Customer Reviews

One of my "keepers"

I often share books with friends but this is one that I keep for myself to go back to from time to time. I won't reiterate what all of the other reviewers said. I will only say this, I have a hard time finding other writers who can compare to Rosemary Rogers when she creates such a level of passion and tension among the main characters (at times borderline hateful)yet it is done in a way that you almost jump up and say, "Yes!! Finally!!" at the end of the book even though her endings are never sappy-sweet. I admit that some of RR's books are hit or miss. Either you love 'em or hate 'em but mostly I end up loving them. When I see her name on a cover, I have to make sure I have a long stretch of time ahead of me before picking up the book because I can never seem to put the book down despite having pressing real-life responsibilities to attend to. Rosemary Rogers is in a class of her own. They just do not make books like hers these days.

Loved It

What can I say about this book that hasn't already been written by other reviewers. This book is great...and I loved the ending it left me breathless. Nick and Tory are believeable charactors. Wish Rosemary Rogers would do a sequel to this book.

Loved it

Can't say it enough - I just love Rosemary Roger's style. Maybe it's the sexy brooding type that I find so appealing in Nick Kincade and Steve Morgan (Sweet Savage Love). This book though was a bit too close in story, character, etc. to Sweet Savage Love - my only complaint. I'm glad though the promiscuity was dramatically lessened. I'm a true romantic at heart, and yes I do believe that Nick Kincade fell in love with Tory, regardless of his cold, "jerk-ish" ways. I wish Rosemary Rogers would write more books. I've tried other authors, but I can't get into the corniness of some of the books. I do enjoy Lisa Kleypas, but thus far, my favorites are still Sweet Savage Love and A Dangerous Man by Rosemary Rogers. Write another one!

Action packed!

The title says it all. Action packed!! Exciting! Exhilirating! A 'one sitting' read! I have very few complaints about this novel, although you experience deja vue if you've read Rosemary Roger's 'Sweet Savage Love', but you appreciate Rogers writing in the mode that she penned in the 1970s. Nick Kincaid is 'dangerous', much like his predecessor 'Steve Morgan'. I say precessor because Steve's appearance in 'Sweet Savage Love' occurred in the 1970s, set historically during the U.S.Civil War, Mexico's independence, and the expansion west. Actually, Nick could have been Steve's father, their lives were so similar. But there are so many similarities between the two novels that Rosemary probably should have created Nick Kincaid and Victoria Ryan as Morgan's parents. That would have been believable! But if you enjoy espionage, Native American scrimages, historical battles, being on the run, sensual, passionate and sometimes plain lust lovemaking episodes, then you'll enjoy 'A Dangerous Man'. Rogers has a five star winner in this one. But mind you, if you enjoy slow moving romances where the hero and heroine compliment each other with passionate words and kisses, debutant balls, and lengthy drawing rooms discussions, this is not the novel for you. This novels keeps you on the edge of your seat, or pillow, however you read! But if enjoyed 'Sweet Savage Love', in spite of its controversy, then you'll enjoy 'A Dangerous Man'! On a positive note regarding the author, Rosemary Rogers has learned to pen heroines whom are not as permiscuous as some of her 70s heroines. And it seesm she realizes that rape is not considered romantic!

Romance at its best.

She has really done it this time. I read this book at the beach and the lifeguard's must have thought I was a nut because I was crying. Pure entertainment and mighty racy! I had to read a couple of parts over. I wish more writers put as much heart into their stories.
