Customer Reviews

Elite Ops

Great book, I really like this author and tend to read all of her books.

This book is very awesome!!! Loved the Lora Leigh especially!!!

I really enjoyed this novel. Like I said in my title, I really liked the Lora Leigh spin-off that tells us what happened in Rick's life after he has to kill his wife, the cocaine sniffing WHORE. I like that he found a women that he could love and that loves his son. I also like the sex scenes in the novel also. The other stories were great to. I highly recommend this novel to people who enjoy mystery novels with love stories and sex scenes. I give it 5 stars. I would elaborate on the rest of the stories in this anthology, but I do not have it in front of me and I am on to my next of many other novels I read daily.

Extreme Heat Ahead

Hannah's Luck by Lora Leigh Sheriff Rick Grayson is a single father now. Due to a ruthless act on her part, she got messed up with some evil men and was murdered. Kindergarten school teacher Hannah Brookes hears someone trying to break into her home late at night. She calls the police. Whoever was trying to break in runs away when they hear the sirens. Sheriff Grayson arrives. He installs a security system but that is not what Hannah really needs. What she really wants is Rick. Reckless and Yours by Red Garnier When Paige Avery walks into a room, heads turn. Zach Rivers is not immune to Paige's beauty. In fact he wants her for himself. Zach did have her at one point a long time ago. Can he win her back? Tempt Me by Alexis Grant Anita Brown is an R & B singer. Just like any famous celebrity come the stalkers. Zachary Mitchell has agreed to do a favor for his good friend, Lowell. Lowell runs a security business. Zach now finds himself playing bodyguard to Anita. Will Zach and Anita become the next Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner? Love Me Til Death by Lorie O'Clare Ashley Jones is a homicide detective. Her current murder case involves a dead girl. It appears as though there is a connection with another case. One that the FBI are working on. Special Agent Chase Reed has teamed up with Ashley. Chase can't help but admire Ashley. Unfortunately the admiration seems to be one sided. Ashley can't stand the thought of the FBI honing in on her case. Can Ashley learn to play nice before the killer strikes again? Men of Danger is like ordering a sampler. You get to try out a little bit of everything from sexy sheriffs to special agents. I enjoyed reading these stories. Both Alexis Grant and Lorie O'Clare are new to me authors. After reading what they had to offer, I plan to check out both ladies full length novels. Often times with anthologies, the stories can seem rushed. This was not the case with this anthology. There was plenty of action and romance. In fact, I kind of didn't want the stories to end. I didn't really have a favorite as I liked all four stories. Men of Danger should come with a warning..."Extreme Heat Ahead".

four entertaining romantic suspense tales

"Hannah's Luck" by Lora Leigh. Due to his late wife's infidelity, Sheriff Rick Grayson ignores his attraction to Hannah Brookes until a break-in at her home occurs. "Reckless" by Red Garnier. Seven years ago her father was murdered and Paige Avery was injured. Still suffering from amnesia, she returns to the site of her nightmare to confront Detective Zach Rivers with a plea for the whole truth; not recalling his sweet kisses. "Tempt Me" by Alexis Grant. Popular rapper Anita Brown is tired of her family leeches who live off of her hard earned money so she turns to her equally hard working security chief Zachary Mitchell for solace, not expecting his soul. "Love Me 'til Death" by Lorie O'Clare. Detective Ashley Jones makes it clear she is dissatisfied with FBI Agent Chase Reed intruding on her homicide investigation; she also makes it clear that she would be very satisfied if he would intrude in her personal life. These are four entertaining romantic suspense tales that showcase how wide the range the sub-genre contains with the best being Red Garnier's strong whodunit. Harriet Klausner

really enjoyed

I was pleasantly surprised to have enjoyed 3 of the 4 stories in this anthology. Lora Leigh is the author that had me purchasing and I figured the Lorie O'Clare could be hit or miss. I wasnt familiar with the other 2 authors. Lora Leigh This was continuing the story from WildCard with Sienna's(the crazy chick)widowed husband Rick Grayson. Rick is the town sheriff and he helped the elite ops team take down Sienna his wife and the other hunters. Rick is focused on getting his life together for his son and had no intentions on acting on his attraction to Hannah his son's teacher. His hand is forced when someone close to him targets Hannah because of their feelings for one another. This was a nice little slice to add on to the elite ops and was great up until the end which was a bit abrupt. 4 stars Red Garnier Ok I've never heard of this author but her story was AWESOME. I hesitate to say I may have enjoyed it more than Leighs contribution. Paige Avery was in an accident and lost her memory of a select segment of time. Zack Rivers is a police detective that was in love with Paige before she lost her memory. Paige came from a wealthy family and her mother wisks her away from town so that she will not have to live with the reminders of all she doesnt recall. Poor Zack, part of what paige doesnt remember is their secret romance. I wanted to cry for poor Zack several times. Paige comes back several years later to clear out the house she and her mother left and runs into Zack after a stalker attack. This was sooo good and the author did a great job with the characters and plot. This is usually a problem with anthologies so I was batting a thousand at this point. 5 stars Alexis Grant so maybe my luck ran out because I couldnt read this story about the musician past the first page. I'm sorry not to have a review on it but it was boring and didnt drag me in to read past the first page. I may read it later and edit this review accordingly Lorie O'Clare O'Clare finishes the anthology with a story from her FBI series. I actually thought this was pretty decent too. Ashley Jones is a police officer recently divorced. There have been a series of death in her town. The vitims are females that wear a unique bracelet. Chase Reed is a rebel FBI agent that just so happens to be in town for r and r but he is really looking for clues and a way to work on the mysterious case of young women popping up dead. Chase convinces Ashley to use him behind the scene. The killer is pretty obvious so there is no guess work here but that was ok. What bothered me more than anything with this story is that Chase and Ashley took longer to realize what was really quite obvious from several significant incidents. 3.75 all total I give this 4 stars because it is so rare to get an anthology that was as good as this one. I really felt like each author submitted a decent short story for this
