A HOT X-MAS MIRACLE

Twenty years ago, badass military commander John “Viper” Mendez lost the love of his life. But fate brought them back together when he discovered she was still alive. Now they live a happily married life - and Kat’s pregnant. As Christmas approaches, they’re more in love than ever and looking forward to welcoming their new baby. 

But old secrets begin to resurface and old enemies might be coming back to haunt them. The only way to know is to hire rogue mercenary Ian Black to do some dirty work while Mendez stays close to his wife and keeps her safe - and keeps the investigation a secret from her. 

Christmas is a time of miracles. A season of snowy promises and gifts from the heart. When the holiday lights twinkle brightest, Mendez will either go on the offensive to save his family - or discover a truth that’ll change their lives forever.

**This story is a sequel to the events of HOT VALOR, Book 11 in the Hostile Operations Team Series. If you haven’t read that book, you’ll probably be lost. I highly recommend you read it before this Christmas story!

Liza' Review:

I absolutely adore the Hostile Operations Team books and all the spinoff series of books by Lynn Raye Harris. John "Viper" Mendez remains my absolute favorite character in the series, with Ian Black as a close second, so when I saw Viper had a Christmas story this year, I was totally and completely over the moon. Seriously, Ms. Harris gave her readers the very best early Christmas present this year!

I loved every single moment of A HOT X-mas Miracle. As the story centers around Mendez and Cat and the pending birth of their new baby, I was so happy to get to revisit these characters and see where life had taken them since HOT VALOR. I also loved getting to spend time with all the HOT family members, and especially Ian Black. I feel like I'm spending time with friends when reading each new installment in this series. Ms. Harris totally delivered with a family Christmas story with a few surprises thrown in along the way. I can't wait to see what happens next with the Hostile Operations Team and their families in upcoming books.

HOT MESS (HOSTILE OPERATIONS TEAM)

It starts with a single kiss… it’ll end with complete surrender. 

Georgeanne Hayes is his best friend’s little sister. Off limits. Too perfect for the likes of Black Ops soldier Sam McKnight—no matter how badly he wants to corrupt her. 

Georgie has wanted Sam for as long as she can remember. But all he’s ever done is push her away. 

Now that someone wants her dead, he’ll fight to save her—and he won’t give in to the need that haunts his every waking moment. 

His life far is too dangerous. Too unpredictable. 

She plans to convince him he’s wrong. That she’s strong enough. She’ll fight for him, and she’ll win. 

She has to… because her very survival might depend on it. 

**This is an updated story! If you read and loved the old HOT MESS, you don't have to buy this one. If you were left wanting a little bit more -- more suspense, more action, more emotion -- then this one might be for you. This book is updated with over 10k words of new material! Because of that, it's being published as an expanded edition rather than the same book.**

Liza’s Review:

I read both the original release and the extended version of this story and I have to say my original review still rings very true. I do feel like the suspense elements were turned up a bit more in the extended version, but the romance for me stayed the main focus and I adored every single moment of reconnecting with Georgie and Sam. 

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 still 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 more mystery and suspense in the extended version of the story, A very good addition to this series and a great fast read for anyone looking for a sexy romance. In fact re-reading Georgie and Sam’s story really only made me want to go back and reread the entire series of stories in the Hostile Operations Team series.

HOT JUSTICE (HOSTILE OPERATIONS TEAM #14)

She's searching for justice. He's searching for peace. 

What they need is each other. They just don't know it yet...

Dean "Wolf" Garner is the kind of guy who loves hard and leaves fast. From the moment he rescues reporter Haylee Jamison in the Guatemalan jungle, he can't stop thinking about the dark-haired beauty. His life is too complicated for romantic entanglements though--and not even a woman like Haylee can convince him otherwise.  

Haylee wasn't supposed to be in the drug cartel's compound, but she was captured while on a mission of her own: find the trail of fake opioids entering the US and halt the operation. Back home in DC, Haylee can't stop thinking about the gorgeous military operator who rocked her world for one steamy night before leaving. But when she uncovers a conspiracy and finds herself in danger, there's only one man she trusts to keep her safe.

It's easy for Wolf to risk his life to protect Haylee and give her the justice she desires. The hard part is taking a chance and admitting what's in his heart before it's too late. 
Before he loses the best thing that's ever happened to him.

Liza's Review:

Hot Justice is the newest release in the Hostile Operations Team series from Lynn Raye Harris. Ms. Harris has given her readers another wonderful story with Hot Justice and yet another couple to fall for with Haylee and Wolf (Dean).

Haylee Jamison is on a mission to discover who is behind the fake opioids coming into the US that killed her best friend Nicole. When she is taken hostage along with another group of Americans in a drug compound, she is lucky enough to meet and be rescued Dean "Wolf" Garner and other members of H.O.T. I loved that even when Haylee knew her life was on the line she still fought back and didn't give up her hope for bringing the leader of the cartel to justice for her friend and other addicts like Nicole.

