My rating: 4 of 5 stars
An entertaining and engaging romantic suspense novel which had me hooked from page one. Hollywood director Kai Serrano needs a Navy SEAL to be a consultant on her latest film, but she wasn’t expecting ‘every woman’s ideal military action hero’, Waters. Neither of them are looking for a relationship and Waters, a man with no identity, isn’t even allowed to have one. Waters realises that Kai is in danger when her brother goes missing following trouble on the set, including break-ins, thefts and accidents. Waters needs to figure out who she’s in danger from if he’s to protect her, and one suspect is her belittling executive producer. However, she could be leverage in her brother’s disappearance or she could unknowingly have something that she shouldn’t. As the couple try to figure it out they can’t ignore their mutual attraction and the growing connection they share. This is a fast paced, action packed story with plenty of drama, suspense and of course romance. The chemistry between Kai and Waters sizzles off the page, and I love how their relationship develops throughout the story. The storyline had me gripped and the plot twists kept me guessing as to the outcome of the story. This is book one of a new series and I look forward to reading book two.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Good Enough is the first book in The Deadman’s Tribe Series by Nicole Craig. We follow Kai Serrano. Kai is a Hollywood director who needs consulting from Navy SEALS. When her brother calls in a favor she ends up working alongside Waters. Soon they find themselves wondering if Kai’s life is in danger and does it have anything to do with her missing brother. I thought this was a pretty good romance suspense. Plenty was going on to keep you guessing and clues to keep you intrigued. I enjoyed the dynamic between Waters and Kai. There was good chemistry. They were fun. I thought this was a really good start to the series.
This book truly has it all! The action, suspense, and romance in this debut novel by Nicole Craig on that I truly loved. Kai, needs help on her movie set and Waters is the man for the job. When things come t head showing that Kai is in trouble, Waters steps in to find out who and why. I do not want to give away a lot about the book but the chemistry of these two are amazing. If you love them sexy alpha military reads, this truly will be one to put on your list.
Nicole Craig is a new author but a great. I find her writing style amazing, her characters strong, and her ability to make the suspense keep you wanting more. I feel her books are going to give us mystery, drama, secrets, emotion, and humor truly will keep us all wanting more. I can not wait to read more in the series!!!

This was a good read. I really enjoyed the team very much and thought they had good group chemistry. I liked the characters in the book and felt that they kept you interested in the plot. The banter between the characters felt organic and not overly done in a way that didn’t feel authentic. I would definitely recommend this book.

This is a fantastic book. I found it to be both heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time. Kai and Waters have powerful chemistry together that make this story cohesive. I love how well the story is written. The danger appears on the set to Kai and Waters and his team are right there to protect her. The characters are very well-thought out and developed. I can’t wait to read more in this series and see where it goes.

Some stories move at a natural pace but then the climax/ending gets slammed into the shortest time frame possible and feels rushed. Not this story. Equal pace through the entire book. I love it!
Waters and Kai are two very strong individuals. These two are just working together on the production of a movie. However, it is their first meeting when the sparks fly. I love their secret insta-attraction and how they try to fight their feelings. Waters is a Military guy, Navy Seal to be exact. Currently he works for The Tribe, which is a group of Navy Seals who work secret assignments trying to right the wrongs around the world. Kai is an up and coming Hollywood producer who takes no crap from anyone, respects those who respect her and is in general a good person who works hard. Kai is sent to The Tribe looking for a consultant to help with her film. Little does she know what is waiting for her over the next 3 months. 3 months is the time span of this entire book. This author throws all the feelings into that time frame. Love, light, despair, lust, anger, laughter.
This is the first book by this author and the first in the series entitled Deadman’s Tribe. Looking forward to reading more from this author and about this Tribe.

