Hot Shadows by Lynn Raye Harris

 💖💖💖💖💖

I loved Gem and Everly’s second chance love story in Hot Shadows by Lynn Raye Harris, book six in her Hostile Operations Team: Strike Team Two series. This romantic suspense novel is the perfect combination of thrilling action and sizzling romance. The story follows Hot Operator Jackson “Gem” Stone and Everly Fairhope, a lawyer and the daughter of a powerful senator.

Gem met Everly while he was on an assignment providing protection to her and a few others, from her mother’s office, overseas. They found themselves in a sticky situation that Gem and the other HOT guys were able to get them out of. After Gem returned to the states, he and Everly shared three wonderful months together, until Everly called it quits; due to a threat by her mother and her mother’s political position. Confused by the way Everly ended their relationship and news of her engaged, Gem is surprised when she comes knocking on his door looking for help. Gem’s not too happy with her request. However, what HOT Operator would ever turn down a request for help when the threat is real, regardless of their personal feelings. As the threat of danger grows and the action heats up between Gem and Everly, this emotional rollercoaster will keep you on the edge of your seat. There is plenty of drama, intrigue, a deadly race against time, corrupt and despicable characters closer than expected, some interesting twists and turns, and of course one red hot romance that burns up the pages. Add in one over-bearing mother who just happens to have connections that run deep and could potentially have a negative impact on Gem’s career, the entire HOT team coming together to help out  and you’ve got another great addition to the Strike Team 2 series.

 

Ms Harris wrote an amazing second chance romantic suspense that takes you on an emotional rollercoaster of heartbreak, angst, and desire. This story is filled with magnetic attraction, sizzling chemistry, controlling mother, and a supportive cast of secondary characters that is a must read story. I highly recommend Hot Shadows to other readers and can’t wait to read the next story in the series. 

 

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
