Book Reviews of Dangerous Games (Tempting SEALs)

Book Review: Tempting Seals, Almost Great
Summary: 4 Stars

Although there were parts of this book that I loved it was not my favourite by Lora Leigh. DANGEROUS GAMES is the first in the TEMPTING SEALS series (after the novella in HONK IF YOU LOVE REAL MEN.) Steamy, passionate and action packed this is great romantic suspense. With a sexy yet tortured alpha-male hero, a spunky, stubborn female lead and a reunited lovers theme. Plus Ms Leigh can write a love scene like no other so if you want hot and steamy then this is your book.

Clint McIntyre is a hard man who's seen it all during his time as a Navy Seal. Managing to collect a lot of baggage over the years he's also closed off his heart, except when it comes to Morganna Chavez. Clint's always had a soft spot for his best friends little sister and despite his growing affection has done everything to protect the trouble maker. Morganna in turn has been in love with Clint since she was sixteen years old, tempting him with her young body whenever she had the chance, always hoping that somehow they might have a future together. As she grows into a beautiful woman Clint begins to distance himself, not wanting to expose her to his darker tendencies and afraid of her power over him. And as our story truly begins to unfold, he's been running away from Morganna for years. Terrified by what she makes him feel and tempted by her blossoming sexuality. The beginning of this book grabbed my attention right away. The sexual tension, lust and want is intense and well written.

Eventually Morganna resigns herself to the fact that Clint will never be a part of her life and takes a position in Law enforcement, concealing her job from both her brother and Clint. When Clint returns to town for some much needed R&R he is horrified and pretty turned on to see Morganna in his favourite underground BDSM club. She's now all grown up and Clint can't keep away from her any longer, becoming frantic with his blinding possessiveness. He soon discovers that Morganna is in fact working undercover and is the intended bait in an operation to uncover the dealers in a date rape drug ring. The pair butt heads as Clint tries to get her off the case and out of the clubs and the chemistry here is great. Clint is all alpha male and dominant while Morganna holds her own. Of course the two wind up working undercover together; Clint as the leather pants wearing dominant and Morganna as his not quite behaving submissive. I wasn't really into the whole Dom/Sub, BDSM angle but it was different and made for an interesting story line. However it never really takes off so if you're looking for whips, ball gags and bondage you'll be disappointed, as it's just a setting and not really an explored lifestyle.

The climax of this book is exciting and suspenseful; with a great hand to hand fight scene complete with knifes, guns and swinging vases. I did however have trouble with the overabundance of secondary characters that kept popping in and out and couldn't keep any of their names straight. There is some reference here to the previous novella but no back story is really given which was unfortunate. I also felt bogged down by the over the top plotline involving Columbian drug cartels and double crossing agents. It was just too much.

Lore Leigh writes the tortured hero like no other and there were several very touching scenes as Morganna tries to thaw Clint's frozen heart and he struggles to come to terms with his true feelings for Morganna. When Clint finally let's go and surrenders his heart ...Sigh. "Hold me," he growled against her neck. But she was holding him, her arms tight around his shoulders. And it wasn't enough. He needed more. Needed more of her to still the pain building in his soul.

I can recommend this book even though it's not the best in the series. WILDCARD (book 4) would have to be my favourite but this is still entertaining and sexy as hell.

Summary of Dangerous Games (Tempting SEALs)

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.
