A HOT Christmas Miracle (Hostile Operations Team #14.5)
by Lynn

Blurb:
But old secrets
begin to resurface and old enemies might be coming back to haunt them. The only
way to know is to hire rogue mercenary Ian Black to do some dirty work while
Mendez stays close to his wife and keeps her safe - and keeps the investigation
a secret from her.
Christmas is a
time of miracles. A season of snowy promises and gifts from the heart. When the
holiday lights twinkle brightest, Mendez will either go on the offensive to
save his family - or discover a truth that’ll change their lives forever.

Review:
A return to our favorite couple and the love
between them that just continues to grow stronger even decades and
tragedy-after-tragedy later. The HOT team has stolen our hearts for years, none
more so than its illustrious leader, General John Mendez, and while he is
finally back in the arms of the love of his life, it never hurts to get another
glimpse of their lives and love—and get to see a bit of a holiday miracle for
them. Mendez and Kat are moving forward
with their lives together finally after being apart almost twenty years, and
losing the child that they created together.
Kat is pregnant and about to give birth to their daughter, Mendez has
been promoted to a General and has time finally to give to the life they are
building together and spending the holidays together is more important than
ever. Both Kat and John are feeling the
loss of their son this holiday as the look forward to welcoming their little
one, but the holidays are going to bring up secrets from their past and might
just offer them both a miracle that neither ever imagined could ever occur for
them. With the season of magic and miracles
upon them, Mendez and Kat might just be given two of the greatest gifts of their
lives if they embrace the love and light around them. I loved this story with all the little plot
twists (which I can’t hint at because it would spoil the magic) and the drama
of the birth of their daughter. Kat and Mendez learn to rely and count on their
HOT family as they have to cope with being new parents at the busiest time of
the year, but we get to see a lot of old friends and enjoy their love for
Mendez & Kat. There were so many sweet and
poignant moments in this relatively short story that I almost had to reach for
the tissues to go with the chocolate supply! I am dying to see what happens
next, but knowing that Mendez and Kat got two miracles to make their lives
truly complete reminds us that the holidays truly are the best time of the year
if we focus less on the material and more on the true importance of the season—love
and family. I cannot wait for the next
book in the series, but if you have been dying for it as I have, this story is a
great way to hold you over until that time.
Thank you for the holiday magic, Lynn!
