Hot Mess

Hot Mess is a novella length book in the Hostile Operations Team (HOT) series from Lynn Raye Harris. The release date was September 28, 2013.  From the author’s website.~

English professor Dr. Georgeanne Hayes has a problem. Her star pupil, an Army sergeant who works in a Top Secret government program, is missing—and someone tried to push her in front of a train last night.

Sam “Knight Rider” McKnight is used to looking out for Georgie. When they were kids, she was just his best friend’s baby sister. But Georgie’s not a baby anymore and Sam is getting some very male—and very dirty—thoughts about the girl he knows he can never have.

When someone threatens Georgie’s life again, Sam will do anything necessary to keep her safe. Even if it means spending the next few days locked up in a remote house on Maryland’s Eastern Shore with her.

Sam might be used to denying himself what he wants, but he’s about to find out that being cooped up with Georgie will push him to the limit. And maybe beyond.

I really enjoyed the first book in the HOT series from Lynn Raye Harris and was excited to get a review copy from the author through NetGalley. 

I really loved both Georgie and Sam in this book. Sam has been fighting his attraction to his best friend's little sister since they were teens. It was totally worth the wait for them both when he finally gave in to their mutual attraction. Hot and sexy describes them as a couple. The fact they were on the run and Sam was protecting Georgie only made it hotter.

While not as suspenseful as the first book in the series, I enjoyed the romance between Georgie and Sam being the focus of this story. There was still some mystery and suspense in this story, but I felt like it was more of a romance with suspenseful elements than an actual romantic suspense. Still a very good addition to this series and a great fast read for anyone looking for a sexy romance.
