NIKKI'S REVIEW:

What pulled me to this book initially was the blurb. I'm a sucker for romantic suspense. And the cover is pretty damn delicious too!

The opening of the book hooked me. I was totally involved and then...BAM! I find out the heroine wears unicorn and Strawberry Shortcake hoodies. Now, I know this might not bother some readers, and some may say it's not important, but it totally threw me out of the story. I just couldn't take her seriously. She's 27, but seemed so juvenile. She certainly didn't scream sexy...at all. But, I digress, I pushed on.

The plot was full of pulse pounding suspense and mystery. I loved the fact that the heroine was out for blood thirsty revenge. I'm a little sadistic like that! After I got over the childish wardrobe of Fate, I warmed up to her. She's strong and sassy, which is some of my favourite traits in a heroine. 

Nash seems to be a bit of a loose cannon, but I liked him just the same. The chemistry between Fate and Nash sparked from the get go. 

As far as romantic suspenses go, this one was good. It had the usual elements that I look for, and plenty of sizzling heat. This is the first book I've read by Ms. Mitchell, and I'm definitely going to have a look at her backlist!

HOT SECRETS (HOSTILE OPERATIONS TEAM #13)

She nearly ruined his life. Now she needs him to save hers.

It was supposed to be a simple job for hacker Bliss Bennett: access confidential files and turn them over to the CIA. But something went wrong—and now Bliss has a target on her back. With no idea who to trust, she heads straight toward the one man she hopes won’t turn her away.

Sky “Hacker” Kelley is a badass Special Operator with lethal moves and mad computer skills. He hasn’t seen his former lover—former wife—in four years, not since she nearly cost him his military career. Her arrival on his doorstep in the middle of the night reveals a gut-deep truth—he might want nothing to do with her, but he still wants her. And as much as he’d love to slam the door in her face, Sky isn’t wired to turn away anyone in distress.

Protecting Bliss won’t be easy. The files she stole are at the heart of a dangerous conspiracy, and someone is willing to do whatever it takes—including kill—to get them back. It’ll take all Sky’s considerable black-ops skills to keep Bliss safe—and all his willpower to resist falling into her bed, and her life, ever again…

Liza's review:

HOT Secrets is the newest installment in the wonderful Hostile Operations Team series from Lynn Raye Harris. Just went I think the series can't be any more wonderful, we get an new story focusing on another team member. HOT Secrets is Sky "Hacker" Kelly's story and it was non-stop from the very first page.

Sky "Hacker" Kelly is a computer hacker just like his nickname suggests only so much more being Special Ops. He not only has badass computer skills, but has lethal protection skills. The only time in his life since he joined the Army has his life been up in the air was when he was married to his ex-wife Bliss Bennett, another hacker who is for hire to the highest bidder, which now is the CIA. When things go amiss with her current job, Sky is the first person Bliss thinks of to help her out.

I have to say the more I learned about Bliss and Sky's history, the more surprised I was that Sky actually helped her out at all. They both had some major baggage from their time together 4 years ago, and I liked they both had to work through everything at their own pace.  I absolutely loved their banter and chemistry from the moment they saw each other again. OMG I know the situation was super intense, but they made me laugh so much as they picked at each other. I could actually feel how much they both still cared for one another and wanted one another the more time they were together. Smoking hot sex was never far away with the chemistry between these two. Seriously I was surprised they held off as long as they were able to honestly.

I loved we got to see so many of my favorite Hostile Operations Team members for past books in HOT Secrets, but especially Mendez. His leadership to these men and women just add so much to every single story. I love he saw something in Bliss she didn't know she had in herself and knew she would be an asset to H.O.T. I have to say I was somewhat surprised by the CIA contact for Bliss, but not completely. I won't lie, when they met up, I didn't want her anywhere near him as I had a weird feeling about how he was acting. I was so glad she had Sky and so many other team members there to protect her, even as I knew something was going to happen. While I hated what they all went through, I loved that Sky figured out how much Bliss meant to him. 

HOT Secrets was such an amazing sexy and fast-pace story. Lynn Raye Harris once again delivered another winner in her Hostile Operations Team series. I highly recommend this book and series to anyone who loves fast-paced, sexy romantic suspense stories.

DAGGER'S EDGE (BRUTE FORCE #2)

Ivan Resnova wants nothing more than to escape his hard, brutal past. Starting over is not so easy once you've been a powerful crime boss but now, instead of being punished for his alleged crimes, Ivan fears that the one woman he can't forget is in danger of paying the price.

Crimsyn "Syn" Delaney thought the danger she'd faced was over, and that she could resume her life. She never imagined it would return with a vengeance and throw her back into Ivan's world. But when an attempt is made on her life, she needs Ivan more than ever to keep her safe--even if she is in danger of falling deeply and dangerously in love. . .

