HOT SEAL DEVOTION (HOT SEAL TEAM #8)

She’ll ask him to marry her. And pray he says yes…

Kayla wants a daddy for her little girl. Navy SEAL Zack is perfect for the job. Kayla’s made wrong choices before, but she knows this one is right. Zack’s a strong, honorable man who will keep her baby safe. 

Zack’s been twisted up inside from the moment he laid eyes on Kayla. It’s been months, and he still can’t untangle his feelings. Especially after the single night they shared. A night that took their relationship out of the friend zone and put it firmly into the hot zone. 

When Kayla proposes a marriage of convenience, Zack won’t agree to a name-only arrangement. If he’s going to marry Kayla, and be a dad to little Ana, then it’s all or nothing. 

But when Kayla’s past returns, threatening the life they’re building, Zack will sacrifice everything to protect his new family from harm…

Liza's Review:

With HOT SEAL Devotion readers finally get Kayla and Zack/Neo's story! I won't lie, I've been wanting this story since they first met and it was worth the wait.

Zack and Kayla had one night together and then she avoided him like the plague, which is pretty hard considering her sister is engaged to one of Zack's teammates, and they are all thrown together often. However, when Kayla's past comes back to haunt her, she knows Zack is the one man she can trust to protect not only herself, but her baby daughter Ana. Zack is all in on marrying Kayla and becoming a father to Ana, but won't agree to a marriage in name-only, and the sparks were strong from the very first.

The romance between Zack and Kayla is so strong in this story. I loved they both finally expressed their true feelings for one another. I also adored how quickly Zack took on the roll of dad to Ana. Kayla, Zack and Ana gave me all the happy feels as they became a family. I loved the chemistry between Kayla and Zack and fell in love with them as a couple.

Of course the reason Kayla asked Zack to marry her doesn't go away just because they got married. The Kings of Doom are back and want Kayla to pay for the money the MC lost when her ex was put in jail causing the club to disband. Everything having to do with the Kings of Doom was super intense and had me on the edge of my seat. Bring on the HOT team and Black's Bandits, who have learned to work together when needed. I absolutely adored the camaraderie between these groups. The members of the HOT teams are like family and that is just another reason these stories keep me coming back for more.

Lynn Raye Harris gives her readers another wonderful installment in the HOT SEAL series. HOT SEAL Devotion is a story full of emotions and action that will keep the reader engaged until the very last page.

Liza's Review:

The HOT SEAL Team books along with the Hostile Operations Team original series of books are some of my favorite romantic suspense/military romances on the market today. Lynn Raye Harris pulls me in from the very first page with each new story, and I love we get updates of prior couples with each new book. HOT SEAL Hero is Ryan "Dirty Harry" Callahan's book and it was another winner in the series.

Chloe Cooper is such a strong woman. She is on the run from her abusive ex, and has moved across the country to start her life over. Lucky for her, when she goes to get her neighbor to move his truck, she meets Ryan Callahan in all his glory, and he immediately steps up to help when she needs it. I felt a connection between Ryan and Chloe from the moment they met. I love that Ryan was so protective of Chloe from day one and especially loved he let her set the pace of their relationship. There was some serious heat between them, yet a sweetness to their relationship as well and both aspects worked for me. I really felt like while they did rush into the physical aspect of their relationship at first, once they backed off a bit, I felt like their strong friendship made their romantic relationship even stronger.

Of course we all knew the dangerous ex would make an appearance again before the end, which gave us time with Mendez and Ian Black on page!!! My love for these 2 men is strong and I love seeing them interact with one another. I love when we get to see the Teams at work, and seeing Ryan and his team work together to find Chloe and bring her back had me on the edge of my seat. I loved it!!!

HOT SEAL Hero was a really wonderful story. Lynn Raye Harris is one of my go-to authors for romantic suspense, and she gave me all I was looking for and more with this story. Readers who love romance, action, and lots of sexy soldiers will love this latest installment in the HOT SEAL Team series.

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!

HOT SEAL REDEMPTION (HOT SEAL TEAM #5)

Bailey Jones doesn't know jack about babies, but she knows how much it sucks to have a deadbeat father. So when her sister drops off her newborn baby and then disappears, Bailey is ready and willing to confront anyone, including a six-foot-two, sexier-than-sin Navy SEAL sniper, and make him do his duty.

Alexei "Camel" Kamarov is not the sort of man to carelessly father a kid, but as the oldest of six, he does know a thing or two about babies. The firebrand on his doorstep might have mistakenly tagged him as the baby daddy, but Bailey is cute, and Alexei is more than willing to give her a hands-on class in Baby 101.

When a ruthless criminal comes looking for the missing sister--putting Bailey and the baby in danger--the situation escalates. Bringing them under his roof and enlisting his HOT teammates to help find Bailey's sister are easy. But as Alexei and Bailey draw closer, passions erupt and feelings tangle.

That's nothing compared to the danger lurking in the shadows--and the test that awaits them both. Bailey will need to give everything she's got to redeem Alexei's faith in love. And he'll have to move heaven and earth to save her--before someone takes her away from him for good...

Liza's Review:

HOT SEAL Redemptionis another winner from Lynn Raye Harris. I have to say I've come to love the HOT SEAL Team books every bit as much as the original HOT Team books. With HOT SEAL Redemption, we get Alexei "Camel" Kamarov's book.

