Blaze

Ghost Ops, Book 1

De: Lynn Raye Harris

Narrado por: Connor Crais, Samantha Brentmoor

Dead to their pasts. Ghosts. No family ties. No connections. Six men with a top-secret mission move to a small town where they have to navigate local life, protect their secret, and, above all, stay single.

Former Hostile Operations Team soldier Blaze "Shadow" Connolly knows what it’s like to lose everything. He’s got nobody except his job and his team and that’s the way he likes it.

But when he walks into a gas station during a robbery and locks eyes with Emma Grace Sutton, he knows he’ll do anything to protect the pretty girl with the blue glasses.

ER doctor Emma had a bright future until her ex-boyfriend became the kind of nightmare she was certain could never happen to her. With her self-esteem shattered and her confidence in ruins, she left a promising career and returned to her hometown to take over her dad's small family practice. It's not what she wants, but it's what she needs to rebuild her life.

Until she gets that prickly feeling she's being watched again. Did her ex follow her to Sutton's Creek or is she's imagining things? Is she in danger, or is it PTSD? She doesn't know, but she knows a man with the skills to find out. The ruggedly handsome sexy protector who saved her from a bullet once before. Blaze isn’t supposed to get involved. Doing so could put the mission at risk. But how can he turn Emma away when the desperation in her eyes hints at even darker secrets? He can’t — and that might just be the final nail in his coffin.

A small town, nerdy girl, opposites attract, military protector romance from NYT bestselling author Lynn Raye Harris.

Blazing story!

Blaze was a great start to Ghost Ops! I love all the characters!! Blaze and Emma Grace are two of my favorite characters! I love the dynamic between the two of them and how well they play off each other! All of the characters are really great! Lynn Raye Harris is a great master with words! She tells an amazing story! I can’t wait for the next Ghost Ops book! The narrators did an amazing job bring the characters to life!

Five men and a lady

Blaze is the first book of the Ghost Ops series by Lynn Raye Harris.

Blaze has seen combat. He is a special operator for the Hostile Operations Team (HOT), and lost most of his team on an assignment. The team was given bad intel and walked into an ambush. He relives that day in his nightmares, only in the nightmares he is unable to properly call for help, where in reality he did. It just didn't save the lives of his team members.

Emma was an ER doctor in Chicago, but has just moved home to take over her father's practice so he can eventually retire, and to escape a psychotic ex. She hasn't been home very often since she left for college. When she gets home, her parents give her the option of staying in her old room, or staying in one of the apartments above the medical practice. She chooses the latter, for a variety of reasons.

There are two apartments on the second floor above the medical office. Blaze is residing in one and now Emma is residing in the other. You know what they say about friendly neighbors. When Emma's apartment is broken into, Blaze, and his team, become involved in Emma's life and in her protection. This just opens the door for some hanky panky.

Emma opens up to Blaze about her ex and their relationship and what caused her to return home. But when Blaze has a nightmare, he won't open up to her about it. She is frustrated given how much she has told him about her situation. Blaze reminds her that he does not do relationships.

When Emma's best friend does not show up for a meeting and isn't answering her phone, she violates the one rule Blaze told her to always follow: Never go anywhere alone. She should have listened to him. She finds her past coming back to finish what was started.

Will the Ghost Ops team find Emma and Rory in time, especially considering Rory's medical condition? Will Emma's past finally be put to rest? Will Blaze and Emma become a true couple, especially since the reason he was chosen for this job was because he has no family and no entanglements? And what will become of Rory and Chance? They act like two young school children on the playground that like each other, but can't say it.


Connor Crais brings Blaze to life. His hurt and tragedy from his past clear in his voice. Samantha Brentmoor as Emma is a favorite of mine. Her doctor-ness, her feeling of being duped by Simon and the kitten. You can feel her love for Sassy in her words and actions.

I loved the twist and turns of the story

I loved the characters and the down to earth personalities. The twists and turns of the a story line and the depth of the characters. Makes me look forward to book 2.

GHOST OPS - BLAZE

Great Start To This New Series

This story introduces The Ghost Op Team. It's got everything., suspense, action, romance, and hot chemistry, and a real ghost, It gives some background on this new team and their mission and why they are supposed to remain unattached and operate in secret.
Enter Emma, returning to her home town with a stalker on her tail and finds herself an unwilling victim, in a gas station armed robbery.
Blaze our hero, stops for some bar-b-q at this same station and into the middle of this situation. Thus their first encounter, with him saving the day, of course.
The story moves along with the team making plans for some covert stuff for their mission and at the same time helping Emma with her stalker situation.
It's a good story with new characters being introduced, backgrounds being discovered and we get glimpses into the team members, as well as the town folk.
It is a really great start to this new series and new team. I can't wait for the next one.
Enjoy! I did!

Riveting

Blaze and Emma make a perfect couple. The way they compliment each other is heart warming. The story line just sucks you under its spell and doesn't let go. Also living in the same region makes it extremely, just more. I really do like everything that Lynn Raye Harris writes.

Far Exceeded Expectations

This first book in Ghost Ops, by Lynn Raye Harris, far exceeded my expectations for this new series. I have loved all of the HOT books and when I read that Alex "Ghost" Bishop was leaving HOT and joining with others to start Ghost Ops in Alabama, I was ready to jump right in knowing that it would not disappoint, and it definitely didn't. I look forward to seeing who will be the next to fall. AUDIO: The dual narration by Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor brought to life the characters of this first book of Ghost Ops. I look forward to hearing more narrations of this series.

great

This spin off series was a great start to this new series. I was intrigued by this new start and was excited when this book came out.

In this first book we get Blaze's story. He leaves his post with HOT to set up a group in the south with a group of military friends. While Emma returns home to Alabama to take over her father's medical practice. The pair meet and in a case of opposites attract there were fireworks.

This was an action packed read that had chemistry between the characters that was off the charts. I also love that I get to meet a new set of characters with this new series. Overall this was a good read that I would recommend to others.

The Narrators Brought This Book To Life

The first book in a new group of former HOT men lead by Alex "Ghost" Bishop features Blaze and Emma. The new team consists of 6 men total. Also known as Ghost Ops. The story follows Blaze and his teammates who are working as if they are no longer military. The are in Alabama working on a secret mission. Blaze happens to go into a store during an armed robbery and Emma is one of the people in the store. Blaze disarms the man. Emma has recently returned to her home town to eventually take over her fathers medical practice. Blaze and his teammates have been picked for this assignment because of their ability to not have close ties to family if any at all. Blaze is our fist guy in this team to fall for the woman who captures his heart. This was a wonderful book. Full of all the intrigue, danger, passion and steamy scenes we all have come to expect from Ms Harris and of course a wonderful HEA. I am looking for the next book to come.

I absolutely loved Connor Crais and Samantha Brentmoor as Blaze and Emma. I have heard Connor before and enjoy his voice. Samantha is new to me and I think she did a terrific job. Would really like to hear more book featuring either one of them.
