HOT Secrets: A Military Protector Enemies to Lovers Romantic Suspense (Hostile Operations Team® - Strike Team 2) Kindle Edition
An opposites attract, enemies to lovers, military protector romance from New York Times Bestselling Author Lynn Raye Harris.
She nearly ruined his life. Now she needs him to save hers.
Computer hacker Bliss Bennett accepted a simple job: access confidential files and turn them over to the CIA. But something went wrong. Now, she has a target on her back. And the only man who can save her wouldn’t give her a glass of water if she was dying of thirst. Not that she blames him.
But she has to try.
Sky Kelley isn’t the same man who fell in love with the bewitching genius whose lies nearly cost him his military career. These days he’s a badass commando with lethal moves to match his mad hacking skills. And he’s not inclined to do Bliss any favors.
But Sky isn’t wired to turn away anyone in distress. He’ll do what it takes to protect the woman he used to love, but he won’t get emotionally involved. Not ever again.
When a deadly enemy sets his sights on Bliss, Sky realizes a simple truth. To get to her, they have to go through him. And that’s not happening while he’s still breathing.

- Reviewed in Australia on 20 September 2018Verified PurchaseLate one night Sky gets a knock on his door. The person he finds outside his door, is quite possibly the last woman he ever wants to see again, his ex-wife Bliss. Bliss needs Sky’s help because someone is after her, for a hacking job she completed, and now they are trying to eliminate her. Sky doesn’t want to help her but he does and when they uncover what Bliss obtained, they move to solve what they have uncovered!
Love this group of men and women and honestly can say that I hope this series never ends! It’s absolutely amazing with regards to the romance and issues between couples but it also has that element of danger, suspense oh and sexy operators....wink wink:) A must read series, author and book 📚
- Reviewed in Australia on 19 September 2018Verified PurchaseSky and Bliss..... A couple of hackers one works for HOT one contracts out to the government and privately, they were married at one time until it all went to crap and now she needs his help because he is the only one she has ever trusted, ever loved even if he hates her she needs him to keep her alive.
A riveting, vividly action-packed story from one of my all-time favorite authors, I absolutely love these guy's from HOT and the amazing women they fall for are just wonderful stories that make up a family where more often than not blood is not always thicker than water but brotherhood is the strongest bond ever.
- Reviewed in Australia on 7 March 2023Verified PurchaseA story full of intrigue, danger and a lover from the past.
Bliss is on contract to the CIA as a hacker. Sky, her ex husband works for another agency also as a hacker.
Someone is trying to kill her and her ex Sky is the only one who can save her.
Good read that keeps you guessing.
- Reviewed in Australia on 3 October 2018Verified PurchaseSeriously enjoyed this book. It was fast paced and intriguing from the first. Sky & Bliss are superb together and deserved their HEA?
- Reviewed in Australia on 23 October 2018Verified PurchaseGreat read with a combo of action and steamy scenes. Beautifully written with a strong heroine who can hold her own.
- Reviewed in Australia on 19 October 2018Verified PurchaseI absolultely love this whole series, can't count how many times I have reread them.
- Reviewed in Australia on 19 September 2018It’s no secret that I’m a huge fan of ex-husband and wife books, and Lynn Raye Harris has just served us one of the best I’ve read yet. The newest in the HOT series, we’re told the story of Sky ‘Hacker’ Kelley and Bliss ‘Briar Rose’ Bennett. Bliss is a professional hacker for hire, and four years previously she was hired to find proof that a military captain was involved in something shady. One of his men was Sky, and Bliss decided to get closer to the target by getting friendly with his men, but she never anticipated falling into bed with him two hours after they met, marrying him a month later, or him ending it five months after that because he found out about her assignment.
Bliss regrets Sky finding out the way he did and she regrets their marriage ending, because their chemistry was explosive. When her latest assignment appears to make her a target, she turns to the only man she’s ever truly trusted, knowing he’s too good of a man to turn her away.
Sky wants to, because this woman – this woman he can’t stop being attracted to, even though he wants nothing to do with her – almost ruined his career and certainly ruined his trust in relationships. When he realises Bliss really is being targeted, he agrees to help her and brings the HOT team into it when they discover what’s going on – but she has to stop lying to him, hard for a woman who trusts nobody.
The mystery of who wants Bliss dead starts to unravel, and the exes finally give in to the lust and desire that continues to haunt them. Once they actually start to communicate without telling lies and hiding truths, they find that perhaps it’s just not chemistry in the bedroom that they share.
Another five-star read from this author. If you haven’t read any of her books, you’re really missing a treat.
- Reviewed in Australia on 18 September 2018Harris has sucked me into a world full of HOT men and I think that Sky and Bliss might be her most sizzling story yet. They had 6 amazing months together before it all imploded, a relationship built on lies is bound to come crashing down. 4 years on and both Sky and Bliss are living their lives, when Bliss gets herself into hot water there is only 1 person she can trust and ends up on his door begging for help. When the follow-on events of her latest job continue to follow her, Bliss is in serious danger and the HOT team will do everything they can to solve the mystery.
Sky is not only a first-class hacker he is also an elite member of the HOT team, bringing his smarts, good looks and muscle, Sky is not in the market to get his heart stomped on again. Bliss is an extremely smart hacker, she has the world at her fingertips and with money at her disposal she is living the life she always dreamed of.
From the moment I started reading this book I couldn’t put it down, the chemistry between Sky and Bliss is off the charts and even after 4 years they both know that they cannot keep their hands off each other. Harris has done it again, she has hooked me in and kept me on the edge of my seat wondering who was the bad guys.
I personally loved this book and I highly recommend it, although it is part of a series each book is a standalone. This is my 3rd HOT book that I have read I they just keep getting better and better, I cannot wait to read Wolf’s story I am counting down till I can get the next instalment of HOT men.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nerds can be very HOT too!
Verified PurchaseSky 'Hacker' Kelley & Bliss's story was just awesome.
A second chance romance where things get very HOT & very dangerous. The chemistry between the two is still there after four years, where both meet after Bliss runs into some trouble and the only other person she trusts enough and can turn to is her ex-husband.
There was sexy, comedy, banter, intrigue, action and adventure.
It was great seeing more of the team. Can't wait for the next book.
What more can we want from Lynn Raye Harris. Thank you Lynn.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't Get Enough of These HOT Men!!
Verified Purchase"Why are you being so nice to me, Sky?"
"Because you're my girl, Bliss. You'll always be my girl."
Oh, Lordy!! These men of HOT are just that. HOT!! I have loved this series from the start and it just keeps getting better and better! This was a great love-to-hate-to-love story that tugs at your heartstrings! Hurt. Regret. Hate. Love. Fear. All the feels for sure!
Bliss Bennett has lied all her life. She'll play the role to get the job done, then she's gone. As a contract hacker, she's the best of the best. Four years ago, the job went wrong. A life was lost, and two hearts were destroyed. Now, she's in trouble and the one man who hates her is her only ticket to survival. Her ex-husband. The question is, does he hate her enough to turn her away, or is there any part of him that cares enough to help her? If she makes it out of this alive, will she be able to walk away from him again?
Sky "Hacker" Kelly never thought he'd see her again. Not that he ever wanted to . Everything they had was a lie and she destroyed them both. He gave her his heart once. Now he wouldn't give her the time of day. When she shows up on his doorstep, claiming that her life is in danger, why should he believe her? Another con, another dollar - that's her M.O. But, when her story checks out and it's clear that she's crossed the wrong person this time, he can't turn her away. It's not in his nature to be anything but protective. He has no doubt he can keep her safe. Can he say the same about his heart?
Holy Hannah are these two hot together! You could feel the hurt coming off of both of them as they try to get past their pain, but then when they stop fighting what they want - Hoo-Wee!! The chemistry is off the charts!! This is a great addition to the series!! A definite must read!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Next Chapter
Verified PurchaseSky and Bliss, what a pair. Skye can't trust Bliss as she lied to him, even after they were married, and that's unforgivable to Sky. Bliss is in trouble and Sky reluctantly helps her. It's a twisty turny plot that you will thoroughly enjoy. I love the series and I highly recommend anything and everything by this author. you won't be disappointed

