Publisher's summary

They told him she was dead. They lied....

Colonel John "Viper" Mendez is having the second-worst day of his life. Accused of using the Hostile Operations Team to assassinate a foreign official, he’s gone from being a respected military black-ops commander to a fugitive in the space of an hour. On the run, hunted, and stripped of his honor, Mendez has nowhere to go - and few people he can trust.

Russian spy Ekaterina "Kat" Kasharin is a carbon copy of the woman Mendez once loved. Twenty-one years ago, Valentina vanished from his life. Kat claims to be her twin - but Kat’s lying. Ordered by her superiors in Russian intelligence to abandon the man she loved - or watch him die - Kat had no choice but to obey.

But 21 years is a long time to love a man from afar, and Kat won’t stand by as a traitor plans his death - even if it means risking her heart and her life to save him. She can never reveal her true identity - or the secrets she keeps locked away. Secrets he would hate her for. Working with him is strictly business, and she won’t let emotions get in the way. But the attraction between them is smoking hot - and it’s not long before they’re burning up the sheets.

When the truth comes out, the mission implodes. Everything Mendez thought he knew was a lie. He’ll have to pull it together though before a deadly foe succeeds in taking away all he loves. By the time he realizes Kat might be most important of all? It could be too late to save her....

The Hostile Operations Team is a covert military black ops unit. Their motto is "Where None Dare." HOT operators come from all branches of the military. The only criteria for membership: They must be the best of the best!

HOT Valor

Now it is Colonel John “Viper” Mendez story. He has been in charge of the HOT strike teams. His past is catching up with him. His superiors are out to get him. He has been charged with using his position for personal gain. Someone in Russia was killed and the blame was put on him. He is now on the run. While going to a safe house in New Orleans he sees ghosts. Cat is at the safe house and he knows that she is not who she says she is. This has the both of them going to Russia to find answers. Will they get to the truth in time or will their lives end there? Will his Delta team, who is missing in action ever be found alive? What is going on with the vice president and what is his agenda? I listened to this one daily just to find out the answers.

Flashing HOT Missions

Always twists and turns, well thought out, gripping and entertaining. The men keep falling down the rabbit hole of love, without a life line. military men are always HOT out of a uniform.

HOT Second chance

Loved Mendez's HEA. You get to see why he has the reactions he has to his men getting their happy endings...and he receives an HEA he thought he'd lost many moons ago. So awesome to see the true Mendez and watch him also sacrifice for love..and Ian being involved is always a plus. Mendez and Kat's story is full of action, suspense and emotion and ends with happiness despite all the pain of their pasts. And terrific narration as always.

Actions and Emotions! Great Narration!

I finally got to Viper's story. I enjoyed the narration. There were a couple of points where the story dragged a bit, but when the action picked up, it really picked up.

John and Kat had a lot to overcome. Talk about an emotional rollercoaster. I did wonder if he had fully forgiven her before the invasion of Sergi's or after?

I did find myself even more intrigued by Ian Black. I have been working my way through the ZHOT series, but Ian may be my next read.

Even Better the 2nd Time

After purchasing the Mendez set in order to get the newest update on his family, I decided to grab the audio of this one and hear the story again. Aiden Snow is incredible as always. I was disappointed he couldn’t continue the series, but understand he’s a busy reader with a full schedule. I’ve never been disappointed with anything he has read. He does an amazing job with all the characters, giving them each their own voice. I get so drawn into the HOT world just reading the books. Hearing his voice brings the world that much more to life. Great job Lynn and Aiden! Can’t wait to get to the next books. I have a small list of audiobooks I will purchase without question. Aiden Snow being the narrator is at the top of the list. Even if the story isn’t great I know it will sound good! Fortunately Lynn Raye Harris writes excellent stories as well. Can’t recommend HOT high enough in whatever your preferred book format is.

Totally Impressed!!

OMG!! I am totally NOT an audio book person. I have tried multiple times and never gotten past the first chapter or two. mostly because I "hear" the characters voices in my head and they are never right. Holy moly Aiden Snow is the perfect "John Mendez " I listened to the whole book in one sitting...I am going to check out some of the other HOT books that he has done. I think I could listen to Aiden Snow read the phone book lol

Excellent Series

If you love muscular military men with attitude this is for you . Lynn Raye Harris did an excellent job ,the dialog is believable which is important. The story line is believable. I highly recommend this book series . Aiden Snow is the icing on the cake with his deep voice making the military men real. Can't wait until the next book comes out in audible.
