Seeing his Caroline, the love of his life, kissing another man through a frosty window so long ago made Jack Prescott what he is today; a highly trained, secret ops soldier who can kill with his fingers. Tired of the grueling and dangerous aspects of his occupation, Jack plans to begin a new chapter in his life; a new life in which he hopes to make Caroline a part. Now, Jack has returned to the town where Caroline used to live with the hope of discovering information on her whereabouts. Jack is taken aback to find that she still resides there. Expecting Caroline to be married, Jack is again surprised to learn she has remained single. Now all he has to do is get close enough to her. And he will. He has a plan. A plan that he has spent the last twelve years thinking about since that fateful night in the freezing snow when his world was shattered like breaking glass.

Caroline Lake 's life has changed dramatically in the last twelve years. With the death of her parents, she became solely in charge of her younger brother who was horribly hurt in the same accident which claimed her parent's lives. While Caroline grew up privileged, the money only lasted for so long, and with her brother's medical bills piling up, Caroline found herself slipping into genteel poverty. Now, since the death of her brother and her declining finances, Caroline doesn't know what she is going to do.

At her bookstore late Christmas Eve, Caroline is almost ready to throw in the towel; that is, until a large, dangerous-looking man comes in looking for a place to stay. While Caroline knows she should be cautious of Jack Prescott, she can't help but trust him. He is everything she has ever envisioned in a man, and for once she is going to follow her intuition. Unable and unwilling to be alone on Christmas Eve, Caroline voices what is in her heart. When Jack takes her up on her enticing offer, Caroline has a feeling that this DANGEROUS LOVER is exactly what she needs.

With danger now behind him, Jack is ready to claim the woman he has loved for so long. Or so he thought. Danger, it seems, has found him once again.

I have been a fan of Lisa Marie Rice's work since her Ellora's Cave publications. Having read everything she has written I knew I was in for a great book. What I got was an outstanding read with sinfully delicious and realistic characters, an intriguing plot, and sensuality that was hot enough to singe my fingers as I turned the pages. Jack Prescott had watched and loved Caroline for so very long and he was the epitome of a protector and a man in love. Because of what was in his possession, Jack knew that he would need to protect Caroline at the first sign of trouble. I quickly became enthralled at the way the characters interacted and how perfect they were for each other. Danger came in the form of a previous nemesis, and while I knew he would have to somehow find Jack and Caroline, it made the suspense no less valid for me. Immersed in this tale, I read DANGEROUS LOVER cover to cover.

Fans of Lisa Marie Rice will adore this sensual and emotional tale. Her writing style, her captivating love scenes, and the suspense that I have come to crave in a Lisa Marie Rice novel is all here within the pages of DANGEROUS LOVER. I highly recommend running, not walking, to the nearest bookstore as soon as this book is released. You will be glad you did.

Lisa Marie Rice is one of the best authors in the field of suspenseful erotic romance. If only she was better known I have no doubt we would find her books on best seller lists every where.

That said this story takes place on Christmas Eve. A woman who is beautiful inside and out has a room to rent in her large rambling but falling apart home. The heat doesn't work most of the time and the power can go off at the drop of a hat. She needs to rent it badly to pay her debts on time and not lose the house. She incurred the debts paying for her younger brother's medical care after he survived the accident that killed her parents but left him with severe medical problems. He past away last year and she is now all alone.

She is sitting in her book store thinking about her problems when through the door in the middle of a snow storm comes a very mysterious but good looking man who wants to rent her room. She doesn't know it but she knew him years ago as a homeless boy with a different name that she was kind to. She rents him the room and sparks fly.

The homeless boy is now a very wealthy man who has never forgotten her, his first and only love. An evil man is looking for him and has figured out where he is.

Will she trust her heart and take a leap of faith with him or will she listen to those who tell her he is a murderer and a thief?

This book is definitely worth buying and if you have not previously read her other books I strongly recommend that you do, starting with "Midnight Man."

I love Lisa Marie Rice, up to date - I have read all of her books. Great Story, great hot sexy charaters. In this book is very realistic. You will enjoy reading it I'm sure. Read all her Dangerous series. you wouldn't regret it.

I can always count on a great read from Lisa Marie Rice.

Jack and Caroline have a rich history, and their story is well written with a deep emotional connecton between them. Very sensual and sexy!

What happened to the end?? I was not happy with it at all. After all the drama and suspense, it just ended. It was so abrupt, that I felt like I was left hanging.

This was my second Lisa Marie Rice book and I loved it. Jack is one of those male characters that makes your heart flutter. Caroline is an insecure woman who needs love but is fearful at times of opening herself up to a relationship with a man. The two come together and what a romantic love story. Jack never gives up trying to win Caroline, he has loved her for years.
Highly recommend this book to anyone who likes a good romance read.
