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 … 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.

When Haylee Jamison’s best friend becomes a casualty in the opioid crisis, Haylee vows to do something to stop the flow of fake drugs into the country. Throwing caution to the wind, she heads south of the border to investigate, determined to expose what she finds, but when she’s taken hostage, she thinks she’s about to become another statistic in the drug wars—until she’s saved by handsome, enigmatic Dean “Wolf” Gardiner and the rest of Echo Squad.
Neither Haylee nor Wolf have the time—or inclination—for romance, but when danger throws them together again, the sparks between them flare up into something neither of them can ignore.
Lynn Raye Harris never disappoints. HOT Justice is a fast-pace, page-turning, heart-racing ride!
Another great book by Lynn Raye Harris! I one-clicked this puppy as soon as it popped, and it’s as HOT as you would expect. I mean, look at that cover. Yowza! The “undisputed queen of military romance” has written another great book, this time a hardcore suspense in the jungles of Guatemala, where HOT Operator (you bet he is) “Wolf” (I’m in love) rescues journalist Haylee from a drug dealer’s compound. The action just gets HOTter from there! (I cannot help myself.) This is a cute, suspenseful, well-researched, realistic book with plenty of heat. I thoroughly enjoyed every HOT minute.
One of the hotter of the HOT books. But, oh my gosh, how could you not love Dean “Wolf” Garner? From the moment he rescues reporter Haylee Jamison in the Guatemalan jungle, I was hooked. (Apparently, so was she. 😉 )
I appreciated the journey Haylee was on, too, trying to find justice for her friend who overdosed on illegal opioids. She’s working on the story of a lifetime–but it might just get her killed. But whether she was battling drug lords in the jungle or corrupt politicians who allow the illegal drugs to enter the country, when you’ve got Wolf watching your back (along with the rest of the HOT team), I knew she’d end up being safe. One of my favorite heroines in the series, too.
Sort of a long ending to wrap up a lot of loose ends, but very satisfying. And I’m so curious about Mal’s story now. Can’t wait to read it!
Haylee is a reporter, caught in the Guatemalan jungle, looking for the fake drugs making there way into the States. Her best friend overdosed on pills laced with fentanyl and swears to get justice for her. Dean/Wolf is on the HOT team and is sent in to rescue some dentists and helpers. Haylee was not supposed to be there but they rescue her too. After a hot night spent together, neither can stop thinking about the other. When Haylee gets in trouble, she calls Wolf to help her. Wolf is the type to love ‘em and leave ‘em but something about Haylee draws him in. Will he figure out his feelings before he loses her?
Suspense, action, and smoking sex. A story that grabs you from the very first page. I love this series and would recommend it to anyone who wants to get away from real life for awhile.
Wolf is part of the team sent to rescue a group of Americans being held in the jungle at the Mexico-Guatemala Border. Haylee is on a mission to find the people responsible for the death of her best friend when she is kidnapped by the cartel. They have an instant strong connection, but Wolf doesn’t follow through on looking her up when they are both back home. Two months later Haylee isn’t to happy to see him when they run into each other. Now Haylee is once again in danger and Wolf is determined to keep her safe. Will they be able to work out here differences while keeping her safe or will they go their separate ways again? This story has all the intrigue I am used to from this author, and I enjoyed it.
Love this series! Lots of action and pretty steamy, too.
Lynn’s entire Hot series is great fun. Alpha men and the women they love.
Love every single HOT book that Lynn Raye Harris!!! They get better with every installment. The adventures that you get to go on while reading these books are phenomenal! This book takes us to Guatemala and El Salvador to save some hostages from the Mexican drug cartels!
Wolf and Haylee are just amazing characters. The writing is amazing. The way you feel like you are right in there with them sweating in the jungle and escaping the cartels is just perfect.
Excited to get my hands on the next book!!!

I loved these characters and the side characters. I felt I was able to connect with the characters and the story was a great read.
I highly recommend this book and can’t wait for the next story from this author.