This is a great way to start a series. I am all for the protective male lead and being in the military is a plus. This book is more than just a romance book, it has action, suspense, romance, twists and turns, and over all just a fast paced page turner. It draws you into the story and then keeps you hang on the words at the end of every page. I couldn’t put it down and ended up reading it in one day. This book is one where you just snuggle into a comfy blanket and spend the day swept away by the words on the pages. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can’t wait for the next one in the series. I have a feeling that the character developments and story lines will only get better and better with each book.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Kai is directing a Hollywood film and requires a consultant but not just any a Navy Seal who can guide her through the processes she requires. She did not expect Waters every girls dream but she does not need the distraction and keeps things professional until things starts happening on the set with things going missing and when it is escalated to kidnap, she has to riley on Waters to protect and solve the mystery.
Waters is an enigma, a Navy Seal with no real identity when he said yes to the consulting gig he thought it would be plain sailing, but with his attraction to the director and odd things happening his protection side kicks in and tries to help resolve the issues until it becomes clear someone is after Kai and they are not going to stop until he stops them.
Oh my lord this book packs a punch, what more could a woman need but a sexy, hot Navy Seal with Alpha tendencies. Although this is the authors first book, I have to say it was well written and the characters where well developed and jumped off the page.
The story was full of twists and turns and drives you to keep reading to the very end, especially with the interactions between the characters is a joy to read. As it says in the blurb there are instances of violence which may cause triggers for some readers and be mindful of that when choosing but for me this story was full of grit and power and loved every word of it.
I can’t wait to read the next book in this series and met more of the Deadman’s Tribe.

I love a good romantic suspense story that can pull me in from page one. This story had it all action, drama, romance and characters you can connect with easily. This author is new but I’m already excited for more. The characters pull you so completely into their world making it almost impossible to put the book down until the last page. It’s got a fast pace with a lot going on but the author does a great job of keeping it in a very clear story that makes you sink into it. I know the year has just started but this book is already in my top reads for it. Five stars and can’t wait to see where this author takes us next.

Good Enough is Book 1 in Thea Deadman’s Tribe series and also a debut novel….This was such a great read and I can say I am already looking forward to more from this author and series. I love a good romantic suspense story that give me the twists, turns and drama with some sizzling moments. The author delivered of what I love in reading a story like this. A hot Navy SEAL and a very strong leading lady full of sass as well as the connection and chemistry between Waters and Kai is truly undeniable. Danger, intrigue, romance and the banter!!
Kai is a strong, independent film director with no filter and holds nothing back. She wants to direct a film that is accurate in details and hires a Navy SEAL to consult with. Waters is not initially looking forward to being the Navy SEAL to consult with over a film, but as Waters gets to know Kai on a work level, he is quite impressed, but he will always be a protector with his radar on high alert at all times. Waters feels like he is on alert knowing that Kai may be in danger, especially when her brother is missing…..what happens next and will Kai ever feel like she is good enough…
I do not want to give spoilers but this is a great read. There is so much details that has you at the edge of your seat turning the pages to see what happens next in the story. I love the dual POV in this story and I cannot wait to see what is next!!

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I love a good book with some military action, suspense, and even a bit of romance. I love the cover of this book. However, I did not love this book.
First, let’s talk about what I did love about it though. As previously mentioned, I love the cover. It’s intriguing and I want to know more about the people on it. I love stories with a military focus. They have always fascinated me and the fact that this one is talking about the roles of Navy SEALS had me intrigued. I like action, suspense and romance too. All of those things were in this book.
What I didn’t like and couldn’t get past in this story was the language. I couldn’t even finish this book because the language was so incredibly strong. I know that with a military read to expect strong language but this was entirely overkill. I couldn’t finish this book because of this. I had such high hopes for this story based on the premise but I don’t talk like this in my daily life and I don’t want to read a book that has such vile language just about every other word.
There are many favorable reviews over this author’s debut book so I’d encourage them to read those reviews (I wish I had before I picked this one up). You might end up enjoying this story but it wasn’t for me.

When I started reading this book, I expected a fairly exciting read with a focus on the romantic story. What ai actually got felt like so much more. The story is fast paced, action packed and a brilliant read right from the word go. It was so well developed and the author got the pace of the story just right.
I loved reading about these characters. Their connection was instant and really carried them through everything going on. The plot was full of twists and turns at every stage, which really made the book so much more exciting. As the first book in a series, this shows such potential and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next ones.

