Justin always wanted to be more than a country farm boy. Being a Navy SEAL turned him into a man, but one without a life outside the military. He believed that was all he needed until the rest of his team found their happily ever afters. All it takes is one simple letter from home to remind Justin about the missing piece in his life - love. Now all he needs is to find the courage to reach out and take hold of it.
Becca lost the love of her life before he could meet their child. She tries to move on with her life, to find a new sense of normalcy with her daughter, but nothing seems to work until a simple holiday act of kindness sends her carefully choreographed life into a tailspin. Becca never would have guessed that writing a simple letter to a deployed sailor would bring her to a place she could finally call ‘Home’ again.
From Dyslexic kid with a love of Algebra to a published author, no one is more surprised to find me here, than I am. I love to write about tortured pasts and hot sex, a happily ever after that has to be worked for. My stories tend to be a little dark but with some comic relief, typically in the form of sarcasm.

I know that I shouldn’t be surprised anymore by this series. Each story has been a sultry mix of the unexpected and this one took even another turn. A sweet, sweet twist… Justin is deployed and feeling alone even amongst the men he calls brothers. Even when he is home now he feels out of step with his close family and friends who have all paired (or tripled) into families of their own. Becca’s letters not only helped his loneliness but made him hope for love of his own… Becca and her beautiful daughter were going it alone. No family and no friends (yet) as they relocated for a new start. Becca was strong and determined to give her daughter everything she could… Love for herself hadn’t been in the game plan…
Finding love online, or in this case the old-fashioned way of pen-palling, was a step back in time to a slower pace of romance. Their relationship built over time, every new letter a step towards something more. With the band of SEALs and their fun, delightfully wacky women behind them, and Becca’s delightful daughter as matchmakers, these two were going to have every opportunity to get it right….
An epilogue that was perfect – and bittersweet (as I think this is it for this series) – this series will be one of my ‘lift me up and make me smile’ re-reads!
Justin, a Navy SEAL who never thought he’d settle down meets Becca, a single mom who has already had her heart crushed by the military one time, in a pretty unconventional way. A pen pal service. These 2 feel an immediate connection and have an excellent opportunity for their relationship to grow through the course of his deployment.
Nice, easy to read story. First one I’ve read in the series, so it can definitely be read as a stand alone, and I’m thinking about going back and reading the others.
This story is book 5 in the SEAL'ed series and the final book. We get to see Justin or LT get his HEA.
Becca is a single mother of a 3 yr old little girl named Olivia. She lost her husband, a marine to the war. He didn't even know about Olivia yet. This young and strong woman created an incredible life for herself and her daughter. She made Olivia a priority and did everything she could to give Olivia everything. LT is on another deployment with his team of trained Navy SEALs, all the guys in his team have paired up, found their women, and started families. He no longer feels like a part of the team. After his sister, Emma encourages him to sign up for a penpal he quickly learns how ready he is for things in his life to change. His once perfect plan no longer fulfills him. But a chance letter between two strangers changes both of their lives.
I loved this sweet story and felt like it was the perfect ending to a great series.
I'm not ready, y'all. This can't be the end. Can I throw myself on the ground like my 15 month old son and flail my arms around to get these two amazing authors to write me more Seal'ed stories? No? Worth a shot. If you're just now hearing about the Seal'ed series by Andi and AJ, you need to get started with the series RIGHT THIS SECOND. Book one is called Honor and you need it in your life immediately. For those of you who have read the previous 4 installments along with me, I'm sure you're in denial too. But here it is. The 5th and final book. Justin and Becca's story. And it's absolutely breathtaking.
Story Line: Justin joined the Navy to basically make his daddy proud - to learn how to be a man and all that macho stuff. And now that his life revolves around that life, he's realizing he wants more than just a career. His fellow SEAL's have found their happily ever afters and the reality of his loneliness has become impossible to ignore. Becca is a single mom who lost her husband who was active military at the time. She experienced every military wife's worst nightmare come to life. The dreaded knock on the door. God, this scene gutted me. I cannot imagine the pain Becca experienced. And she had to keep her head on straight because she was pregnant with their daughter. So. Many. Feels.