I will say right now I fell head over heels for Alexei as soon as he took in Bailey and her niece Ana. Seriously, there really is nothing sexier than a big strong man knowing how to take care of a little baby. All the sighs so many times as I read this book. I also had to chuckle at the fact that Bailey didn't even have a clue how to change a diaper without watching a YouTube video first. I love killing the stereotype that just because Bailey is a woman she would know all about babies. 

I felt the connection between Alexei and Bailey pretty much from the moment they met as she was accusing him of being her sister's "baby daddy". I loved he was so protective of Bailey and Ana from the moment they met and he made sure they stayed under his protection while trying to find Bailey's sister Kayla. Alexei is totally an Alpha Male, so his protective instincts are on high alert when he feels like he is protecting his own, and I loved how he pretty much lost his mind when Bailey was working making sure no one touched her inappropriately. Seriously he was so sexy, yet I loved that Bailey had no problem making sure he knew she was capable of doing her job and taking care of herself.

I can't say enough how smoking hot the chemistry was between Alexei and Bailey. OMG when they finally made love for the first time, my kindle screen fogged up and I had to fan myself. So freaking sexy!!! Even when they both were saying they were only in it temporarily, I could totally tell they both had already started falling for each other. I absolutely loved them as a couple!

The threat to Kayla, Ana, and even Bailey had me on the edge. I honestly don't usually read many MC books because of the violence in them, yet the military romances have never bothered me, even though they can sometimes have some of the same elements of violence. I hated Kayla's ex from the moment he appeared on the page, and worried more for Bailey really than Kayla, as Kayla was so well hidden for the longest time. I have to say the scenes with James Dunn and the MC that involved Bailey were really rough for me to read. They were extremely well done, and very true to life, but still super rough. I loved it when Alexei and his crew once again showed up to take care of business with the assistance of none other than Ian Black. I have to say I'm really hoping we are going to get his book sooner rather than later.

HOT SEAL Redemptionwas one of those books I couldn't read fast enough, even as I didn't want the story to end. With each new book in the entire Hostile Operations Team series, I fall more in love with all the characters. I truly believe each of these books can be read as a stand-alone story. However, to really understand the workings of all the team members, I highly recommend reading each book in the series in order.

HOT SEAL BRIDE (HOT SEAL TEAM #4)

Sold to the highest bidder…

For the past fourteen years, Princess Antonella Rossi has been a virtual prisoner. She has no friends, no fun, and she’s not allowed to leave her aunt and uncle’s Virginia compound without an escort.

But today is her wedding day. A rich sheikh has bought her virginity, and with it her freedom. Any hope of independence Ella’s ever cherished will disappear the instant she faces him across the altar. With time running out and the wedding party gathering, Ella seizes the opportunity to run as far and fast as she can.

Navy SEAL Cash “Money” McQuaid isn’t looking for trouble, but trouble always seems to find him. This time trouble is five foot four and wearing a wedding dress. Rescuing a runaway princess has consequences though, and with his face plastered on the evening news and his career on the line, he realizes there’s only one way out of this mess—he has to marry her!

It’s a marriage in name only, just until he can clear his name and win Ella the freedom she seeks. But shacking up with a gorgeous virgin isn’t as easy as it seems, especially when the sparks snapping between them are hotter and more dangerous than anything Cash has ever experienced. By the time he realizes it’s too late to resist his virgin bride, an unseen enemy is intent on taking her away from him.

Cash is gonna need all his skills—and his friends on the Hostile Operations Team—in order to rescue his princess bride and give her the happily-ever-after she deserves.

The Hostile Operations Team is a covert military Black Ops unit. Their motto is Where None Dare. H.O.T. operators come from all branches of the military. The only criteria for membership: they must be the best of the best!

Liza's Review:


I think part of why I couldn't wait for Cash to meet the woman who was his match was because he gave all the other guys such a hard time when they fell in love and always said it would never happen to him. Enter Princess Antonella Rossi and all bets were off. I loved Ella from the moment she appeared on the page. She was such a dichotomy of innocence and sexiness. She has been basically kept hostage by her aunt and uncle since her parents were killed and hasn't been allowed to be around others and her education was limited to what her aunt and uncle allowed. Yet part of her education came from her aunt showing her porn to prepare her for the wedding night for her arranged marriage with the sheikh her family had basically sold her to. Luckily, when she runs away, Cash is the man to appear to help her escape from her family.

I loved Cash and Ella together pretty much from the moment they met. I really think they both started falling for one another right away, even if Ella promised she wouldn't fall for him and Cash promised he would never fall for anyone. I felt an instant connection between Cash and Ella. Yes it started out as a friendship, but it was quickly obvious how attracted they were to one another. I loved how much honor Cash had when it came to keeping his hands off Ella so she could save her virginity for her husband and adored just as much Ella driving him crazy trying to rid herself of said virginity. All I can say is when they finally got together the screen on my kindle fogged up it was so freaking hot! I knew Cash would freak out at some point about his growing feelings for Ella and he didn't disappoint me. He also made amends in a huge way. Only made me fall a little bit more in love with Cash to see him finally fall in love.

Honestly the only thing I didn't love about his book was Ella's family. Her aunt and uncle were pretty much reprehensible and I wanted to smack them around so many times for how they treated Ella and how they lied to Ella. I love the Ella instantly became family to all the HOT members on Cash's team and she finally had people in her life that cared for her. 

HOT SEAL Bride is another winner in the HOT SEAL Team series. I've loved each and every book in the HOT and HOT SEAL series and drop everything to read each new installment as soon as they hit my kindle. Lynn Raye Harris has defiantly found her true voice with these stories.
