Book Reviews of Dangerous Games (Tempting SEALs)
Book Review: Dangerous Games- A Joyfully Recommended Title
Summary: 5 Stars
Clint 'Iceman' McIntyre is on leave from his duties as a Navy Seal. Clint deserves a break after his recent mission involving a Columbian drug cartel. Iceman wants nothing more than to take it easy and relax. But finding Morganna Chavez, his best friend's little sister, endangering herself changes his plan.
Morganna is working undercover with the DEA on the hunt for the supplier for a dangerous date rape drug. When Morganna's mission turns deadly, Clint will do whatever it takes to keep her safe. Whether she wants his help or not!
I have one word for Clint 'Iceman' McIntyre. Pantalicious. From his dominant bedroom personna to his deliciously carnal piercings, Clint makes me melt. The sexual tension between Clint and Morganna is fiery and their banter wickedly delightful.
And it's not just the sexual heat that will make your heart beat wildly. The danger and suspense is intense. I simply could not put this book down! Lora Leigh is one of my favorite authors and Dangerous Games is one of favorite books!

Book Review: Notably better than average for the fantisy adventure errotic romance
Summary: 3 Stars
The author has progressed well in her characterization and has done well with the erotic scenes. The plot is decent if generally linear. The reason I did not rate it higher is persistent errors. The author persists is using receiver for a device that lets other hear as well as letting them talk, Thats a transceiver sometime written xcevier. There are also numerous annoying editorial errors like referring to the principals a Special Forces and Army. A Navy Seal Platoon is 2 officers and 12 enlisted. Normally the officers are Ensigns or Lieutenants jg, very occasionally a senior Lieutenants. A senior Lieutenant makes about $64,000 a year hardly enough to pay $40,000 in club fees! Overall the plot and villain rather remind me of some of Sax Rohmer's "The Insidious Dr. Fu Manchu" books from the 1920s and 30s. Not bad but rather lurid. There is some good humor as well. If you have problems with explicit erotic scenes or Ds this book is not for you. The first book in the series and the 3rd are in anthologies that I did not find appealing so I have not read them.Book Review: 3*
Summary: 3 Stars
My 1st Lora Leigh book. I wont judge the whole series on this one I will read another. Too many inconsistancies in the story and a little too unrealistic. Navy Seals what Seals? These were a bunch of guys that were heavy into BDSM, yes the "entire" seal team. Too many characters I must have missed too much from the previous book. Still dont understand what happened at the end between Joe and Grant and it was not written in a way that I really care to find out. Just didnt grab my interest.
I actually liked the two main characters and the basic parts of the story, it was just to much to fit into one book. Everyone new everyone and the civilians had more contacts then the military, no one was what they seemed. Everyone was over the top. None of the other stories where finished just left hanging. All that being said the book was not terrible it just was not great either, just a little too much.
Book Review: Where were the Doms in this book?
Summary: 2 Stars
Don't get me wrong. I LOVE Lora Leigh. I have her whole back catalog from Elloras Cave and her books from Samhain Publishing. She can write a sex scene like nobody's business. But the problem I'm having with this book is all of these guys calling themselves Doms and exhibiting very little if any Dom-like behavior. What kind of Dom is Clint if Morganna's leading him by the balls during the entire book. He definitely didn't control her. And the sex between the two? It was hot but there was nothing in it that made me think of BDSM at all. The only elements to me that really spoke of BDSM were the style of dress and the things Morganna saw when she walked down that hallway in the Underground club. I mean come on, Clint had this magnificent room with all kinds of kinky paraphernilia and we never got to see him use any of it or put his supposedly considerable Dom-like skills on display?Book Review: Mistakes a plenty
Summary: 2 Stars
I don't think this book is the caliber of Leigh's Bound Hearts series, or even the Feline series. But to be fair, this is the first one I've read.
I didn't read the first one (I really don't like anthologies) which seriously should be done. When the different characters popped up, there was no clue who they were.
With the glaring mistakes about the different branches of the service, the enemy being fought in the last scene & all in between, it appears that an editor is desperately needed, or that Leigh needs to pay more attention to what she's writing. I don't believe she was when she created this book. In some spots, there doesn't even seem to be correct continuity.
I certainly hope she didn't mean for these books to be stand alone, because if they are all like this, they won't be.