Oh right, you're wondering how their stories intertwine. Well, Becca decides to join her coworkers and write a letter to an active military person. Who does that letter end up going to? Justin. So, their love story starts from afar. And honestly, I didn't know how I would feel about this, but OMG there's something to be said about love letters. The way Justin and Becca's feelings developed so organically through their words was captivating. I hung on to their every word and fell in love right along side them.
Interaction: Since so much of Becca and Justin's relationship is through their written words, that's how much of their interaction is done. The words - written, typed and spoken are flawless in every way. Even from the very first letter, the affection and respect for one another was felt deep in my heart. And then as the letters progressed and continued, their lust and desire blossomed into something so beautiful. But my favorite interaction of all? Justin and Olivia (Becca's daughter). There is seriously something so sexy about a guy who is good with kids. And Justin? He is freaking adorable with her. I swooned HARD for him every time he interacted with or did something for the sweet little girl.
Laundry: So, you're probably wondering how this book had naughty goodness if the relationship begins through love letters. Oh, honey. The A team has got your back. Justin and Becca both have some seriously spicy scenes that will leave your finger tips buzzing. Seriously, there's a particular scene especially that left me fanning myself. It was THAT hot. And a relationship that starts off like their does, there's going to be a whole lot of sexual tension that needs to be burned off. And oh mama, does it ever.
Depth: There's so much more to each Seal'ed book than a love story. With Justin it's finding a place to call home outside of the Navy. And for Becca it's learning to open herself up to the possibility of love for a second time in her life. The way they met and fell in love is non-traditional but I think that's what makes their story so incredible. Because against all odds, they found each other. And not only did they fall in love with each other, but they formed a family with Olivia.
My second favorite part of Faith? All of the previous characters from the series. I don't think I'll ever get enough of Avery. Seriously. She's so snarky and sassy and everything I want to be when I grow up. And Becca handles her with such grace. I love it. Who am I kidding? I love all of these characters so freaking much. Each leading lady is perfectly flawed and flawlessly written. And their men? Everything I ever wanted. These couples are unlike any you've ever read before, and that uniqueness alone is enough to set them above the rest. But don't take my word for it. READ THIS SERIES. You will ADORE them just as much as me.
Oh, and that epilogue? SO. MANY. HAPPY. TEARS. The BEST epilogue I've ever read. Hands down.
I have been a fan of this series since book 1 and this book definitely did not disappoint! While this book would probably be okay to read on it's own I highly recommend reading each of these stories in order to get the full effect of who these characters are. This series follows the same SEAL team and each book builds off of what happened in the last one.
In this book, we finally get Justin's story. He is the head of the SEAL team and the brother of one of the characters we get to know in an earlier book. Because of this, we get to know a little bit about him from the first stories, but he really was still a mystery to me.
I loved how this story took place mostly through long distance between the characters, It was a different way of showing the chemistry between them when they haven't even met in real life. Becca was a strong character and I thought she was perfect to fit in with the other SEAL wives for sure.
This book had me on edge wondering what exactly was going to happen between these characters. There were several moments that I wanted to shake some sense into Becca because Justin was just so amazing. Getting to know what was going on with all of the other characters I love from this series is also a huge plus. This one picks up only a few months after book 4 ends and flows very well.
I can not wait to find out who gets their story next! I know I am not ready to let this series be done so hopefully the author has another book in the works soon!- By Alisa
Faith is the 5th and final book the SEAL’ed series and I don’t think I am ready to say goodbye to this crazy bunch that I have grown to love. I am so happy that LT aka Justin finally got his story! Justin and the rest of the guys are back in the desert and away from their wives and children. Emma encourages Justin to sign up for a pen pal so he can receive letters while away. Little did he know it would change his life.
Becca is a marine widow, a single mother to her 3-year-old daughter, Olivia, whose father never got the chance to know about her existence before he died. Becca will do anything to protect her daughter and make sure she is happy. When she sends a letter to a soldier who is deployed, she doesn’t expect it to turn into so much more.
I absolutely love Becca and Justin, but it is little Livie who really stole the story. She is so adorable, sweet and instantly connects with everyone. The little girl instantly bonded with the entire group and they all fell in love with her.
