Product Description

Navy SEAL Clint “Iceman” McIntire didn’t earn his nickname by being a coward. Or a quitter. Having crushed an infamous drug cartel in Colombia, Clint was nothing short of an American hero. Now he’s home, on a much-needed leave, but instead of some R&R, he finds himself neck-deep in trouble with his best friend’s little sister, Morganna Chavez, the only woman who has the power to bring him to his knees. . .

Morganna has been secretly working with the DEA to uncover a thriving date-rape drug, which leads her to a shadowy faction that is more deadly than anything her team has ever encountered. Now it’s up to Clint to keep this beautiful, determined agent out of harm’s way, even while the passion between them threatens to consume them. Soon Clint’s greatest mission will be not just keeping Morganna safe, but getting her into his arms and never letting go.

Too many errors smacked me in the face May 24, 2007
50 out of 57 found this review helpful

Lora Leigh's book has received some great reviews on here, but I simply can't get past the enormous errors printed on those pages. First of all, I felt like I fell into the story around Chapter 8 of a much longer work. Obviously this is the second book in the series, but there wasn't enough backstory to actually make me feel as though I understood what had happened previously. Characters popped up and faded away as Leigh needed them in or out of the story.

The errors...oh my. First of all, the story is about Navy SEALs. Why does Leigh write TWICE that the hero, Clint, joined the Army? The Army and the Navy are different branches of the military. She calls him "Special Forces" which is a group in the Army. She also has her hero drop out of high school at 17 and join the military...sorry, folks, that can't happen. Under the age of 18, a recruit must have the signature of his parents to join (I know, 'cause I did). Also, you must have at least a GED to join if you don't have a high school diploma.

Next we have a bunch of SEALs apparently stationed around Atlanta, GA because they all have apartments there. A very distinct part of joining the Navy and being a SEAL is the fact that you work around large bodies of water, such as the ocean. There is no ocean near Atlanta. That may be the reason that the real SEAL teams are based out of coastal Virginia and coastal California.

Leigh places her characters in a club in South Carolina. It's a two hour drive from Atlanta to the SC border. That seems like a long drive just for a hot nightclub.

And let's talk about the clubs that her SEALs frequent. They are BDSM clubs, and apparently it is a well-known fact that her SEALs have been partying here for years now. Only problem there is, half the stuff that happens in BDSM clubs is illegal according to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Now, I understand that SEALs follow a slightly different set of rules, but no one would allow it to be so very well known that they go to BDSM clubs and possibly cause the loss of a career.

Another point I questioned...how did the hero come up with the $40,000 needed to gain exclusive entrance to one of the clubs at the same time that he was sending enough money to his mother that she could buy a house with it? Leigh never states what rank her hero has gained, but unless he's an Admiral, the money he is spending seems a bit more than his budget will allow.

Those were the most glaring problems I encountered. The drug operation that is running was slightly confusing to me, as were the intentions and actions of the bad guy.

The "erotic" aspect of the book was good: Leigh is deliberate in her sex scenes and adds plenty of emotional ground for her characters to cover while they're getting hot and heavy.

As a story, I would probably give the book three stars, but with all the errors I found, I'm stretching to give it two. Either Leigh's research or her editor should have picked up on these obvious problems.

Don't care for bondage February 15, 2007
27 out of 40 found this review helpful

Okay, I'll admit that I know that when I pick up a book by this author, that I'm getting erotica, which I love. What I really don't care for is Bondage, submissive roles and dominant's, yada, yada, no thanks. I was disappointed with this turn. This book throws us into an immature night club setting. Yes, I love her hero's, they are very, extremely Alpha as a rule (Breeds anyone?). And you can order her around all day, and command silence... but when he threatens her with a ball gag, yuck! I mean, bring on the toys, get down and dirty with each other. It's just that the images of everyone in black leather in these sordid night clubs, it's just too silly to even contemplate; it's not for me. And I am well aware that it isn't purely fiction, that there are really those who are into this sort of thing, It's just hard for me to take the characters seriously. The story is well written, the plot intriguing, it's a great book! But I've decided to keep it in my gym back and finish it in 30 minute increments on my recumbent bike. And pray that in the next installment, the DEA agents/SEALS will be working in a totally different scene.

