For HOT soldier Noah Cross, everything is easy. Until he inherits a 2-year-old and needs a nanny ASAP!
EXCERPT
A woman in a tailored suit walked inside carrying a cute little girl with blond pigtails.
The woman’s gaze landed on him before she started in his direction.
“Noah Cross?” she asked as she stopped at the table.
He frowned up at her. “Yeah.”
She stuck out a hand. “I’m Lillian Calvert.”
He shook her hand quickly. A waitress hurried over and asked, “Do you need a high chair?”
“Thank you, yes,” Lillian said, her tone brisk.
“Mama,” the little girl said as Lillian put her into the high chair and collapsed onto the seat.
“Mama’s not here, sweetie,” Lillian said softly. “Would you like to color?”
She put the placemat with the picture and a crayon the waitress had given her onto the table where the little girl could scribble. The child took the crayon and started coloring big swaths across the paper.
Lillian blew out a breath and rummaged around in the giant satchel she’d set onto the booth seat. Noah had a million questions, but he bit them back and waited.
“Mr. Cross,” she finally said as she pulled out a folder from her bag and placed it on the table. “I’m very sorry for your loss. Your sister left a will, and in it she named you Alice’s guardian.
“It’s not possible,” Noah said, his voice feeling as if it belonged to someone else. Dry. Cracked. Rusty.
Lillian blinked at him. “I assure you it is. There are no other living relatives.” She turned her head a fraction. “This is Alice. Your niece.”

ARC received from author
It seems like everything for Easy is just that, easy, until he inherits a baby. Special Forces didn't teach him how to take care of a little one, but thanks to Google and Jenna he may have figured it out. Jenna falls quickly for Easy and little Alice but there is a bad guy looking for her. Of course the bad guy finds her and the HOT team all pitches in to help. There is even an appearance from Mendez, just wish the Bandits had been around too.
Who's next? I can't wait to see. Maybe some day Shade will have all the glitter out of Lynn's carpet and get his own book. Lynn's emails are great, if you don't subscribe to them you really should.

Noah is an elite Strike Team 2 member with a traumatic past in the foster system. The demons he holds close to the vest have made him a very strong & honorable man, but it also has given him the mindset that he doesn't want a family in his life. However, fate has another plan in store for him, as his sister has died prematurely, and since they were estranged at the time of her untimely passing, he doesn't know he has a niece until that niece is physically given to him in person by an attorney. He doesn't know what to do with this super cute tiny human but he knows he won't let her go into the foster system. Jenna is busting her behind to just float along as she can't do anything she had originally planned to do because of her being on the run for witnessing something she shouldn't have, so now she's under the radar. One thing is for sure, she has a crush on Noah, who comes into the diner she works at, but she knows she'll never do anything about it because of her life on the lam. However, life takes another turn, and she ends up working for Noah as his niece's nanny, so things get a tad complicated since they have the sparks flying. Noah knows he should stay away but he can't help himself, and it's after they finally give in to the undeniable chemistry that he learns about Jenna's past. The story was a page turner anyway, but once Noah & his team got involved with keeping her safe, man it just really took off from there as the twists were coming in hot. I LOVED LOVED LOVED this story so much, but that's not shocking since I LOVE LOVE LOVE this author, and everyone needs it in their lives to be honest. So to see how everything pans out, well, you'll have to hit those one click buttons because who doesn't love hot military men amirite?! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Loved it!
To be honest, I don't remember much about Noah "Easy" Cross from earlier books in the series, but once I started reading, I didn't care. You get to know him very well early on. I loved this hero! Noah came from such a difficult past that his "Easy" nickname defies, and when he's thrown an extreme curveball by learning his sister has died and he's been given custody of the two-year-old daughter he didn't know she had, life becomes anything but easy. It's such a tender, emotional journey to see this hardened soldier fall in love with his niece over the course of the book. From Day 1, he's determined to do the right thing for little Alice--but he has a hard time believing that he's the right thing.
And Jenna is one of my favorite heroines in Ms. Harris's Strike Team 2 series. On the run from the mob after witnessing her boss being murdered, she makes a point of not drawing attention to herself and not making emotional connections in case she has to pack up and leave. Of course, there are sparks between Noah and Jenna when he comes into the diner where she's a waitress, but once the sweet little girl and uncle who is way out of his depth with fatherhood meet, she gets hit with all the feels, too.
Simple plot. Jenna gets fired and needs a job. Noah needs a nanny. Living together and taking care of Alice leads to close quarters and emotional revelations and plenty of sexual tension. Hitman tracks down Jenna (no spoilers!) and Noah and his team come to the rescue. Of course, Jenna is just as protective of little Alice as Noah is. Woe to the bad guy who forgets the ferocity of a mother defending her family. ;)
Another great read from Ms. Harris!

