Navy SEAL Clint “Iceman” McIntire didn’t earn his nickname by being a coward. Or a quitter. Having crushed an infamous drug cartel in Colombia, Clint was nothing short of an American hero. Now he’s home, on a much-needed leave, but instead of some R&R, he finds himself neck-deep in trouble with his best friend’s little sister, Morganna Chavez, the only woman who has the power to bring him to his knees. . .

Morganna has been secretly working with the DEA to uncover a thriving date-rape drug, which leads her to a shadowy faction that is more deadly than anything her team has ever encountered. Now it’s up to Clint to keep this beautiful, determined agent out of harm’s way, even while the passion between them threatens to consume them. Soon Clint’s greatest mission will be not just keeping Morganna safe, but getting her into his arms and never letting go.

Ooohhh, la, la...

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.

Overdone and overwrought....

I 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. :(

tedious and full of mistakes

This 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?

Erotic activities in sex clubs with good guys and bad guys. Ok but not recommended for buying.

I wasn't emotionally drawn into the story. It was easy to put down. The ending was happy but didn't elicit the emotions I like to feel at the end of the book. It was predictable. Nothing surprised or delighted me. The writing was ok. It didn't have any of my major pet peeves.

This was a typical good guys fighting bad guys with moles and spies in each others' camps. Clint and Reno are Navy SEALS. They grew up together and are best friends. Reno's sister Morganna is 9 years younger. She has been in love with Clint all her life. She pursued him, but he always kept a distance. There are 3 main dominant/submissive clubs in the area. Morganna knows Clint is a dominant and frequents those clubs. She has been going to the same clubs for three years, but doesn't go when Clint might be there to see her. She becomes an agent for the DEA and continues going to those clubs as bait in their efforts to get the bad guys involved with a new date rape drug. Clint discovers her there, and she and Clint finally get together. He has issues from his past due to abuse from his parents. The sex scenes in the story involve body piercings, rear door activity, exhibitionism, bondage and submission.

Story length: 344 pages. Sexual language: strong/erotic. Number of sex scenes: 14. Length of sex scenes: 4 short scenes (1 page or less) and 10 long scenes (average length 5.5 pages with 3 scenes 8 to 9 pages long). Setting: current day Atlanta, Georgia. Copyright: 2006. Genre: erotic contemporary romance.

What's not to love about a SEAL?

I'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.
