Hot Velocity is a romantic suspense by Elle James. Ms. James has outdone herself with this edge-of-your-seat read. I love the characters in this book! T-Rex leaves his post in the military when he's loaned to Homeland Security. He happens to see Sierra being dragged from the yard of the community center daycare by her hair. T-Rex and Sierra's story is fast-paced and filled with drama, humor, sexy bits, action and suspense. I enjoyed every page of this book and look forward to my next book

Hot Velocity is the fourth book in the Ballistic Cowboys series. It's a heart pounding, suspenseful story that brought about a resolution to the on-going mystery that connected all four books in this series. Each book can be read as a standalone, though. The first chapter hooked me – I couldn't believe how hard my heart was pounding as I read it. Rex Trainor (T-Rex) is a highly skilled combat veteran and former rodeo star. His last mission left one of his men badly injured. T-Rex has been temporarily assigned to the Department of Homeland Security in Montana until he rejoins his unit for his next combat mission. Sierra Daniels is recently divorced from her abusive husband. She works at the daycare where a bus load of kids was held captive in an early book in the series. When T-Rex comes across Sierra being manhandled by her ex outside the daycare he intercedes to save her. They're both staying at the same bed and breakfast and things heat up quickly between them. The suspense escalates rapidly when T-Rex and the other members of the DHS team find evidence of weapons being stored in caves outside of town. Then Sierra and the kids from the daycare are taken hostage while they are on a field trip – heart pounding suspense! We finally learn who has engineered all of the terrorist threats that were the underlying mystery in this series of books. It was a satisfactory resolution to the Ballistic Cowboys series and I enjoyed reading all of the books very much. An advanced copy of this book was provided to me but my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author. ***Reviewed for Xtreme-Delusions***

Wow! If you are looking for action and suspense to go along with your romance, this is the book to read. T-Rex and Sierra have great chemistry. Ok, they also have instalove. That was surprising seeing as how Sierra was recently divorced from her abusive ex, and T-Rex was feeling some guilt about his last deployment. I loved how Sierra was strong, tough, and independent. Yet, she had no reluctance in allowing Rex to look out for her. I was holding my breath through the action sequences. I would definitely recommend this book. I voluntarily read and reviewed this Advanced Reader Copy.
