Bailey Jones doesn’t know jack about babies, but she knows how much it sucks to have a deadbeat father. So when her sister drops off her newborn baby and then disappears, Bailey is ready and willing to confront anyone, including a six-foot-two, sexier-than-sin Navy SEAL sniper, and make him do his duty.Alexei “Camel” Kamarov is not the sort of man to carelessly father a kid, but as the oldest of … oldest of six, he does know a thing or two about babies. The firebrand on his doorstep might have mistakenly tagged him as the baby daddy, but Bailey is cute, and Alexei is more than willing to give her a hands-on class in Baby 101.
When a ruthless criminal comes looking for the missing sister–putting Bailey and the baby in danger–the situation escalates. Bringing them under his roof and enlisting his HOT teammates to help find Bailey’s sister are easy. But as Alexei and Bailey draw closer, passions erupt and feelings tangle.
That’s nothing compared to the danger lurking in the shadows–and the test that awaits them both. Bailey will need to give everything she’s got to redeem Alexei’s faith in love. And he’ll have to move heaven and earth to save her–before someone takes her away from him for good…

Love anything by this author!
A reader can never go wrong with a book in the H.O.T. series by Lynne Raye Harris. Her stories are fun to read as well as action packed.
Loved it .
I’ve read quite a few of the HOT series but this is my first of the HOT SEAL off-shoots and I can honestly say it didn’t make a difference. I stopped because I fell behind by a book or two and there seemed to be enough flow from book to book (mostly with the bad guy) that I didn’t feel comfortable picking up again in the middle. I was assured this was a good place to start back up, though, and I’m sure glad I listened!
Based on the stories I’d read before I knew I’d get action and emotion, with strong women and take charge men, and this one didn’t disappoint. From the first page I was hooked! After her sister left her in charge of her niece, Bailey goes barreling over to Alexei’s to confront the man who she thought was the baby’s dad. From her banging on his door and yelling her *ahem* “high” opinion about him to Alexei bringing her into his home to help her take care of Ana, it’s fun and sassy and a great meet-cute.
Of course, bad things come calling when Bailey gets threatened at work by someone looking for her sister. With the brains and brawn that populate the HOT team, Bailey has a lot of help at her disposal. But it’s going to take some time which keeps her in Alexei’s orbit just that much longer … lucky girl!
Neither of them were looking to get involved, but the heart rarely plays fair and I really enjoyed watching both Bailey and Alexei fall in love. They struggle with it a bit and have a few moments where being a little more up front about their changing feelings would have saved them both some heartache, but overall it was pretty drama free (which I appreciate). Instead, we get two people who thought they wanted one thing slowly figuring out that maybe they want something so much different after all.
With a large dose of sizzle between the main characters, a little bit of danger thrown in to spice things up, Alexei and Bailey’s romance if a ton of fun to read. I’m looking forward to enjoying more of the HOT guys … maybe I’ll go back and get the ones I’ve missed!

HOT SEAL Redemption is another winner from Lynn Raye Harris. I have to say I’ve come to love the HOT SEAL Team books every bit as much as the original HOT Team books. With HOT SEAL Redemption, we get Alexei “Camel” Kamarov’s book.
I will say right now I fell head over heels for Alexei as soon as he took in Bailey and her niece Ana. Seriously, there really is nothing sexier than a big strong man knowing how to take care of a little baby. All the sighs so many times as I read this book. I also had to chuckle at the fact that Bailey didn’t even have a clue how to change a diaper without watching a YouTube video first. I love killing the stereotype that just because Bailey is a woman she would know all about babies.
I felt the connection between Alexei and Bailey pretty much from the moment they met as she was accusing him of being her sister’s “baby daddy”. I loved he was so protective of Bailey and Ana from the moment they met and he made sure they stayed under his protection while trying to find Bailey’s sister Kayla. Alexei is totally an Alpha Male, so his protective instincts are on high alert when he feels like he is protecting his own, and I loved how he pretty much lost his mind when Bailey was working making sure no one touched her inappropriately. Seriously he was so sexy, yet I loved that Bailey had no problem making sure he knew she was capable of doing her job and taking care of herself.
I can’t say enough how smoking hot the chemistry was between Alexei and Bailey. OMG when they finally made love for the first time, my kindle screen fogged up and I had to fan myself. So freaking sexy!!! Even when they both were saying they were only in it temporarily, I could totally tell they both had already started falling for each other. I absolutely loved them as a couple!
The threat to Kayla, Ana, and even Bailey had me on the edge. I honestly don’t usually read many MC books because of the violence in them, yet the military romances have never bothered me, even though they can sometimes have some of the same elements of violence. I hated Kayla’s ex from the moment he appeared on the page, and worried more for Bailey really than Kayla, as Kayla was so well hidden for the longest time. I have to say the scenes with James Dunn and the MC that involved Bailey were really rough for me to read. They were extremely well done, and very true to life, but still super rough. I loved it when Alexei and his crew once again showed up to take care of business with the assistance of none other than Ian Black. I have to say I’m really hoping we are going to get his book sooner rather than later.
HOT SEAL Redemption was one of those books I couldn’t read fast enough, even as I didn’t want the story to end. With each new book in the entire Hostile Operations Team series, I fall more in love with all the characters. I truly believe each of these books can be read as a stand-alone story. However, to really understand the workings of all the team members, I highly recommend reading each book in the series in order.
Rating: 5 Stars (A-)

