HOT brings the heat and the danger along with bringing back some favorites from the whole series. Angel did an awesome job with this one.
This book was indeed HOT! I identified strongly with Zoe, her character was strong while being very empathetic, fulfilling the role of mother hen to those she cared about. She was take no nonsense female that I just adored. Shay, well damn what do you say about this kick ass alpha male whose only real weakness was the woman tied to his heart from the moment he saw her. The strength these two had as a couple was awe inspiring. This novel was definitely a fantastic read.
All that being said, the ending of this novel left me in all kinds of WHAT THE HELL, and I cannot wait to dive into the next book to discover if we find out what happens! (less)
WOW! Well Angel Payne nailed the name. This book is most certainly HOT and boy was it action packed, intense and delicious! I read this book in one sitting! I could not put it down!
Hot is book 6 in the Honor Bound series (preciously known as Hot For The Hostage from The WILD Boys of Special Forces and it follows the story of Shay Bommer (Shane Burnett) and Zoe Chestain.
Shay is a hot as hell, dominant, alpha man that’s deep undercover for the Special Forces unit, that’s working to take down an extremely dangerous man. When stuck at the airport and sitting at the airport bar. He meets Zoe and he wants nothing more than a lustful, passionate dirty night that he’ll make sure she never forgets.
Zoe is in need of something new, she wants something she’s never actually done before and that’s have a one night stand with a hot stranger so when Shay catches her eye and they hit it off, she goes back to a hotel with him and has the night of her life!
One night stands are meant to be hot, passionate, dirty sex where you leave the next morning and never have to worry about the other person again but the next day on the plane Zoe and her friends are on gets hijacked, to her surprise she is shocked to see that Shay is one of the kidnapper.
As much as I want to dive in to details on everything that happened, I don’t want to spoil what is an incredible, action packed romance with a few twists and turns that’ll keep you on your toes and your attention all the way from the first chapter to the last. What I will say is that this was different from the last five books in the series which certainly was not a bad thing!
As always, Angel Payne delivered an compelling and outstanding plot. She never misses and nailed it flawlessly. The characters are very well written and her ability to transform words into an incredible series of books is phenomenal! She’s a master at what she does and this plot is one of the many reasons why I’ve fallen so in love with her books. She’s unique and does not shy away from much and I absolutely love it.
Although this can be read as a stand-alone, i suggest reading them in order, to get a better feel of the characters and their backgrounds!
5 HOT stars from me!
Zoe and Shay are going to find the peace and rightness they have been looking for in one another. Zoe thought she was a hopeless case as a submissive until a chance encounter with unforgettable man in a airport bar gave her a night she would never forget. He showed her the true connection of D/s and it was deeper and more meaningful than anything she has ever felt. Shay never felt as connect to anyone as he did Zoe. There’s just one tiny problem he’s deep undercover and his next assignment under is hijacking her flight. He’s working on the inside to bring down a psychopath and reunite his family, so he can’t blow his cover. But something about Zoe has him wanting too…
I voluntarily read an advance reader copy if this book.
As always with any Angel Payne book Hot will keep you on edge ready to explode! This book kept ever nerve tingling and my heart raising….
What a ride!!! Shay is hot and wild like a stallion. We finally find out what happened to him and his brother Tait. Why he was on the mission he was on. Angel really let her mind run with this one and it paid off BIG time. I swear this series just gets better with every book.
