5.0 out of 5 stars Loved it, April 15, 2000

This review is from: A Dangerous Man (Mass Market Paperback)

Can't say it enough - I just love Rosemary Roger's style. Maybe it's the sexy brooding type that I find so appealing in Nick Kincade and Steve Morgan (Sweet Savage Love). This book though was a bit too close in story, character, etc. to Sweet Savage Love - my only complaint. I'm glad though the promiscuity was dramatically lessened. I'm a true romantic at heart, and yes I do believe that Nick Kincade fell in love with Tory, regardless of his cold, "jerk-ish" ways. I wish Rosemary Rogers would write more books. I've tried other authors, but I can't get into the corniness of some of the books. I do enjoy Lisa Kleypas, but thus far, my favorites are still Sweet Savage Love and A Dangerous Man by Rosemary Rogers. Write another one!

This review is from: A Dangerous Man (Mass Market Paperback)

The title says it all. Action packed! Exciting! Exhilirating! A 'one sitting' read! I have very few complaints about this novel, although you experience deja vue if you've read Rosemary Roger's 'Sweet Savage Love', but you appreciate Rogers writing in the mode that she penned in the 1970s. Nick Kincaid is 'dangerous', much like his predecessor 'Steve Morgan'. I say precessor because Steve's appearance in 'Sweet Savage Love' occurred in the 1970s, set historically during the U.S.Civil War, Mexico's independence, and the expansion west. Actually, Nick could have been Steve's father, their lives were so similar. But there are so many similarities between the two novels that Rosemary probably should have created Nick Kincaid and Victoria Ryan as Morgan's parents. That would have been believable! But if you enjoy espionage, Native American scrimages, historical battles, being on the run, sensual, passionate and sometimes plain lust lovemaking episodes, then you'll enjoy 'A Dangerous Man'. Rogers has a five star winner in this one. But mind you, if you enjoy slow moving romances where the hero and heroine compliment each other with passionate words and kisses, debutant balls, and lengthy drawing rooms discussions, this is not the novel for you. This novels keeps you on the edge of your seat, or pillow, however you read! But if enjoyed 'Sweet Savage Love', in spite of its controversy, then you'll enjoy 'A Dangerous Man'! On a positive note regarding the author, Rosemary Rogers has learned to pen heroines whom are not as permiscuous as some of her 70s heroines. And it seesm she realizes that rape is not considered romantic!

This review is from: A Dangerous Man (Mass Market Paperback)

the ending left me unsatisfied. It's one thing to say this & that happened. But it's another to CONVINCE me of it. Maybe it's because I was never fully convinced that Nicky could love Tory (I wanted him to feel that earth shattering love). I thought this was more one sided; on Tory's part. Even at the end, he was attending a ball with another woman! I prefer a hero who CONVINCINGLY changes his ways. Why couldn't he fall in love with her first? She was doing all the heart wrenching stuff. Near the end, she hung around for months waiting for him (not that he made any promises to her or gave her ANY indication of a future or even a future meeting! ) and he didn't even acknowledge her during that time! It's hard to admire a woman who doesn't think she deserves better than that. Don't get me wrong, a few words here and there at the last few chapters and I would have given it 4 or 5 stars.
