A SEAL’s Surrender by Tawny Weber: Good-girl-next-door Eden Gillespie has had a crush on her neighbor Cade Sullivan since she was a preteen and he was deemed the 
hottest guy in town. His romantic trysts were legendary yet casual and the exclusive group of girls he romanced were dubbed the “Cade-ettes”. Eden’s clumsiness always put her in a situation where Cade could sweep in and rescue her…thus painting him as a hero in her mind.
Cade has always had one goal in mind: joining the Navy and becoming a member of the SEAL’s elite. He made that dream a reality and became a Lieutenant Commander. Shortly after losing one of his best friends during a mission Cade commanded, he is summoned home when his father has a heart attack and he is faced with the job of collecting on a loan Eden’s mother received from the Sullivans.
When Cade rescues Eden yet again upon his return to town, they find their mutual attraction has grown significantly over the years to the point of being electric. The town gossips gush over seeing them out for drinks together and it helps to boost Eden’s veterinary practice and her social credibility. But she craves more than that. She wants to seduce Cade and show him that she is more than the klutzy neighbor he has rescued for
years.
I love a good “friends to lovers” story and A SEAL’s Surrender is just that. There is something very satisfying seeing such a relationship grow and knowing that it is a fantasy come to life for those involved. Cade and Eden brought out the best in each others character and that made it possible for them to overcome the dilemmas they were faced with. This is one of those stories where you root for the characters to have a HEA from
the very beginning and can’t stop reading until you find out if they do.
