Opposites attract...
A year ago, Navy SEAL John Brady saved heiress Tansy Leighton from a hijacked yacht in the Mediterranean, and from the terrorist sympathizers who were demanding millions for her safe return.
As the anniversary of the hijacking approaches, Tansy’s father, financier Walter Leighton, receives a note threatening his daughter’s life. And in spite of the best private security Daddy’s money can buy, the only man Tansy trusts to guard her back, is John Brady.
But as bullets start to fly around the Leightons’ Main Line estate, can the coalminer’s son and the billionaire’s daughter survive long enough to give their relationship a shot? Or will their differences doom their budding romance before it has a chance to get off the ground?

First, this is by the author knows as Jenna Bennet and is listed that way on Amazon and on the cover of the book I bought so I hope someone can. I do not know if it was originally listed that way or if there is an error but this description matches the book that I read.
My review:
The Socialite and the SEAL is a delightful beach read from one of my favorite authors! While the story is light, but great, the characters reflect Ms. Bennett's wonderful style. Not only the major characters, but the secondary characters drew me and made me want to know more about them. I was delighted to see that the other members of the them that we have met, will have their own stories, and excited to get to pre-order the next book, but I am a little sad that we don't get to spend more time with Mick.He impressed me as much as the team did.

New series by a favorite author
Nice story about JB a Navy Seal who saves Tansy a wealthy heiress from a kidnapper and then is hired with his team to protect her a year later. As they get to know each other they fall for each other. Really enjoyed it.

Easy to read
This story has good characters, Navy SEALs after all. There is suspense and some action and a developing romance, but it is primarily a story about the characters. Enjoyable.

I’ve loved every Jenna Bennett book I’ve read & this one is included! There’s action (& that’s SEAL action!), romance & great characters. If you can ever call a SEAL sweet, this author wrote a tough but sweet hero!

With a title of "The Socialite and the Seal" it may appear this would be a "cheesy" romantic book. I found it to be an enjoyable read and love story between Tansy and John.