When you least expect it love will sneak up and kick you in the behind and you will never know what hit you. That is exactly what happened to Dean “Wolf” Garner in the jungle of Guatemala when Echo went in to rescue a missionary group plus one.
Haylee Jamison had been kidnapped and was being held with a group of missionaries in the jungle on the Mexico/Guatemalan border. She had been dragged out of the hut and was about to be raped by one of the captors but she landed a knee in the area no man wants to have a knee land.
There was an electric current between Wolf and Haylee and after spending the night wrapped up in each other Wolf and Haylee figured that would be it until she found herself in trouble. Wolf was the first person she thought of and he made haste to her side.
Just when you begin to think the bad guys have been brought to justice there is still more to the story but Wolf will not let his woman be taken away so one more time he is making haste to her side. And one more time Haylee proves she is a thinking woman and makes it easy for him.
This book, like the 13 Hostile Operations Team before it was awesome. It is filled with danger, mystery, intrigue and of course one of the HOT team finds the love of his life and the perfect woman to spend the rest of his life with. I can’t wait to read #15 and see what’s in store for Mal.
Dean Garner aka Wolf is just trying to do his job as a member of the HOT, Hostile Operations Team, and helping his parents financially, so they can gain custody of his niece and nephew while his sister is battling her opioid addiction from when she broke her back, barrel racing. It’s what he does, helps.
Haylee Jamison lost her best friend when she ODed on fake opioids, drugs made by a Mexican cartel and shipped to the US and given to people who are desperate to relieve their pain. Haylee was in Guatemala to do research on the Juarez Cartel when she was kidnapped with some dentists doing missionary work. Wolf and his team go in and rescue them. When they get back to the US base, Wolf’s team is stuck there due to weather and the team spends time in a common room with the dentist group and Haylee. Since Haylee first saw Wolf there had been an electrical attraction between them. They eat some pizza, drink some beer, laugh, talk and end up playing some pool. They like each other and one thing leads to another and Haylee has her first one-night stand with Wolf. They part ways the next morning.
Running into each other several months later, Haylee is angry that Wolf seems to think after no contact for two months that he can still tell her what to do, he’s trying to keep her safe, again it’s what he does. But the more time that goes by the more he realizes there is something more going on between him and Haylee. He has never wanted a woman so bad and yet he wants to keep her at a distance to protect his own heart.
Things get HOT, and not just with the team, Haylee and Wolf explode into a hot and heavy romance, after on of Oscar Silva’s men pays her a visit at her home, he knows to much about Haylee’s kidnapping and rescue and she’s scared.
This book took me on an adventure through the jungles of Guatemala and the streets and back rooms of D.C.
*** 4.5 Star Read ***
I like the premise of this story. It’s a current day problem of illegal drugs entering the US and being distributed to unknowing people. They think they’re buying one thing, but they’re getting something else. Add in the political ramifications, espionage, and greed and it plays out in a very intriguing way.
Lynn Raye Harris weaves another wonderful book with HOT Justice, book #14 in the Hostile Operations Team Series! Stories that feature hot(forgive the pun) men that are Alpha males and strong women! Hot Justice features Dean “Wolf” Garner a member of the HOT Echo team and Haylee Johnson who is a reporter. On a rescue mission that has the HOT team rescuing 10 people in Guatemala there is 1 extra person when they get there, this extra person is Haylee who was kidnapped and is there looking for info to expose the people responsible for dealing tainted drugs, drugs the killed her friend. On said rescue Wolf saves Haylee from getting raped and the the escape is on. From the beginning Wolf and Haylee are attracted to each other. After a successful escape and back in the states this attraction continues along with suspense, action, passion, HOTness and hot love. This is a captivating story, check it out!! HOT men are definitely Alpha!!
I am a huge fan of Lynn’s writing and eagerly anticipate each new release. This one was as awesome as the previous books in the HOT series. Instead of terrorists, this story is set against the backdrop of the opioid addiction that too many families are affected by today and the drug smugglers, and corrupt people who help bring them into the US. Haylee recently lost her best friend/roommate from a fatal does of street OxyCotin laced with fentynol. Haylee is on a mission to expose this problem.
