4.5 Almost Perfect Stars! 
 This was almost perfect. An exciting storyline, hunky Seal Hero and an admirable heroine. Emma is in danger and Ryan is determined to protect her, but he wants to protect her too much. The attraction is instant and very hot, but for some reason Ryan doesn't want to give in to it. I'm not really sure why he's trying to stay hands off with her. If he pursued her instead of the other way around, this would have been a solid five star for me. Despite that, I love the writing. This does end on a cliffhanger.
