The Hell-Raiser

Men Out of Uniform #5

by Rhonda Nelson

Sarah Jane Walker was ready to kiss her inheritance goodbye once her greedy stepmother hired security expert Mick Chivers—aka the Hell-Raiser. Sexy Mick was bound to figure out that his new assignment wasn't above breaking a few rules—or laws—in her desperate plan to recover her family legacy. Yet even with the cell door practically slamming, Sarah's knees felt like jelly whenever she looked into Mick's old-soul eyes.

Those baby-blues told her the daredevil was a law unto himself. They said he'd overcome incredible odds to win.

And they dared the smart-mouthed Southern belle to take her best shot—and raise a little hell with him!

This book was kind of disappointing. Not that it was bad, but it failed to deliver. I guess it all comes to expectations. Harlequin Blaze novels are supposed to be quick and hot reads, right? Well, The Hell-Raiser was quick but not as hot as I expected.

I also thought that Mick, the hero, was too hesitant and insecure about himself, and that didn't work for me. In the end, the so-called "mistake" that prompted him to leave the Army wasn't devastating enough to make me buy all the guilt he felt, so I couldn't even commiserate with him.

Sarah Jane, the heroine, was OK but her name annoyed the heck out of me. Why did they have to use both names? Why not call her simply Sarah? Or Jane? And why am I complaining about her name? Probably because the story didn't catch all my attention as it should have, LOL.

I received this book in a 6 book bundle, and ended up reading them back to back! Each story was a fresh concept with great characters. Light, happy reading. I truly enjoyed each story. ... do yourself a favor and give this author a chance.

I have fallen in love with this series! They are so well written and keep you reading until you have read it without realizing it’s done.

Wow, each book is better than the last one, I would recommend this book, and series for mature adults that enjoy stories that are funny, steamy, and romantic.

Mick is a man in transition from being an Army Ranger to trying to find where his next job is. He is struggling with a decision he made that almost cost a man his life. He is tasked to “spy” on a gal who got pushed out of a will.
Enter Sarah Jane. She is a gal who salvages pieces from old homes before they are torn down.
The chemistry between the two is off the charts. Mick soon realizes that he is on the wrong side of the story.

The Hell Raiser review

The Hell Raiser is the fifth romantic book in the Men Out of Uniform series written by author Rhonda Nelson.

Not a cliffhanger

The story was good, but the ending had me rolling my eyes. How do men who are so afraid of commitment manage to marry and impregnate their women within a year of meeting them? Too far-fetched even for my standards!

[Tina]

This book was a lot of fun for me because Rhonda honored me by making me a character in the book. I cook a mean lasagna! If you get a chance check it out!!
