Sex with the ex… It shouldn’t be this good the second time around.
Navy SEAL Dane “Viking” Erikson has sworn off women—or at least he’s sworn off one woman: DEA Agent Ivy McGill. His ex-wife.
But when they’re forced to work together on a critical military mission, Dane can’t help but notice how the one woman he shouldn’t want is the only one he can’t stop thinking about.
Ivy knows what it’s … about.
Ivy knows what it’s like to fall for a SEAL’s hard muscles and killer smile—and she knows what it’s like when everything falls apart. So why is she naked against a wall and begging Dane for more?

Reviews:
”…one of those must read black ops series that is as good as Maya Banks & Cindy Gerard!” — Just Plain Sassy
“Seriously is there a hotter series out there in this genre? Because if there is, I don’t know about it. I have loved these books from book 1 and they are only getting better and better not to mention hotter!!!” — Goodreads
“So, one of my favorite series (HOT) just got an infusion of new blood…SEAL blood. That’s right, HOT SEALs!” — Saved by Suspense
“Another awesome effort and A+ read in this world of the maybe-mythed-but-oh-my-they-do-exist Hostile Operations Team.” — Mignon Mykel Reviews
“As for Navy SEAL Dane “Viking” Erikson? Well if the man doesn’t melt the panties off of you, I just don’t know if we’re reading the same book.” — Lana Kart

I just don’t know. Viking and Ivy broke up because of their jobs. So, shy did they feel they could have a second chance when they still had the same jobs? I didn’t get it.
Also, what was the deal with Ivy and her partner Ace? I was getting all kinds of mixed signals, until I wasn’t. What happened to or with Rusty? There was a whole storyline there that i seemed to miss. Then we have the surprise Ivy was hit with that rocked her world. She admits the truth to Dane later on in the book.
I just wasn’t feeling Ivy. The book was full of action and suspense. The romance was ok. The story was ok. I did like the narration.

Hot Seal was the first book in the Hot Seal team series by Lynne Ray Harris. It was my first military book by the author. Although it was a spin off from her Hostile Operations series, the series can be read as a stand-alone.
Dane “Viking” Erikson was a Navy Seal assigned to work with a Special Ops group, the Hostile Operations Team aka HOT. Ivy McGill was a DEA agent. She had been following the Ruiz cartel and making waves for years. She was close to bringing the family down when she was assigned to assist the HOT team to complete the mission.
Dane and Ivy had history. Like formerly married that ended badly history and now they were tasked with working together after total silence for four plus years. Harris quickly caught us up and then took us through the suspenseful plot while navigating through old relationship mines.
I enjoyed the action packed and suspenseful plot. Harris told the story primarily through Dane and Ivy’s POV, but we were also graced with the antagonist’s views from time to time. It provided additional depth and dimension. I also enjoyed Dane and Ivy – more Dane than Ivy, because her baggage was a little more than his, but I enjoyed them both none the less.
In the end, it was a quick and fun read. It was well written and well developed. And Harris set the stage well for the series. Remy Marchand is up next in Hot Seal Lover.
Terrible!
Really enjoyed reading this book. Can’t wait to read the next book in this series.
I loved this spinoff to a new series, but how it fits perfectly with HOT! I loved the second chance for Dane and Ivy. I love the commaradity of the team that’s put together for the mission at hand. Great story with lots of action!
A well written story. Great characters.
This is a second chance romance between Dane and Ivy. They met in college and had a whirlwind romance which fell apart mere months after they were married. They haven’t seen each other in over 4 years when the meet again on a mission with HOT. Neither of them is happy to see the other, but they know they have to try and get along or be removed from the mission. Will they be able to complete their jobs, and keep things professional or will old feelings re-emerge? I enjoyed this story as I have all of the books I have read by Lynn Raye Harris.
Chloe and Ryan
HOT SEAL Hero was the perfect title.
Who knew moving into a new house, in a new area would lead to love… Well, Chloe certainly didn’t. she hadn’t planned on Ryan at all after her nasty ex she had all but given up on men altogether until Ryan…
Their first meeting was, well cute…lol and not a little cute it was a whole lot of cute happening…lol
Chloe was amazing finding her inner strength when she needed it the most and also believing Ryan would be there for her instead of giving in to fear, I really liked that about her after what her ex put her through she could have just given up but she didn’t because Ryan had shown her how a real man cherishes a woman.
Ryan and Chloe are both heroes.
HOT SEAL Hero by Lynn Raye Harris is book 7 in the HOT SEAL Team Series. This is the story of Ryan “Dirty Harry” Callahan and Chloe Cooper. I haven’t yet read the previous books, so for me this was a standalone book.
Chloe is working to start her life over after getting away from a very abusive relationship. Chloe’s first encounter with Ryan is when she has to go knocking on his door to get him to move his truck so her movers can get her stuff in. Ryan isn’t happy at first to have someone knocking at his door and when he goes to let them have it he is stunned by the beautiful Chloe. Ryan starts to figure out that Chloe is on the skittish side then he learns why and he goes forward to protect her.
Enjoyed this exciting hot read!
What a Sexy, Exciting Read this is. I am so glad this book is a stand-a-lone as I didn’t realize it was part of a series when I picked it up. The other exciting part is that now that I’ve read Hot Seal Hero, I am definitely going to one-click the other books in this series. With Hot Seal Hero, the author has given us a very romantic, HOT, Suspenseful storyline that kept me captivated throughout, with strong alpha characters that I truly fell in love with. After reading the gutsy storyline and meeting all the men and women that make up this tight knit family, reading the others in the series became a no brainer for this reader. Kudos to the author for an outstanding well written book.
This is a story about a woman, Chloe, who has no one left in her life she can count on and is on the run from an abusive ex. She meets her hot sexy neighbor by chance under the most hilarious and embarrassing of situations. Needless to say this sparks a fire that has been missing for a long time in both of them. But Ryan “Dirty Harry” Callahan (the sexy neighbor) quickly sees a vulnerability in Chloe that his protective instincts, taught to him in his navy seal training and by his Aunt Becky, wants to defend and conquer. Especially down the road when things escalate and Chloe starts getting threatening messages. But when Dirty and his team and their wifes jump into her world, can she trust them or will she end up broken and on the run again.
2 Thumbs Up and 5 stars for an exciting, sexy storyline. I highly recommend grabbing up Hot Seal Hero and if you haven’t read the others in the series, grab them up too, I know I am.
HOT Seal Hero is another fantastic addition to the HOT Seal series. I could not put it down. Lynn Raye Harris always delivers with steamy, suspenseful happily ever afters. The plot will keep you turning the pages, and it is so much fun to watch the characters forming their relationships. You will love Chloe and Ryan! I can’t wait for the next book!
Loved this steamy, action-packed story and particularly enjoyed reading about the main two characters, Dane and Ivy. They were so engaging and interesting and Dane was smok’n hot!
Loved this book. Had a hard time putting it down.
I love this author and her series. Dane and Ivy had a whirlwind relationship and marriage that hardly got off the ground before it ended. Dane went his way and Ivy went hers. Dane became a Seal and Ivy was DEA. 4 years later, they are brought together on a case. Can they work together on a case without personal issues getting in the way? You will have to read the book to find out!
Everything I have come to expect from this author. Action, romance and real life characters keep your interest until the end. Hope to see them (Dane and Ivy) in future HOT books
The HOT SEAL books are even better than the HOT series. I didn’t think that was possible!
Hot Hot Hot
Great book enjoyed it very much thank you.
Great book! I’d read it again.
Who doesn’t love a alpha male hero. This author didn’t disappoint!
