Loved this whole series
How can you not love this series? Well any books by Ms. Harris really!! This is the next installment from the HOT SEALs, and boy was it amazing. So much adventure, suspense, who did it, and of course a lovely love story. These guys are certainly the best SEALs every, they stick together, love each other like brothers, and protect their own!! Cannot wait for Book 7, they get hotter and better with each one!
Another great entry into Ms. Harris’s HOT SEAL series.
I loved Blade (Adam Garrison). He was the quintessential bodyguard (even as a teenager 😉 ). Great chemistry between the H/h. My favorite part of the story was how much better we got to know Ian Black and his Black’s Bandits team, clearly setting up some intel and heroes for future stories.
I felt that the climactic battle was a little anticlimactic–it was set up to be so much more intense, imo, but it felt more like a staged fight rather than an organic rescue.
Definitely one of my favourites. Blade and Quinn’s story was well written and enjoyable right through to the end. It had everything and then some from what you would expect from a Lynn Raye Harris book, a past history between the two, respect, drama, a little angst, steamy romance, and several memorable characters make appearances as well.
WOW! This story spans the globe! I enjoyed the back history of Blade an Quinn and the shock of seeing each other again. I was fascinated with Quinn’s personality. How she could joke and banter, but instantly be regal and work the room as hostess. It was pretty kewl who Blade’s team worked with. Nicely woven story! Action packed!
Blade and Quinn knew each other in high school. Both were outcasts for different reasons and they became close friends. Now eight years later they meet again after losing touch with each other. Quinn is married to a man suspected of treason, and nobody is at all sure she is innocent. When her husband is murdered she is put in danger, and Blade will do anything to protect her. Will they be able to get to the bottom of the threat against her? Will their previous friendship blossom into something more? I enjoyed this story as I have all the books in this series.
From the hilarious beginning all the way to the end, I couldn’t put this book down. Lynn Raye Harris is one of the few authors I have on automatic pre-order for anything she writes.
This is another fantastic book in the HOT SEAL Team series and just as exciting as the others before it.
Adam “Blade” Garrison has been given an assignment as bodyguard to protect Quinn Halliday, a childhood friend and wife to a tech billionaire and to infiltrate the criminal operations.
This book grabbed my interest from the beginning and held me captive through the Epilogue. There was action on every page as well as an emotional ride as Adam and Quinn reminisced about their younger years together.
The suspense of this book as well as the sparks that burn hotter than they ever did between Adam and Quinn takes you on a ride with twists and turns that keep you guessing but hold your attention.
So Good!
What an exciting story! I immediately loved the connection Blade and Quinn shared from their school days. Blade was Quinn’s fierce protector way back then and he is so much more so now.
I was intrigued with Blade’s unique background having grown up in the rough Hong Kong city streets and naturally being fluent in several Asian languages which gives him a special skill set. I was also pleased that Blade was so supportive of Quinn even though she was overweight. He saw through the physical appearance to the sweet, loving young girl she really was. He also recognized her shy, introverted personality for who she really is, even today.
This story is about several important issues that are prominent in our real world today, most of which are ugly to face. This author was able to bring each one to light and deal with them in a positive way while integrating the special HOT ingredients that make these stories so enjoyable. The HOT men, as well as Black’s Bandits are able to come together and use their unique skills to help Quinn escape and survive the Chinese mafia as well as an abusive and very lonely marriage.
This incredible story has all the thrills, excitement, love and passion that we all expect from this author and her HOT series. A definite page turner and one you won’t want to put down until the end!
Excellent job! I loved it!
The newest HOT story is an action-packed, high energy five star adventure! Blade is a super sexy, tattooed Navy SEAL posing as a bodyguard when he’s reunited with his shy high school friend Quinn who has transformed herself into a curvaceous and sophisticated woman. And while it seems that Quinn has everything money can buy, she’s miserable being married to a possessive and abusive man and Blade has no intention of leaving her behind. Before he gets the evidence he needs, Blade’s mission goes sideways and he and Quinn are forced to run from sinister forces that would see them dead. As with all HOT SEAL adventures, there’s plenty of danger and all that adrenaline leads to steamy sexual shenanigans that can only be described as hot, hot, HOT! With Blade’s SEAL teammates and Ian Black’s mercenaries along for much needed back-up, Quinn and Blade’s high octane love affair is absolutely explosive. You’re going to love this book! I read an early copy of this book and all opinions expressed in my voluntary review are completely my own.
HOT Seal Target is another great sexy, suspenseful romance story by Lynn Raye Harris. I love a good second chance romance, and this one is HOT! Blade protects his woman in grand style. There are many twists and turns, and I could not put it down!! A bonus to this book is that you get to see a lot of the mysterious Ian Black. He is large, in charge, and funny! I can’t wait for the next book.
Love, love, love this story. It has a great blend of espionage, treason, murder, mayhem, kidnapping, and love.
