 Blurb:

Waking up with a wife is not how black ops soldier Zane “Zany” Scott pictured his first trip to Las Vegas ending. Forever isn’t in his vocabulary anymore. So why did he marry a woman he just met?

Nerdy Eden Hall isn’t the kind of girl people notice. She’s always lived in her twin’s shadow, always been plain and sensible compared to her sister’s big personality. But when her sister gets engaged to the man Eden secretly loves, it’s inevitable she’ll drink too much at the bachelorette party.

It’s not inevitable that she’ll impulsively marry the hottest guy she’s ever laid eyes on, though. Of course they’re going to divorce, but it takes more time to do that than it did to get married. Time in which they’ll discover they’ve got more in common than simply burning up the sheets together.

Just when they think they might have something worth keeping, it all goes wrong and Eden becomes the target of a killer. Zane will have to risk everything to save his wife. Because if he doesn’t, he could lose the woman who, against all odds, kickstarted his heart into beating again.

My review:

HOT Honor is the eighth book in the Hostile Operations Team: Strike Team 2.  Each book can be read as a standalone and the characters from other series cross over a lot, which I love. 

Zane “Zany” Scott is the last single man on his team, and he plans on keeping it that way after he was burned by his girlfriend in high school. He quit doing relationships after she cheated on him and married someone else.  But a trip to Las Vegas for his sister’s birthday ends with him waking up married to a stranger.  Now he cannot get her out of his mind and when her life is at risk, he finds himself jumping in to save her.

Eden Hall was shy and always felt plain compared to her twin sister, Abby.  Everyone loved Abby, even the man Eden had fallen in love with.  After a few too many drinks, Eden sheds her inhibitions and finds herself married the next morning to the handsome man who had saved her the night before.  Can their hasty marriage lead to something good?

This was such a great book and I loved watching Eden slowly gain self-confidence.  Zane was so sweet and couldn’t understand why Eden couldn’t see herself like he did.  They were perfect for each other.  Although they each had their own baggage, together they were able to overcome them.  I loved seeing all the team members again and cannot wait to see what the author has in store for us next.

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.
