Remy LaDue, hot Navy SEAL with SEAL Team 10, is on a mission. He's planned a special vacation to the Colorado Rockies with the express purpose of proposing to the woman he loves on Christmas morning. He knows it a long shot, with both their jobs keeping them away from each other for months out of the year, but he wants her as his forever lover and will risk everything to marry her.
Mitchell Sanders is as dedicated to her work as an NCIS agent as Remy is to his calling as a Navy SEAL. Independent, driven and passionate about justice and protecting innocents, she would no sooner give up her job as Remy.
When a criminal she helped to capture and convict escapes on the eve of their departure, Mitchell is torn between sticking around to recapture him and going with Remy, opting to follow her desire this once. Plans change as the mountains become a nightmare and they struggle to put an end to the threats that plague their idyllic vacation and Remy's plans for his Christmas surprise.

I lost track of this series and I'm so glad I've found it again. Remy and Mitchell's love story is book two of this series "SEAL's Desire" which I read five years ago. I loved that book and all the books I've read in this series. Elle James takes the best of a long Romantic-Suspense novel and packs it into a long novella format. There is never a down moment, and it is action-packed from the first page to the last.
Mitchell Sanders is a dedicated NCIS agent who loves her job, even when it keeps her apart from the love of her life, Remy LaDue. She has one final case to put a bow on before she and Remy take off on a Christmas Vacation - Destination Unknown, at least to Mitchell because Remy planned the whole thing. The last thing Mitchell expected was for baddie Rocco to threaten her on his way out of court after his conviction and to just minutes later escape custody. Quite the way to start a romantic vacation with a psycho murderer who threatened you on the loose.
Remy LaDue is a hot Navy SEAL with a mission. He is in love with Mitchell and is planning to propose in the most romantic way he can come up with on Christmas morning. He has even rehearsed how he's going to do it. His job is demanding and takes him away from her far too often, but he wants forever with her.
Nothing goes right from the beginning of this trip and Mitchell has a really bad feeling that Rocco is on her trail, but this is her romantic vacation and her passion for Remy is not going to take a backseat to a baddie. Remy should have listened to Mitchell's gut because their idyllic ski vacation has turned into a nightmare.
This is the sequel to book 2 in the series Take No Prisoners. It has the same couple Remy and Mitchell and now Remy wants to propose to Mitchell. But there is a little problem the criminal who Mitchell caught in book 2 has escaped and wants revenge. Remy's romantic vacation which he planned to propose on doesn't go as planned.
I was so excited to revisit the Remy and Mitchell who I loved in Seal's Desire.Mitchell is a great heroine. She is one of the most independent strong heroines I have ever read. Remy is just so sweet and sexy and romantic. I love how Remy is trying so hard to make his proposal perfect and how much he loves and respects Mitchell. Mitchell doesn't have a clue that Remy wants to propose, but she is also thinking about their relationship moving to the next level. Mitchell is very scared of being left which makes sense after you hear her family background. I loved how in this book the hero was more romantic then the heroine. I wish author's wrote that more. Both characters are very dedicated to their jobs which are both high pressure and not 9 to 5. These two characters have to work even harder on their relationship because of their jobs and the author tells it straight up and doesn't try to sugarcoat that their relationship will not be easy. The Underwater Kiss Scene=Perfect. If you love action, suspense, and romance this is the book for you and it's great to while away an afternoon.

Elle James is a great author. Each and every book is better than the last. I have yet to read a book of hers that wasn't interesting, intriguing and hot... hot men and hot sex...What more could you ask for? Not only are the men hot but the ladies are no slouches either. They are strong, talented and beautiful. Once you read one of her books, you'll always be sure you get her next one as soon as it hits the shelves. This author is one that you'll want to keep in your library.
The action never eases in this followup on Mitchell and Remy's relationship. You don't want to miss finding out if it end in disaster from the pressure of both their professions or bring them closer to a HEA. How will Remy hold up as his best laid plans for a romantic holiday vacation come crashing down around them from the get go? Can Mitchell even pretend to enjoy the vacation with a death threat looming over her from a past escaped enemy criminal?
I still wish there was more future story rather than ending with getting together and maybe working out. Mitchell was a tough NCIS agent and Remy a seal. There work schedules and time apart is not good for a long term relationship. A case of Mitchell’s convicted a criminal. On the way back to jail his cronies break him out. Now she has a death hit out on her. Rocco thwarts every plan Remy has for a special vacation he has planned for Mitchell. Gun fire, fires, skiing, freezing all play a part. Can a girl give a guy a ring. The brothers should have been brought into this
Remy and Mitchell's story was good. I just wished it would have been attached to their original story. I dislike stories when they are piecemealed together. Here we have Rey's next laid out plans challenged since Mitchell has an escapee targeting her and determined on revenge.
