I originally bought the Hunt Brothers series as ebooks and then went back and purchased the Coastal Hope ebooks. I loved them so much that I then went back and bought the paperback full bundle with all 12 books!
These books are so well written and leave you feeling hopeful and encouraged. I bought the alternate covers and love them! I purchased the physical copies because while this is a swoony romance, it has so much action that I just know my husband will love them too!
I HIGHLY recommend every one of these books. They literally keep getting better and better.
Wow. Just wow. Another thrilling no spice Christian romantic suspense from Ashley. I totally devoured her previous series and I wish this one was completed so that I could do it again.
This book has so much that I loved: a search and rescue military feel, a former SEAL and his team, a runaway bride, a second chance, redemption, faith, family, and so much more. Zane and his team have been trapped into doing off the books missions for years. And it’s wearing on them. Tessa has been missing for 18 years - ever since she ran away before their wedding. But suddenly she’s back, with all of the demons from her past (including horrific child abuse from her father) beating on her door.
This book was filled with action, protection, and so many amazing moments of faith, family, and redemption. I cannot wait to read more from this series and I adored seeing bits of the Hunts. The romance is just kisses, intimacy level 2.

Jessica has become one of my must read Christian Fiction Suspense authors in the last couple of years. I love the way she weaves mystery, suspense/danger, great characters and a faith thread into a story I can’t put down. My favorite element of this story was the faith element with Tessa’s journey and Zane’s devotion was so sweet. I can not wait for the rest of this series!
I received a copy of this book from the author and was not required to post a positive review. All thoughts are my own.
Jessica Ashley writes books with characters that feel like real people. You do not have to suspend disbelief in order to read the story. The characters are not perfect. We meet new characters on their journey where they may experience good and bad times, moments of confidence and insecurity, moments of great faithfulness, as well as dark nights of the soul. I can relate to all of that.
This was Zane’s and Tessa’s story. They fell in love when they were very young, but were forced apart by a cruel situation that changed every plan they had for their future lives, both as a couple an as individuals. This story finds them reunited 18 years after Tessa left Zane at the altar.
The latest chapter in Zane and Tessa’s story unfolded against a backdrop of mystery and suspense, that took several turns with a surprise ending. The author is talented; she was able to tie several story lines together in a way that was fresh and surprising.
Zane is a good man who struggles with the realities of being a soldier, an impossible situation with his boss, and now his conflicted feelings when Tessa reappears unexpectedly in his life. He adoreshis mother and his sister. I really enjoyed those family interactions. His teammates are his brothers who sacrificially support each other.
Tessa struggles with feeling unloved. She has experienced dark times, both in regards to her faith and her life. I see her as a survivor but she sees herself as being unworthy and a burden to everyone. She’s been alone, struggling for most of her life. Putting myself in her story, I understand why she feels the way she does, but it was difficult to read at times.
Honest conversations occur that help clear the air. They don’t necessarily immediately fix the problem, but they allow the characters to at least understand and move forward. The book shows the value of community, faith, relationships, and the bonds that tie us together.
Overall themes of the book are transformation, redemption, and faith. Tessa was transformed from someone who was insecure and hurt and lost to a woman of strength and faith.
Both Zane’s and Tessa’s relationship to each other, and Tessa’s relationship to God was restored and redeemed as they forged new beginnings.
Zane’s faithfulness, despite real hurt and struggle allowed him to embrace a new life with those he loved.
Author, Jessica Ashley has created a community of characters in her books and it was a joy to see characters from previous books making an appearance in this story in a way that was not forced but felt congruent and seamless to the story. It was refreshing to see how the relationships and the bonds of the characters have grown and how they relate to each other.
I am looking forward to the next installment in the Iron Tide Brotherhood series!
Please note, there are scenes of remembered domestic violence in this book, as Tessa was raised by an abusive, alcoholic father. I think the subject was handled carefully and respectfully, but I am noting that as information for those who may have experienced something similar before they pick up the book.
This is one of those books where you sit down to read “just a little”… and suddenly hours have passed. Dishes? What dishes?
Ugh! Take me back to Stormwatch Landing, please!
The pacing was perfect—fast, intense action without ever feeling overwhelming, and balanced beautifully with a sweet romance that kept me smiling.
Zane and Tessa’s second-chance story kept pulling me back in. The tension, the history between them, and the way their relationship unfolds made every moment feel earned. I also loved the twists—just when I thought I knew where things were going, the story surprised me in the best way.
If you love action-packed romantic suspense with heart, depth, and characters you genuinely root for, this one is a must-read. I already can’t wait for the next book in the series.
I have loved every book by Jessica Ashley, and this one definitely did NOT disappoint. You can read it as a standalone with no problem. However, I have enjoyed meeting these two main characters, Sawyer and Anastasia, in previous books, and I have very much been looking forward to their story. It was definitely captivating and thought provoking throughout. I love how the author addresses relevant issues, like church hurt and traumas, in such a real and relatable way. The plot was engaging and had a twist I NEVER saw coming. Very good book from beginning to end with fantastic main and support characters!
Another fantastic read from Jessica Ashley! Seal of Courage was fast-paced and kept me on the edge of my seat until the very end. I was genuinely sad when it was over. Each book in this series somehow tops the last!
Sawyer and Anastasia’s story is a second-chance thrill ride with a lesson in unwavering faith. A slow-burn, clean romance with a twist I never saw coming! I can’t wait to read the rest of the series!
Absolutely love this story and the whole series!! The writing of Jessica brings you to where they are as if you are in the story too!! I love the life she gives to the characters, the depth of storytelling, the suspense that brings you to the edge with each character, the love that develops and the God centered scripture that brings life to the whole book. Her heart is on the written page and even though I just discovered her writings I will read them all! I can’t wait for all she does in the future. She has become my favorite writer! Thank you Jessica for all you give to us. May God continue to bless your work.
Another wonderful book from Jessica Ashley. We learn more about these brave men alongside the relationship between Sawyer and Anastasia. While there is danger and confusion and love just like her other books, this novel unfolds in a different way, and it carries a twist you will not see coming. As I read about Sawyer's faith journey, I was reminded that even in the ordinary, daily struggles of life, we simply need to "be still and know". Seal of Courage will captivate you and move you. You will not be disappointed.
I was provided an advanced ARC of the book;all opinions are mine.
Fast paced action and thrills. Another great book from Jessica Ashley!
