Dangerous Games (Tempting SEALs)
Date undefinedI'll admit, there's something about those SEALs that just make me hot! Every one I've ever read about is the ultimate Alpha, and Clint is no exception. And Morganna is the type of heroine that I love. Strong, capable, and willing to do whatever it takes. I'd definitely recommend this series to friends.

Date undefinedReading this book makes me wonder just how much publishers are outsourcing work to India (a trend in book publishing). This particular book was either never copyedited (or at the least, not checked for consistency/continuity errors) or copyedited by someone with little to no experience. As reviewer TacP mentioned, the boook abounds with these kinds of errors (and like TacP, the constant flipping between Clint's background in the Army and/or the Navy drove me crazy). There's a willing suspension of disbelief, and then there's sloppy writing and/or editing-proofreading. Not to mention the numerous typos and grammar errors. This book suffers from them all. (One major sloppy error that struck me -- the last dramatic scene in the book, the "show down," has Clint staring into Diego's face. Which is odd, considering the Diego character is nowhere near the scene of this particular event. Roberto is. Inexcusable error.) If publishers want consumers to hand over good money for a book, the least they can do is have someone edit or proofread it before it goes to press. The book also suffers from trying to be a few different things at once, and failing. It's basically erotica (porn, whatever you want to call it) disguised as a romantic suspense. But if you take the book as a whole, there are 10 pages of porn for every 3 pages of actual story, which makes the book very unbalanced. The basic story (alpha guy sets out to rescue/tame/protect alpha-wannabe girl and whole lots of bad guys are standing in the way) isn't bad. I wish that side of the book had been better developed. Instead, the supposed plot of the book is just a weak backdrop for the author to serve up scene after scene of cliched erotica. It wasn't believable, or credible. The book might have been stronger had it been written as pure erotica, or pure suspense. A stronger writer can meld the two beautifully -- Anne Stuart does it marvelously well with her Ice series. This book is not of that calibre. I put books into three categories: retail buy, used book buy, library borrow. This book falls into the last category. Had I bought the book, I would have wanted a refund. I might give the first book a try, just because I'm curious about Reno and Raven. Maybe that book is better written and edited.

Date undefinedWhat a great book. Sexy, Dominant, and intense. I enjoyed it to the very end. Can't wait to read More about the tempting SEALs.
