Fourth and last in series of the very satisfying Seals, Inc. series by Mia Dymond. The last book featuring the already developing love story between Shadow and Clare Steele (twin sister of Brett Steele, male focus of book three) didn't fail to disappoint. It delivered a steamy, nail biter that kept you guessing. However, all four books have been so similar in their plot, including their predictable saccharin sweet endings, that it was fairly easy to spot the real bad guy early on, despite the misleading clues that try to throw you off scent. My biggest bugbear with this series has been time consistency. And there was another questionable, but not wholly unbelievable jump issue around time in this book. Which not everyone may pick up on, but as a mother ... I did.However weighing it all up, I can't say I haven't enjoyed all four books in this series immensely. They're funny, with alpha masculine heroes and sassy likeable heroines. Once you've read one you'll just have to devour the rest! I hope Ms. Dymond decides to give us one last bite of the cherry and gives us a book about Matt Brooks and perhaps his induction into Seals, Inc. Shadow and Claire's story! Claire does a disappearing act in the last part of the Seals #3 book. Shadow takes off after her just in time for some crazy to bomb her car. It was a good thing that Shadow was there so the killer could not get to her while she was vulnerable in the house after the bombing. Claire admits her love for Shadow and he for her. Then Shadow calls in back up Claire's brother Brett to catch the crazy killer. Claire is working with the police on several cases and she feels things when she touches them. She can also feel evil if a person is bad. One of the cases she worked on in the past a cop was killed and his partner is now working with her, Shadow does not trust him. She knows that he is innocent but cannot convince Shadow or Brett. But there is evil lurking close to this cop, in the end Shadow and Brett is very surprised by who it is.
