A good writer can actually do quite a lot with a tale in a short space of time. I’m not sure this author qualifies for the title, but this is just a fan freebie.
I couldn’t say Lora Leigh wrote a masterpiece here, but whenever I come across one of her short stories I’m reminded she works better in smaller doses. For an author prone to repetition, she’s far better when she’s concise.

Of course, Night Hawk does not stand up on its own. It’s an introduction to Maverick – the second More...

It's a really, really short story, and there's no closure. It reads like a prequel to the next(?) book in the Elite Ops series. I need to read Wild Card, the first book in the series, before I decide if I'm going to embark on this series or not.

EDITED TO ADD: Well, I've reread this short story after finishing Wild Card and things are clearer and better now. Am I going to read the next book in the series? I'm not sure.

Reads like a prologue to the upcoming "Maverick". Hopefully these characters, Travis and Lillian (Black Jack and Night Hawk), will get their own story,

While I loved what story there was, I finished "Night Hawk", an e-book by Lora Leigh, and I was like, "Where's the rest?" It was TOO short with no closure and I first assumed maybe this was just chapter one of a future book, but no. Now I'm just irritated because I felt left hanging.

Like Auntee said, this is almost like a prologue for Maverick and possibly a prelude to a story featuring Black Jack and Night Hawk. They've definitely got some serious chemistry going on. Looking forward to reading Maverick and seeing what happens between Rissa and Micah.

Although they say that this is a short story, don't be fooled. This is like a prologue to Black Jack.
Absolutely nothing happens in the 15 short pages.
If you go into this book expecting an actual story, you will be sorely dissapointed. This is a prologue that Lora Leigh should have just placed in her next book.
I do appreciate the free look into it, but calling it a short story is just wrong.

I'm loving the series so far, but this one really seems pointless. There is no closure to this short. It's only 11 pages (on my nook color) so there was really no way to do anything with it. I understand it was free from the author's web site, but it was a tease. I want their whole story.

I am very happy to inform you that the rest of Black Jack and Lilly's story is in book 4 of the Elite Ops series, and it is wonderful!!

Although listed as an e-book here, this is really just a teaser for Maverick and an introduction to Nighthawk and Black Jack. It is a short story just to keep interest in the series. It does its job. Plenty of good interaction between Nighthawk and Black Jack (Travis). I'm looking forward to Black Jack's book. wonder when that one will be...

Argh! It was just the beginning of a story. I want to know more about Travis and Jillian. Ms Leigh, this is not fair!

The tension between the two, the longing, the attraction. The story is only 14 pages but it grips you from the first word. God that woman can write.

Definitely a prologue to Maverick, but not something you have to read. In fact, I read this short story after I read Maverick. Cute little story - I'm hoping Black Jack and Night Hawk get their own book (and soon) - my curiosity is definitely peaked!

I didn't know it was possible, but I just read a story by Lora Leigh that had no sex in it.
I feel a little ripped off, like going out with the town slut and only getting a kiss at the end of the date.
It was good though...but very short.

3 stars - Romantic Suspense

This is a nice filler story in the Elite Ops series and a precursor for book #3, Maverick, and possibly future installments. It gave us something to pass the time after Wild Card and while waiting for the release of Maverick.

I thought it was a great short story. I hope it is the prologue to her latest Elite Ops book, Maverick. Maverick comes out March 3, 2009.

Book 2 in Elite Ops series - can't beat a free download!

Well, that was a tease!

It was really just an excerpt. Calling it a short story may be stretching it. It was ok but seemed underdeveloped and oversimplified. It did give a nice background to Black Jack's book though.

Way too short. Would probably have worked better as a prologue. But hey, it was free, and it wasn't bad.

2.5 stars.

Too short to really enjoy it, but it did whet my appetite for more. I guess I really should start with this series once and for all. Of course it helps knowing the characters, Travis and Lillian, have their own book - Black Jack.

Available on Lora Leigh's website. Sets up plot for "Maverick". Not necessary for rest of series (but they are all stand alone if you want to pick and choose)

meh!
not much to review since the story is a very short one, seemed like a prologue for the next book in the series.
