Black List (Black's Bandits - Book 1): HOT Heroes for Hire: Mercenaries Kindle Edition

4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,626 ratings

A mistaken identity, grumpy/sunshine, military protector romance from New York Times Bestselling Author Lynn Raye Harris.

Jace Kaiser’s past is a tragedy. His future isn’t his own. His only loyalty is to the private security group who saved him, and the man who leads them. Until he meets her.

Tasked with capturing a deadly assassin and bringing her in, flawed intel leads to disaster when Jace abducts a perky art appraiser instead. Not that he believes her at first. The woman insists she’s Dr. Madeline Cole, that she’s innocent, but Jace has an assignment and he’s going to complete it.

Maddy has never been in trouble in her life. She’s a good girl, a hard worker, and she needs this job to take care of her ailing grandmother. Being forcibly held against her will by the sexiest - and grumpiest - man she’s ever laid eyes on, a man who insists she’s someone she’s not, is definitely not part of the plan.

Even when her identity is sorted, she’s not free to go. She’s now a target in a deadly game, and the only thing standing between her and certain death is the dangerous man who swears he’ll die before he lets anything happen to her.

For Jace, keeping sweet Maddy safe has become the most important assignment of his life. But protecting her might not be enough. Because Jace has secrets that could destroy them both. And someone is determined to do just that…

**Start reading the Black’s Bandits Series today and enjoy an action-packed, seriously romantic and steamy-good-fun military romantic suspense. Each book can be read as a standalone. No cliffhangers or cheating and a guaranteed happily-ever-after ending!

Lynn Raye Harris - Black List (Black's Bandits - Book 1): H.O.T. Heroes for Hire: Mercenaries (April 23, 2019)

Genre: Contemporary/Military Romance
Heat Level: Hot
Stars: 5

In Ms. Harris' style, the first installment takes off at rocket speed and doesn't let up until you close the book. Black's Bandits is a spin-off of the Hostile Operations Team (H.O.T.) series and one I have been waiting for with great excitement and anticipation.

Sprinkled throughout the H.O.T. Series, Ian Black has shown up at the right time for many of the H.O.T. missions. Colonel John VIPER Mendez, H.O.T. leader, has stated that Black is a mystery and has wondered if he is the enemy, a disavowed C.I.A. agent that isn't disavowed at all, or maybe a mercenary for hire. Regardless, Ian Black has helped Mendez and his men on several occasions, so for now, Mendez will count him as one of the good guys.

The first installment is about Jace Kaiser, who Ian Black saved seven (7) years ago after his parents and sister were taken away by the Russians and killed. For seven (7 ) years, Jace has traveled the world for Black Defense International, doing whatever was required to take the bad guys down and make the world a little better place to live. Jace has no intention of ever settling down, He knows Russia has a target on his back and anyone that he cared for would become a target too. That was until he met Dr. Madeline Cole.

Jace's assignment was to take out an assassin, Calypso, and take her to H.Q. The mission didn't go as planned. Instead of taking Calypso, he kidnapped Dr. Madeline Cole. When it became clear that Madeline (Maddy) was targeted for elimination, Jace pledges to protect her with his life. As time continues, they grow closer, and Jace must pull away, for Maddy's own good. He will walk away as soon as Maddy is safe. He can't allow her to be on the run from the Russians too.

There are twists and turns in any good book, but I didn't see one coming for Jace. Someone from his past shows up that not only surprises Jace but the entire team. Will Jace be able to walk away, will Maddy allow him to walk. Find out and start reading one of the best authors for military romance, mystery, covert thrillers you can find.

I started this series a bit backwards…with Ian & Natasha’s story, then Jared & Libby, and got hooked. Now I’m at the beginning…Jase, formerly Nokali, misidentifies and kidnaps Maddie from the home of a wealthy Russian where she was cataloging his art collection. Being mistaken for a notorious assassin is not something that Maddie could have dreamed up but it’s happened and she’s back home trying to move on. Except that the ruggedly handsome man who kidnapped her wants to get to know her and she can’t deny the attraction between them. Now if Jase and the BDI team can keep her safe, especially since they’ve inadvertently put her in the assassin’s sights. Action, steamy romance and a swoon worthy hero. Couldn’t ask for more in a romantic suspense.

This story caught my attention immediately. There is so much action and keeps you wondering from one word to the next. The chemistry between Jace and Mandy is hot and magical. I was riveted from the start!

The theme of Harris' books just keep getting better. This one has Jace fall for Maddy without realizing it until it's almost too late. Jace is one of Black's Bandits; Maddy is an art appraiser who is sent by her employer to Russia to appraise the newest collection owned by a very rich oligarch. However she gets caught up in something she never believed could happen and gets mistaken for a very professional assassin, kidnapped by Jace and taken back to the US. Once the mistake is discovered, Jace is starting to feel something for the pretty appraiser. As we get deeper into the story, the intrigue gets deeper and a whole lot action starts as well. Not one of Harris's best, but it certainly grabs and holds your attention to the very blast page. I eager to see which Bandit in up next.

I just loved this book. It sucked my in from the first page and didn't let go. I ended up reading it in 1 day. This book is a perfect example of what a romantic suspense book should be. Jace was such a great alpha male lead. Strong, protective, and flawed. And I loved Maddy. Caught up in a situation not of her making, she held her own. Their attraction to each other never felt forced - it was like getting caught in a wave and they just feel into each other. And the suspense of who Calypso was, well that caught me off guard. The story moved at a great pace that keep me on the edge of my seat. I was thrilled that Jace and Maddy got their HEA. I have read all the HOT books, and now I can't wait to read the rest in this series.

Interesting storyline. It’s easy to see the Calypso thread will go through several books. Nice introduction to this band of Black’s Bandits,

This was a new author to me. I really enjoyed the book. The things I look for and make me enjoy it more is the fact that this had a good pace which was smooth and even. The editing was good. The characters were believable. And the plot of the storyline was really good. All in all a good read.

Yes folks Lynnn Raye- Harris's new series has been long awaited by her fans, and worth the wait. Hot Book Boyfriend Ian Black, dynamic, ultra intelligent, and dangerously hot, is heading a team of mercenaries with a difference. Saving many a day for the Hostile Operations Team (HOT) Misunderstood, but respected by many, he was an enigma but now thanks to Lynn, his creator we are getting to know him. This debut novel focuses on team member Jace who meets Maddy in a very unusual and dangerous way, and the danger keeps on coming. Hot suspense that will keep you turning the pages til the end, that you don't want to end. If that makes sense you are already a fan of this amazing author.
