Angelica Turner’s life is in danger. If she wants to survive, she’ll have to turn to a man with violence in his eyes and death in his soul. A man she desires, yet desperately needs to resist if she doesn’t want her shattered heart again. Hardened mercenary Colton Duchaine has wanted Angie since he first laid eyes on her, but he knows he’s the wrong kind of man for an innocent woman like her. His … like her. His life is too dangerous, too unpredictable. He can never settle down.
But when someone wants Angie silenced, Colt will do whatever it takes to keep her alive. And when she’s safe, he’ll get out of her life for good.
Turns out that walking away is easier said than done. Angie is his—and Colt will stop at nothing to claim her for his own.

Lynn Raye Harris is back with a real page-turner. Clear your schedule for this one!
“I thought I’d walk in here and you’d be done with me. Like the look on your face would tell me you’d gotten what you wanted and now you were done.”
“I’m not done with you, minette. I’m addicted to you.”
I absolutely love Angie and Colt. After all the awkwardness is gone, they are explosive together!
Angie has always loved numbers. It is her true passion. But when something doesn’t add up on an account she’s taken over, and people start disappearing, she knows she’s in trouble. What has she stumbled upon that has put a target on her back? It’s worse than she ever imagined and she just might be the next to disappear. Forever.
Colt’s spidey-senses started tingling the minute Angie mentioned the problems she was having reconciling that spreadsheet. But when the pieces fall in to place, he knows Angie is in deeper than she could ever think possible. He’ll keep her safe, even if it means his life. She’s finally his, and there is no way he’s losing her now.
I love Colt! There’s so much more to this brawny, hot man than he lets on!! And Angie? I’m so proud of her for fighting back!! You go girl!!! I can’t wait for the next book!!
This was riveting, knowing there’s trouble coming, but not the when, who or why exactly kept me flipping those pages at every opportunity. Angie bows up when needed, and Colt is more than enamoured of her. Their love was slowly brought to a sizzle.
A stand alone but best read in order just because it is more everything, and all of it good.
As always, another sexy thriller from one of my favorite romantic suspense/ military romance authors. Enjoy!
If you’re in the mood for a hot military romance with lots of sexy chemistry, nail-biting suspense, and thrilling action, you have to check out this newest book by Lynne Raye Harris!
I love all things Lynn Raye Harris and her latest book, Black out, Book 3 in the Black’s Bandits, is a book I not just wanted but needed! High action, sexy romance, a badd ass hero and a smart, strong heroine. Lynn Raye Harris is one of the best authors of hot military romance!
This is my first book by this author and also the first book in the series that I have read, so I jumped in a little blind. However this did not deter me and it did not take long for Angie and Colt to have me captivated by their story. A book full of intrigue, suspense and love. Angie is a character with plenty of strength and Colt is the man that wants to protect her and love her all at once. This fast paced romance is one full of passion, mystery and it will have you gripped to the pages to the very end. After reading this third book in the series, I am heading back for the first two books as I am now addicted to the Black Bandits.
Check out Black Out from Lynn Raye Harris! No one does action-packed romantic suspense quite like this.
My favorite of the Black’s Bandits books thus far. Angie, the heroine, was a terrific character! And Colt Duchaine (protective stud that he was 😉 ) knew it and appreciated her for who she was.
We met Angie in an earlier tale as well as Colton. I love how Ms. Harris just builds in her world. The “dance” these two do around each other is worth watching. I enjoy the character and world building and would gladly let Colton cook for me as well speak a little French.
Black’s Bandits are Top Notch
Colt and Angie finally find their way to each other after her ignoring him for what feels like months on end
Angie takes over some accounts when one of their accountants goes missing from the firm she works at. When she discovers discrepancies she mentions them to Colt which has his internal radar going off and when it appears someone wants to break into her home, Colt pulls out all the stops to protect her
A wonderful story and I loved finding out more about Colt and his secret of where he comes from I hope Ian Black’s story is next because I feel desperate after all this time to learn more about him and the elusive Calypso/ Natasha
I LOVED IT!
I’m not surprised that this new BDI series is so good. Lynn Raye Harris can make a phone book an exciting adventure! This story sucks you in right from the beginning and is a thrill ride completely to the end.
I love Angie’s determination to take control of her life and will not allow anyone to take advantage of her ever again and I appreciate how Colton is respectful of her attitude instead of offended by it. These two seem like polar opposites with Colton being a “spy” as Angie has decided, and she is an accountant with a talent for analytics. How could they possible find any common ground?
Both are dedicated to their work. Colton lives to help rid the world of the nasties that prey on the innocent, Angie analyzes the data and finds the anomalies that don’t fit, and both want a positive result. It’s no secret that they are attracted to each other. Colton is a fierce warrior when the job calls for it, but when it comes to Angie, he’s all about taking care of her and protecting her, no matter what especially now that someone thinks she knows something and people start disappearing.
This story has it all, suspense, action-packed, danger, and murder. It also has the sweet, romantic vibes that we’ve come to love in these amazing stories. Also included is the elite team at BDFI assisting in keeping the Russian mob from getting away with corruption, money laundering and the mayhem that surrounds the situation.
This is one of those great books that you read in one sitting without really realizing it and when you finish, you crave more! I can’t wait to see what comes next!
I’m a huge fan of Lyn Rae Harris and I am
always amazed with each of her new books how she just keeps getting better! This 3rd installment in the new Black Bandits series revolves around Colt and Angie, friends of Jace and Maddy for the 1st Black Bandits book.
