She'd be the death of him...

When undercover FBI agent Lucas Paretti agreed to infiltrate the mafia, revenge was the only thing on his mind. So he never dreamed he'd come face-to-face, lip-to-lip, body-to-body with his first love, Gia Trainello.

Years ago he'd fallen hopelessly in love with sexy Gia. But before they could plan a future, the situation got hot and Lucas had to run, leaving her behind. It was the hardest thing he'd ever done. Until now...

Because Lucas still wants Gia-- madly, frantically...recklessly. And the scorching sex between them has only improved with age. It could have been so good... If only Gia wasn't the new Lady Boss of the crime family Lucas has vowed to bring down...

4.0 out of 5 stars Mafia, Harlequin-style, January 16, 2008

This review is from: Dangerous... (Harlequin Blaze) (Mass Market Paperback)

When her father and brother are gunned down, and her other brother is left paralyzed, fashion designer and Mafia princess Gia Trainello finds herself back in the family business, taking over the reigns as head of the Ventuo crime family until her brother can assume his rightful position. Lucas Paretti has held the Trainello family responsible for the death of his brother a decade earlier. Committed to putting an end to their reign, he is working for the FBI on the inside as a consiglerie, never imagining that he will be back facing his former lover Gia. Sparks continue to fly between the two, and Lucas soon finds he isn't the only hiding a secret. Can he bring an end to the Venuto crime family without implicating the woman he cannot stop loving?

The husband and wife team that make up Tori Carrington have penned another exciting scorcher, featuring a new bend on the usual crime boss. Great dialogue, plotting, and story execution (though I was not surprised with the culprit behind the Trainello hits). The only complaint I have is that it wasn't longer.

5.0 out of 5 stars WOW, This is not Mary Burchell's Harlequin, December 5, 2007

This review is from: Dangerous... (Harlequin Blaze) (Mass Market Paperback)

What a great book! Carrington brings the Mafia to Harlequin and doesn't hold back. True to life characterizations about running a "family" without the rose tinted glasses many romance writers want to wear. This no-holds barred story kept me turning the pages with anxiety. Being a romance, I assumed the ending; however, it seemed as though I may not get my HEA. I loved this book!!!!!!!

Dangerous by Tori Carrington is a story about the female mob boss and undercover FBI agent. The twist in this story is that Lucus the FBI agent and Gia the mob boss were lovers in the past. Gia father and brother were murdered and she has taken over the business until her oldest brother recovers from his gun shot wound. Lucus is undercover as their lawyer and try to protect Gia from going to jail for all her mob activity. The price was right and it has great twist and turns, Enjoy!
