I enjoyed this steamy novella. While Sam is a member of the Hostile Operations Team (H.O.T.), most of the military action takes place elsewhere. That doesn't mean that there is a lack of action here, as once they reconnect, there's a lot of steamy scenes.Sam and Georgie knew each other when she had a huge crush on him. At one moment they almost took it further, but he was leaving and she was his best buddies sister. I really think she should have clocked him for leaving her at just that moment. You'll understand when you read it.One of Georgie's students, a military man, is missing. Sam checks it out and realizes that Georgie is in the way of some really bad people. He's honor bound to keep close tabs on her.Of course, by keeping his eyes on her, he can barely keep his hands off her. She doesn't seem to mind!There wasn't a lot of info dumping about the previous book, which I like. And there were certainly enough hot guys in the H.O.T. team to provide inspiration for the next book in the series. I also appreciated the author's own military background. She kept the lingo real.I was glad when Sam finally allowed Georgie the right to choose what she wanted for her life, instead of making the decision for her. I'm never fond of the "I'm leaving you for your own good" trope. Georgie was a bright woman who was capable of making up her own mind. Although, I would have loved to have read the "meeting the family" again scene.This was a warm way to spend a few hours and I will certainly be checking out more books by this author.*Thank you, NetGalley and Lynn Raye Harris, for the opportunity to read Hot Mess.
