5.0 out of 5 starsThe Princess and the Hero Fairytale!
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2018
"Do I excite you, Cash McQuaid? Is that the problem?"
"Yes, Ella. That is exactly the problem."

OMG! I absolutely loved this story! I love it when the hero, who's sworn off love and marriage, finds the one woman that can change his mind! The one woman who sees through his tough exterior and gets right to the heart of him.

Princess Antonella Rossi has led a sheltered life. Kept secluded by her aunt and uncle since her parents died, she now finds herself and her innocence promised to a middle-eastern sheikh. But, she won't let that happen and makes a run for it. Literally on the verge of being dragged back to the altar, a white night appears in a black Mustang and saves her from what she was sure would be a fate worse than death. But, how far will he go to keep her safe, when he doesn't even know her? When it becomes clear that the only thing that can save her, and save his reputation, is the one rule he swore he'd never break, can they keep up the charade long enough to gain her freedom?

Cash "Money" McQuaid just wanted a nice, quiet, weekend fishing at the river. No excitement, no trouble, just relaxation and solitude. That all changes when he comes upon a girl in a wedding dress being manhandled on the roadside. Doing what he does best, he rescues her, but at what cost? He's got two rules: (1) No Marriage; (2) No virgins. Now, with his reputation on the line, and the media believing he's kidnapped her, there is only one way out to save them both. Break rule number one. How long can he hold out before he breaks rule number two?

I loved the banter between these two. She can shock him with a simple sentence and put him in his place with the next. His inner battle between giving in to his desire and doing what he thinks is the right thing was both heartwarming and humorous. These men of HOT are just that!! HOT! And completely swoon-worthy. This is a great addition to the HOT Seal Team series. If you haven't read it, do it as soon as possible!

1.0 out of 5 starsThis hero belongs in historical not modern fiction.
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2019
I have been a devoted fan of Lynn Raye Harris since her debut as an author for Harlequin Presents. I’ve read the first three HOT books and today, I curled up with my phone’s Kindle app and eagerly started reading HOT Seal Bride. After Cash and Ella marry in an effort to protect her from her horrible aunt and uncle—and to prevent her forced marriage to a sheik—Cash contemplates his unwanted desire for his new bride, and he considers seducing her into his bed: “It was his right. She was his bride.”

Those two sentences brought an onslaught of feelings from fear to agony. I would have been less shocked by his perspective if I were reading a historical romance, but such a notion has no place in contemporary American fiction. I spent seventeen years married to a man who demanded sex as his right with no concern for how his selfish, cavalier attitude affected my body and my emotions. I deserved better, though of course, I did not realize that until our marriage ended and I’d spent seven years in (ongoing) therapy.

I’m disappointed because the premise of the book appealed to me, and I truly liked Ella. However, those two lines of internal dialogue found me exiting the book straightaway.

I honestly don’t know if I’ll risk reading another romance by Harris.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite So Far in the HOT SEAL Team Series!
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2020
Verified Purchase
This is a new to me author and it is the fourth book in the series I have read. Cash and Emma's story is my favorite so far. The plot was a really good one and the execution was great. There was never a dull moment for me. There were over 4 dozen laugh out loud moments for me....and rightfully so since Cash has given his fellow teammates such a hard time when they were talking for their women. Here Cash is the ultimate player and has no intention of ever having a serious relationship EVER. Then he decides to go fishing, by himself because his buddies are either with their women or could not make it. Then he stumbles upon a scene that will take him for a wild ride. Ella is doomed to be married...It is her wedding day. She thinks better of her current situation and runs! Then danger lurks, but there is a knight in shinning armor who attempts to help.

These two are funny and more so with the team ribbing Cash!

I look forward to the next book in the series, then I want to read the Black Bandits series...I will have to go back and read the original 14 book series of HOT because I started with the middle series and then realized it. Something to look forward to!