I love Becca and Justin’s relationship and their letters/e-mails were sweet and you can see the bond forming between the two. They both felt like outcasts and found comfort, friendship and love with one another.
I was also kind of hoping we could all be friends. I have a good feeling about her. – Emma.
Becca’s friendship with the girls may be my favorite thing, though. She instantly was accepted by Emma, Katie, Avery and Amber.
I can tell this is going to be the start of a beautiful friendship and the need for a lot of bail money.
I love how much Amber and Avery take to Becca and how much Becca connects with them. Those girls are in their own world and I love them. They bring the comedy to this series!
This story was the perfect ending to the series, though I am sad it is over. I absolutely loved every single book and falling in love with every single character. I love that the crew was able to find their own happily ever afters.
When I decided to start reading Faith I was only planning to read the first chapter before I go to sleep. However that one chapter quickly turned to fifty percent of the book before I finished the whole story before I went to sleep. The story was a incredible easy read with the way that the authors writing flowed all the way through the story. I really enjoyed the slow development of feelings between Becca and Jaxon.
Becca was a strong female character that did whatever she had to for her daughter. She faced a massive lost in her life and it was evident she was doing he best to move on from her lost. I loved the way that she wanted to brighten up a soldiers life by sending them a written letter saying how thankful she was for their service. I found that to be very generous and showed the kindness of this character.
Jaxon was a hot soldier that was incredible sweet with the way that he responds to Becca's letters and the way that he makes a connection with Becca's daughter as well. I really loved seeing the relationship he has with his sister of his men.
I really loved the development of the relationship between Becca and Jaxon as well as the secondary characters within the book. I found the secondary character brought a lot of humour within the story that made it to be an enjoyable read.
Faith by Andi Jaxon ans AJ Alexander is book five in the authors SEAL'ed series. Faith can be read a s a standalone. For better understanding I recommend to read the books in order. The previous books are Honor, Love, Fate and Power. Justin is the last single one of the Navy SEAL team. ASll his friends found their HEA and are happy. He's the lonely man out. When he gets a pen apl and the write each other letters something changes for him. He learns to appreciate and love another being without ever being one time face to face. Becca is a widow who lost the love of her life to war. bShe's a siingle mom and works hard to make ends meet. When she finds a new daycare for her daughter her life is about to change for the better - only she doesn't knows it, yet. And to top it off, she's Justin's pen pal. Yes she likes the Marine,but she's afraid to love and lose again. She closes her heart off.
Faith is a sweet heartwarming story and an adorable sidekick. Boitgh are goosd people. I like dthe story and the writing. I like dmeeting the couples from previous books and I like dthe amount of drama and danger, alongside the beautiful lovestory. I give 4,5 stars.
This is the last installment of the SEAL’ed Series and we finally get Justin’s story. LT is the leader for the group of SEAL’ed misfits. Everyone is finally settling down and finding their forevers. Justin is lonely so at the persistence of his sister Emma he signs up for a Pen Pal. Never guessing that his entire world will change with a few hand written letters.
Becca knows what it’s like to lose something and what’s its like to set out and to find herself instead of being the single Mom and widow that everyone treats her as. While in California her department at the hospital decides they will write letters to the active military. She’s finding her way and is a bit lonely. Her world begins to change once her and Justin start writing to each other.
This is a story of finding love when you least expect to. A story of letting love in even though you know the heartache. And letting yourself become the man and woman you wanted to become.
I’ll sure miss these boys and their girls. It was a great series and one I’d recommend.
~Andrea B~ Reviewer for Everything Marie Book Blog
* I was given an advanced copy of this book by the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review. *
I was expecting more from this book. Don't get me wrong, it was a nice sweet read, but I expected more adventure,suspense, fun from it. Becca lost her husband right after she found out she was pregnant. Justin never expected to find someone to spend his life with. The two become pen pals and next thing you know they're in love. But she fears losing someone she loves again and she doesn't want her daughter to experience that kind of heartbreak either. Can Justin win her over?
I thought there would be some kind of big thing. You know, like the girl gets kidnapped and he has to save her. Or he gets injured in the line of duty and she has to decide whether she can really handle being a military wife again. But that never happened. They have Christmas then it's three years later. Is he still in the military? Did she deal with her fears? It just seemed to end abruptly.
