“O’Clare [writes] page-turners filled with…attraction so strong you can feel it!”—Romantic Times BOOKreviews
Product Description
Detective Rain Huxtable works alone, and she likes it that way. But when a fourth spouse turns up dead in Lincoln, Nebraska, Rain’s superiors call in help from the FBI. They’ve either got a serial killer or a hired murderer on their hands, and their solution is to team Rain up with Special Agent Noah Kayne—and send them undercover as a married couple.
Noah is infuriating…and infuriatingly attractive. Rain wants no part of this charade, but with four people dead under suspiciously similar circumstances in a matter of months, she has no choice but to play the part of a doting wife and investigate a close-knit group of suburban couples. It’s hard enough to keep up a professional facade when the heat between her and Noah burns so dangerously. But it may be even more dangerous for Rain to let her guard down once she realizes that the couples involved are playing a very sordid—and deadly—game …

4.0 out of 5 stars
Romance suspense, Oct 24 2009
By C. Stone "Reese" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Long, Lean and Lethal (Mass Market Paperback)
Long Lean and Lethal is the sequel to Lorie O'Clare's romance suspense about hot FBI agents. In this installment,FBI agent Noah Kayne is paired with the local police Rain Huxtable. Both protest that they work best alone but since the killer is targeting swing couples, they have to work together. Undercover as a married couple, the heat starts immediately. Noah's personality is very dominant and this works for Rain since she gets turned on when fighting and getting in Noah's face throughout the book. The plot for this was really good as you review the information on the previous murders and try to figure out who in the swingers group has decided to pick members off. The suspense kept me turning the pages. The only that bothered me though was the interaction between the hero and the heroine. There was great chemistry between the two and I would have enjoyed their exchanges more if there werent these arguments that turned into weird, aggressive foreplay that led to sex. I'm not sure if O'Clare was trying to play up a Dom/Sub relationship or Dom/Dom with the hero and heroine. An example would be Rain literally "needing" to fight Kane before sex almost every time. It was so out of rhythm with the rest of the story that it stood out. I guess it fit with Rain's aggressive character but romance lovers may be turned off by the almost violent like sex scenes.(nothing humiliating or demeaning.just physical fights) Other than that it was a great story. Nice plot, nice pacing as the story moves through and an excellent mix of story and romance.

It was good but not near as good as the first one., Mar 4 2010
By Jennifer B. Graham "Jennifer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Long, Lean and Lethal (Mass Market Paperback)
Ok. Don't get me wrong the storyline itself was good, actually pretty unique. I have never read a romantic suspense surrounding a group of swingers. That being said I think that made it difficult for Noah and Rain to actually form a bond or relationship. They just didn't seem connected as well as the characters of the previous book. The end was anti-climatic for me as well. I had a hard time connecting with Rain as a character, I just didn't get her.
Let me state again the story is good but if I have to compare it to the first one it is just not on the same level. If I had read this one first I probably would have rated it differently. Now the sex scenes were still smoking hot and right on par with what I expected from the author. With that being said I still think this will be a great series and I can't wait to read the third installment!

Long, Lean and Lethal, Jun 8 2011
By M. Nix - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Long, Lean and Lethal (Mass Market Paperback)
Detective Rain Huxtable and FBI Special Agent Noah Kayne are posing as a married couple to infiltrate a swingers club. Some of the members have been mysteriously murdered. Posing as a couple is hard for both of them because of their own personal baggage. The show they put on might save their lives.
It's obvious from the beginning that Rain and Noah are very attracted to each other and that it's more than just a sexual attraction. It's also obvious that they are very uncomfortable with their assignment. Sex is not an undertone in Long, Lean and Lethal; it's a very sexual story. The swingers lifestyle is not one I am very comfortable with. Rain and Noah weren't either so the book itself feels awkward and uncomfortable most of the time. Noah's possessiveness for Rain is sexy, but he has to pretend he would share her. And Rain has to put herself in situations that she doesn't like for the sake of the case. Long, Lean and Lethal has a strong romance and a lot of suspense. It puts the "erotic" in erotic romance, but it's not how I like my romance.
