Customer Reviews

Complex and riveting

Once again, Justine Dare has taken a tormented hero and given him another chance at love. This book deals with the Gray Wolf of the Wolf Pack -- and his story is completely absorbing. What's really nice too are the heroine's self-reliance and independence, and a sweet love story as a second plot line. You care about these people -- and you understand them completely. It's what I enjoy most about JD's writing.

Thrilling from start to finish

I could not put this book down. The twist at the end was totally unexpected. I liked the fact that the characters didn't fight too long and hard about their feelings for each other. This book is definately a keeper!!

This one is a keeper!

The prequel to this book appeared on my recommendations list, so I bought both at the same time. I just could not put them down -- and I am definitely glad I had both, because as soon as I finished the first, I had the second one in my hand within a matter of minutes!

Great Sequel

In Dangerous Games, the sequel to Dangerous Ground, Justine Dare proves once again that she is a master at romantic suspense.After Jess & Beth's wedding, Lake MacGregor sets off to find Joplin, the man out to kill the WolfPack. Fate finds him back in his old hometown, the same town that he left twenty-five years earlier after he murdered his own brother.His first day in Jewell, CO he walks past a art gallery and sees a painting that he did when he was 17 years old. There he meets Allison, the art gallery owner. Slowly the two fall in love, all the while Joplin is out there watching and waiting to make his move.Can Lake forgive himself for the sins he's made in the past? Can Allison and Lake truly find peace together?Although I did like Dangerous Ground better, Dangerous Games is a highly suspenseful, entertaining sequel. I just wish we heard more about my favorites, Jess and Beth.

A heart-throbbing read

When he read the ad in the Wall St. Journal announcing the death of his father, Lake McGregor knew that very few people understood the code that tied the survivors of the Wolf Pack together. He accounts for everyone except his mortal enemy Joplin. Lake knows he must return to his hometown of Jewel, Colorado that he left two decades ago after murdering his younger brother. The first thing he sees in Jewel is the painting in the window of the art gallery. He drew it years ago, but cannot understand why it is there. He angrily confronts the gallery owner Alison Carlyle, who swears his father gave it to her. Lake decides to use her gallery as a tool to get Joplin out into the open, but he had not counted on falling in love. He has to keep his beloved safe as he confronts a madman capable of killing as efficiently as the Gray Wolf did when he was an operative over a decade ago. The problem is that Joplin never stopped and his skills are razor sharp. DANGEROUS GAMES, the sequel to the award winning DANGEROUS GROUND, is going to gain much acclaim for Justine Dare. The fast-paced story line never slows down for a moment as Lake deals with the two incidents that have changed his life: the killing of his brother and his love for Alison. The lead protagonists are a wonderful couple and the villain is as deadly a killer to come along in a novel in a very long time. Ms. Dare has dared to raise the quality level that readers expect from a rousing romantic intrigue novel.Harriet Klausner