Nikki’s Review:

I struggled a bit with this one. I absolutely love Lora Leigh's romantic suspense books, but there was something about the hero and heroines relationship that didn't quite pull at me like her other characters in the past. I think it was because it felt somewhat forced. There's tons of lust and sex, but the emotion wasn't quite there.

I liked Journey. She had been handed a crap deal in life. She's never really known love. Her family has always treated her horribly. In spite of that, she's really strong. She's soft where she needed to be; vulnerable when appropriate. I liked the many facets of her personality.

Ivan is your typical over the top alpha male. Lora Leigh's books are always full of those! And I love them! He's a bit of an anti-hero. He kinda toes the line between an honest life and organized crime. 

I liked these two characters separately, but I couldn't connect to them as a couple, at least not easily.

It wouldn't be a Lora Leigh book if it didn't have off the charts smouldering hot sex scenes. I do so look forward to those! 

Overall, the plot was great. I didn't have a clue who the bad guy was. I like being surprised, because it means the author did a great job weaving the mystery storyline. 

I'm really looking forward to the next book in the series. I never miss a book by this amazing author!

A sophisticated version of the chubby, shy girl Blade once knew, Quinn brings out all his protective instincts—as well as a few carnal ones that surprise him.

Blade’s unexpected arrival makes her hope for more than a barren existence in a gilded prison. Until tragedy strikes, and Quinn realizes she’s next on the hit list.

Blade will do anything to shield Quinn from danger and keep her safe. But as they draw closer, an enemy works to flush them out. If he succeeds, he’ll put an end to Blade and Quinn’s budding happiness.

Unless Blade and his SEAL Team strike first…

Liza's Review:

HOT SEAL Target is the newest release from Lynn Raye Harris in her amazing HOT SEAL Team series. I love a reunion story and we totally get that with Adam "Blade" Garrison's story.

Adam and Quinn were friends in high school, but lost touch once he joined the Navy. Quinn was a chubby and shy girl when they knew each other in high school and Adam came to her defense when other students were bullying her. In the years that past, Quinn became a fitness blogger and lost all the excess weight, yet is still very much the same person she was before she lost all the weight. She also ended up married to Hunter Halliday, who Adam is sent to investigate while posing as a bodyguard for Quinn. The fact he is off the HOT books and working for Ian Black as one of Black's Bandits on this job, gave me much concern. Black really doesn't follow the rules the same way the HOT teams do, so I knew things could get a bit crazy.

I loved seeing Blade and Quinn reconnect after being apart for so long. Yes they were only friends years ago, but I could feel their attraction to one another pretty much from the moment they laid eyes on each other. Quinn had married an abusive asshat who was pretty much horrible to everyone who came in contact with him and he was way to controlling with everything that had to do with Quinn. I honestly wanted to knock the crap out of Hunter more than once while reading this book. 

I loved the time Blade and Quinn got to spend together. I knew he would do everything within his power to keep her safe and also knew there was no way they could fight their attraction for long. OMG Blade and Quinn were so freaking hot together, and I loved it all started with a friendship years ago.

I'll be the first to say, I didn't really like Ian Black when he first appeared in the series because I had major trust issues with him. However, he has quickly become one of my favorite characters in this series and I love getting to spend time with him in each book now. I also have to say I want to know more about some of his Bandits we met in this book in future stories. HOT SEAL Target was pretty action packed from start to finish and was a really great romantic suspense story.

I have loved each of the HOT books I've read to date and look forward to each new installment. I love with each new book we get to spend time with team members and their spouses from past books. I can't wait to read what happens next with the series when we get Ryan "Dirty Harry" Callahan's book!

DEEP COVER (LOVE OVER DUTY #3)

ARE THEY IN TOO DEEP?

Ex-Navy SEAL Cabe Moss always comes when called to duty―at all costs. Even though the death of his fiancée nearly destroyed him, Cabe won’t let his past interfere with any work that has to get done. When his latest task pushes him to team up with FBI Agent Amy Murray, a fierce beauty with the undercover skills to match, Cabe must admit that, for the first time in years, he wants to do more than just complete their mission together…

Amy was born ready for this assignment, but working side-by-side with the strong, silent, and frustratingly professional Cabe seems to be the biggest challenge of all. But when the sparks begin to fly―and the stakes rise to dangerous heights―the only thing Amy is left worrying about is how she can resist him. Their lives may be in danger, but their hearts hold the biggest risk of all…

Nikki’s Review:

Oh man, this one may be my favourite in the series! I knew Cabe would bring me to my knees...and I couldn't wait!

