HOT Addiction: A Second Chance, Left at the Altar, Enemies to Lovers, Military Protector Romance

Lynn Raye Harris gives her readers another winner with HOT Addiction. I love a story about characters with a history together, and Dex's and Annabelle's second chance romance gave me all the feels. I found myself loving how strong Annabelle was from the very beginning. Seriously, she was forced to marry a man she didn't love and leave the man she did love at the alter, she has taken over running her husband's business, and is raising her daughter on her on. When she figures out she is in over her head because of Eric's choices, she knows her ex Dex is the only man who can help her. Seriously that takes guts to go and ask the man you left at the alter to keep you and your daughter safe. Dex "Double Dee" is rightfully unhappy about seeing Annabelle again and understandably unwilling to initially help her out. Of course, he seems to know to check into her situation, and once he gets HOT involved, he quickly realizes he must help out Annabelle to keep her alive. I love with each book in the HOT series, we get a fully developed romance along with totally kick-ass action and adventure. The longer Dex and Annabelle spent time together, the more her past and what had happened with Eric came to light. My heart absolutely broke as Annabelle finally told Dex why she married Eric in the first place. The fact they were on the run at the time in a high-pressure situation had me on the edge of my seat as to how Dex would react. I loved that Dex felt much as I did about what Annabelle told him and wanted to kill Eric all over again. I had figured out one of the people behind everything with Eric, but will say I was surprised by part of the reveal. I did love that some of what Eric was involved in circled back to someone from Mendez's past. I've wanted John Mendez's store since we first met him at HOT. I will say I cracked up repeatedly when Annabelle would refer to him as Gibbs when she saw him, probably because that is who I see when I think of Mendez as well. The HOT series just gets better and better with each installation. I am once again on the countdown for the next HOT book. HOT Valor is John "Viper" Mendez's book and it will be released on July 18, 2017. Rating: 4 Stars (B+) Review copy provided by publisher

This is the tenth book in the Hostile Operations Team (H.O.T) and it follows Dex Davidson and Annabelle Quinn. Annabelle Please tell Dex I’m so sorry. I really shouldn’t have let it go on this long, stringing Dex along I mean. I’ve been thinking long and hard for a good while that marrying Dex wasn’t the right thing and also the fact that I don't feel that I’m not the woman for Dex. I really should have stood up and been braver than I was but i was not brave enough to say I didn't want to marry him. Dex I definitely know that he deserves way more than I could ever give him. When the handsome HOT agent Dex “Double Dee” Davidson was abandoned suddenly at the altar by the woman that he loved dearly. Drew then threw himself deep into his military career, which included training extremely hard. Hard enough to get accepted into the most elite Black Ops unit better known as HOT. The love Dex had felt for Annabelle Quinn had suddenly crashed and burned into as in the face of Annabelle's betrayal. So when Annabelle suddenly crashes back into Dex's life and begs Dex to help save her. This really amuses Dex and so he has no problem laughing in Annabelle's pretty face. After Annabelle was blackmailed into jilting the handsome Dex and was then forced into such an abusive marriage, Annabelle had never thought that she’d ever escape the hell of the long and abusive five years. Annabelle's abusive husband died a month ago and now Annabelle’s finally free from all the abuse or so she thought. Except Annabelle isn’t free. There is someone who claims that Annabelle's deceased husband Eric stole a fortune, and they will do anything to get it back. If Annabelle doesn’t return the fortune within the twenty-four hour deadline, Annabelle’ll be dead and that also will include her young daughter. With time against the clock, Annabelle has no one who she to turn to. Well there is once exception but can Annabelle ask for his help. The only person who is left to help her is her ex Dex. When Dex learns that his ex's husband committed high treason against the US; who was selling a top secret military project to the Russians. Dex has got no other choice but to get involved in the matter. Dex will protect Annabelle and her young child. Dex will also find out who’s also demanding and threatening Annabelle. But Dex won’t ever fall for Annabelle's sweet and intoxicating sensuality again. Nope not in this lifetime. If Dex discovers the huge secret that Annabelle’s been hiding from Dex? No doubt about it, Dex will make sure that this game is totally and truly over for good… I Love Lynn Raye Harris. If i could give more than 5 * i could but again i have to settle for 5