Be aware that this story could cause triggers. It contains a violent assault.
Good Enough is Nicole Craig’s debut book and the first book in the romantic suspense series Deadman’s Tribe. This is one author to look out for. I see good things for her.
It is great start to what promises to be a great series. I do love me some good alpha sexy military-security Navy SEAL men stories. Nicole seamlessly weaved a fast-paced twisty plot and multiple storylines that leaves you breathless right the way through. The story flowed effortlessly and seamlessly show casing just how good this author is at telling a great story.
Good Enough is filled with intrigue, danger, tension and suspense that jumps from the page leaving me engrossed with every twist and turn.
I loved the fully developed, complex and well written strong characters, the alpha men of the Deadman team, the loyalty, the comradery and banter and the strong heroine often had me laughing.
The story is engaging is at times heartfelt, heartbreaking and heartwarming. I am not giving away any spoilers I want you to discover Nicole’s work in all its glory for yourselves.
I can’t wait to read the next book; I am addicted to the Deadman’s Tribe!

This is book 1 in the Deadman’s Tribe series and also the author’s debut novel. This was a amazing read. I was gripped from the beginning and it didn’t let me go. The author does an amazing job with the story, the twists and turns really made this a story I couldn’t stop reading and the characters were so well developed I couldn’t help but be dragged into their story.
The main characters were well matched. Our leading male was everything I love in a leading man, strong, protective, determined to protect no matter the cost and what I also loved is that our leading lady is just as determined and can take care of herself. She is certainly not someone who will wait for a man to come and save her which only makes her more appealing to our leading man.
Kai Serrano is a Hollywood director who needs the assistance of a Navy SEAL for her film to make it as real as possible. When she meets Waters the spark between them starts from the first meeting but she is too busy to be distracted by a man even one that takes her breath away.
Waters feels the connection too but he isn’t pleased when he is put forward as the candidate to assist her but something isn’t right and Waters and his boss both sense it.
When filming starts things start to happen. Accidents on set happen more than they should, things go missing and to top it all Kai’s brother gets kidnapped.
Waters feels that Kai is in danger but from what or who is the problem. Now he has to use all his expertise to protect her even though she can’t see the danger around her. Can they work together to solve the mystery of who wants her and why without losing themselves to the chemistry and fire between them?
This is a fast paced, action packed suspense romance that I couldn’t put down. I am really looking forward to seeing what the author has in store for us next.

Spunky movie director, Kai Serrano, seeks out a Navy SEAL consultant from The Tribe. Even from their initial meeting, sparks fly with Kai and ex-SEAL Waters. When she becomes a target, Waters goes from consultant to protector. This was a fast-paced romance story and I immediately fell in love with Kai and Waters! The story is wonderful, as are the characters

4 – 4.5 Stars
Good Enough is the first book in The Deadman’s Tribe and debut novel by Nicole Craig. I was immediately hooked by the blurb of this book, not realising that it was the author’s debut novel. I had already let my ‘one-click’ finger loose and snapped up a copy before I realised that this was the author’s first book. That made me even more curious to see what she could do. So I found a comfy spot, coffee in hand, and set off on the ’adventure’.
I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised by what I found- engrossed in the story right from the get-go, I wasn’t even halfway through when I decided that I would definitely be keeping a close eye on Ms. Craig and will pounce on anything else she releases.
This proved to be a cleverly woven story with a multilayered storyline. Ms. Craig crafted a superb romantic suspense with a protective alpha-type MC, a strong & sassy FMC, a security/military element, with plenty of dramatic developments, twists & turns, chemistry, sparks, connection, danger, violence, tension, intrigue, intensity, mystery, secrets, action, humour, emotion, and more. I loved how well-developed the characters were, and how they were masterfully constructed into fully-realised individuals with their own unique personalities, quirks, and flaws. I loved the cheeky, funny banter, quips, and the team/character’s camaraderie. Getting an alternating, duel POV added depth and intrigue to the story, and I loved being privy to the characters inner dialogue- it really added an extra element of interest to the whole story.
This first book has definitely given me a taste for more, and I can’t wait to find out more about the tribe as the series progresses.
If you love protective alpha-types, a military/security team vibe, romantic suspense with an engrossing storyline, chemistry, and sparks- then you will definitely want to grab a copy of this to explore…
Bring on ‘Bad Enough’ (Book #2 – which is TB’s story).
Happy Reading…
Thank you, Nicole Craig!
