I really loved this book! I really like how the author goes into great detail with all the action. She sure has done her homework. If you love hot alpha males, hot love scenes, actioned pack emotional roller coaster then this ones for you! Ps I love how the hero Gage is 42 years old:))

Purchased and read: Danger and Desire Boxed Set. Tags: Romantic Suspense, Second Chance at Love, Ex-Military, Hero: 42, Heroine: 30, Hero is Divorced I looked forward to this story ever since catching bits and pieces of their history in IGNITED. I really liked Gage (41) since the first book. Despite his personal turmoil, he had a great sense of humor and he was the perfect man to be Hunter’s second in command. The former Green Beret was divorced and had a thirteen year old daughter. He didn’t want more kids so he had had a vasectomy. Then he met Clair, they dated for four months, but before he could propose, she broke up with him. He tried giving Claire space hoping she'd reconsider but she moved on, or so she said. NSA analyst Claire (30) did a favor for Gage in IGNITED, and that favor had come back to bite her in the butt. Not only did she have to deal with pressure at work, but the feelings for Gage that she’d tucked away came back full force. She thought her reasons for walking away from him were sound at the time—the twelve year age difference, she wasn’t ready to be a stepmom, she didn’t want to give up on the idea of having kids, and she didn’t ever want to be with someone in his line of work. Claire was a little all over the place in this book and it took her a long time to even out because of the threat against her, then her mixed emotions about Gage, and finally having to deal with the suicide of her brother. She spent a lot of time in tears, mourning, wracked with guilt and anger. I didn't particularly enjoy the scene of her emotions coming to a boil that Gage wanted to help her work it off by allowing her to hit him. And I had to wonder if her brother hadn't died so suddenly, would Claire have eventually admitted to her real feelings for Gage? I just didn’t feel the chemistry between them, unlike between Khalia and Hunter. Even though it’s been two weeks since I read the first two books, this one was forgettable whereas Ignited was anything but. I was disappointed that the action and suspense didn't come close to the first book. I was hoping for another dangerous security op like it was with Khalia and Hunter. Now that one unfolded like a movie while this one was like an episode for a tv series. I felt the ending was a little rushed with the team finding out who the real targets of the bombing had been. I still enjoy the characters and the writing overall, so I'm looking forward to Zahra and Sean's story since their POVs indicated their story might be next.

This was a wonderful read. I wish it could have been longer. I would love to hear more about the three of them.
