#BookReview: Play Dirty (Tempting SEALs: Triton #1) by Lora Leigh @lexilikestoread @LoraLeigh_1@torbooks

Synopsis: Fifty Shades of Grey meets hard-bodied ex-Navy SEALs in this red-hot, suspenseful friends-to-lovers, girl-next-door romance from #1 New York Times bestselling author, Lora Leigh.

She saved his life when they were kids and then he saved hers. When she became a young woman, Poppy knew she would never love anyone the way she loved Jack Lee Bridger.

But after a near tragedy, Jack left home to become a Navy SEAL and Poppy knew there wouldn't be another like him. Not for her.

She remembered the way it felt when he looked at her with those smoldering eyes.

The way he kissed her.

Touched her...

Now it's years later and danger is dogging her footsteps and Jack is back.

And Poppy knows that he will do anything--absolutely anything--to keep her safe. She trusts him to protect her body, but can she trust him with heart?

My Review: A thriller with a sci-fi twist and a hint of ex-military flavor. Throughout the book, I kept wondering when the AI was going to make its grand entrance? Mostly, it's this mix of small-town life and ex-military romance.

Towards the end, there it is—the AI is introduced. I like how it was woven in, especially in the epilogue, but honestly, I was hoping for more AI throughout.

Here's hoping the next book dives deeper into the AI now that we've already gotten to know the characters... Well, except for maybe Jack's team—they could use some more backstory.

I loved the main characters, but some of the spice dialogue was a bit cringy.

Despite those hiccups, I'm excited for the next one coming out later this year. Can't wait to see what's next!