Dangerous Games is my Recommended Read for February 2007!

Morganna has loved Clint practically her entire life. In spite of the fact that he pushes her away at every turn, she knows he feels something for her. But after years of waiting for him, she has finally resolved to move on with her life and find her own place in the world - without Clint McIntyre.

Clint has stayed away from Morganna, protecting her from his dangerous job, and his even more dangerous past. But when he returns home on leave and finds her in the most unexpected of places and in a very perilous position, he can neither ignore Morganna, nor his feelings for her. Finding her in his favorite BDSM club pushes every button his Dominant personality has, and challenges everything he thought he wanted...

But Morganna has been keeping secrets, too, and hers have put her very life in danger. Working undercover as a DEA agent has made her the prime target for the very same drug cartel that Clint's SEALS team has been working to bring down. The very same drug cartel that wants revenge on Clint...

Lora Leigh began her SEALs series with a short story in the anthology Honk if You Love Real Men. With Dangerous Games, she pens her first full-length SEALS novel, and leaves you panting for more!

Clint "Iceman" McIntyre is as dangerous and brooding as an Alpha male can get! He will push every button you have - at one moment he is the most aggravating man on earth, then he is as tender as you might wish a lover to be, and in the next moment you find your heart breaking for him and the pain he holds inside.

Morganna Chavez is the perfect foil for Clint, and a wonderful role model for women everywhere. She is independent, feisty, intelligent, kind-hearted, and definitely spirited. She calls Clint out at every turn when he is being bull-headed, but she knows just when to push him and when to back off. She picks her fights, and makes the moments count, and never ever lets him get away with anything! Her resolve to fight for Clint, for his soul even if she can't have his love, is heartening.

The story is thick with suspense as the pair work to uncover the identity of not only the villains pushing a dangerous date-rape drug in the clubs, but to also ferret out the identity of a mole intent on betraying them all. With each new release, Leigh becomes even more adept with the suspense genre, which is never more evident than in this book.

If you want plenty of action interlaced with a very spicy love story, you need to rush to the store right now and pick up your own copy of Lora Leigh's Dangerous Games!

Mislead, and not happy. February 22, 2007
16 out of 27 found this review helpful

The next time I pick up a St. Martin's paperback book, I am going to put it right back down. This book was marketed as romantic suspense. I am an avid reader, and this book might have been suspenseful, but, unless you are into bondage and very rough sex, it was hardly romantic. I am normally open minded, but I do believe this book should have come with a warning label. It is hardcore erotica, and rough at that, and should have been marketed as such. I was misled by the cover as to the content of this book. Nowhere on the cover does it mention bondage or S&M. When I pay $7 for a book, I want to know what I am buying, and the publisher should have given a hint as to what this book contained. The hero of the book was a victim of child abuse, and then grew up with some real problems. I read in another review that the reviewer knew to expect this sort of thing from this writer...how? Certainly not from anything advertised on the cover of the book. Before you blast my review, please understand that I have no problem with this sort of book being available, I do have a problem with being misled as to the content. If every reviewer that critiqued this book mentions erotica, bondage, etc..., don't you think it should have been mentioned somewhere on the cover?

Skip the young girls and choose a real woman February 24, 2007
16 out of 24 found this review helpful

I buy all of her books but the last two are just too much. Harmony's Way and this book were such a disappointment. I think she took a mildly interesting short story and attempted to stretch it into a full length novel. A clear mistake. The heroine was incredibly annoying and the stud was just as bad. I wish her hero's would accept the sexuality of the heroines and give them the good bang they both need. That would probably happen if Leigh would stop putting teens with older men. Aren't there any thirty year old women who would love to handle these men? Really Leigh, stop with the teeny boppers and give your heros a real woman!