Loved cash and Ella. She is so innocent and sheltered. And he has been battered and bruised by those who were supposed to love and protect him. Both meet under crazy circumstances when she runs away from an arranged marriage to Sheik Fahd. Yes that sounds familiar and is the same man who had sucked Christina into that mess in the Middle East civil war couple books ago. Her aunt and uncle sold her virginity and marriage to him. More was revealed about her lineage and who is the rightful heirs to their exiled throne. Until then cash and Ella run away to protect her from her deranged family and the sheik. Loved how they were both drawn to each other but he was closed off and trying to torte the himself and her from the fallout of losing her virginity. At the rescue scene she is badass in her reactions. So cool. Can’t wait for next book.

5.0 out of 5 stars HOT Cinderella
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2018
Verified Purchase
I’ve read all the HOT novels and loved every single one of them. They never get boring because every character is unique, and each plot offers something fun and new. All the HOT books are, well… HOT, but “HOT SEAL Bride” is a bit of a departure, like a modern “HOT SEAL” fairytale.

Just imagine a “Hostile Operations Team” retelling of Cinderella: “Ella” is a lovely young woman who was orphaned at a young age, taken in by wealthy relatives (with 2 spoiled female cousins, of course), shut away from the world around her. She’s raised to believe that she’s part of a noble family, but of no particular worth, other than to marry well so that can repay the relatives who took her in and raised her. But at the very last minute, she can’t bring herself to go through with the arranged marriage, and tries to leave the estate….

“Prince Charming” is Cash McQuaid, a nice guy from the wrong side of the tracks, with nearly crippling commitment issues. All he wanted to do was spend a few days of Leave at his buddy’s cabin, fishing, but on his way there, he came across Ella, being dragged back to her wedding by a man with a gun, and well…what can I say? He’s a nice guy.

Besides, like he tells Ells, “SEALs save people.”

The most fun thing though, is that this is “HOT” – in all possible ways. There’s lots of tension between Ella and Cash, and there’s suspense, too because both of those things are to be expected in a “HOT” novel, but there’s a fun little bonus of “HOT-ness” because of the touch of the unexpected: Ella’s a Princess, but she’s a little bit shocking. And Cash is a rough-and-ready SEAL who goes through women like Kleenex, yet he’s determined NOT to touch Ella… and it’s pretty darn funny, watching it all unfold.

And the back-and-forth between the guys always make me smile:

“Ella, these two idiots are my teammates. Alex Kamarov and Cody McCormick. You can call them whatever you like, including *sshole - they’ll answer to it.”

Did that make you grin as big as *I* did? After this fun little tale, I can’t wait to read the next one!

5.0 out of 5 stars HOT SEAL Bride Sizzles!
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2018
Verified Purchase
I don’t know if I’m more rocked by this HOT book or by the cliffhanger epilogue, BUT in true Lynn Raye Harris form, HOT SEAL Bride sizzles and left me damn near panting for more. I literally could NOT put it down and read the entire book in one day.

Cash “Money” McQuaid sure as hell isn’t looking for love and he wants nothing to do with virginal Ella, but from the moment he rushes to her rescue he knows there’s more to her story than even she knows.

Ella’s royal family was exiled years ago and she’s spent 14 years virtually a captive of her cruel Aunt and Uncle. When she makes the snap second decision to bolt from a forced and prearranged marriage, she has literally no idea how or where to go.

Cash struggles with a past of his own, and as a hardened warrior he refuses to open his heart even a fraction - despite the way naive Ella continually makes him think of only ONE specific thing - as they escape to keep her safe and unravel the web of lies Ella’s family has spun around her.

When they are ironically forced together in order for him to protect her, Money fails to see that there are already cracks forming in the armor of his guarded heart, no matter how much he says so otherwise.

As his HOT brothers can’t help but razz the self-proclaimed bachelor, Cash finally gives in to kissing untouched and curious Ella. So when she begs him to be her first? Well, that’s as HOT as it could possibly be and sweet Ella wants to learn.it.all. from hard-bodied HOTtie McQuaid.

