A BBW, opposites attract, forced proximity military protector romance from New York Times Bestselling Author Lynn Raye Harris.


Chase “Fiddler” Daniels doesn’t recognize the curvy woman standing on his doorstep begging for help. When he does, it’s a gut punch. Ten years ago, innocent little Sophie Nash got a home and a name when his narcissistic father married her mother. A name that should have been his.

Until someone firebombs his apartment with them still inside…


Aspiring actress Sophie didn’t want to drag Chase into her mess, but he’s the protector she needs - and there’s nowhere else to go. No one she trusts.


Running across continents, trying to stay one step ahead of certain death, has ways of making two people draw close. Especially when they have a history that makes them all wrong for each other.


And when the unthinkable happens, Chase will have to do what he does best. Or lose the only woman he’ll ever love. Permanently.

All Chase “Fiddler” Daniels wanted was some sleep and sex but when Sophie Nash arrives on his doorstep he’s thrust into a high stakes game of cat and mouse where the risks are life and death in this pulse pounding military romance. Sophie only wants her life to return to normal and she needs Chase’s help to do that and the reader can’t help but get sucked into the rush as Sophie finds herself falling for her very hot, very lethal and very forbidden protector. Just because Chase is Sophie’s stepbrother doesn’t mean the chemistry doesn’t burn hot, in fact in their case I’d say it ups the burn to scorching but the relationship is hampered by guilty feelings and past issues that has lots of emotional turbulence flowing from the pages right alongside the heat which grips readers by the heart and adds depth these strong, captivating characters as the fast paced and smooth flowing plot thrills readers with lots of suspense, action and romance. Sophie got herself mixed up with a very dangerous dude and then she added to the spine tingling tension by taking something that belonged to the man and the adrenaline pumping excitement builds as the danger escalates because not only does the bad guy want it back but he has some nasty plans for Sophie so there is never a dull moment as Chase calls in the team to help keep her alive. The intriguing events draw the readers in and guarantee they keep turning the pages as the well written scenes full of vivid details make it easy for the readers to become immersed in the story. Chase and Sophie’s story is one of those stories that you find hard to put down once you start reading it because if you are like me and enjoy getting that heart pounding, ramped up feeling, then you just have to know what happens next and to make their story extra spicy, there is the forbidden element to their romance that makes the passion crackle.

I'm a huge fan of the Hostile Operations Team series from Lynn Raye Harris. I'm not going to lie when I saw it was a step-brother/step-sister romance, I almost stopped reading. However, since I'm such a fan of the author and the characters from this series, I kept reading, and I'm so glad I did. Hot Protector is one of my favorite books in the series. Hot Protector was a super fast-paced story. As with all the Hostile Operations Team books, there is plenty of action, though this is from Russian mobsters rather than a military mission. I was excited for Chase "Fiddler" Daniels to get his story. I loved that even though he didn't like Sophie from when they were kids, he stepped up to protect her as soon as he realized she was in trouble. I have to say based on the history between them, I could understand if he had turned her away, but his mama raised him better than that and it was just another reason I fell in love with him. Sophie had always tried to be friends with Chase when he came out to spend the few summers with his biological father, who happens to be Sophie's adopted father. Chase is the first person she thinks of when she realizes she is in over her head. While I felt like she was pretty naive to not figure out Grigori was a bad person sooner, but she did pick a great guy with Chase to get help when she needed it most. Again the step-brother/step-sister thing almost put me off, but after hearing they only saw each other for 3 summers and limited amount of time then, I no longer really felt like they ever had a true sibling-type relationship. I could tell from the very beginning that both Sophie and Chase were attracted to one another and it really made me laugh as they each tried to fight their attraction. OMG the chemistry between Sophie and Chase was off the charts hot! Seriously my kindle screen steamed up anytime Chase and Sophie touched each other. Even while on the run they couldn't keep their hands off each other. I also love both Chase and Sophie were super protective of each other, but especially Chase. I really felt like it was one of the sweetest parts of his character. While the Hostile Operations Team couldn't really officially be involved since not a military mission, former and current H.O.T. members always have each other's backs. I loved getting to spend time with some of my favorite characters from past books and have to say I'm more in love with Col. Mendez than I was before. I love we get to see his romance with Sam build a little with each book. Hot Protector is the perfect read for anyone who enjoys a hot and sexy romance with suspense and action thrown in. I can't wait to see which H.O.T. member gets the next book and where Ms. Harris takes us.
