Summary
Renowned Chef Elodie Winters’ dream job, private chef to a powerful family in New York, quickly becomes a nightmare when her employer turns out to be the head of a notorious mob family. Now on the run, she thinks she’s finally safe, having landed in the middle of the Arabian Sea, cooking on the Asaka Express cargo ship. When the ship is taken by pirates, she can’t believe her bad luck...but it’s about to take a turn for the better.
Scott “Mustang” Webber is pulled from his current mission, along with the rest of his SEAL team, to prevent an act of piracy in the Middle East. They’re all surprised when the first person to radio for help is a woman. He soon senses “Rachel Walters” is hiding something and offers his help. He’s both shocked and pleased when she actually comes looking for him in Hawaii months later. He’d felt a connection with her on that cargo ship...one he’s looking forward to exploring further.
Keeping Elodie safe in Hawaii turns out to be easy...until it isn’t. Long days in paradise have a way of making one complacent. Now Mustang is working against the clock and the elements themselves, as he faces his greatest mission ever - finding Elodie.
Finding Elodie is the first book in the SEAL Team Hawaii series. Each book is a stand-alone, with no cliff-hanger endings.

The story starts just when pirates attack the boat Elodie is on. So right at the beginning, you get a huge load of violence and despair, peppered with all the necessary information about the characters–info dumping is easier when the characters are stuck in their head because they’re alone and must keep silent. It’s done quite well, though the ellipsis in the middle of the pirate attack, when Elodie and Mustang are supposed to talk a lot, doesn’t help with understanding how they connected so fast. If they didn’t insist later that they have feelings for each other, I wouldn’t guess.
What I liked the most was the scenes with Elodie and Mustang’s team. They were funny and sweet–a much needed reprieve in the middle of an intense action packed story. Of course, we also discover the characters who will feature later in the series.
The sexy times were unexpectedly scorching hot! If I had trouble seeing the emotional connection, I never could deny their attraction for each other.
The narrators were real pro. Delivery, emotions, pace, everything was great. I appreciated that there was a third narrator for the few chapters focused on the bad guy. And the teaser at the end? Damn, I want to listen to the next book.

I really enjoyed this story and I'm hard to please. Thought the dialogue and storyline were good. While the beginning was extremely similar to a previous book (boat vs airplane) I was okay with it. The rest of the story progressed nicely and I enjoyed the relationship part more than other SS stories. A few parts were really dark. I don't think this one was a typical SS book. Looking forward to the next book in this series.
pleasantly surprised - Highly recommend
