Kell was just the right mix of dominant and yeilding and Emily was easier to read than Morganna, she was strong but without the attitude.”
“good book”

“God, if you have read any of my reviews on LL's books you know I adore her!!! This one is no different. Kell is soooooo dang hot! Now the only thing that I get a little irritated with is how all of the sudden Kell is in love with Emily. Like uhhh hullo...so he spends alot of time convincing her and chasing after her, still a good read. ”

“Lora Leigh, “Hidden Agendas” is one hot and steamy adventure. Emily Stanton just wants her independence. Since her kidnapping she has had one bodyguard after another. She's tired of hiding and running from the drug cartel that continues to seek her out. Kell Krieger is the sexy Navy Seal brought in to protect her against the newest attack on her life. She known Kell her whole life and been madly in love with this dangerous and secretive seal. When they have to pretend to be lovers the passion between them is to hot to stay quiet and before she knows it Emily has kissed her long standing virginity goodbye and never wants to let this man ever get away from her. Something about this story is really engaging and keeps you trying the pages. It does have a lot of steamy sex scenes so this book isn’t for the faint of heart. The story is very intriguing and a good exciting adventure. I recommend the whole series about this red hot navy seal team!”

“{Five Blue Ribbons from Romance Junkies!} Kell Krieger is a tough, hardened Navy SEAL. He has spent the last 15 years of his life vowing revenge on the man that tore his family apart. Now, when that very man threatens the existence of the one woman who has worked her way under his skin, Kell isn't very happy. Plotting the downfall of his enemy, Kell and his team of undercover SEALS fight the hidden world of drug lords and government spies with just one purpose - keeping Emily Stanton safe. Emily has cared for and been attracted to Kell Krieger for years. Believing that Kell would never notice a curvaceous woman like her, and unaware that the tough SEAL has been secretly keeping tabs on her actions, Emily has spent the last few years doing what she wants, when she wants. She is a like a butterfly free from her cocoon and eager to experience life to the fullest. When a vicious drug lord sets his sights on Emily and threatens her safety, she reluctantly agrees to Kell's special form of protection. What Emily soon realizes is that another very real danger lies in losing her heart and soul to one enigmatic and rampantly sexy Cajun named Kell Krieger. How can I verbalize what I love about HIDDEN AGENDAS? It could be the completely outstanding and testosterone-filled Kell Krieger. Maybe it's the strong but adoring Emily Stanton. Conceivably, it could be the fact that together these two characters were hot enough to melt my eyeballs. Perhaps it's the suspenseful and delightfully sensuous plot. There are so many wonderful aspects that make this book so engaging. I could see the love Kell had for Emily as well as Emily's reciprocation of that love. I also sensed the joy each found in the other, and for me, that is the ultimate gift to readers of romance. When a novel such as HIDDEN AGENDAS makes me aware of and witness to unconditional love shared by the two main characters, I know I have in my hands an evocative and captivating read. Book 4 of Ms. Leigh's Tantalizing SEALS series, HIDDEN AGENDAS, is off the charts wonderful. I have loved watching this series evolve, starting with Reno's Chance in the Honk if You Love Real Men anthology, and have anxiously awaited each installment. Each new manuscript that is penned by Lora Leigh comes with 'to die for' heroes and the heroines that complete them. I couldn't ask for anything better. In order to enjoy this novel as exquisitely as possible, I suggest reading the first three installments prior to HIDDEN AGENDAS to get the full affect of this wonderful team of delightfully wicked heroes. However, HIDDEN AGENDAS is completely stand-alone and can be enjoyed no matter what. HIDDEN AGENDAS releases in June 2007 from St. Martin's. ***Natasha Smith for Romance Junkies***”

The Navy SEAL team code named Durango Team has been tasked with protecting Senator Stanton and his daughter Emily from the latest threat posed by drug cartel kingpin Diego Fuentes. But playing bodyguard to the adventurous Emily is tricky when just keeping up with this hellion is a full-time task!
Enter Lieutenant Kell Krieger. He has known the Stantons for years, and watched Emily for most of that time between missions. Being assigned to personally protect Emily guarantees he’ll be in close contact with the aspiring writer 24/7, but she’ll not find it as easy to scare Krieger off as she did all of her previous bodyguards. He knows what makes her tick, understands her frustrations, and intends to show her how to spread her wings while keeping her pretty little butt safe from all threats. Still, the capable SEAL finds the Senator’s daughter more than a handful, and her mere presence menaces his normally unshakeable control.
He just needs to keep her safe until Durango Team uncovers the mole who has been feeding information to Fuentes and has demanded Emily’s death. But keeping his heart safe from Emily proves to be the real challenge…
Okay, I will admit it up front. I am a fool for sexy Cajun men, and Navy SEAL Lieutenant Kell Krieger tops my list of men fitting that description! Lora Leigh’s fourth installment in her Tempting Seals series continues the ongoing saga of the Durango Team’s mission to defeat the evil Diego Fuentes and the drug cartel leader’s continuing attempts to retaliate against the SEALs and their loved ones for the battles they’ve already won against him. This series captivated me from book one, and Hidden Agendas further entrenches my love for these hunky SEALs!
Emily embodies the poor little rich girl type heroine, having been held captive by a life a privilege, denied the freedoms enjoyed by most due to the dangers surrounding the daughter of a man in her father’s position as a Senator and ex-SEAL agent himself. She bucks against his control and the stifling presence of the revolving door of bodyguards he saddles her with. While most of us have not grown up in her specific situation, it is still easy to identify with her as a woman who is fighting for her independence.
Kell is the perfect hero for Emily. Having suffered unbearable tragedy in his past, he is a man who needs a woman who can stand by his side, not behind him. While certainly he tops the list of Alpha Males, he is strong enough to allow his woman her independence she needs and freedom to determine her own destiny. Indeed, he bolsters her courage and determination to stand up for herself, winning her heart and locking their souls together forever in the process.
If you loved the suspenseful storylines in the previous Tempting Seals editions, then you will be gratified to know that Hidden Agendas is fraught with just as many twists as the stories that preceded it! Leigh managed to throw me some curve balls, and kept me sitting on the edge of my seat until I turned the very last page.
Of course, while the story wraps up some of the mysteries, the author leaves plenty of room for sequels, which I am itching to get my greedy little book loving hands on!
This series knocked my socks off from book one, delivering all of the sexual intensity you expect in a Lora Leigh book, coupled with the sweet romance and happy ending she can always be relied on for.
