Publisher's summary

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.

Great read!!

I am sorry that this is the end of the line for this group of operators but what an end it was. In this installment we get Zane and Eden's story.

Zane, on leave to Vegas to celebrate his sister's birthday saves a woman from being assaulted and has an instant attraction to her. After a night of too many drinks he wakes the next morning and finds that not only did he have an amazing night with her but the pair got married and they lived near each other. At first the pair decides to get a divorce but then circumstances occur and Zane ends up protecting Eden. All while this is going on, Zane's ex is constantly contacting him and wanting to get back together with him despite still being married causing his some mixed feelings.

Enter Eden. She is in Vegas to celebrate the upcoming nuptials of her sister to the man that Eden not only works for but also feels that she is in love with herself. She has some inferiority issues as well as self image issues that she battles throughout the book. While working on a case with her boss both are attacked and she goes with Zane for protection. While under Zane's protection she struggles with her feelings for her boss as well as the jealousy she has toward Zane's ex while slowly realizing that she loves Zane.

So this pair had instant chemistry and attraction. Where it was not love at first sight I guess we could call it a little slow burn to their feelings. As usual this was an action packed read as we get to the bottom of the attacks on Eden and those around her. Sprinkle in some hot times between the pair and the reappearance of Zane's HOT team mates and we get one great read. I will say that the characters did well with dealing with their issues with their pasts making them relatable. I also have to say that the little twist in the epilogue leaves me anxious to see what is to come.

Overall, this was a great read that moved along well and had me hooked to the story. I in the end would recommend this book to others.

Love These Hostile Operations Team Stories!!

Love the “setup”. A favorite trope of mine is “fake bf/ fiancé”, but there is nothing fake here. Zane and Eden really do get married. With an agreement that they will quietly divorce; that turns out to be easier said than done. With Zane, Eden is bold. Since they have to wait, they decide to date in the meantime. When Eden’s lawyer boss is put in the hospital, and Eden is shot at, Zane goes on full protection mode.

This is intriguing, romantic, completely “upside down” and absolutely fabulous. Pure entertainment.

I read this last year - and it is a special treat for me to "listen" to books I've read and enjoyed. They come across differently "out loud" and the narrations were superb!

Another Amazing HOT Book!

When Zane and Eden wake up married after a night of celebrating they decide they should get a divorce, however, things take a dangerous turn. The more dangerous things became for Eden the more Zane decides he doesn't want a divorce, nor does he know that Eden feels the same way.

Zane decides that until the danger is over that Eden needs to stay with him and boy do the sparks fly!

Loved this story so much!!!

HOT Honor is one of my favorite books ever from Lynn Raye Harris! This book gave me all the happy feels with the romance, and kept me on the edge of my seat with the suspense portion of the book. I was so excited to see Zane "Zany" Scott meet his match in Eden Hall.

I loved Zane and Eden's romance. Eden is in Vegas to celebrate with her twin sister Abby and friends, and Zane is in Vegas to watch over his little sister on her 21st birthday celebration. When Eden is attacked in the elevator, Zane comes to her rescue and they end up spending lots of time together getting drunk, and then deciding to get married. I laughed so hard when they woke up the morning after married and not really happy about the situation.

When Zane comes to her house after they return home, they decide they will continue to be married until they can divorce, and because of his security clearance, she will have to come to HOT headquarters to be briefed about his team. I liked that Zane seemed to want to be with Eden, even though he was honest from the beginning that he never planned to be married, or want to stay married at this time. However, when Eden's boss is shot and then someone takes a shot at Eden later, Zane's protective instincts kick in, and he vows to keep her safe until the shooter is found.

I absolutely loved Zane and Eden together. They had the most amazing chemistry from day one. I loved how Zane lifted Eden up and told her over and over again how sexy she is to him and had me swooning as he described how beautiful he found her freckles. There were lots of smoking hot sexy times between Zane and Eden, but when they just did the simple things for each other, I just fell so much in love with them as a couple.

The suspense portion of HOT Honor was strong. I did suspect who was being the shootings pretty early in the story, but second guessed myself a few times. There is just something about those HOT guys going out to save the women they love that gets me every single time. Eden and Zane's story is absolutely one of my favorite stories from Lynn Raye Harris. I loved spending time with Strike Team #2, and can't wait to see where Ms. Harris takes us in future books.

Both Samantha Cook and Gregory Salinas did amazing jobs with the audiobook for HOT Honor. I truly felt like there was a seamless transition between narrators, and I was never pulled out of the story as each voiced the characters of the opposite sex. The HOT series has a pretty large cast of characters, and I felt like both narrators did a fantastic job differentiating between all the men and women in the book. HOT Honor in audio is one of my favorites ever from Lynn Raye Harris

Sometimes Waking Up In Vegas Turns Out To Be So G!

I have been a fan of Lynn Raye Harris for several years, and I always get very excited when she releases a new book. HOT Honor was no different. I've been extremely excited about Zane and Eden's for weeks now, and after reading their story, I'm happy to announce that the wait was well worth it! I absolutely love this book!! It was such an outstanding balance of mild angst and joy. There were times when I wanted to shake Eden and Zane both for the perceived limitations they put on themselves. I found myself being frustrated with them. However, I loved seeing both characters grow, and learn that flaws can sometimes be not so flawed in someone else's eyes. Thank you, Lynn for yet another wonderful story, and an incredible end to Strike Team Two! I look forward to many more books from you!!

Book 8 in Strike Team 2 series - Zane's story

I cannot express how much I loved this story. When your life gets crazy and you don't even have time to sit and read to unwind, audio books are 100% the way to go. Lynn Raye Harris' books are incredible and Hot Honor is just an example of her incredible writing. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, unless you're a member of HOT. Zane and Eden both have issues from the past to get over and do something crazy.

Lynn takes us on an incredible journey with these two, Eden's sister, and HOT's Strike team 2. Loved getting to catch up with the whole team and their incredible women.

Gregory Salinas and Samantha Cook did an incredible job of bringing Zane and Eden to life. I actually listened to this book twice because I enjoyed it so much I just didn't want it to end.

Not only do I highly recommend Hot Honor, but it is now in my Fav's group so I can keep it for those times where I really need to escape.

Loved It

Ok, this might be my second favorite of the series. I admit, when they woke up married, I thought this is going to be typical. I was mistaken in the best way. This a great (& sweet) story with an even better twist. Loved everything about it!

Hot Honor is phenomenal

Lynn Raye Harris can not write a book that is not fast paced with twists and turns! Hot Honor is such a great book! I love all the characters! Zane and Eden are two great characters and I loved how they came together and how they worked out their feelings! Both of the narrators did an amazing job! I loved the duality of both of them! You can't go wrong reading or listening to a Lynn Raye Harris book!