Remy and Mitchell two who loved their job , fave things had on, lliked their dependence but realized they need to be each other for ever. Elle James bring two strong charscters together and a explosion of a story you will enjoy reading
Remy and Mitchell were 2 strong people. As they leave for vacation Mitchell’s prisoner has escaped. He follows them and tries to kidnap her. Love wins out.
Wow!! Hot, spicy and racing for their lives from a dirt bag criminal, Mitchell had almost put away. She couldn't believe he escaped from the sheriffs men and now is hunting her down to pay for stopping his human trafficking ring. Remy and her decide to go ahead with their ski vacation, even with the danger. Love the suspense, romance and love.
I loved Remy and Mitchell's story and how they worked through the the obstacles that they had in the first story. I really enjoyed this story because we get to catch up with Remy and Mitchell again. Things have been going great for the two of them and Remy is ready to propose and take the next step with Mitchell but is worried about where Mitchell stands regarding marriage. He has an awesome vacation planned out to show Mitchell how much he loves her and to propose on Christmas. But, they of course have something pop up. The bad guy from their first story breaks out after being sentenced and is after Mitchell. I loved how this story progressed and what we got to witness woth high Mitchell and Remy. We get to see more of them and their relationship because at this point it is well established and one of them isn't undercover ;). I was so happy to get to see more of them and to get a close look of their happy ever after. There is not any real interaction with the other SEAL members. The story is really well written and flows really well. This story focuses more on their relationship than a lot of action but it is not slow or boring. It draws you in and the action that is there just emphasizes the rest of the story and thy blend really well together. I love this series and I can't wait for more.
Wow !! Can't go wrong with Elle James SEALs. Remy and Mitchell are a couple now. We read about their courtship earlier in the series where she was undercover NCIS to find her friend who disappeared. Then Remy and his SEAL team helped save her. Here we have Remy ready to propose on their vacation he's planned for months ahead. She's wrapping up at court to send the bad guy to prison, when the bad guy is set free by his men in a gun battle outside the courthouse in broad daylight. Twists and turns, she's being targeted, crashed into by a garbage truck, stranded with no electricity, harassed at the airport, creepy phone calls, and Mitchell and Remy leave for vacation - but the bad guy's men followed them, and their cabin burned to the ground before they got to it. They aren't safe. Not anywhere. Will they make it to Christmas so he can propose?, will she say yes ? Deep characters, true love, amazing hot sex, and top notch action make this worthwhile ! Highly recommend ! ENJOY !!!
A great addition to the Take No Prisoners series but also stands-alone.
This book is a follow-up to SEAL’s Desire but you don’t have to have read that book to enjoy this one. Remy and Mitchell (Mitchell is a woman) have been living together but Remy is ready to take it to the next level.
Remy’s planned a special Christmas vacation for the two of them. He’s bought a ring for Mitchell but he’s really not certain about how she’ll react. Before they can leave on their trip things get dicey for Mitchell when a bad guy she helped convict escapes and he threatens her.
This is a fast paced book and will keep you on the edge of your seat until the last page. It has really nice steamy parts, too. LOL It’s one of my favorites of the series.
If you haven’t read the other books in this series I recommend you give them a try.
I received an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review but I also purchased the SEALs of Winter boxed set which included this story.
This series just keeps getting better and better. Remy is ready to ask Mitchell to marry him, before they head off to the mountains for a special Christmas vacation, a guy Mitchell helped convict escapes and threatens her. This is a sexy suspense filled action packed read that will keep you glued to your e-reader from beginning to end. It is easy to get lost in a world of sexy navy seals and the strong women they fall in love with. An all-around great read. Even though it is part of a series it can be read as a stand-alone but I believe you will want to learn more about all of the guys from Seal Team 10.
Wow! Can you imagine the pressure of wanting to propose to the woman you love while a lunatic was after her!?!? Re my had just that, on top of the fact his girlfriend, Mitchell, was a badass who never wanted to be dependent on anyone and had baggage from her past that dragged her down. Will he ever get a fiancè? This was a great story and I really enjoyed it. Mitchell was a bit winey, but Remy was awesome and he totally made up for it. They had major chemistry and lots of twists and turns. Just an enjoyable read.
Remy LaDue, hot Navy SEAL with SEAL Team 10 has the perfect SEAL's Proposal planned for Mitchell Sanders, NCIS agent over the Christmas holiday. The human traffic criminal that was just convicted thanks to Mitchell's undercover work escapes as he is being transferred after the trial.
The criminal and his men are after Mitchell so the perfect planned SEAL's Proposal holiday is from start to finish a big mixed up mess. Remy is determined to propose but it didn't go how he planned... You need to read the book to see if Mitchell said yes.
Awesome story. I just cannot get enough of this series of Seals Remy and Mitchell just make the best couple. I am so ready to read the next book in this series. Thank you for awesome book.
Enjoyed reading about Navy Seals and their lives. Lots of action along with a love interest. Listened to the book on a road trip and it held my interest, I was home before I realized it.
Loved the book. It is a well written book with great characters. The entire Series is one that you do not want to miss. You can not go wrong with purchase of this series.
