Trust Under Fire (Operation: Hot Spot Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Trish McCallan (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 1,726 ratings
Navy SEAL Lucas Trammel is prepared for everything…except falling in love.
Hell, ask him to take out an al Shabaab enclave full of terrorists and he’s your guy. But love? Yeah…clearing a minefield is less dangerous. From day one, Emma Janssen has been an unwelcome temptation. Those soft curves, her thousand-watt smile…Did he regret that weekend? Hell no. But black ops and civilians don’t mix. He walked away for her own good. Now her life is at risk and she needs him.

And this time he’s not walking away.

He dumped her…broke her heart.
Seriously? He thinks he can waltz back into her life like nothing happened? Like she hadn’t lost her mind in his bed and her heart in his arms? No Way. Oh, she isn’t stupid—he owes her and she’s in trouble. So, she’ll accept his assistance. But with conditions…no touching, no kissing, no swaggering around the house in loose jeans and tight t-shirts.

And this time she’s keeping her heart under lock and key.

This book was previously published as Bound by Temptation

Review Snippets!

“This author never disappoints. She always provides an interesting story with intriguing characters and storylines.”


“An absurdly cute canine and a hot, sexy SEAL make reading this a delight!”


“Okay, I admit it. I'm wickedly biased. I love Ms. McCallan's stories, particularly the SEALs stories.”


“Super Sexy Seals? CHECK! Good writing? CHECK! Awesome Story? CHECK! Fabulous Author? CHECK! If you like military stories & sexy men then you really should read Trish's Red Hot Seals Novellas!”


“What did I like? This was a quick read that read like a full-length novel. Detailed and developed with a cast of the most interesting characters. Of course, it is 100% an adult content read but done with finesse. I enjoyed the mystery and intrigue that kept me guessing all the way through and absolutely loved the ending…. Whoa so funny!

What will you like? Hunky guys that will make you drool and tender sex that will reach all the way down to the toes. A very developed storyline that is intriguing and enthralling. The descriptions and details are on the spot for the area and the background. The exciting action will keep you engrossed with every page turning faster than lighting. All with a delightful ending. Look forward too many more books from this author. I received this from the author for an honest review with no compensation.”

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Trish McCallan was born in Eugene, Oregon, and grew up in Washington State, where she began crafting stories at an early age. Her first books were illustrated in crayon, bound with red yarn, and sold for a nickel at her lemonade stand. Trish grew up to earn a bachelor’s degree in English literature with a concentration in creative writing from Western Washington University, taking jobs as a bookkeeper and human- resource specialist before finally quitting her day job to write full time.

Forged in Fire, the first book in her Red Hot SEALs series, came about after a marathon reading session, and a bottle of Nyquil that sparked a vivid dream. She lives today in eastern Washington. An avid animal lover, she currently shares her home with four golden retrievers, a black lab mix and two cats.

He took her home with him to keep her safe.So sore she could hardly move he watched over her . So glad he & histeam Seals we’re able to stop the bad guys.

    Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2023

    They had three nights together and then he was gone. Emma still thinks about what could have been but when he shows up after her home is trashed, she wants nothing more than him to leave. Lucas did what he thought was best. Still, he can’t stomach the thought of something happening to he if he protect her. Will she let him back in?

    Loved these two. I really like that Emma stands up for herself and confronts Lucas. The fact that she takes in an older dog with health issues is so adorable!! And Lucas.. he made a mistake and what he does in the end is so sweet and swoon worthy.

    I only with there was more! Or an epilogue much further out then 1 week.

    A Fantastic Suspense Romance .
    I really enjoyed reading Trust Under Fire .
    It's well written , intriguing and so action packed . The characters are wonderful .
    Emma Janssen headed home after along week at work . She soon discovered someone or some people have broke in her home and trashed it and her belongings . She runs to her car and calls 911 . The police arrive and check things out but whoever did it is long gone . Detective Addario suggests Emma get a dog and told her they would drive by more . Lucas Trammel gets a call from his old team mate Detective Addario who is investigating Emma's breakin .
    Lucas had a short relationship with Emma and basically ghosted her since . He didn't want to put her through a difficult relationship with a military man . Lucas is determined to protect Emma and will do whatever it takes . Emma is not happy to find Lucas waiting for her after he broke her heart . Lucas has his work cut out for him . This story is all out fantastic . I highly recommend reading .

    The basic story, the bones of the story is fine. The author just had to work on filling out the story. It especially needs more tension in the cops and robbers and romantic areas. Make your audience have to hang in there longer for resolutions. Character development is also needed. We barely know Emma. We know even less about Lucas and they are the main 2 characters. The rest of the characters are merely cardboard cut outs that walk through a scene. There was the beginnings of some humor in the first chapter. It needs to be developed and used here and there as well.

    4.0 out of 5 stars I enjoyed this book
    Reviewed in the United States on June 20, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    I enjoyed this book. In fact, I think I enjoyed it more than the first in the series. Though, as a romantic suspense, it’s heavy on the suspense and extremely light on the romance. Which, to my mind, isn’t a very effective way for a second chance romance to work. Maybe it’s because this story was longer, I wasn’t as able to gloss over the niggly little things that bothered me the way I was with the first one. I understand the emotional connection that can be created in a short period of time in a highly stressful situation. I just wasn’t fully feeling that connection between Emma and Lucas. I understand that deep tissue damage can be more extensive than what appears at skin level, but Emma’s reaction to her injuries seems wildly out of proportion to the hurts we’re told she received. And, I know that in times of crisis people can perform feats that seem supernatural. But even though I thought Cuddles was one of the best characters in the book, I’m having a hard time reconciling the personality shift from cowering and terrified to avenging protector in only a matter of days. In spite of all those things, I still had a lot of fun reading this. Following the dark terror that stalked Emma was extremely compelling. Now that we’ve met Rio, I’m anxious to see where his book takes us.

This story has action, bad guys and even an old bad granny. There is also a wonderful romance. Loved reading this and now to finish #3 tonight and make it a trio in one day!