Dean ‘Wolf’ rescues Haylee while on a mission to rescue missionary dentists/dental assistants from a cartel camp in Guatemala. Haylee has been captured by the same cartel and held with the missionaries. From the first time Wolf sees Haylee, she’s kicking a cartel member trying to assault her in the balls, he knows she’s different. On the way to the extraction point, Haylee and Wolf bond and develop any easy comfort with each other. An epic pool game and the payout of some bets betweeen Haylee and Wolf at the base in El Salvador propells the story and their relationship along. Not wanting to give away too much of the story, so I will just say that these two min characters crave time together, are human and have fears to overcome before the HEA, but the ride is so much fun.
One of my favorite elements of the HOT books is reading how they come to realize they have fallen for their lady! Wolf is adamant with the guys that he isn’t falling for Haylee – oh the harder they resist and deny, the harder and faster they fall! I love how Wolf describes love as the stealthiest operator ever.
For me, Lynn Rae Harris books are a ‘no thinking necessary 1-click purchase’ doesn’t matter what the blurb says because I know it’s going to be a fun and sexy read with action, hot aloha males finding out a sassy lady has claimed their heart. I was given an ARC to read and voluntarily am writing a review. I can’t wait for the next book to see what Lynn has in store for the next HOT operator.
WOW!
This is a very powerful story! It brings to light the ugly world of prescription drug addiction and its victims.
I love how passionate Haley is about finding those responsible for her friend’s death. This story brings into focus just how innocent people can become dependent on the medications prescribed to them by their own doctors for relief of pain after an injury, accident or even illness. The desperate search for pain relief knows no social barriers.
Dean’s love, total commitment and sense of responsibility for his family is deeply felt when he reveals that his sister has similar struggles with drug addiction. This story reaches down deep into your emotions and makes you feel the despair family members experience with this type of issue.
Timing is everything but between these two, deep in the jungles of Mexico, Dean is her hero, literally, he saves her. I especially love the instant attraction between Dean and Haley when they both feel it with just a look during a very dangerous and critical time, it was out of their control.
A book this good is automatically a fast read for me and staying true to this fabulous series, this story is HOT! I loved every page!
Wolf and Hayley
Hayley is a journalist investigating an issue near and dear to her. Her bestie, died after taking some bad drugs that she got on the street and now Hayley wants to expose where the drugs are coming from and how they are getting into the US. However, she ends up somewhere she doesn’t want to be and gets rescued by men with more muscles than she’s ever seen and more paint greases on them than in a can! Oh and the man doing the rescuing has the most gorgeous eyes she’s ever seen and his name is Wolf
Such a great story and that ending threw me for a loop, was so not expecting it! Looking forward to Mal’s story next
Love it!!! Lynn’s HOT Series always gets my heart to pumping. HOT Justice is the story of Dean “Wolf” and Haylee. From the moment I read the first words I didn’t want to put it down. Hale’s friend has died from a fake drug. Being the person that she is, she’s determined to get to the bottom of this. She has been kidnapped and in comes HOT. From the time Wolf laid eyes on her and saw the guy attacking her, he knew he had to protect her. Their attraction is so strong, they both found it hard to contain. This is a sexy read, full of mystery and suspense. I love watching those two fight what they are feeling but it was funny at times which broke up the seriousness of the topic “drugs and addiction”. As always the twist and turns just makes for a awesome read. In the end Haylee tames the Wolf!!! p#. I hope Haylee has a twin for Mal!!!
I loved HOT Justice. I get a kick out of the Hero rescuing the girl, especially jungle rescues. Dean “Wolf” saves Haylee just in time, and they had that instant connection. Wolf doesn’t accept (or quite understand) his love for Haylee for quite awhile though. It isn’t until the team has to go kick some bad guy butt that he truly realizes it. Haylee is a little more willing to accept it, but it takes her some time too. There’s plenty of action- in and out of the bedroom! Sexy scenes done well, but also bad guy butt kicking as mentioned. The ending was good, but the teaser in the epilogue makes me anxious and wanting the next book right now. Give me more HOT!!