Wolf and Haylee had a pretty instant connection. I think the fact they both had personal reasons for wanting opioids off the street was part of it, but really they just seemed to click from the moment Wolf helped save Haylee. Haylee was a fighter and so strong and I loved that Wolf really saw who she was from the very beginning. The fact they had smoking hot chemistry from the beginning and had a hard time keeping their hands off each other, made me fall for them faster.

Hot Justice was as suspenseful as each of the books in the Hostile Operations Team books. However, I really did find more humor, especially between Haylee and Wolf in this book. I have to say it really made me love their romance a bit more. I love when a really serious story has moments of levity and Hot Justice had several along the way. I have to say, while I knew I didn't trust one particular character early on, I really had no reason other than instinct I guess. How this character acted as the story progressed completely surprised me. I love when an author keeps me guessing and throws in a curveball I'm not expecting...even when I know I should be. 

Hot Justice was a wonderful addition to the Hostile Operations Team series. As always, as soon as I finished reading the newest book, I'm already anxiously awaiting the next book in the series. I highly recommend this book and series to any readers who enjoy hot military heroes with strong suspense elements to the stories.

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.

HOT ANGEL (HOSTILE OPERATIONS TEAM #12)

She’s damaged…

Brooke Sullivan’s carefully ordered existence is spiraling out of control. A year ago, she was violently abducted by a terrorist group and nearly killed. She’s worked hard to get her life back on track—moving to a new house, changing careers, going on a couple of dates. When she witnesses a murder, she’s plunged into a new nightmare. And as the past threatens to repeat itself, she’s not sure she’ll survive this time.

He’s ruthless…

Cade “Saint” Rodgers never forgot the beautiful girl he talked to at the wedding of his commanding officer. Now she’s in trouble, and he’s the one tasked with protecting her. Brooke is terrified of men like him—a Black Ops soldier for whom violence is a way of life—which makes falling for her a terrible idea. But that won’t stop Cade from using every sensual trick he’s got to make her believe anything is possible if only she wants it badly enough.

Together, they’re combustible…

As danger draws closer, it’ll take all of Cade’s strength—and all of Brooke’s determination—to learn how to let go of the past and trust each other. But it might not be enough. To keep her safe, he may have to let her go forever…

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:

The Hostile Operations Team books and their spinoff series with the SEALS remain my favorite books from Lynn Raye Harris. These books are like crack to me and I have to devour each one as soon as it hits my kindle. HOT Angel pulled me in from the very first page!

Brooke Sullivan is still recovering from being abducted and held hostage over a year ago. She has moved into a condo and gotten a great dog, Max, but really hasn't dated anyone she was really interested in since she got home. She has only really dated one guy who she isn't attracted to that makes her feel safe. 

Brooke is attracted to Cade "Saint" Rodgers, and he doesn't make her feel safe in the least. She is insanely attracted to him and while she feels safe enough to engage in texting conversations, Cade is such a big man she is a bit intimidating to Brooke in the beginning. I honestly loved they started their relationship via texting. Cade knew Brooke was extra special and he wanted her in his life, and I loved he let her set the pace of how they moved along. I honestly felt like they connected so well and so fast because Brooke had that initial distance of text only that she started to trust Cade way faster than she would have based upon his career and all she had been through with her kidnapping.

When Brooke's neighbor Scott is murdered, Brooke is the only person who might have seen the killer leaving their floor. Scott was completely fixated on Brooke and totally believed there was more to their relationship than Brooke saw. I loved that when Brooke realized she needed someone, her first thought was Cade rather than her best friend Grace. I felt like this was really when Brooke and Cade's relationship started moving into more of a couple than friends only. 

I loved Brooke and Cade as a couple. They had amazing chemistry together, but it was when Brooke opened up and shared everything that had gone on when she was abducted that I knew they would make it as a couple. I absolutely loved Cade and Brooke as a couple. While she didn't love Cade's job, she totally accepted how necessary it was and how great he was at it. I knew at some point Cade would have to protect Brooke once her neighbor was murdered, and I honestly fell in love with the HOT guys all over again as they worked together to rescue Brooke from the bad guys.

HOT Angel is absolutely another winner in the Hostile Operations Team series. Lynn Raye Harris once again gives her readers a sexy romance with action that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat.

HOT SEAL Team #4

Contemporary Romance/Romantic Suspense

Liza's Review:

Let me just say right up front HOT SEAL Bride is one of my favorite books ever written by Lynn Raye Harris. Seriously, I read every single chance I had as soon as it hit my kindle. I've loved Cash "Money" McQuaid since he first appeared on the page and was so glad to see him get his story.

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.
