Georgie and Sam have known each other for years. Sam and Georgie’s brother, Rick, are best friends and Georgie had a crush on him forever. Sam joins the Army but he now works for HOT and Georgie goes off to college and then gets married. Now Georgie is divorced, living in Washington, and teaching military men and women. When a student doesn’t come to class, she tries to find him but no one I’ll tell her anything. Then she is pushed and almost falls into the path of a train. She hasn’t seen Sam in six years but he shows up at her door. He is checking up on her for her brother. Georgie is threatened, and then someone breaks into her house and she calls Sam for help. He hides her away and their desire heats up. Georgie wants Sam but Sam doesn’t want to disappoint her family and he doesn’t think he’s good enough for her. Can she get Sam to let the shield around his heart and give them a try?
Sweet, suspenseful, and very sexy. I love these books because they are so real, you think you are right there too.

Lynn Raye Harris is one of my favorite storytellers. Her stories build slowly until your breathless with anticipation and the endings are always with the journey. I loved the push and pull between Sam and Georgie. Granted, it took Sam a few bad guys and and a close call to allow himself to admit to his feelings, but when he does, Georgie is one lucky girl!

Georgie and Sam burn for each other but have there been too many years separation? The heroine grows stronger as Sam tries to protect her while in a precarious position of danger. Another awesome story in the HOT series!

So this is the 2nd book I’ve read today from this author. I can’t seem to put these books down. I’ll definitely be buying all these books. If you love HOT alpha men then this book is for you. Georgie and Sam are hot. The chemistry between these two will keep you turning the pages. I love the suspense, drama & action in this book!

fantastic book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 20, 2019

This is the second book in the Hostile Operations Team (H.O.T; the Expanded Edition) and it follows Sam McKnight and Dr. Georgeanne Hayes.

Meet the lovely English professor Dr. Georgeanne Hayes who has a huge problem. Her star pupil,who's an Army sergeant and works in a Top Secret government program has gone missing. Then someone tried to push Georgie in front of a train last night.

The ever breathtaking Sam “Knight Rider” McKnight who is used to looking out for Georgie. When Sam and Georgie were kids Sam looked at Georgie as his best friend’s baby sister. Now Georgie’s not a his best friends baby sister anymore and poor Sam is getting some strong male—and extremely dirty, dirty—thoughts. Sam feels that he can't forget about the girl he knows he can't never have.

When someone threatens Georgie’s life for a second time again. Sam is no doubt willing and able do anything necessary to keep Georgie safe. That means even if it means spending the next few days locked up in a remote house on the cost of Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

Sam is used to denying himself everything and anything he wants. However Sam is about to find out that being locked up with Georgie in that house will push him to the limit. It may also push both Sam and Georgie beyond the point of no return.

I Love Lynn Raye Harris. If i could give more than 5 * i could but again i have to settle for 5

Military romance

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 13, 2020

No plot spoilers.
No potential triggers.
So, I must be off my game or something because this book just didn't do it for me at all. The characters felt a bit flat, formulaic maybe. It's aimed at an adult audience so there is plenty of sex scenes, a bit of swearing. The storyline was not terribly engaging, and at times felt a bit like the author plucked the action scenes simply to bridge the gap, and of course I know a plot device when I see one but I didn't expect it to be so blatant from this author.
There are no grammatical errors or editorial mistakes.

Really liked this couple. Sam, the boy who came from nothing. Georgie, the princess in her ivory tower. And someone out to kill her.

Less puppy dog more suspense

Overall it was good, but I think they could have toned down the love sickness over each other n turned up the suspense part a bit more.

Just terrible

Reviewed in Germany on June 1, 2022

Verified Purchase

I am sorry, but this just was unbarable.

The heroine is pathetic, has no spine or self esteme and while reading her constant begging and crawling after Sam I felt embarassed for her.
Her behaviour was such a turn off and it was impossible to like her or identify with her.
There is no chemistry between them and the suspense or military part of the story is non existent.
G. acts like a horny teenager and keeps whining about something that happened 12 years ago and Sam seems to fxxxx her out of pity so she will stop throwing herself at him.
One of the worst stories I have read.