Cabe is mourning the death of his fiancée, Jess. He walks through life not fully immersed in it. He's trying to move on, but the thought of it shreds his heart. Until he meets Agent Amy Murray.

Amy is all work and no play. She's an FBI agent with something to prove. But Cabe Moss makes her want to break all her rules and take a risk.

The slow simmer of passion in this book was amazing. It was frustrating at times because I wanted them to get down to the hot and sweaty stuff. But they both needed to tread a bit carefully. Sweet baby Jesus, when Cabe and Amy finally hit the sheets, it took my damn breath away! Cabe has a deliciously filthy mouth. And he uses it for more than whispering sweet nothings. 

I was totally caught up in the undercover mission they were both working on. I felt like I was trying to solve a puzzle by gathering the bits of clues that were thrown my way. As much as I liked that aspect of the story, I appreciated that it didn't take away from the romance.

Every time Scarlett Cole let us "see" inside Cabe's head, my heart both broke and mended. His difficulty keeping Jess in the past and allowing Amy in was so hard to read. I hurt for him. The journey to his heart healing, while sad at times, was beautiful.

I appreciated that Amy wasn't meant to replace Jess, or even erase her from Cabe's memory. She was meant to make Cabe happy again; meant to help him find a new and different happiness with her. 

The chemistry between these two was powerful. They complimented each other well in their careers and personal lives. Cabe had to fight his need to shield her from everything. He knew he couldn't clip her wings when it came to her job. That just made me love him more.

Scarlett Cole never fails to weave an amazing story that grips me from the first page. Her writing is a source of comfort for me. I know I can expect to be fulfilled in every way when I dive into one of the worlds she's created. 

Ya, I really do think that this book is my favourite in the series. But don't get me wrong, I love my men Six and Mac! You need to read their books! You could technically read this book as a stand alone, but don't cheat yourself out of enjoying the first two books. Read them all. In order of course, because my eye twitches when series are read out of order! 

Now I need to beg Scarlett for books for Harley and Lite!

WANTING YOU (HOLLYWOOD HEAT #2)

No celebrity secret stays buried for long in USA Today bestselling author Leslie A. Kelly's sexy and suspenseful Hollywood Heat series.
A cold case is suddenly too hot to handle

Police officer Rowan Winchester wants nothing to do with his family's A-list Hollywood legacy. Working with the LAPD is his way of atoning for the Winchesters' dark and secretive past. And, right now, the last thing Rowan needs is true-crime novelist Evie Fleming nosing around the most notorious deaths in Los Angeles - including the ones that haunt his own family. 

To make things worse, he's torn between wanting the wickedly smart writer out of his city... and just plain wanting her.

While researching her latest book, Evie suspects that a dangerous new killer is prowling the City of Angels. Now she just has to convince the devastatingly handsome cop that she's right. Soon Evie and Rowan are working together to try to find the killer, even as their attraction ignites.

But when the killer hones in on Evie, she and Rowan realize they'll have to solve this case fast if they want to stay alive.

Liza's review:

Leslie Kelly has been an auto-buy author for me since I read the very first Harlequin book by her years ago. While I adore her super sexy books, I have to say her romantic suspense books have always been my favorites. Wanting You hit on all my favorite things about a romantic suspense with the action starting on the very first page. I'm not going to lie, I wanted Rowan's story as soon as we met him in Watching You. I always find a favorite character when I know there is a trilogy, and usually have to wait for the third book to get that story. Was so happy Rowan's book was second in the series. 

Rowan Winchester was one of the famous Winchester kids of Hollywood legend, but now is a police officer for the LAPD. When he stepped up to rescue Evie Fleming from an attack on the streets of LA, they both worked on the theory it was a random attack. However, as Evie is in Hollywood to look into many famous unsolved mysteries, the LAPD soon assigns Rowan to be her bodyguard of sorts. Let me just say the chemistry between Rowan and Evie was there pretty much from the very first. I loved seeing them move from cautious friends to lovers. It really did give me all the feels.

 While the romance between them was strong, the suspense was the biggest focus of this book and I loved every single second of it. Just when I thought Ms. Kelly was going one way with the story, she totally and completely threw me off. I've been reading romantic suspense books for years, and have to say Watching You was one of the best ones I've ever read. I honestly make it my goal to figure out all the thought process of the bad guys before the reveal, and while I did have part of my theory correct, I was completely wrong in my final guess. I love when an author pulls me so deeply into the story, I don't want the story to end.

I also can't wait to find out the final truth to the mystery surrounding the Winchester family and the death of Harry Baker. I'm impatiently awaiting the final pieces of the puzzle in Waiting For You, which is currently scheduled for release in January 2019. I highly recommend Wanting You to fans of romantic suspense and have to say it is my favorite romantic suspense book I've read this year.
