HOT Shot by Lynn Raye Harris

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Cool under pressure… Until now.

Hostile Operations Team sniper Jack “Hawk” Hunter is cool, methodical, and utterly lethal. Nothing rattles Jack’s calm. But that was before he learned he fathered a child three years ago—a child who has just been kidnapped.

Gina Domenico is a superstar, a pop sensation with a string of hit records. But deep inside, she’s still the lonely girl she’s always been. When Jack saved her from an arms dealer, they spent three unforgettable days together waiting for rescue—and Gina fell hard for the sexy soldier before he walked away forever.

But now she needs his help and she’ll do anything to get it. Though Jack can never forgive Gina for keeping his child from him, he’ll do everything in his power—and HOT’s—to bring their son home safely. 

Nothing is what it seems, however, and their fates hang in the balance as someone else pulls the strings…and brings them ever closer to an explosive confrontation that could either save their son—or cost them everything.¹

The heroine: Gina Domenico – she is a successful pop star and a huge celebrity. Though she sometimes feels the need to get out of the limelight. So, when she meets a charming, wealthy greek businessman and he asks her to go away for a few weeks on his yacht and to a villa on a Caribbean Island, she agrees to go. It isn’t long before she finds out that the man is not the nice, charming man she first met, and he refuses to let her go.

The Hero: Jack Hunter (a.k.a. Hawk) – he is a military sniper on the Hostile Operations Team. He is a widow and is still mourning his childhood sweetheart who was pregnant when she died in a car accident a few years ago. He and his team are tasked with assassinating that same greek man that Gina is with. He is an arms dealer that is working with terrorists.

The Story: Jack and his team are surprised when they see the superstar through the sights on his rifle and when the terrorists arrive, he has no choice but to take out his target and the terrorists. However, he is afraid that Gina will get blamed. When Gina takes off and wrecks the car she is driving, Jack finds her in the jungle, and they spend three days together until they can get his team to extract them.

I liked this story, it had action, suspense and a good romance. Though I usually hate it when one of the main characters is grieving a partner that they really loved, it didn’t take up too much of the story. This was also a secret baby trope, which is one of my favorites. It had plenty of steam and a good storyline about the baby getting kidnapped. There is also a good storyline about Jack getting to know his son and coming to terms with having kid and seeing a celebrity.

This audiobook was done in multiple points of view via solo narration. It was narrated by Aiden Snow, who is one of my favorite male narrators. He has a deep yet soft voice which is sexy, and he is great at using different voices for different characters. Plus, his voice for female characters is not annoying like some narrators.
