A military protector, home for the holidays romance from New York Times Bestselling Author Lynn Raye Harris.

Twenty years ago, badass military commander John “Viper” Mendez lost the love of his life. But fate brought them back together when he discovered she was still alive. Now they live a happily married life - and Kat’s pregnant. As Christmas approaches, they’re more in love than ever and looking forward to welcoming their new baby.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Merry Christmas to the General and his family

Oh my gosh, this one had some surprises for us. To say any more would be doing the book a disservice, but it's well worth the wait and it is a quick read. I loves the 'family' theme to this story and it answered a lot of the questions I had as I was reading through the series. A quick and excellent holiday story.

As the blurb says it is definitely best to read HOT Valor before you read this one for maximum understanding.

What an incredible story, thank you Lynn. Who would have thought that General John Mendez’s got a soft heart?
This was exactly what happens in this story, way too short, as I liked it so much.

I love the emotions in the story, heart warming to read.
John realizes that he can’t control anything - especially a tiny unborn baby. Babies come when they want to, not when they are supposed to, what a hard way to find that out.
Poor Kat, I loved how she keeps reassuring John that she is fine and in control with each contraction, only to realize that baby Elena is coming - in her own time frame and in a raging snowstorm.

Ian was a rock to them in this incredible story, and reading more of Ian Black makes him WOW. I loved that Ian was the one that changed John and Kat’s Christmas.
He showed that he was a trustworthy friend to both Kat and John when they needed it most.
So sweet that Roman becomes also a topic of the conversations. I loved the outcome of this most; what a surprise, Lynn that had me in tears, hope there will be a story there too.
If you've followed the HOT team through the series, you won't want to miss this one.
I haven't read a single story by Lynn that I didn't thoroughly enjoyed.

I fell in love with these two in their story, HOT Valor, and this story just really shows the love that these two have for each other. They totally complement each other. John is so loving and devoted to Kat and Kat in return is just what John needs to complete his life. I think it’s wonderful to see John freak out a little knowing that soon he is going to have a new little baby in his household and he doesn’t know the first thing to do. We also get to see Ian Black in this story and I love how he comes through for John and Kat in this story. The ending will have you in tears. This story deserves more than 5 stars it’s that good.

Colonel John Mendez and his wife, Kat, are expecting another child…if only it hadn’t taken two decades to get their HEA. If only lies hadn’t kept them apart, they would have shared the joy, then sorrow of losing their first child. Now celebrating their first Christmas together, everything is all sunshine and rainbows…or is it? Something is going to change their lives again! Although a novella, this story still packs the punch…and heat…that we expect from a HOT story! Love love love the ending!!

Mendez and Valentina are back with their lovely surprise from their last book, but Ian comes through with two more big assists! Roman reenters the picture, baby Elena arrives in a rush and they have a lovely Christmas with HOT family and as a new family! It was a sweet and great read. Some new characters were introduced via mention and I hope we see more of Ian, Ghost and others in future books!

General John Mendez & his former- mercenary wife, Kat, are in for a huge surprise this Christmas and not just the birth of their surprise baby. Fans of the Hostile Operations Team series (& spin offs) will really appreciate this story. Cameo appearance from Matt & Eve Gerard & super spy, Ian Black, who is there for moral support when baby arrives really fast. Ian also brings them a second miracle for Christmas. (As a long time fan, that one really stunned me!)

It's wonderful to see John's devotion to his wife and concern that the my second surprise will be too much for her.

If you are new to the HOT team romances, you'll want to read HOT Valor first.

A great holiday treat.

Twenty years ago, badass military commander John "Viper" Mendez thought he had lost the love of his life. Turns out it was all a lie. Now he and Kat are happily married and waiting for the birth of their daughter. It was wonderful watching this tough guy show a softer side.

But Ian Black will bring Mendez some shocking news that will change their life forever. But in order to confirm whether this news is legitimate Mendez will hire Ian for real proof before sharing any information with Kat. Mendez is anxious about Kat giving birth. So when she actually goes into labor it will be a sweet reward when John helps deliver his daughter. The icing on the cake will be their second surprise miracle!!

General Mendez is in the throes of becoming domesticated. He's married his true love Kat, they have a beautiful new home and they're expecting a sweet baby. All these things are way beyond anything John Mendez expected, but he's thrilled. When Ian Black drops a life changing situation on John the result can, again, make their life even more perfect, or miserable. A glorious, seasonal, loving novella. It is true to the sexy, humorous and engaging HOT novels and perfect for the Christmas season, or anytime you want to enjoy loving family times.

Not the usual adrenaline charged book associated with HOT but totally loved the Christmas surprises for Viper and Kat.
As the blurb says it is definitely best to read HOT Valor before you read this one for maximum understanding.
It is relatively quick read but definitely do not start, like I did, reading it, thinking you’ve got time to finish it before you go to work, arghhh totally distracting trying to figure out what happens and concentrate on work:)
Not sure about the cryptic note from Lynn at the end though mmm.......
It’s a long wait but so looking forward to Mal’s book!
