I love this series! HOT SEAL Hero is Ryan’s book. I started this on Friday night and, if I hadn’t needed to sleep or work< I would have devoured this book in one sitting. I love the guys on the HOT team. Lynn Raye Harris does a great job in portraying the closeness of the guys and deals really well with Chloe's past in a respectful manner that anyone who has experienced what she did needs to read and understand. These books continue to get better. If you love military romance, especially ones who that feature SEALs to fight hard and love harder then pick up HOT SEAL Hero and the rest of this series. I received an advanced copy of this book. This is my honest and voluntary review.
Chloe gets Dirty
Chloe is trying to stay under the radar as she has just escaped an abusive relationship recently. When she moves into a new neighbourhood she meets Ryan when she knocks on his door to move his car, so the moving van can get into her driveway. She will never forget how he answers the door…. Ryan starts getting to know Chloe and soon is convinced she is hiding something but he wants to get to know her better and potentially move to the next logical step!
A good story that shows patience and kindness truly win in relationships and communication I’m hoping Neo and Kayla’s story is next….
5 Stars
This series just gets better and better with each book! Ryan “Dirty Harry” Callahan is enough to make any woman swoon and reach for an ice cold glass of sweet tea (or whatever your drink of choice may be). This book will keep you turning pages until you get to the end, loving every sweet, intense, HOT, suspenseful minute. Sleep became unnecessary once I picked up this book until I finished. As usual, this team of HOT SEALs is enough to make a reader forget any and all responsibilities for the night! Cannot wait for HOT SEAL Devotion!

If you like hot SEAL heroes, especially those who don’t have to follow all of the rules, you’ll love this author’s books, and particularly Ryan and Chloe’s story. If there’s one thing this book taught me, it’s don’t start a new Harris book at 11 PM because it’s guaranteed to be an all-nighter. Once I started, I absolutely had to keep reading!
Chloe first meets Ryan the day the moving truck pulls up to her new home and Ryan’s truck is blocking its access. One meeting leads to another and, as the neighbors get to be friends, Ryan realizes that Chloe is on the run, which only serves to make his protective instincts kick in. When danger closes in, Chloe is very grateful for her SEAL neighbor, as well as his entire team, who all have her back.
There’s a lot to love about this book. Chloe and Ryan are wonderful together, and Ryan is the perfect combination of strong protector and sensitive hero. The conflict is driven by external sources which serves to strengthen the relationship between Ryan and Chloe, and the story is fast paced and exciting. The secondary characters are all loveable and larger than life, and their sense of family is heart warming and enviable. In addition, Harris adds a nice dose of snarky wit to make this story memorable and secure a place for the characters in the reader’s heart. High on suspense but low on angst, this book is the perfect balance of humor, heat and heart that you won’t want to miss!
*I reviewed an early edition of this book freely and voluntarily, having made no commitment to provide feedback and receiving no compensation of any kind from any source.
One of my favorites in this series! The meet was totally fun and original. Even though Ryan (aka Dirty Harry or Dirty) was in a bad place at the beginning of the story, his SEAL instincts instantly kicked in, and he became the protector Chloe needed. He was also the right man to help her learn to trust men and intimacy again, after escaping an abusive relationship. The payoff at the end–to see just how strong she’d become, and how much faith she had in Ryan and his team to be there when she needed them most–was terrific. The romance had a bit of a slower build than some of the other HOT SEAL stories–but that’s what Chloe needed to get to the place where she could love and lust and trust again.
I loved Dirty and Chloe together!
These HOT men just keep getting hotter and hotter!
Hats off to Lynn on a great start to another great book. I absolutely love how Chloe and Ryan meet for the first time. I guarantee that it will make you chuckle. The way that Ryan and Neo help out Chloe just goes to show how great these guys are and that they know how to show respect and caring to women. This story will keep you on your toes throughout the entire book. How can you not fall for Ryan when he is such a strong protector to Chloe and yet he is also a sensitive caring guy. These two were made for each other.
What an interesting way to meet! Ryan and Chloe were destine to fall for each other at the first door! I loved this story! Wonderful characters! Now if I could just get that Strawberry Pretzel Salad recipe!
Another winner! Chloe and Ryan make for a fabulous couple – even when she really isn’t sure about anything due to her abusive background. A great read!
I enjoyed it. No disease,dying, health stats. No thinking, just the story .
