Review
Ten years is a long time, especially if spent alone. When Jess Harper sees the code phrase that signifies that one of his old partners is in trouble, it triggers a flood of memories. And central in his thoughts is a woman who could send his blood pumping with just a look -- a woman who married his best friend. Jess knows the message couldn't have been sent by his best friend because he has been dead for 10 years. Who sent the message and why? Elizabeth had coped with the death of her husband, throwing her energy into the caretaking of their son, Jamie. Yet deep within her is the knowledge that Jess was out there, somewhere. When someone kidnaps Jamie, Elizabeth has no other recourse then to send out the call for help. And when Jess comes to her, the tendrils of emotion begin to take new shape. In the midst of danger, Jess and Elizabeth face their renewed passion. But will they find Jamie before it is too late? Will they unravel the mystery that dates back more than 10 years? And will their budding relationship survive as they tread on Dangerous Ground?What a treat! Ms. Dare takes the readers on a high-speed read that is packed with danger and intrigue. Everything falls into place to make this an exciting keeper! With strong characters and an unusual storyline, Ms. Dare deviates from the norm and delivers a book that has more than its fair share of sugar and spice. Plus, she leaves room for more at the end.

Dare dares the limits,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dangerous Ground (Paperback)
It has been ten years since Ian Russell died during an overseas covert operation. His group of operatives, The Wolf Pack, immediately disbanded and faded into the woodwork. However, they all agree to answer any requests for help from one another, using the Wall Street Journal as the avenue of communication.For the past decade, Jess Harper has forgotten his past. However, a cry for help appears in the paper, bringing him out of hiding. He meets with his summoner, Ian's widow Beth, the woman he always has loved who reciprocated his feelings. Apparently her son is missing and Beth feels the lad has been kidnapped. While working together, their old feelings return. Also returning is old enemies who plan to terminate the two lovers. DANGEROUS GROUND is a well written, exciting romantic suspense. The lead protagonists are a charming couple, who will garner reader empathy and interest and the story line is fast-paced. Justine Dare is a writer that will go very far within the sub-genre. P>Harriet Klausner

Highly Recommended,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dangerous Ground (Paperback)
Seventeen years earlier Beth declared her love for Jess, only to be turned away by him claiming he was unlovable. Instead she married his best friend Ian. 10 years after Ian's death, Jess is called to help Beth find her missing son. The love they shared for eachother never dimmed and now they fight their feelings for eachother and come to terms with secrets from the past that are coming back to haunt them. Lucky for a beautiful day in Seattle, I was able to sit out in the rare sunshine reading all day. I highly recommend this book. Hopefully this will be the start of a series and Lake will be in her next book.

I just couldn't put this book down.,
By bethjan3@aol.com (Waukesha, Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dangerous Ground (Paperback)
This was the first time I'd read a Justine Dare book. It certainly won't be my last! It's very rare to find an author who can tell a story, both what is happening in the present, and what happened in the past, that will keep you turning the pages. So often an author will turn back the clock as if the main character(s) is daydreaming about what had happened to bring them to this point. With this book, it is interspersed with the entire story, always bringing a new aspect into what is happening, and what may happen further along, while tieing the entire story line together with perfection. This type of writing made me keep turning the pages well into the wee hours of the morning.The main storyline is about Beth Russell, the widow of a covert "unofficial" government agent, Ian Russell, who has been dead for 10 years; and Jess Harper, a member of the team code named "Wolf Pack" that Ian Russell had formed and led. Beth and Ian's son, Jamie, ! has been kidnapped. The police believe he has merely run away, but Beth knows different. After running out of options, she uses the only thing she has left to try and find her son. The 'Wolf Pack' pledge: that if anyone of the team ever needed another, there was a way to get in contact with the remaining three members of the team. This story is about Beth and Jess. What happened in the past, and what is happening to them while they search for Jamie. It never loses sight of the main characters while the story line builts to it's conclusion. I highly recommend this story. And hope that Ms. Dare will write a sequel about the one "Lone Wolf" left, Lake McGregor.
