Try her “Midnight Series” of three books. Although the danger is there, they are not as violent and the connection between the characters is amazing. You can completely lose yourself. The first of the series is by far the best, “Midnight Man.”

Lora Leigh is on my TBR list, but I’ve heard her books get a little too racy for my tastes– which are pretty open minded but with definite no go zones! But I will give her and Linda Howard a try. Thanks

You know, Zephyr, Lisa Marie Rice should be an author that I should like in theory but Dangerous Lover just didn’t work out for me. I plan to give her new book a try. Shannon McKenna I do not read and would be hard pressed to suggest authors who write similarly. Have you tried Linda Howard? Or Lora Leigh?

Finally, a review that makes sense! After coming across this book at my library and reading glowing reviews for Lisa Marie Rice on amazon, I thought it would be great. I was so disappointed. This book was bland for my tastes. Caroline was such a beige character and Jack was kinda boring. Blood diamonds are a troubling plot device and the ending (spoiler alert) where an American charity benefits instead of the money going back to help the horrors faced by African children left me with a very let down feeling: I mean, I know it’s fiction but dammit it doesn’t make sense! I feel bad that I didn’t like it– after all the great reviews she gets. Maybe her other series will be more to my taste. I need something in between Shannon Mckenna books and this. Any suggestions?
Thanks for reading my rant guys! I needed to get that out.

Hello I just finished this book acully and it was to my liking but the way she ended it was a little to cliff hanging…I mean were did that one preticualr offange come from?
I dont agree with what the lady up top says it was a good book I do agree however that you coulden’t really tell the lust turning into love kindaa thing it was a scary kind of obsision but then again there are many different types of love and he was a soldier

That’s more at the beginning of the story, Cindy and pretty violent, too. Honestly, I skimmed/read most of the bad guy scenes because I found them boring and predictable.

Thanks for the head’s up on the ‘diamond’ part of the story. I have avoided anything including movies with this plot because I find it upsetting. I will still buy this one and give it a try but I’ll know to skip scenes if it gets too gruesome.
