Victoria Royal is believed by the U.S. government to be a
traitor. The once promising sniper in the Army has gone
rogue ... even worse she has just landed smack in the
middle
of a Hostile Operations Team (H.O.T.) mission in the
desert
and blasted it to hell. She didn't expect to find herself
in the arms of a HOT REBEL.
Nick "Brandy" Brandon didn't expect to find Victoria when
he's budding out from the mission gone very wrong. It has
been three years since she disappeared from the sniper
course they were in together. In fact he had just finally
stopped thinking about her. Now she's back and far more
dangerous than he believed possible. He can't believe she
is a traitor, there must be something more at stake. He
and
his team must move fast because time is running out with
too many lives in the balance.
HOT REBEL is loaded with action, drama and intrigue. This
is the first of Lynn Raye Harris' HOT (Hostile
Operations
Team) that I have had the opportunity to read, but you
can
bet it won't be the last. The way it is written will have
the readers feeling as if they are right there in the
sweltering heat or engulfed in the panic of running for
your life with the other members of HOT covering your
back.
Nick and Victoria are the perfect match for each other if
they can get along long enough to survive. Their
relationship is complex and as you read you will
understand
it better and see that underneath it all it is strong. I
must admit, I am a sucker for team camaraderie and
watching
this team interact completed the storyline for me. I can't
wait to see what else Ms. Harris' comes up with for HOT.
SUMMARY
A rebel on the run… Victoria Royal is a traitor. Or so the U.S. government
believes. Victoria was once a promising sniper in the
Army,
but now she’s gone rogue—worse, she’s just landed in the
middle of a Hostile Operations Team mission in the desert
and blasted it all to hell. Nick “Brandy” Brandon doesn’t expect to run into Victoria
when he’s bugging out from a mission gone wrong. It’s been
more than three years since she disappeared from the
sniper
course they were in together, and he’s finally stopped
thinking about her killer curves and smart mouth. But now she’s back—and she’s far more dangerous than Nick
ever believed possible… Is she really a traitor? Or is
there
something more at stake? He has to decide fast—because
time’s running out and too many lives hang in the balance…
ExcerptVictoria kept her pistol aimed at one man, the one directly
in front of her. They might kill her, but she was taking
one of them with her. The air crackled with danger and
electricity.And then the man lowered the rifle just enough that she
could see his face. It wasn’t a face she’d expected, but
relief flooded her at the sight. Nick Brandon looked as handsome as always, but he also
looked angry, his dark brows drawn low in two slashes over
his face. Still, she knew he wouldn’t kill her. She knew it
in her bones. She dropped the pistol to her side, but the
men still didn’t relax their stances, and she knew they
wouldn’t until she was unarmed. She had to make her fingers
uncurl from the grip, but she did it, and the gun slid to
the sand where it hit with a soft plunk. The team of special ops warriors lowered their weapons, but
Victoria only had eyes for Nick. The last time she’d seen
him, she’d also had a pistol aimed at him. He wasn’t likely
to forgive her for that, but right now she almost didn’t
care. She was safe, even if she wasn’t entirely certain she
would remain that way. “Well, hey there, Preacher Boy,” she made herself say,
though her teeth wanted to chatter. “Didn’t know I was
quite so dangerous you had to bring the entire Delta Force
with you. But I’m flattered, I have to say.”