This book reminded me alot of why I fell in love with Ms Harris’s books. It took me back to her original story about Matt and Evie. There were a lot of similarities, yet the story was it’s own. I love how she is able to blend Blade and Quinn’s youthful history with current times and circumstances. They didn’t try to brush it under the carpet but they talked about it.
This book brought out Ian Black and his “bandits”. It put him in the middle of the events and showcased how much power he has. It will be interesting to see how much more of him and his escapades will be intertwined in future books.
A definite must read!!!!!
Wow! Another great HOT story focusing on one of the members of the SEAL squad along with a lot of involvement with Ian Black(who some love to hate) and his Bandits. This book is about Adam “Blade” Garrison and how he is temporarily assigned to Ian team to go undercover as a bodyguard to gather information on Hunter Halliday: a tech billionaire, who is believed to be selling technology to the government that has a way for outside governments to access it. One of the reasons Blade is recuited is because of his ability to speak mandarin and Cantonese fluently as well as the fact that he shares a past with Haliday’s wife Quinn. Turns out Blade and Quinn knew each other in the last two years of high school when Blade’s parents worked in England. Once Blade reconnects with Quinn and learns of all that she has gone through at the hands of her controlling husband, Blade is determined to get her out of the situation. He feels very protective of her just as he did when they were in high school when she was being bullied for her weight. I love who the deep friendship they had all those years ago transforms into love. I really enjoyed the look into who Ian Black is and how some of his team works. I also enjoyed how even though Blade was assigned to Ian team his own team was there to help him when he needed them. I am looking forward to learning more about Ian and his own team of men who will fight for what is right. Though in a little bit different way than the HOT team does. Wonderful story line and I look forward to more great stories about the HOT men. Can’t wait to see what is in store fore Dirty Harry.
I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.
HOT! Lynn Raye Harris delivers yet another scorching action packed story of love. Adam “Blade” Garrison is assigned by Ian Black to guard Quinn Halliday, a girl from his past. Sparks fly as he has to keep her safe, from more than just the enemy. This was an awesomely HOT story, and I loved every bit of it.
“I’ve spent so much of my life doing my own thing that I didn’t think anything was missing. I was wrong.”
“I’ve always known something was missing. I didn’t know it was you.”
Oh, these men of HOT!!! What’s not to love about their towering height, their rippling muscles, their protective natures, and their alpha ways? Not to mention those cool nickmames! I love this series!
Adam “Blade” Garrison will do anything to protect his country. Even if it means working with Ian Black. With National security on the line, he needs to find out if the man with whom the goverment has struck a military contract, has devious designs on obtaining US secrets. One way to do that, is to be hired as the bodyguard to the mogul’s wife, Quinn. She’s no longer the chubby girl he knew in high school – the one he defended and protected against the bullies. The one who became his best friend before he ghosted her. She’s changed. She’s sexy as hell, strong, and he can’t deny the attraction. But, now she ‘s in grave danger from both her husband, and those determined to make him pay, if not in cash, then in blood. Can he get her out in time? Or, has time run out for both of them?
Quinn Evans Halliday was a fool. She believed the man she loved was everything she could ever want. He was handsome, wealthy, and he treated her like a princess. That all changed once they were married. Now she was nothing more than a prisoner, one with round the clock security. But, she’s not going to mind being guarded by the new guard her husband hired. Adam Garrison. He’s even more handsome than she remembered. Bigger and stronger too. Could he be the key to her escape from this hell? When both their lives are in danger, will they make it out alive, or is this the end of any chance at happiness?
This is such a great series. Each book has a great story line, wonderful characters, suspense, drama, a little humor, and lots of romance and steam. I love Ian Black and his one-liners – so great! And the HOT SEALs are the men of which fantasies are made. I know the chances of me meeting a six-foot-three, ripped, SEAL, one who comes to my rescue no less, is pretty slim. But this series gives me just a glimmer of hope. Hey, you never know, right?
I just love this book and series. I dare say this is the best book of the series to date. Adam (Blade) knew Quinn from school and when he is tasked to provide protection he jumps on the assignment because he wants to find out about her. She was painfully shy in school and had a weight problem, but now, she is none of that. There is just one little problem- she is married to a guy that is on HOT’s radar. I love how Ian and his Bandits take more of a roll in this book. I highly recommend this book for anyone who likes military/romantic suspense stories.
This one has us following Blade through with what his op is every step of the way. What he remembers and what actually are seem to be two different things. Quinn will be the one who pulls the most on your heart with what she has to endure. You do not get to sit back in this one but will be always on edge. When they are in this together you are lost with no way back until you have the answers they seek. The many elements this has will feed a reader to way past satisfaction. When things are mixed you will be hooping and hollering from all the hotness that comes off the pages. This is one that will melt you from the inside out.