I did however love the birthday party. Seeing those guys dressed in tutu's, crowns and wings was hysterical. I love Olivia and her obsession with Batman. She is such a cute little girl and she has Justin wrapped around her little finger. Good luck when she becomes a teenager.
Can I just live with all these characters in the series forever? Pretty please? Since the very first book Andi Jaxon and AJ Alexander have kept me hooked to all these delicious SEALs and their sassy, hilarious, and loving women. Every book is something different and more than once I found myself falling in love with things I never thought I would. Faith, however, I knew I would love. Always a sucker for a single parent romance I was downright giddy over this book! Becca and Justin may live very different lives on the outside, but they have more in common than either of them could have ever predicted. Two lonely people longing for a deeper connection and finding that connection in a way they never saw coming. I didn’t even notice how much of them falling in love wasn’t even face to face. I was so wrapped up in how perfect these two were and their love is just that big that it didn’t even dawn on me until after I’d finish. The way they are together is just so sweet I couldn’t get enough of them!
An enjoyable read, but seemed to end quite abruptly, I was expecting more. After being pen pals Becca ( a single mom) and justin (a navy seal) eventually admit to their feelings for each other then bang its the epilogue. I was expecting the story to continue a bit more, them meeting properly for the first time, the relationship between them how Becca coped with him being in the Navy after she lost the first love of her life to the forces. Justin interacting with Beccas young daughter, being her batman etc
What a great story.. I have not read the other books in the series but now I can't wait to read them. While this can be a stand alone the other characters are very much in the book and their stories were told .
Justin is overseas and the only one of the team that doesn't have anyone back home waiting for him. His sister finally gets him to sign up for a penpal
Becca has been through heartache and her one bright spot is her adorable litter girl and just wants to make a soldiers day so she signs up to be a penpal. As they start exchanging letters they start to develop a friendship unknown to each other that they have mutual people in their lives.
As time goes on and feelings get deeper will Becca be able to put her heartache behind and love again?
I really liked the book, but I had one problem and I don't think it was tiny enough for me to just let it go. Justin and Becca are just emailing/mailing/whatever each other for 99% of the book. Justin is deployed and they don't have a physical meet up until very late in the book and I didn't like that. I wanted to see Batman and Robin together, just getting familiar with each other. Robin is Becca's daughter and Batman is Justin. I get that Robin saw Batman for the first time and fell in love with him via skype, but I wanted to see them going for a walk in the park or sharing an ice cream for example. I was really liking the story and how Becca was slowly becoming one of the gank without it been forced because she was dating Justin. Avery was back to her normal self in this book and reminded me why I liked her which is an improvement from everything that happened in book 4. I would have loved an extended epilogue where we get to see all the couples, but we are going to get in the box set which will be released in Feb 2019, so it's something. I am removing a whole star because I wanted more one to one interaction in the book, but otherwise, the story was good and a good finale to series, since we saw all the couples and babies from the previous books.
Justin’s story is the next installment in the Seal’ed series. It finds us learning about our favorite guys LT on the Seal team who also happens to be Emma’s brother. Justin gets convinced by Emma to sign up for a pen pal. He gets paired with Becca who is a military widow. Serendipity happens when Becca and Justin find out they have a lot more in common than just being pen pals. I really wanted to see in the book the moment they meet face to face after his deployment. I wanted to see what happens when they first touch physical and have their first kiss. I wanted to see Batman meet his Robin. With the way this book is written it didn’t happen however we jump to a couple of years down the road to see where they are. I enjoyed the book but that was the only thing missing for me.
Justin, a Navy SEAL who never thought he’d settle down meets Becca, a single mom who has already had her heart crushed by the military one time, in a pretty unconventional way. A pen pal service. These 2 feel an immediate connection and have an excellent opportunity for their relationship to grow through the course of his deployment.
Nice, easy to read story. First one I’ve read in the series, so it can definitely be read as a stand alone, and I’m thinking about going back and reading the others.
Great story! This was my first book by this author and I enjoyed it very much. I loved how their friendship grew from their correspondence. Like they found something in each other that neither of them expected.