Premise was good, BUT, I get tired of authors who can’t manage to write sex scenes without using a lot of raunch. I am by no means prudish – I just think an educated author should be able to write a love scene without sounding like a 17 year-old boy in the locker room…especially when the target readers are educated women. I guess the title and the cover should have tipped me off….
It was a good book. I can do without the bad language.
Great story
5 stars
Chloe is running from her abusive ex. She left him in the middle of the night, changed her name, and rented a little house. Ryan is a Navy SEAL and on the HOT team. He and his roommate help Chloe unload the moving trunk after the mover walks off and quits. Even though she is skittish, she still ver y attracted to Ryan. They go too fast too soon and decide to slow down. When Chloe starts getting threatening letters, Ryan promises to protect her. Chloe gets kidnapped and Ryan will do anything to get back the woman he has fallen in love with.
Chloe is beautiful and brave. Ryan is handsome and protective. A little action and some very hot sex. BTW I would love to try that strawberry pretzel salad desert.
Ryan and Chloe meet when she moves in across the street from the house he shares with one of his teammates. Chloe is very skittish and Ryan realizes pretty quickly that she is hiding something. Chloe is on the run from an abusive ex, and she isn’t sure she wants any man in her life. When she begins to receive threats Ryan is there to help, and they establish a friendship that quickly begins to change into something more. Will they find and neutralize the threat before Chloe runs again? Is this her ex back to drag her home or some new danger? This is another good read involving the men and women of HOT.
When you settle in to read a SEAL adventure written by Lynn Raye Harris you know you’re in for plenty of action with a sexy tatted SEAL and a heroine who desperately needs his help, in more ways than one. Wink, wink! Hot SEAL Hero is a good read but I can only give it a 4 star rating because, unfortunately, this book is not quite up to par with the rest of the books in this wonderful series. I read an early copy of this book and all opinions expressed in my voluntary review are completely my own.
HOT Seal Hero by Lynn Raye Harris. This is zRyan and Chloe story. Chloe is running away from her ex boyfriend. On move in day for her new place she meets Ryan. From the moment they met it was almost love at first site. This book is a page turning, action-packed, suspenseful sexy read. As the two of them get to know each other, Ryan vows to protect her after a series of threats. The more time goes on and Chloe is taken, Ryan knew e would do whatever it took to save her. I love this story it captured my from beginning to end. Lynn Raye Harris did er thing it this story. Looking forward to the next story. Bring on Neo and Kayla.
Loved the story.
I love the HOT series, so they’re always a one-click purchase for me, no question. Chloe and Ryan “Dirty Harry” Callahan are a couple with a metric ton of chemistry, and I’ve been waiting for their story since we first caught a glimpse of Dirty accidentally answering the door in his -ahem!- birthday suit. HA! (Just an aside, but Ryan’s last name caught my attention, especially later in the book, because he mentions a former SEAL relative who’s in private security… there’s another author in the Romantic Suspense genre whom I adore, and that whole family of SEAL’s is named Callahan… wishful thinking, perhaps?)
Anyway, I love how the team pulls together to help Dirty out, and I can’t wait for Neo’s story. The plot kept me guessing, I’ll admit, because I thought I knew “who done it,” but I didn’t have it all figured out, like I thought.
Dirty (aka Ryan) almost seemed too good to be true sometimes, but he was a sweetheart. I liked that he wanted to build a relationship with Chloe.
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.

This is the first book I have read from Lynn and the first in this series. Holy cow I absolutely loved this one. It had me gripped from the first chapter until the end. I mean come on how can you not be gripped when you are reading about a guy coming to the door naked not just any guy but a navy seal. Yep I wanted more. She got my attention and kept my attention. Chloe is trying to move on from a bad relationship by starting over. She is moving into a new house and her neighbor is a hot navy seal. Yes the one that showed up at the door naked. We are talking completely naked. Great way to meet the new neighbor. Anyway these two seem to hit it off. Chloe is scared of her past and her strong sexy neighbor is there to assist her if needed. These two fall into something very quickly but you can easily see the chemistry between these two. Chloe tries her hardest to push the brakes but it just doesn’t work. Then something happens to change everything. Will Ryan be able to save her this time like he has before? I absolutely loved Ryan. I mean seriously what’s not to love. But this book was intense, amazing with great characters. I will be picking up all the books in this series and reading them because this one has me hooked.
