Hot Velocity

ARC for honest review with no compensation

Hot Velocity is the 4th book in the Ballistic Cowboys series and the first book I have read ….while reading this book which like the others is a stand-alone I think going back to read the other books in the series will help with some of the questions I didn’t understand…..

Rex (T-Rex) Trainor, a Marine combat commander has been placed on loan with the Department of Homeland Security in Montana while waiting to get back with his command after a mission went bad. T-Rex and Homeland Security know that Freedom America is a homegrown terrorist group who may be storing weapons in caves in and around the area. This group has been illusive so far but……when he comes to the rescue of Sierra Daniels things start coming to light.

Sierra Daniels recently divorced her abusive husband is determined to begin her life again on her terms. She is a daycare provider and is determined to keep the children safe after a bus they were on was hijacked (from a former book). While outside with the children her ex shows up and threatens her and is determined to make her come back to him…..but T-Rex happens along and things do not go as planned for her ex.

While things heat up between Sierra and T-Rex, her ex is determined to get her back at all costs…will T-Rex save Sierra and the children from Freedom America after they are taken hostage? Will he be too late to save them? Will he and Sierra find their HEA or go their separate way?

Intrigue, heart pounding suspense, hostages and questions that will be answered …are just a few of the things happening while reading this book!

Hot Velocity is the last novel in the Ballistic Cowboy series. This is the first novel in the series that I've read, but it won't be the last! Even though it is the last novel in the series, it can be read as a stand-alone novel. There are brief references to other couples, but the story stands on its own.

Sierra is a preschool teacher who is constantly being harassed by her ex husband. Sierra's marriage started off well, but soon turned abusive. During one such confrontation, T-Rex comes to Sierra's rescue. T-Rex, on loan to Homeland Security, is in town investigating a Hometown Freedom America group. Suspicious activity around a pipeline and missing AR-15's have T-Rex and his team searching for their "stash". On his way to a meeting, T-Rex witnesses Sierra being pulled by her hair into a truck. While helping her, her ex assumes T-Rex is Sierra's new boyfriend. Sierra and T-Rex decide to pretend they are a couple in hopes that her ex will leave her alone.

As they get to know each other, Sierra and T-Rex wonder if they should give love a shot. T-Rex, a career military man, doesn't believe he's the man for Sierra. He doesn't think he can give up the military life or put a woman through the possible heartache of him dying while on a mission or coming back half a man. Sierra thinks that T-Rex may be just the man to boost her confidence and get her back into the dating scene, except she starts to fall for him. Now she just has to convince him to give love a shot.

There's mystery, home-grown terrorist groups, corrupt politicians, and a lot of Alpha maleness! This novel also portrays a heroine who is loving, kind, caring, and unselfish. She willingly places herself in danger to save one person or the other. I love a strong woman!!! I can't wait to go back and read the rest of the series! I read a gifted copy and all opinions stated are my own.

Mysteries are unraveled and danger continues to mount as we take another delve into the mysteries surrounding Elle James's Ballistic Cowboys series. This entire series has been a really attention grabbing plot and I've really enjoyed it!

Rex "T-Rex" Trainor has been on loan to Homeland Security for a little while now trying to help the task force that is trying to figure out who is setting their sights on doing devious missions in the hills of Wyoming. He's just biding his time until he's sent back to his Marine team for his next mission, but he's in the right place at the right time to help a beautiful woman in distress!

Daycare worker Sierra Daniels can't believe how lucky she is when a huge muscular man comes to her rescue just when she needs it most, and he continues to do so every time she turns around. She knows she has a lot of baggage from her past, and she knows he's not sticking around for long, but she really likes this guy ... and what can having a little fun while he's in town hurt?
