Dangerous Games (Tempting SEALs)
Date undefinedExcellent, riveting storyline with two interesting & entertaining main characters. Clint the strong, troubled alpha male & Morganna the equally matvelously strong female who gives as good as she gets. Truly an enjoyable read.

Date undefinedI haven't read the first story in this series, the short story Reno's Chance in the anthology, Honk If You Love Real Men so I felt a little lost when guys started popping up left and right. I just felt like I was inundated with too much information too fast. The plot also looked more intricate than it really was and when it finally unfolded, I felt let down. The bad guy and girl were just too pathetically stupid after all that buildup.
Clint McIntyre was the type of guy who was way more complicated than he needed to be. He had too much baggage for someone like me to want to hitch a ride on and his momma issues were particularly unsavory in light of his sexual preferences. It made me question whether he even liked women and made me wonder if he secretly substituted his mother whenever he was "disciplining" a submissive. Nasty. Morganna seemed a little flighty to me. I didn't dislike her, nor did I particularly care about her. She was just, eh.
The sex in Dangerous Games was overblown and at times, silly. Clint has an emergency overnight bag that just happens to have a butt plug in it? WTF? Who the heck travels with an emergency butt plug? The premiere Dom of Atlanta, that's who. Whatever.
This book was overdone and a little overwrought in my most humble opinion. It took itself waaay too seriously and felt like an absurd caricature. I just can't recommend it. It was just okay, it wasn't awful but nor can I see where this could have been better without stripping everything down and starting again. This was my first Tempting Seals book and now I'm no longer enthusiastic to try any more. I've read Wild Card, which I loved and while it too had a lot of emotions running around it worked for me, Dangerous Games just fell flat. :(

Date undefinedThis is my first...and my last Lora Leigh book.
Apart from disliking the story, the characters, the setting, and the repetition...the mistakes were unforgivable. They weren't abundant in the first part, (small but obvious errors - such as inconsistent placement of characters and dialogue from one scene to the next) but towards the end of the book, characters in the scene were given the wrong names. At first I thought I missed something so I went back and re-read the lines. Sure enough the wrong names were used ... several times. It's as though the author got bored and lazy toward the end and just wanted to be done with it. How does something this bad and this unprofessional get published?