Noah is content with his life as he has a fulfilling career he loves and is friends with the members of his team. Finding out that his foster sister has passed away and that he is now responsible for her two-year-old daughter Alice was a surprise he was unprepared for. He needs a nanny and believes that Jenna is perfect for the job and now he just needs to convince her.
Jenna is trying to stay one step ahead of her past and didn’t want to bring her troubles to Noah’s door however when she finds herself unemployed it is an opportunity she can’t turn down. There is no denying the chemistry and connection between them but when her past catches up with her will Noah be able to keep her and Alice safe?
Romance and intrigue combine as Noah finds what he didn’t know was missing in his life with Jenna and Alice.

"He never thought he was the kind of guy who'd want people in his house. But now he had Jenna and Alice, and it wasn't bad at all."
I have loved the men of HOT since the very beginning. Each one has his own endearing qualities, and each one has made my heart swoon!! Noah "Easy" Cross is no exception.
So, we have Noah, who is unexpectedly thrust in to single parenthood, and like most men (sorry guys, but its largely true) he's pretty clueless. How is he supposed to mix deploying at a moment's notice and being a single dad? Well that's where Jenna comes in. She's in a pickle herself but the timing couldn't have been better. But, she's hiding a dangerous secret - one that could put all of them in danger.
I really liked the chemistry between these two characters. Noah, so used to being alone and living on the fly, and Jenna who, even though her life is a shambles, provides a way for Noah to stay grounded. And those between-the-sheets times? Holy Hannah!!
Oh, and I loved Aunt Maggie!!
if you love romantic suspense with yummy military men, definitely check this series out!

NOT Courage
Another FANTASTIC story by Lynn! This story is about basically two orphans who meet and fall for each other. Noah's foster sister leaves her baby girl with him and she is totally adorable! Aunt Maggie is a hoot! This story involves the Strike 2 team and the mafia. It always seems to get intense towards the end of the book. Glad everything works out! FANTASTIC job Lynn! I would highly recommend this book! Can't wait for Gem's book!

Easy and Jenna😍
Noah ‘Easy’ Cross is a part of an elite team. When he receives a message from a lawyer pertaining to his foster sister asking to schedule a time to meet…Noah is unprepared for the outcome😢 His estranged sister has passed away and left behind a small gift, in the form of a little girl, Alice. With nowhere to turn for help, when it appears Jenna knows what she’s doing, Noah offers her a nanny position😁
Jenna is about to lose her waitressing job and takes Noah up on his offer. Unfortunately, she’s still on the run - so it will have to be temporary until she can get out of dodge😳
A wonderful story, full of great characters, suspense and emotion❣️I loved it and I’m excited to find out more after that ending…I received an advanced copy and voluntarily leave my honest review