These two have some history between them, Angie blames herself for him getting shot and Colt doesn’t think he’s the type of man she deserves because of the dangerous world he occupies. Lynn Rae Harris takes these two characters on a slow to medium burn that steps from shy and hesitant to be around each other to friends to oh so much more. The road to a HEA takes some twists and turns that help define who these characters are and how they feel for each other.
Yet another stellar read from this author, another tantalizing peek into Ian Black and his possible leading lady, and some appearances from Maddy/Jace and Bret/Tallie make this a very enjoyable read. I was lucky enough to receive an ARC from the author.
I’ve come to love the Black’s Bandits series every bit as much as the Hostile Operations Team series and the SEAL Team series of books from Lynn Raye Harris. I’ve wanted Colt and Angie to get together since we first met them and can only say it was totally worth the wait!
I loved Black Out from start to finish. I literally hated to put this book down as I was reading and really wished I could have read non-stop until I was finished. There has always been chemistry between Colt and Angie, and the fact their best friends Jace and Maddy are in a relationship, and keep throwing them together made me laugh out loud. I honestly loved the growth of Angie’s character so much over this series. She really didn’t seem that strong when we first met her in in Black List. I felt like she slowly was progressing to a strong woman, and she absolutely blew me away with her strength by the end of Black Out.
I have loved Colt from the first. Seriously the strong and yummy men Ian Black has working for him are just too Alpha for words…but in a really good way. Colt has the protective instinct I feel like all the men in these books have, and he wants to protect Angie from day one. I kinda loved the butted heads a bit in the beginning, but also loved Angie was stronger each passing day she spent with Colt. The chemistry between Colt and Angie built from the moment they met, and only got stronger after they made love for the first. Seriously all the happy sighs for this couple.
The suspense element was very strong in this story, and had a different feel from some of the other books in the series. It started from the very first page and I was pretty much on the edge of my seat trying to piece all the puzzle pieces together. I love when a book keeps me guessing, and Black Out did in spades. I also have to say I loved the time we got to spend with Ian Black. Seriously I’m counting down the minutes until we get his book! It’s like I’m waiting for Mendez’s book all over again (which was more than worth the wait)!!!
Black Out was definitely another winner from Lynn Raye Harris. Honestly, it is one of my favorite books I’ve ever read from her. I highly recommend this book and series to all fans of romantic suspense. I promise you won’t be disappointed!
Rating: 5 Stars (A)

If you’ve been reading the series you’ve met Angie and Colt already and you know coming in the interest for each other is also there….if you haven’t, you really don’t need the back story to read this one. It just makes you feel like you’re coming home again! Colt and Angie try to deny the growing feelings they have for one another but when Angie finds herself in danger, Colt is the one who steps up to keep her safe. And neither can deny how they feel when faced with each other every day. Although you have lots of intrigue and drama, edge of your seat suspense, you also have a wonderful story of love folded throughout. I can’t wait until a new story comes out!
Angie and Colt.
Now I have loved these two since the beginning and the dance and run has been fun but now is the time for Colt to catch and secure Angie if he hopes for any kind of future with her.
Poor Ang has had a bad run lately and it’s still a bit rocky even with Colt hanging around.
I love these two Ang is struggling to find herself again after a few scares and Colt the big adorable lug head just isn’t convinced he can have his awesome job and the woman he has the total hots for…
I love how Ian is always playing matchmaker in the background, giving his guys subtle and not so subtle pushes when they need them…lol
Black Out was a gripping tale from start to finish with some wonderful, steamy moments.
YES, the perfect mix of chemistry, suspense and action!! Opposites attract and boy do they attract. Angelica and Colton are a great match. Adding this series to my favorites.
I really liked this book. I really loved the interaction between all the characters. I was on edge of my seat wondering what will happen next.
I loved Colt and Angie together, it may of taken them a while to become a couple. But I loved the build up.
Lynn Raye Harris did amazing job with this book. She knows how to make you hooked to book.
Black Out by Lynn Raye Harris is book Three in the Black’s Bandits Series. This is the story of Colton Duchaine and Angelica Turner. I did feel you could make this a standalone book if you wish to do so.
Angelica hasn’t had it easy with a past kidnapping and then some bad relationship choices. So when Colton enter her worlds she tried to protect her heart from him by being standoffish which is in her character becomes she is somewhat shy. Colton has been attracted to Angelica from the start but knows his job as a mercenary is to dangerous for such a innocent women. But when Angelica’s life becomes in danger both have to move past their feelings of trying to keep away from one another to totally become involved to keep her safe.
Enjoyed their story and hope to read more from this author.
Black out is Lynn Raye Harris’s latest covert ops adventure that kept me wondering what would happen next after Angie’s co-worker suddenly disappears and she realizes that what she knows could get her killed. While Colt and his fellow operatives try to figure out what’s going on Colt and Angie’s personal relationship slowly grows from awkward to friends and then to confidants. Just a hint…they have sizzling chemistry! I especially enjoyed Angie’s transformation from having been a helpless victim to her dedication to keeping her wits about her and trying to get herself out of the dangerous situation she finds herself in. Lynn’s books feature the perfect combination of sexy kick-butt Alpha male, a sweet, sexy and intelligent heroine and a guaranteed fast paced read that has made me a fan for life. I read an early copy of this book and all opinions expressed in my voluntary review are completely my own.