I started this book before work the other morning, and squeezed it in during every moment of the day until I finished it that same night. I loved everything about it and I would say it fits into the slow burning, sweeter, heart-warming side of the military genre.
Lieutenant Justin McMillion is the last single man standing of his friends and Seal Team. Throughout the series, he has seen his boys team up, and see first-hand how wonderful it is to have that significant other holding the other half of your heart. He knows he’s withdrawing from them, but the loneliness is taking its toll. His sister Emma can see this, and very regularly sends him information on the military pen pal program. I absolutely have visions of David Boreanaz as the leader of his seal team unit while I’m reading this book, and oh my, he’s playing the part v-e-r-y well.
Becca already has paid a military price, losing her husband before she could even tell him about the baby girl on the way, so for the last three years, her daughter has been the centre of her world. The team she works with at the hospital decide to sign up to the military pen pal program. Her daughter has recently started at a new day-care, and the irony is, she is the sister of her new pen pal. Livie is the life of the book!! Andi J and AJ have together created a precocious and lively three year old girl, and her toddler chat is up there as the best I’ve seen written. I absolutely adored her.
Justin and Becca were written as two really great people who were drifting through life, each doing the best at what they did with their jobs and family, but lacking that spark that ignites a passion in life when you have someone to share it with. Until they sign up for the military pen pal program. Who knew that letter writing was making a romantic comeback!
What I loved most, is the endearing way that Livie tried to tell Becca what her Daddy had been saying to her. It broke my heart, that even though he’d died before she was born, Trent was still looking out for them both.
If you love the military romance genre, and are looking for something lower on the angst scale but is full of heart, soul and romance, then this book is for you. 4.5 Stars.
Faith is book 5 in the SEAL’ed series and sadly the last in the series. I’m going to miss this band of SEALS, the twin tornadoes and the other girls in this family of friends. You truly look at life differently and won’t take Honor, Love, Fate, Power or Faith for granted so easily as we people tend to do in life. We are given life that can be taken from us in a blink of the eye. Each story is different in the series, but you see how the SEALS grow on tour and with their HEAs. We all wanted Justin to get a story and then wasn’t his time to find love. Ironically the prior titles of each book spoke in Justin and Becca’s story. Who knew that a simple letter to put a smile on a deployed alpha man would show us just how powerful Fate can be? Justin and Becca have never met and begin writing letters to each other while he’s deployed. They never expected to share a bond and become friends. Can Batman and Robin help show Justin and Becca that they can have true happiness? You will only get this if you read the book. It’s quite heart melting! Becca lost the love of her life to the military once and is now a single parent. She’s independent and chooses a brave move to better herself and daughters’ life. You can only be the widowed person so long and staying in that small town would have crippled the brightness in their world. Moving to CA was Faith’s way of helping her heal as well as Fate’s way of circling her friends around the military and Justin. You will laugh, cry and cheer on this crazy band of family, but I have to say Papa’s actions are still hilariously and Liv (Becca’s daughter) has everyone wrapped around those fingers. That ending with Liv’s party is awesome and unbelievable at the same time (all in a good way thought). I’m holding out hope that while this is the end of the series that as the next generation grows older that we get their stories and see how the original clan of SEAL’ed brothers are doing.
When Justin aka JT made his appearances in the previous books, he pretty much kept to himself. I was so excited to read his story, and let me tell you that the book didn't disappoint! This is definitely my favorite one in the SEAL'ed series!
Becca and Justin get to know each other through a pen pal program for soldiers that are overseas. He's randomly peaked for her, even though fate definitely has its hand on this one!
Becca is a single mother, that lost her husband in the war after she found out that she was pregnant. After that she decided to move from Texas to California, in order to find herself and again and learn how to survive on her own. Her daughter, Olivia, is the sweetest kid! I loved her from the first time she made her appearance in the story! She made me laugh in more than one occasions and managed to still the hearts of everyone that get to know her!
Justin is finding difficult to live with his loneliness anymore. After each of the others found their significant other, he feels even more alone than before. Becca's first letter comes as a beautiful surprise and gives him the escape he truly needs!
