Book Review - Hot Shot (Hostile Operations Team #5) by Lynn Raye Harris
ABOUT THE BOOKCool under pressure... Until now.
Hostile Operations Team sniper Jack "Hawk" Hunter is cool, methodical, and utterly lethal. Nothing rattles Jack's calm. But that was before he learned he fathered a child three years ago--a child who has just been kidnapped.
Gina Domenico is a superstar, a pop sensation with a string of hit records. But deep inside, she's still the lonely girl she's always been. When Jack saved her from an arms dealer, they spent three unforgettable days together waiting for rescue--and Gina fell hard for the sexy soldier before he walked away forever.
But now she needs his help and she'll do anything to get it. Though Jack can never forgive Gina for keeping his child from him, he'll do everything in his power--and HOT's--to bring their son home safely.
Nothing is what it seems, however, and their fates hang in the balance as someone else pulls the strings...and brings them ever closer to an explosive confrontation that could either save their son--or cost them everything.
This is a fast paced second chance romance. It is the fifth book in the series, but can easily
be read as a stand-alone. The hero and
the heroine were both well developed and interesting characters. Gina’s struggle to find the balance between
her private and public persona is fascinating, and seeing how her struggle
affects her relationship with Jack makes the story work even better. My only complaint about Jack is that he isn’t
more upset about not knowing about his son for the past three years. It is understandable that he’d have to put
his anger aside to save their child, however I felt like he should be angrier about
not knowing. Obviously it’s hard to have
a romance with a man who is that angry with the heroine, but it made the plot
feel a little forced because of it.
The prologue made for an interesting stand-alone story in
itself. The author should consider
including it in an anthology somewhere as well.
I was able to figure
out who the villain was early on, but the mystery was still well done and not
completely obvious.
OVERALL RATING - 4.5 STARS!
MATURITY RATING - 18+ a little steamy
