5.0 out of 5 stars Clancy-style action and insider detail, steamy encounters, May 10, 2005

This review is from: On Danger's Edge (Paperback)

Wow! Lise Fuller has an extraordinary eye for detail. Given her fascinating and varied background, in Fuller you can expect meticulously-researched and action-packed romance with a wealth of insider information. On Danger's Edge will appeal to men as well as women, with the Special Forces mission details fully realized. If you love a good adventure where you also *learn* something, On Danger's Edge is a fast-paced, entertaining ride! This author has a knack for cinematic visualization - I could almost *see* the scenes as she switched viewpoints to cover the action in the most seamless way. I'm hoping this author does not get snapped up by Hollywood before she can come out with more of the books in this series! Good read, exceptionally good first action/adventure/romance novel. Snap it up, signed if possible!

5.0 out of 5 stars On Danger's Edge, February 21, 2008

This review is from: On Danger's Edge (Paperback)

When Tom MacCallum goes to the local bar with his buddies, he's only looking for a one- night stand to try and take away the pain of his memories of a fallen comrade. As a special forces soldier he knows that relationships never work out in his line of work. When he sees
the brunette at the end of the bar she holds his attention but it's obvious that she isn't the one night type.

Photographer Rorie Lindsay comes to the bar with her friends to celebrate. Today is not only Rorie's birthday but also the day her divorce becomes final. Her ex was an abusive man who did his best to undermine Rorie's self-esteem. She never expects to end up at Tom's house and in his bed. What follows is the most passionate night that either has ever experienced. Even though Tom wants to get to know Rorie better and spend more time with her, but experiences with her ex-husband make Rorie feel like she's not ready for a relationship. In the morning she sneaks out without giving Tom any information on how to find her.

Leaving the country on a job, Rorie finds herself being held by rebels. Tom's Special Forces unit is sent in to rescue her and her companions. When things go wrong with the rescue, Tom and Rorie find themselves on the run, being held captive and falling in love. Even after they admit their love, each is faced with dealing with personal demons before
they can commit to having a relationship with each other.

On Danger's Edge is loaded with romance, danger, and intriguing secondary
characters that I want to see again the future. Rorie is a heroine who is fighting to find her true self after a marriage that left her questioning her own self worth. Tom is a hero who really wants Rorie's love but is torn because the demands of his job don't make him good marriage material. Throw in action, danger, and a run through a jungle and On Danger's Edge is an entertaining reading for any romance fan. Originally published by another publisher and now being offered by Cerridwen, On Danger's Edge was intended to be the first in Lisa Fuller's Dangerous Encounter Series when it was originally offered. I can only hope that rest of the series will be coming soon from Cerridwen. I'll be waiting anxiously the next addition to what looks to be a must read series.