*Disclaimer, I received an ARC in exchange for my honest review*
God I’ve been so excited for this book! The HOT series is probably my all time favorite series and anytime these books come out, I literally drop everything that I’m doing, stop reading my current book, and just dive right into the new HOT book. And let me tell ya, this one is perfect!
So it’s finally Noah “easy” Cross’s turn on the love train, and boy does Noah not disappoint at all! Noah’s entire world is upended when he finds out his foster sister died and he’s suddenly the legal guardian of her two-year-old child, Alice, who is quite the cutie! Noah has no experience with children and has no clue what to do with this his cute little niece. And that’s where Jenna Lane comes into play.
Now Jenna’s been on the run for a couple months after hearing her boss get murdered. She’s been working at a little diner for a while and it’s one that Noah frequents and always asks for her section. And thankfully for Noah, Jenna comes to the rescue when little Alice starts crying and asking for her mama, which makes Noah realize he needs a nanny, and who better to ask than the woman currently consoling the child? Problem is Jenna says no…or she does until she gets fired from the diner and needs a job.
So now Jenna is living with Noah and Alice, taking care of the little girl and trying to deny her feelings for the very attractive special ops soldier. Sounds like an easy time right? Haha, yeah…sure. And of course, Noah is also trying to deny his feelings for his nanny because, well, she’s the nanny. Duh.
I honestly don’t think I could ever explain how much I love this series and how each book just gets better and better. Like who doesn’t love a special ops military man (sometimes woman) who ends up falling in love with someone who needs their help? Like, romance, action, chemistry, witty banter and funny moments? Seriously, what more could you ask for?
Especially when it’s someone like Noah, who is so kind and considerate and perfect and handsome and charming and funny…I digress. And Noah and Jenna’s relationship is so cute and relieving because it’s real. They deny their feelings but when they give in, they fall fast but it’s not unrealistic. Lynn is always good about making these relationships realistic, which I love!
And can we talk about little Alice being so cute and how precious Noah is when he holds her and teaches her things and she calls him “unk no”? Like god my heart is shattering!
Little updates on the rest of the team! We do get to hear from the entire team, even Jake and Eva are mentioned! Cade and Brooke are trying for a baby, which if you read the bonus epilogue, she’s pregnant in that! Haylee and Wolf are still expecting their baby. Bliss and Sky are still happily engaged as is Mal and Scarlett! Gem is single throughout this entire book until the bonus epilogue, where it mentions he’s getting married, so I’m thinking that’s probably gonna be a short novella, kind of like Billy’s book? Maybe? Also we get a short little scene with Mendez as he walks Jenna down the aisle!
As of right now, Dax’s book is the next one out, which I’m super excited for as he has to protect a romance writer!

I’ve come to the conclusion that romances that include kids are still not my cup of tea. 🤣
However, Easy made me laugh and Aunt Maggie was such a freaking awesome supporting character. And the tension between Easy and Jenna was A+.
The OP was… meh. I feel like there could have been more excitement. I feel like HOT hasn’t gotten involved, officially, in these books recently and I miss it. I miss seeing Mendez and Ghost.
Spice was good but I wanted more. There can always be more spice 😂

⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 Found the story to be a little lacking depth. They fell in love a little too quickly, moving quite fast in their relationship. So much that I wasn’t clear on why they loved each other since they didn’t really know each other.

Ok
Ok read. Enjoyed this book, however it's not one of my favorites. Noah and Jeanie book is predictable and not as HOT as the others. But the whole series is great

So Good!
Noah, or as he’s called by his team, Easy, got knocked off his feet when his foster sister passed away from a car accident. She left Noah with her two year old daughter, Alice, for him to raise without him having any experience with kids. He knows absolutely nothing about kids, not what to feed them, how to care for them or what they like to do. He’s in a pickle. Having been raised in foster care since he was ten, Noah didn’t have a happy or enlightening childhood. He and his foster sister, Sally, were both abused by their foster parents.
I love how quickly Noah realizes Alice is going to need love and stability in her life. He doesn’t hesitate to think that she needs more than what he had growing up. He won’t even think of her growing up in the foster system. Even though Jenna is currently a waitress, I thought it was sensible and smart for Noah to offer her a job being nanny to Alice. Jenna is a sweet and kind person and takes a liking to Alice immediately.
I love how quickly Noah and Jenna get into a home routine with Alice. They might even grow to have feelings for each other until Jenna gets spooked by a phone call. Jenna’s former employer, Sam, was a lawyer for the Las Vegas mafia. When Jenna accidentally becomes a witness to Sam’s murder, the mafia enforcer, Owen Fisher, is after her. Even without Noah’s team at her back, Jenna is still a brave, young woman.
This book has some tender moments, hot sexy moments, and some terrifying and dangerous ones too. It’s very exciting from start to finish. I just love how Noah comes to realize his love for Alice and refuses to give her up. I also love how Noah finally admits his love for Jenna right before she is to meet with the enforcer to save Alice and her aunt Maggie.
This is a fabulous story, well written and focused on detail. Love, Love, this HOT team!

