When Dashing Met Danger

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. I have recently fouond the books written by Shana Galen and have purchased a number of them

When Dashing Met Danger

This was one of my favorite romance reads of the year, and I'm a romance junkie. Great hero/heroine chemistry combined with a lot of excitement and tension. I don't want to give away the plot, but I can guarantee that you'll fall in love with the hero, Alex, and wish you were the heroine, Lucia. Both are very engaging, interesting characters. Highly recommend.

A fun Regency debut!

When Dashing met Danger is an enjoyable book with just the right amount of adventure to keep you turning the pages. The hero and heroine have great chemistry, and debut author Galen makes the secondary characters likeable and interesting. Historical romance readers won't be disappointed in this one!

delightful....

Regencies have been getting ho-hum of late so this book by galen was a wonderful surprise. The plot was fairly unique.....the characters were full of life........and the dialogue was witty and endearing. There was more than a fair amount of physical adventure not common to a regency. It's not pulitzer prize stuff but it is a really enjoyable and easy read. Great job SG. Best wishes for continued successes......

When Adventure Met Passion

Alex Scarston, Earl of Selbourne, would rather be back in France, working the front lines of the war as an "intelligence specialist," than stuck in the trappings of London society. Especially when Lucia-pronounced-in-the-Italian-way Dashing stumbles into his path. He hasn't seen his sister-in-law since his brother's marriage five years ago, but the precocious fourteen-year-old he knew has grown into a twenty-year-old temptress. And those dark blue eyes of hers have only grown more alluring. He knows he should stay as far away from her as possible, but when her father asks for his help in locating her missing twin brother he can't convince her to stay out of the way. Lucia is not about to be left out of the hunt for her brother, no matter where it leads--no matter the scandal she might bring to her father's political aspirations. Even if she winds up talking to women of questionable reputation, climbing into a gentleman's downstairs window in the middle of the night, and trussed up on a fast ship to France. And in Alex's bed. When she does--all of the above--she's determined to follow through. But how can she choose between a safe, scandal-free life with an uninspiring fiancé who can further her father's career and a risky proposition with an "intelligence specialist"--okay, a spy--who causes more waves than he quells? Especially when he's vowed never to tie himself down with romantic entanglements. When Dashing Met Danger is a thrilling adventure laden with sexual tension from the very first scene, guaranteed to have you up all night asking: Will Lucia find her brother? Will she end the lackluster engagement? And, will she convince Alex that sometimes the most foolish thing of all is letting love slip away?
