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.