I also love how Noah finally admits his love for Jenna right before she is to meet with the enforcer to save Alice and her aunt Maggie.
This is a fabulous story, well written and focused on detail. Love, Love, this HOT team!

Noah & Jenna + Alice
Talk about being at the wrong place or the right place at definitely the wrong time. Jenna sees something she shouldn't have and could cost her life. Time to run. She stays a while then moves on, rinse repeat. It's getting time to move on again when a customer, a hot military guy, is in a jam. The single man with no blood relatives has just been bequeathed the toddler daughter of his foster sister. Single, part of a dangerous Strike Team, he isn't in a position to take on the child. Yet, the only family he'd ever had and had lost touch with trusted him with the sweet little scared girl. Nanny. That is what his teammates and their wives told him. They helped but that couldn't go on forever. Jenna! The waitress was so good with people and kids.
She'd just lost her waitress job where they met. But she didn't want to put Noah and Alice in danger. Although so far no one had caught up to her. She gave in.
Both of them had reasons to keep their distance. Sometimes feelings overcome common sense.
Great characters, the team was there to help when danger roars. His feelings he wasn't cut out to take care of a little one changed as this little one crawled right into his heart and hung on along with the gorgeous Jenna. A family. Something he'd never envisioned. Was it possible or would her danger catch up to them?
A page-turner, wonderful characters old and new, a baby to capture anyone's heart, intrigue, danger, and lots of steam.

Noah ‘Easy’ Cross is shocked when he learns his recently deceased foster sister left him custody of her two year old daughter. This single HOT Operator has no clue what to do with a 2-year old. The waitress at the diner her frequents suggests using Google to answer his questions, and he offers her a live in nanny position which she declines.
A week later, when Noah returns to the dinner with Alice for ice cream he once again asks Jenna to be his niece’s nanny and she agrees to think about it. Being fired from the diner leaves her few other choices.
These two barely know each other, but Easy quickly adjusts to coming home to home cooked meals, and the two ladies living in his home. He tries to keep his eyes and hands off the beautiful Nanny, but that only lasts so long.
A danger from Jenna’s past reappears and Easy and his teammates step up to handle it before being deployed. Strike Team 2 and their ladies appear in the story and welcome Jenna and little Alice to
The HOT family.
I always am eager to read the next HOT book to see what the guys and their ladies are up to, and to discover who is next to find love in unconventional circumstances. The stories are always attention getting and full of action and emotion. Definitely a must read series!

HOT Courage was another winner from Lynn Raye Harris. I swear this series just gets better with each new release.
Noah “Easy” Cross is thrown for a loop when he discovers his foster sister passed away and left him her toddler daughter Alice to raise. He gets help from and neighbor and even some of his coworker’s, but knows Alice needs some consistency in her life, and he knows Jenna Lane is the right person for the job.
Jenna Lane is hiding out after hearing something she shouldn’t have at her old job in Vegas. When she is fired from her waitressing job, taking Noah up on the offer of being Alice’s nanny is the perfect way to save some cash and not be out in public any longer.
I loved how Jenna helped Noah learn to be a great parent to Alice. They were just the sweetest little family. Noah and Jenna had been attracted to one another when she waited on him at the diner, and once they were in the same house, the attraction only grew stronger. I loved them as a couple, and really loved Noah was open about his past in foster care with Jenna, even as it absolutely broke my heart to hear about his past.
HOT Courage kept me guessing as to when Jenna’s past would surface, and it was done so very well. Ms. Harris once again kept me on the edge of my seat with the action in this story, and I loved every single moment.
I was provided the audiobook for an honest review. I thought both Grace Grant and Gregory Salinas did an amazing job with HOT Courage. Both narrators were fantastic with all the different character’s voices, and there was a seamless transition from narrator to narrator in this book. I absolutely love this series, and the audiobooks have all been winners in my opinion. I highly recommend this and all the other books in this series of books to fans of romantic suspense books.

