Blurb:

Dead to their pasts. Ghosts. No family ties. No connections.

Six men with a top-secret mission move to a small town where they have to navigate local life, protect their secret, and, above all, stay single.


Former Hostile Operations Team soldier Blaze “Shadow” Connolly knows what it’s like to lose everything. He’s got nobody except his job and his team and that’s the way he likes it.

But when he walks into a gas station during a robbery and locks eyes with Emma Grace Sutton, he knows he’ll do anything to protect the pretty girl with the blue glasses.

ER doctor Emma had a bright future until her ex-boyfriend became the kind of nightmare she was certain could never happen to her. With her self-esteem shattered and her confidence in ruins, she left a promising career and returned to her hometown to take over her dad’s small family practice. It’s not what she wants, but it’s what she needs to rebuild her life.

Until she gets that prickly feeling she’s being watched again. Did her ex follow her to Sutton’s Creek or is she’s imagining things? Is she in danger or is it PTSD? She doesn’t know, but she knows a man with the skills to find out. The ruggedly handsome sexy protector who saved her from a bullet once before.

Blaze isn’t supposed to get involved. Doing so could put the mission at risk. But how can he turn Emma away when the desperation in her eyes hints at even darker secrets? He can’t — and that might just be the final nail in his coffin.

A small town, nerdy girl, opposites attract, military protector romance from NYT bestselling author Lynn Raye Harris


My review:

Blaze is the first book in the Ghost Ops series, a spin-off of the HOT series.  It was an amazing book to start the series. I was pulled into the story from the beginning and couldn’t put the book down until I finished. It was easy to read, full of intrigue, and ended with a twist I never saw coming.  The characters were charming and so easy to fall in love with.  

“I love you, Emma Grace Sutton.  I’ve never said those words to a woman before.  Never wanted to.  When I said I’d always find you, I meant always. You’re it for me…”

Former HOT member, Blaze Connolly (Shadow) and his team were on a mission that was so secret they didn’t even know what it was about.  They just knew they had to move to a small town in Alabama and stay under the radar.  
ER doctor Emma Sutton returned to her hometown to take over her father’s family practice after a bad breakup. She thought she was imagining someone watching her, but Blaze said she needed to trust her instincts.  And her instincts were telling her Blaze would keep her safe.
This was a great book and I loved meeting the Ghost Ops team.  The ending of the book leads us into the next book, which is Chance and Rory’s story.  I cannot wait to see how their love/hate relationship turns out.

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