Since this book doesn't have that much sex scenes, like the previous ones, I was able to actually see the connection between Becca and Justin. They get to know each other and open up to each other through the letters and emails they exchange. I felt the constant emotion building between them and actually felt their fears too.
The epilogue was truly beautiful and left me so sad to see this story ending! It's a truly amazing book that I totally recommend 😍
This is book 5 in a series about a Seal team. Each book is about one member of that team who enters a relationship with a woman but stays true to his team. They are a large extended family and even the wives/girlfriends have each other’s backs. I gave this 5 stars because the relationship in this story is developed through letters and emails. The sex in this book is not the driving force. I found these characters to be my favorites.
Becca is an Army widow with a three year old daughter. She moves away from her hometown in Texas to gain some independence. Her move takes her to San Diego where she meets an amazing group of women at her daughter’s daycare who welcome her with open arms. At the same time, she starts writing to a Navy Seal who is deployed overseas. What starts as a way to give back to the military, turns into much, much more.
This couple is much more than just pen pals by the time Justin returns. His connection to her new group of friends is quite surprising to her. A lovely story of sharing and learning to trust again.
I waited quite some time for Justin's story. The bits and pieces I caught of him throughout the series were barely enough to hold me over, but he's finally here!!! Also, *insert sad face emoji*.
I loved that Justin had the capacity to be THAT guy (alpha, protective, possessive, loving, sweet, sexy, etc). I was thrilled when we got a glimpse of it when Becca lost her silly little mind and basically broke up with him . . . by email (totally not her fault, but still). However, I felt absolutely cheated. It was literally a glimpse, him saying he would fight and he wasn't going to give up, and then NOTHING! It went nowhere. Just fizzled out and died.
As for Becca, I loved her as a mother. She'd been hurt before and unfortunately, she didn't want to put herself or her child in that position. Completely understandable and respectable, but I felt like it was drawn out unnecessarily. After a while, it was no longer relatable because she never made any effort to ask questions and talk about her feelings and insecurities (yet she claimed to feel as though Justin was someone she could open up to and share her feeling with) and all her heartache and misery was based solely on assumption.
Olivia was absolutely adorable and I loved the secondary characters.
Overall, it was a quick and interesting read, it just fell short of my expectations. I enjoyed the previous books far more than I did this one.
Of course I had to binge read this series as so many friends recommended it. Faith is the 5th and last book in the series and what sweet end to this great serie. Sometime life in the army gets lonely and boring to say at least and this is how Justin is feeling as all his friends and colleagues gets their happily ever after with their perfect matches. One day his sister is pressing him to sign up for a penpal just to change something and give a try to a new opportunity to meet people and have time to think about something else than war and army. Becca is a sigle mother army widow and would do anything for her sweet daughter.Wanting to change something in her life as well she signed up to become a penpal to a soldier as she knows how much that means for them when they are far away from home,family and friends. To their surprise ,this makes them become friends and even they don't see each other in person for a long time,they develop such a sweet friendship and each one gets to know more of the other through their letter exchange . It's a beautiful and so sweet story that will make you belive once again that love does exist and appears when and where least expected.
Justin is a deployed SEAL. His friends/teammates have all settled down, and have had or are having kids. He’s starting to feel a bit left out and lonely. His sister talks him into signing up for a website that matches single soldiers with pen pals in the States. Becca is a widow of a soldier with a 3 year old daughter, Olivia. She is a nurse and her workplace decided to sign up to write to soldiers as a July 4 holiday service project. She is matched with Justin, and while they have a real connection and grow close, Becca is afraid to grow closer to him after losing her husband. She also discovers that her new good friends are Justin’s sister and his friends’ wives and girlfriends.
What I liked: Olivia stole the show! She was such a cute little girl. I liked that Becca didn’t try to hide her comic book nerdiness from Justin. I also liked the friendships in the book. I really liked that Justin and Becca got to know each other through the letters and emails before getting more involved with each other.
What I didn’t like: In several parts, the writing was a bit disjointed. I had to reread some sections to figure out who was talking or what exactly was going on, or because the paragraph was just awkward to read. Also, why was Becca’s drunk email ignored?? That had so much potential
Overall: Pretty good. It’s not amazing, but not bad either. Definitely enjoyable.
