Customer Reviews

Great Romantic Suspense...Absolutely Recommend!!

I am always on the search for authors that write the kind of stories that are truly unforgettable..and leave you wanting more! "Dark and Dangerous" qualifies in my opinion as a must have for those who seek well-written suspense that is both addictive and sensually beautiful. A dark hero who will invade your heart and a heroine you will love totally. I highly recommend this book and look forward to the next book that will be released in June 2009, titled "Dark and Deadly". Kudos to Ms. Adams for such a marvelous book!! She is definitely on my "must have" list.

Definitely a must read

Dark and Dangerous is author Jeanne Adam's debut novel, and I have got to say, it starts out with a bang and just keeps on going. This novel is one of the best in its genre, Romantic Suspense, that I've read in a while. The romance, action, and suspense are blended together perfectly in this well plotted, fast-paced novel. I was drawn into the undercover world and amazed at how she was able to give such great details without taking me out of the story or overwhelming me. The suspenseful first meeting between Dana Markham and Caine Bradley is one that was unexpected and unforgetable. Dana is a strong heroine who has learned how to survive and protect both herself and her son, Xavier, from the clutches of her ex-husband, Donovan Walker. I believe if she had to, Dana could have survived and ran from Donovan without the help of Cain, but together they make a strong team and are each other's equal. Caine is a FBI undercover agent who knows his job and how to succeed in it. He also knows that an agent should never get close to those they are protecting... but, it can't be denied, there's something different about Dana and Xavier. He'll go above and beyond to assure their safety, even if it means breaking the rules. I can certainly see Dark and Dangerous on the big screen as an action movie. It has all the right elements and balance of action, suspense, and romance that'll quickly draw you into the story from beginning to end. I definitely recommend Dark and Dangerous to any Romantic Suspense reader and to those who'd like to try this genre.

Dark and Dangerous, Loved It!!!

I could not wait to get my hands on this book! Two of my friends were each reading this novel and sharing with me how very much they were enjoying it! Finally, I had a copy! From the turn of the first page the story grabbed my full attention and did not let go, I was immediately hooked. The characters intertwine beautifully with the story line; delivering edge-of-your-seat suspense, and an endearing love story. I had a particular kinship and familiarity to the different settings, as I've resided in both Maryland and Virginia. The writing is descriptive, and the characters are multi-faceted. What a powerful and inspiring first work for Jeanne Adams! I look forward to more from this talented author.

One of our favourite things - an anti-hero!

Exploding onto the romantic suspense scene, Dark and Dangerous is exactly that, not to mention passionate and intense featuring one of our favourite things - an anti-hero. For fans of Linda Howard. Dana Markham is up against a cold-blooded killer who knows her all too well: Donovan Walker. Wanted for drug trafficking, armed and dangerous, he's also her ex-husband. What she knows about him could land him behind bars forever or put her and her young son in an early grave if Donovan finds them first. Dana's one chance lies with a man she barely knows at all. Tall and darkly sensual, Caine Bradley is an undercover FBI agent who's been posing as Walker's henchman. Compelled to work with Caine to lure her ex out of hiding, Dana must fight against her own raw, urgent needs. But is he who he says he is? Her passionate desire for him could be her salvation or her greatest mistake.