Hot Courage is another winning story in the HOT series!
If you like stories about a single father, then this is the story for you. Noah “Easy” Cross is a HOT operator and lives a very easy life. He suddenly finds himself the single father of his sister’s 2-year-old daughter. To say that he is shocked would be an understatement. This man knows nothing about kids and he’s also reeling from the fact that he didn’t know he was an uncle. You can’t help but feel sorry for not only him but little Alice as well. Thankfully Jenna agrees to be Alice’s nanny and settles in with her and Noah. Poor Jenna has her own issues that she’s dealing with, but she is the perfect person to care for Alice and also show Noah that he has so much to offer Alice in terms of love and becoming a family. Watching Noah and Jenna grow closer together while caring for Alice was fun to watch. Plus, when Noah realizes the danger that Jenna is in, he steps up to help her without batting an eye. These two were meant for each other and throw in Jenna’s Aunt Meg and this is truly a wonderful story that you don’t want to miss out on.

I’ve always wondered why Noah Cross’s call sign is Easy. It felt too… easy to be something simple and straightforward. Turns out Noah has a complicated background growing up in the foster care system. There’s a scene where he reveals his childhood and the history of his call sign to his teammates and it gave me all the feels of a Lynn Raye Harris book.
His late foster sister’s daughter, Alice, is adorable and I wanted the honor of her handing me her toys (one at a time, of course). Noah never handed his responsibility for Alice off to Jenna or others or did the bare minimum. He was right there like a father should be everyday and sadly isn’t how a lot are with their own biological children.
It was great to see past characters from Strike Team 2 and several new faces for future books. The team coming together is always my favorite part in these books. I’m excited to see what happened to Gem on their (off-page) mission that pairs him with his heroine.

Noah (AKA Easy) is about to get a crash course in caring for a toddler! When his estranged foster-sister passes away and he inherits his niece, Alice, Noah is going to need all his friends for advice in caring for a young child. But he can't rely on them forever - he needs a permanent fix, or at least one until he decides what is best for Alice.
Jenna hates her boss at the Diner but when you're on the run you take what job you can get. Stying under the radar is pretty much her only requirement. But when she gets fired, Noah offers her a lifeline. But whilst it may be exactly what she needs, she's terrified that she may put them in danger.
Fab addition to the series. Friends to lovers, instant family, heroine in danger, Alpha hero out of his depth - all the good things! Jenna and Noah were a great match and their similar reasons for not getting involved were realistic. Little Alice was just cuteness personified and you just knew that Noah wasn't going to say no for long to that little angel staying!
Action, adventure, passion and a chance to meet your team favourites. When danger comes calling, this lot a ready to leap into action!

Noah ‘Easy’ Cross is part of an elite special forces team. So when he gets a message from a lawyer to meet and he inherits a little girl after his foster sister dies, his life is not that easy going anymore. Now he needs a nanny urgently. So offering the waitress at the diner he frequents a job to look after little Alice might not be a good idea but he is desperate.
Jenna is on the verge of losing her job at the diner. She’s also living in a trailer with a room mate just to save on rent, but its not an ideal situation. When Noah offers her a job as a nanny, it might not be a good idea as she is on the run. But in the end she doesn’t have a choice… But living together might just be more than she can handle especially when it seems like they are becoming more and more like their own little family. So maybe it’s time to tell Noah her secret… Right…
Lots of intrigue, suspense and danger and romance thrown in the mix. Add in a little baby and a story that will melt your heart. This was my first story by this author and I definitely enjoyed it. Love a good romance story with some suspense in the mix 😊

HOT Courage is another Hostile Operations Team, Strike Team 2 with not only a hot HOT Team member but also a sweet cute little baby girl. Lynn Raye Harris has outdone herself this time. Jenna Lane may think that she can avoid the inevitable pull but Noah Cross is great on his own or with his team but impossible to resist with his niece that he is now raising.
This story has Jenna running from a moment where she was in the wrong place and saw something she shouldn’t have. Becoming little Alice’s nanny gives her a support that she has not had in the past. Noah and Jenna make a great team for the little one, then Noah is all about stopping the danger that comes towards Jenna. This s a sweet with steam romantic read from beginning to conclusion.
Easy to fall in love with this newly made family. Like all of this series there is a HEA that is complete by the end. Also not necessary to read in order. However, if this is your first read of the series you will definitely want to read more.

