She changed her name. Her look. Her location. But what if running away isn’t enough to save her?
Physical therapist Scarlett Reed is looking for a fresh start when she takes a job in another state. Her rules are simple: don’t get close to anyone, and flee at the first sign of danger.
Wounded soldier Malcolm McCoy plans to work hard in rehab so he can get back to saving the world. He isn’t looking for a relationship, but something about prickly Scarlett intrigues him more than it should.
When she needs a place to stay, Mal offers her the apartment over his garage—and finds it nearly impossible to keep his hands off his sassy, sexy neighbor. Scarlett knows she shouldn’t get involved, but a little friends with benefits action can’t hurt.
Or can it? Someone in Scarlett’s past circles closer, waiting for a chance to strike. Mal will do whatever it takes to protect her—but it might not be enough to survive what’s coming…
As soon as they think they’ve weathered the storm, they’ll discover it’s only beginning.

Liza's Review:
HOT Storm is the newest book from Lynn Raye Harris in her Hostile Operations Team - Strike Team 2 series. I adore this series of books, especially getting to see favorite characters in each new book. HOT Storm is Malcolm "Mal" McCoy's book, and I have to say I totally fell in love with Mal in this book.
Mal totally believes he is in love with his teammate's fiance, yet has a pretty strong connection to Scarlett Reed, his physical therapist from the moment they meet. Scarlett has moved away from all she has known because of her abusive ex-boyfriend, and isn't even going by her legal name. As her ex was military and in a special forces division, I worried she wouldn't give Mal a real chance when they first connected. I loved Mal seemed to help Scarlett come out of her shell a bit, and they had the best banter. I love a smoking hot connection between the main characters, but I also love when they can pick and joke around as well. Mal and Scarlett had it all...seriously smoking hot chemistry and all the jokes and laughter too. They gave me all the happy feels as a couple.
Scarlett's ex Josh was pure evil, and yet I knew he would show back up. I have to say I always hate the bad guy, but her ex took it to the next level. There was seriously no way Josh could ever be redeemed, and I was really hoping someone would put a bullet through is brain pretty much from the moment he appeared on the page. I loved how hard Mal and his team worked to find Scarlett and get her out of a horrific situation. Scarlett showed over and over again she was such a strong woman by not only surviving, but thriving after the hell Josh had put her through.
Lynn Raye Harris continues to pull me into her Hostile Operations Team world and keeps me wanting more. While there were parts of HOT Storm that were really difficult to read, I still adored this story. Ms. Harris is a master with her romantic suspense stories, and I can't wait to visit with all my favorite characters soon.
