Dangerous Games (Tempting SEALs)

Don't get me wrong. I LOVE Lora Leigh. I have her whole back catalog from Elloras Cave and her books from Samhain Publishing. She can write a sex scene like nobody's business. But the problem I'm having with this book is all of these guys calling themselves Doms and exhibiting very little if any Dom-like behavior. What kind of Dom is Clint if Morganna's leading him by the balls during the entire book. He definitely didn't control her. And the sex between the two? It was hot but there was nothing in it that made me think of BDSM at all. The only elements to me that really spoke of BDSM were the style of dress and the things Morganna saw when she walked down that hallway in the Underground club. I mean come on, Clint had this magnificent room with all kinds of kinky paraphernilia and we never got to see him use any of it or put his supposedly considerable Dom-like skills on display?

I enjoy a good romantic suspense novel, but if the romance is bondage, please make that clear on the back. I do not enjoy buying a book and getting home with a book I would have to hide from my son. I feel if it is this strong, shelve it with erotica or let the reader know up front what they are buying.

I enjoyed this book. It was fast paced and characters were strong. Who cares for military definitions (one review claims there are mistakes in the book)? I am not a soldier and as far as I am concerned, I don't care if Lora Leigh writes that Seals come from Army (and not Navy). In my opinion, such little inconsistencies shouldn't matter. The story is what counts and for that I give it 5 stars.

I buy all of her books but the last two are just too much. Harmony's Way and this book were such a disappointment. I think she took a mildly interesting short story and attempted to stretch it into a full length novel. A clear mistake. The heroine was incredibly annoying and the stud was just as bad. I wish her hero's would accept the sexuality of the heroines and give them the good bang they both need. That would probably happen if Leigh would stop putting teens with older men. Aren't there any thirty year old women who would love to handle these men? Really Leigh, stop with the teeny boppers and give your heros a real woman!

The next time I pick up a St. Martin's paperback book, I am going to put it right back down. This book was marketed as romantic suspense. I am an avid reader, and this book might have been suspenseful, but, unless you are into bondage and very rough sex, it was hardly romantic. I am normally open minded, but I do believe this book should have come with a warning label. It is hardcore erotica, and rough at that, and should have been marketed as such. I was misled by the cover as to the content of this book. Nowhere on the cover does it mention bondage or S&M. When I pay $7 for a book, I want to know what I am buying, and the publisher should have given a hint as to what this book contained. The hero of the book was a victim of child abuse, and then grew up with some real problems. I read in another review that the reviewer knew to expect this sort of thing from this writer...how? Certainly not from anything advertised on the cover of the book. Before you blast my review, please understand that I have no problem with this sort of book being available, I do have a problem with being misled as to the content. If every reviewer that critiqued this book mentions erotica, bondage, etc..., don't you think it should have been mentioned somewhere on the cover?

I have read a lot of Lora Leigh's book, and it is getting boring. It is the same old storyline. Alpha male leaves b/c he wants to protect the girl he loves. Alpha male returns, and fights his attraction to the girl he loves. I need a little more creativity and imagination in my books. It is like she uses the same outline for everybook, just to get a book released. Get it at the library - don't bother paying for it with your hard earn money.

Excellent, 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.

I'll make this short and sweet.
It was a great book. I loved the romance, the storyline, the characters. It had just the right elements a story must have. Also a wonderful light sprinkling of humor. No steamy scenes too bad, but not really for the faint of heart.

A lot of people had noted that the books have bad editing and yes it does. also, did anyone noticed that in Reno's Chance, they mentioned that Raven's mother had died five years ago but in Dangerous Games, the mother is alive and did appeared at the end of the book?

Okay, I'll admit that I know that when I pick up a book by this author, that I'm getting erotica, which I love. What I really don't care for is Bondage, submissive roles and dominant's, yada, yada, no thanks. I was disappointed with this turn. This book throws us into an immature night club setting. Yes, I love her hero's, they are very, extremely Alpha as a rule (Breeds anyone?). And you can order her around all day, and command silence... but when he threatens her with a ball gag, yuck! I mean, bring on the toys, get down and dirty with each other. It's just that the images of everyone in black leather in these sordid night clubs, it's just too silly to even contemplate; it's not for me. And I am well aware that it isn't purely fiction, that there are really those who are into this sort of thing, It's just hard for me to take the characters seriously. The story is well written, the plot intriguing, it's a great book! But I've decided to keep it in my gym back and finish it in 30 minute increments on my recumbent bike. And pray that in the next installment, the DEA agents/SEALS will be working in a totally different scene.

I enjoyed her paranomal series (Feline, Wolf Breeds etc.) a lot more. The action thriller backdrop feels very forced and I think it would have been less irritating for the reader if it had concentrated more on the "interesting fringe clubs" the author notes in the beginning of the book. The erotic sections do make this a spicy read,but don't expect much more then that.

I loved this book. I have not read the first book in the series but I am going to go find it (in the anthology, Honk if you Love Real Men). The story had great characters. The hero was ultimate Alpha and the heroine was a stubborn girl who wants to kick butt, but said hero and brother will not let her. A great read if you like sensual books with some action.

Dangerous Games (Tempting SEALs)
I love Lora Leigh's books! I have read 1-3 of the Tempting Seal's and this one is my favorite. This book really lets you get to know all of the SEAL's and leaves you wanting to know more about each one.

This is the first book by Lora Leigh that I read. I purchased it on the suggestion on one of the discussion groups.

I thought the theme was very dark and I didn't feel comfortable with it at all. I also thought the plot was unrealistic in that a Navy Seal is doing undercover work for the DEA. Maybe that happens in real life, but I thought it was a reach. The characters were not very likable--but then I thought it was dark. "To each his own."

To say I was torked when I bought this and found out what it was would be an understatement. This is NOT a substitute for Suzanne Brockmann or Merliss Melton. When you search for either of those two authors, the store "suggests" that you'll like this book. While it is marketed as a "Romance", don't be fooled. This is porn, plain and simple.

This book should be rated "R" as there is nothing that qualifies it as a romantic suspense novel - just too much emphasis on the relationship from a sexual standpoint.

I would not recommend this to anyone looking for romantic suspense.