Single mum Becca has moved with her daughter Olivia from Texas to San Diego with the hope of a new start, somewhere where she is just herself and not the "military widow"; after her husband Trent was killed in action, that's all she was seen as and she wanted more. Working as a nurse, her and some colleagues decide to join the military pen pal scheme, hopefully bringing a smile to someone who would otherwise have no one sending them mail at all. Becca's assigned pen pal?... a certain Navy SEAL called Justin that her brand new friends might just know; his sister just happens to be Emma from The Mission bar and the owner of Kidology, the day care centre she enrols Olivia at. Will Becca be able to bring a smile to Justin's face or will it be a one letter and done kind of thing?
I have to say, while this one is without a doubt the tamest of this series, I think that it might actually be my favourite. Being thousands of miles apart the romance aspect is obviously slow burn and thought based, but I loved the interactions between the two and how it all played out. I have enjoyed every book in this series and would recommend it to anyone. Faith gets 4.5 stars from me.
This is the first book I have read in the series and it will not be the last. I plan on reading them in order to get the full effect of these guys and their woman. These authors have out done themselves with setting up this world that draws you in and keeps you there right to the end.
Justin lives his life for the Navy. He wanted to escape the small town he lived in and start a new life and he did. Joining the Seals was everything for Justin and his friends. Then his friends were starting to get married and make families. But Justin had no one special because he thought he didn't need a woman in life until he finally felt lonely and decided to follow his sisters advice and get a penpal. Once he does his life changes in ways he never thought.
Becca is a single mother who lost the man she loved to the Marines. She is determined to make a life for her and her daughter. She does this but there is something missing from her life and she decides to become a penpal for the Navy. It is there that she meets Justin and they hit it off. She decides to let Justin in and give love another go.
this is a MUST read series for all who love a good romance and sexy Navy men!
This is the fifth and final book in the series, I do feel it could be read as a standalone, the couples from the previous books do feature but you don’t need to know their stories to enjoy this book. This is Justin or LT story, and I have to say it’s my favourite of the series.

I loved this book, it is a short read but I was hooked from the beginning and spat out at the end. I loved the letters and emails between LT and Becca, we get to see their relationship blossom and bloom over the course of the book. I loved how Becca was accepted by the other men’s women, how they took her under their wing and helped her to live again. I am sad to see the end of this series but it ended perfectly.

Faith was a wonderful conclusion to this series! I think that the first book was my favorite, but this one is definitely a tie with book 3 as my second-favorite! Becca and Justin’s characters are very normal and down-to-earth, while also maintaining their own spunk and unique personalities. This was so different from some of the others in the series because the majority of their relationship in the novel is through letters, e-mail, phone, and occasional video chats. Their love develops emotionally, mentally, and intellectually rather than starting from physical and going from there – which I loved!
My favorite part, however, was the relationship that developed between little Olivia and Justin. Second to that, was the way Olivia took to Layla, despite Layla declaring that she liked babies somewhat, but not toddlers and older children. Olivia just tugged at my heartstrings from beginning to end!
I certainly recommend Faith for it being such a quick and romantic read. It can be read as a stand-alone, but I highly suggest reading books 1-4 just so you’ll know all of the secondary characters, their stories, and how they all became each others’ chosen family. A head’s up though, the epilogue will have you crying both tears of joy and tears of laughter!

I loved this book. Once I started I could not stop reading it. I need more Justin and Becca. These two were so amazing. I loved how they started. Who would have thought that falling for someone via a letter would be what bring a strong man like Justin to think he could have more in life.
I loved Becca. She was far stronger than she gave herself credit for. She worked hard. Loved her daughter with all her heart and had dreams. I loved her dreams. I wish she could have achieved them. I hope we get follow up and find out she did. I loved how she allowed herself to be vulnerable. It was refreshing to see.
Justin was everything and more. He always thought the SEAL's would be his life. He never thought there might be more, until there could be. I loved watching him build something with Becca and Livie. They needed him as much as he needed them.
I loved this story from start to finish. I loved watching the fall and seeing how these two really made it work in the end. Please check out this amazing story. I hope and pray we get follow up soon!