Ella feels that their connection is the real deal despite Cash’s continued fight against their intense connectionS Can Money finally accept the true cost of happiness and pay with his whole heart for a chance at the future?

5.0 out of 5 stars Karma and Fate in Cahoots
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2018
Verified Purchase
Hostile Operations Team member Chase McQuaid just wants to go fishing. But when his sojourn to a mountain cabin results in him catching a blushing, sweet, gorgeous runaway bride instead of fish. It becomes clear his life has taken a turn he didn't expect or want. When Chase saves sweet, ingenue Ella Rossi from a roadside predicament he thinks he's doing what anyone would. As he discovers, she's much more than a runaway bride. And he must also confront exiled royalty, human trafficing, extortion and his own aversion to marraige. Irony abounds as Chase & Ella are thrown into a charade of a marraige. It's brilliant to read how both karma and fate join together to show Chase just how wrong his "rules* of life really are. Ella turns out to be a much stronger, resilient woman than anyone expects. The forces of HOT, including the legendary Colonel Mendez, provide humorous, creative and necessary support for both Chase & Ella. But the real strength of this story comes from the transformation of our hero couple into better, stronger and loving individuals. Touching situations, hot sex scenes and exciting rescues make this another terrific HOT adventure.

This is an amazing addition to the HOT SEAL Team series with another member, Cash McQuaid finding the love of his life after being forced to marry Ella who he rescued her from getting married to an evil man Shiekh Fahd. She had run away and a security guard was forcing her to return against her will when Cash stepped in and whisked her away. His Commanders decided a plan to save her was to have him marry her to protect her from her aunt and uncle who were forcing this marriage for money. After he had her in hiding her aunt and uncle went on the news to say Cash had kidnapped her instead of saving her. This is where their love story begins as they actually fall in love when he was so against marriage and taking her virginity at all. After getting to know her his views on life completely changed and he could not imagine his life without her. It was exciting how he had to even stop a bullet that her aunt had meant for her when the HOT SEAL unit was rescuing her again. As it turns out they stayed married at the end because they loved each other. Another SEAL had joined the ranks of SEALs that found the women they loved. I cannot wait to read the next release in this amazing series

5.0 out of 5 stars Too sex-obsessed
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2020
Verified Purchase
OK, so I really liked this book. A lot. That Ella was a virgin instead of a semi-slut who had already had a bunch of partners was refreshing. So was the angle that, unlike all the other wives/girlfriends so far, she didn't have a high-powered, globe trotting career or wasn't a badass, lethal assassin who didn't need no man to take care of her, thank you very much. But I REALLY disliked the bit about her masturbating and watching porn. Not EVERY woman masturbates, Lynn Raye Harris! Geez. Nor is every young woman so sex-obsessed that she watches porn, much less likes it. Those two things were gratuitously tawdry and did NOTHING for Ella's character. Cash was awesome.

I enjoyed reading this book. It starts out with action and continues that way. Ella’s future seemed doomed in the beginning. Even though she was reached by Cash, what can she do without $ or ID? But that problem was taken care of in the book. I really liked Ella & Cash together and enjoyed watching their relationship develop. I can see me reading this book again in the future. I recommend.

I think this is one of the hottestvof the Hostile Series. The chemistry between Ella and Cash is smoking.
Princess Ella is a virgin and has been held a prisoner for 14 years by her Aunt and Uncle. She is being forced to marry a Shiek so he can take her money. She escapes before the wedding in a car while still dressed in her wedding gown.
Cash is driving to a cabin to go fishing when he sees Ella's car on the side of the road and someone trying to force her into their car. Cash rescues her. Because of the circumstances, her being a princess on the run, the Hot Team thinks they should marry to save her from the Shiek.
Besides the intrigue, you will also enjoy the humorous side thrown into this nail biting romantic story. I highly recommend this book.
I volunteered to read and review this ARC.
