but it kept me riveted to each page. I loved the characters especially Kayla and her “are you really gonna give me that bullshit” attitude that I could see in my head when she and the Admiral were discussing things and I could almost see her trying to hide a smirk the whole time to. I could feel Tony’s confusion when it came to Lumin and his guilt when he screwed up and she would run away from him. If it weren’t for the fact that I could really sense Lumin’s genuine desire the do right I would have thought she was being manipulative and I would have been wrong.

There wasn’t much in the bedroom department but what there was, was somewhere between sweet and oh yeah baby! I think my favorite one was when they were on the phone together and imagining they were together, holy moly.

I also want to thank you Natasza for giving me an edited copy of Code Name: Luminous, it makes the story so much better when I don’t have to try and figure out what a paragraph is about and how it fits or what the missing word in a sentence is so that being said, THANK YOU.
I look forward to reading more.