5.0 out of 5 stars Never fails!
Verified PurchaseSeriously I havent found a series to keep me this captivated in a long time. I love all of her books and finding myself staying up till ghastly hours trying to get to the next chapter. Five stars all the way!

5.0 out of 5 stars You Never Forget Your First Love
Verified PurchaseSometimes when the past comes knocking, it knocks you square on your you-know-what.
That’s certainly the case when Bliss finds herself on Sky’s doorstep ... and boom-boom-pow, when his beautiful ex begs for him to keep her safe, all of his anger, hurt and mistrust from the past four years barrels against the wall he’d constructed around his heart.
Bliss knows that Sky has every reason to not trust her but where do you turn when the world has turned on you and someone is literally trying to kill you?
But from the moment her HOT protector agrees to help, I could feel that familiar sizzle starting to pop - a rush that is uniquely Lynn Rays Harris’ own brand of literary foreplay.
The “dance” between Sky wanting to do what is right and wanting to hold onto his anger for Bliss’ betrayal was electric.
Lynn’s carefully crafted characters are strategically developed (with military bearing that is both practical and believable) and I love that those personalities are intricately woven through other HOT family stories. It is that character “building” that I love the most about this series. I’ve been curious since Briar Rose was first briefly mentioned and seeing it all come full circle in a way that literally made my heart thud and swell, I couldn’t put this one down, as I begged for these two struggling souls to fight for their happily ever after.
More than anything, Lynn “gets” that romance and sex and relationships are not always rainbows and sunshine. In fact, we all know that any relationship has highs and lows and downright Bliss and Sky and every other character in this series is human ... filled with relatable flaws and pride and struggle and humor that make them not only relatable, but lovable.
You never forget your first love and you will have to see for yourself if Bliss can convince Sky that what they had was special enough to take a second chance on.