A hot and captivating story
I just love this series about Strike Team 2.
This time Noah Cross' life is turned upside down when his sister dies and he suddenly has to look after a two-year-old girl. But how can he juggle his job and parental duties? For Noah, known as Easy, the only way is with a nanny.
After Jenna witnesses a crime, she is on the run and her situation is more than desperate after she loses her job. She takes on the babysitting job of Easy's niece.
But the danger is still there and Easy has no idea.
The author's writing style is wonderful and very captivating. I love the mix of romance, suspense and action and the great chemistry between the two main protagonists. Once again, this was a book I couldn't put down. A plus was Easy's little niece Alice, she is adorable.
Gregory Salinas did a great job as always and narrated brilliantly. Grace Grant also narrated well. I loved how both narrators brought across the emotions and personalities of this great story and brought the story to life. Highly recommended!

Noah’s foster sister dies suddenly and even though they hadn’t been in touch recently she leaves Noah a life changing inheritance!!!
Alice is Noah’s cute as a button toddler niece who Noah didn’t even know he had and now he is an instant father…
Noah needs a live in nanny, Jenna needs a job this is kismet right???
Noah and Jenna can fight their attraction to each other to look after Alice, right?
Jenna has a secret she is running from though so how long can she stay before everyone around her is in danger?
Jenna needs to trust Noah and Noah needs his HOT brothers to keep his new family safe.

AMAZING !!!!
When Noah becomes the guardian of 2 year old Alice, his life is now anything but Easy.
Noah has no experience with children and has no clue what to do with his cute niece.
Jenna, who is on the run from the mafia after she heard her boss being killed, is afraid she will be next.
Working in a diner is where she meets Noah.
She’s fired from the diner and Noah offers her the nanny job.
After Noah hires Jenna as Alice's nanny, he finds out that he isn't the only one who needs help.
Noah and the HOT team worked to save Jenna, these guys are always ready to help out any member of their “family” and I just love it.
A wonderful story, full of great characters, suspense and emotion that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Super cute book about Jenna and Noah and how they navigate a relationship and a baby that was left in Noah's care. I've been on a secret baby kick (even though this isn't really like that) and this was a good read.
Noah is a part of the Strike Team. His job is dangerous and his only family is his team members. Growing up in foster care, Noah had a foster sibling that he was close to, though they drifted apart in recent years. When she passed away, Noah was informed that he was the guardian for his niece. Knowing nothing about babies and feeling overwhelmed because his lifestyle makes it difficult to care for a child, he turns to Jenna, a waitress who works at the restaurant he frequents. Jenna has some experience with children, but she's hiding a huge secret about why she works as a waitress. Noah offers her a job being a nanny to his niece, and Jenna finds not only a family, but also someone who takes care and protects her as well.
A good addition to the series. If you read the other books in the series, you'll see many familiar characters.

This series is aptly named…HOT…and next in line is Noah aka Easy. Unfortunately his easy streak has ended when his “niece” Alice is placed in his care. He doesn’t know the first thing about children and takes some advice from his regular waitress, Jenna, who is experienced in child care. Jenna has noticed Noah since he started coming to the diner and has been his regular waitress for awhile, and now that he is in over his head he asks for her help and offers her a nanny job. She’s reluctant to take the job, not wanting to put either of them in danger but when she loses her job, she takes the chance. Now she just can’t get too close to Noah or Alice because if the danger comes knocking she will need to leave….or can Noah protect her.
A great read with steam, suspense, and amazing characters. I loved these two, strong apart and together, raising a toddler and bonding, revealing pasts, heartaches and tragedies. The story flowed beautifully without skipping a beat and I can’t wait for the next one.