I just wanna eat these seals up in this series each one is so special they melt your heart. In this one it centers around Bailey and Alexei whom thanks to her sister they cross paths. Besides a little bundle she has left with Bailey she also has brought trouble her way. Alexei being the kind of guy he is will not leave it alone and things will build from the get go. The anticipation that is built also between them leaves you antsy with oh my drooling along the way droppin on the pages. But a Seal will do the job right and get things squared away right with you nose to the page every step of the way in this one.
“You really are a good guy, Alexei”
“No, I’m really not. But I am right now.”
I absolutely love this series! The men of HOT, are just that – Hot! I love seeing a big, bad alpha male brought down by a pretty face, and a cute little baby.
Bailey Jones has her hands full. Her sister up and left, leaving her infant daughter with Bailey, along with the name of the father. Alex Kamarov. She’s going to find him and give him a piece of her mind for leaving her sister, and now her, to deal with the baby alone. Bailey has no clue what to do with a baby and this guy is going to man up. Alex proves to be quite the softy when it comes to Ana, and Bailey can’t help but be attracted to him. When her sister Kayla’s past comes looking for her, Bailey becomes the target. Can Alex keep them safe? Just when it looks like he might care for her too, will she lose him forever?
Alexei “Camel” Kamarov knows he’s not the father. No way. No how. But there’s no way he can turn them away. He’ll be more than happy to show Bailey a few things about babies. But that’s not all he wants to show her. He has no time for relationships. His job doesn’t mix well with being part of a couple. When the paternity test proves what he already knows, Bailey and the baby will be gone. He needs to keep her at arm’s length. But, when it becomes clear that Bailey’s sister Kayla was involved with a criminal, he’ll stop at nothing to ensure Bailey and Ana’s safety. He’s just met her , but there’s no way he’s letting her go. She’s his and no one threatens what’s his.
I enjoy this series so much. I have loved reading each book as one by one the men of HOT fall ridiculously in love with their women. Total swoon-fest. Can’t wait for the next one!!
What a great read! From the beginning I was drawn in. From the start when Bailey shows up banging on Alexei’s door telling him to man up I was drawn in. Bailey comes to his door accusing him of abandoning her sister, Kayla and Ana, the baby she assumes is Alexei’s. Alexei knows there is no possible way the baby can be his but instead of turning her away he sees that Bailey appears to be in over her head and offers to help her. She has her doubts and he agrees to take a test to prove her wrong. While awaiting the results the two find themselves trying to avoid t danger in the form of Kayla’s boyfriend, James. Of who Bailey knows nothing of. Before you know it the story turns from simply trying to find out what mess Bailey’s sister has gotten herself into to one of criminal activity involving drugs, human trafficking and so much more. Alexei all the while is falling for Bailey and growing quite found of Ana. Alexei feels he has to seek the help of his SEAL time and the men of HOT. He is also trying to protect Bailey who refuses to stop working even though there is a possibility of James coming and looking for her in order to get to Kayla. This is another great read in the HOT series and you don’t want to miss it. I’ll stop here as I don’t want to give away the story just know that as always there is a wonderful HEA!
Hot SEAL Redemption was SENSATIONAL! I fell hard and fast with Alexei. The way he handled and took care of Bailey and her niece made my heart melt. And Bailey’s attitude, spark and even her vulnerabilities made me like her a whole lot, especially as she does her very best to take care of her niece and dig to find out what went down with her sister and the way she was so fiercely protective and sassy had me thinking she was one of the most awesome heroines ever.
Oh this story was such a great ride. Lots of action, suspense, hot romance and a plot that readers love, this book was incredible! Everything about this book called to me. The sexy, alpha military man, the sassy and beautiful heroine, an adorable baby and add in some heart-thumping suspense and a bit of mystery and we have a story that is compelling and makes me eager for a new one. I love Lynn Raye Harris’s HOT SEAL stories SO MUCH and I can’t wait to see what is next!
Hot SEAL Redemption gets a SUPERB FIVE SHOOTING STARS
