Author

Brilee Scott is a contemporary military romance author. Her books are filled with swoon-worthy romance, heart stopping action and suspense, and the promise of a hard-fought happily ever after.

Brilee is teacher-turned-author, wife to an aerospace engineer, and mama to the sweetest little boy (plus two very spoiled Australian Shepherds).

She studied education and fiction writing in college before spending several years teaching kindergarten and earning her master’s degree in literacy. Inspired by her husband’s career in military aviation, her deep-rooted patriotism, and her love of happily ever afters, Brilee found her way back to writing.

The idea for Viking, her debut novel, sparked during a family day at an airshow—proof that jet noise and love stories pair surprisingly well. She now writes heartfelt, high-stakes romance featuring elite fighter pilots, fierce heroines, and the kind of chemistry that lingers long after the last page.

Brilee and her family call Jacksonville, Florida, home, though they’re currently at Edwards AFB in California, where her husband is part of a next-generation fighter program. She’s hard at work on the rest of The Silent Pursuit series—and a few spin-offs about characters she just couldn’t let go of.

Praise

I opened this book expecting romance, adrenaline, maybe a touch of heartbreak… but Brilee Scott delivered something far deeper and far more human. This is a story about what happens when the thing you love most becomes the thing that breaks you…and what it takes to let yourself love anything after the pieces stop fitting back together.

Logan stole my heart without ever asking for it. The weight he carries, the quiet way he tries to hold himself together while bleeding on the inside… none of it is romanticized or made pretty for the reader.

And then there’s Lila. She isn’t just the woman written to patch a broken hero back together…She has her own dreams and her own fears. Watching her choose love while still protecting her heart, watching her forgive without losing herself, felt like a reminder that hope is sometimes the bravest decision we make. She grounded Logan, but she also grounded this story in something real.

Their story isn’t just about falling in love.
It’s about surviving it.
Choosing it.
Fighting for it through grief, silence, fear, distance, and the terrifying possibility of loss.

This book completely blew me away!

What really stood out to me was the attention to the military side, it added so much authenticity and depth. The action scenes, the camaraderie, and the emotional moments were done so well. It’s one of those stories that makes you laugh, cry, and feel everything in between. Truly unforgettable.

What an absolutely stunning debut—full of heart, second chances, and the kind of emotional depth that lingers long after you turn the final page. I was hooked from the very first chapter, where we meet the sweet and sassy Lila and the ever-endearing Captain Logan James.

Lila was an FMC who was easy to root for. She was well-grounded, ambitious, and intentional. Her heart was so evident in the moments when she chose forgiveness over bitterness.

Captain. Logan. James. Need I say more? While the book begins in Lila’s POV, I truly believe this story is aptly titled because it belongs to Logan. From the cocky (yet undeniably charming) pilot we meet in Las Vegas, to the man haunted by ghosts of his past, to the version of him we get to love in the end—“character growth” feels like an understatement. Logan’s journey was a winding path, but also one of immense healing.

The word that keeps coming to mind while writing this review is “balance.” This is something Viking does so well. Scott masterfully balances the romantic tension with the adrenaline rush of flight missions and the buried trauma of the past as it claws its way to the surface. I swooned, I laughed and cried, and chewed on my nails—I felt every emotion while reading.

And her prose. My goodness, the prose. There were so many lines that took my breath away—moments that stopped me mid-page just to reread them again. Scott’s writing has a cinematic quality that makes every emotion sharper, every heartbeat louder, every quiet moment linger just a little longer. It’s the kind of writing that pulls you in and doesn’t let go.

Viking is a story that will undoubtedly stay with me for a long time.
