A good romantic thriller requires a dark hero who lives on the edge. Dare's follow-up to Dangerous Ground brings back Lake McGregor, an angst-ridden assassin working for W.O.L.F., a Mission: Impossible-style organization in which he's known as "the best, coldest killer that ever walked." While tracking a rogue agent who has killed several organization colleagues, Lake is called back to his hometown for his dad's funeral. Folks there still scorn him for accidentally killing his younger brother years beforeAeveryone but stunning art gallery owner Alison Carlyle, who is fascinated by Lake's passionate yet disturbing paintings. She has a message from his father that she hopes will free him from the guilt he's carried all these years, but the more she tries to help McGregor rid himself of past demons, the farther she is drawn into the dangerous labyrinth of his secrets. While the plot is scarcely unique, with a particularly unoriginal villain, Dare has a knack for romance and spins an engrossing tale. (June)

4.0 out of 5 stars A well-crafted romantic thriller., Nov 20 2001

By	Jenn "jenncw" (SoCal) - See all my reviews

Lake, the Gray Wolf of Dare's WOLF pack, a covert ops group, returns to his home town. Hunting him is one of the villans from DANGEROUS GROUND, but Lake has to face some old demons before he can take care of the new ones. The town of Jewel, CO is holding a grudge for a childhood mistake, and only newcomer, the owner of a local art gallery sees past the outside, with the help of his emotional paintings. This is an intese book, and an edgey thriller, with some very interesting characters. A must-read for suspense fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely awesome and definitely addicting!!, Dec 3 2000

By A Customer

This is the first time I've ever felt it necessary to review a book I've read. Justine Dare has written it so well, that it was totally captivating from the first page to the last. Remember how a soap opera's last scene is made so intense, that you just have to see it the next day to see what happened? This is how Justine's chapters end. I couldn't put the book down until finished reading it. And I will read it again. It was that good :) I graciously thank Amazon for referring it to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Complex and riveting, July 17 1999

By	Elizabeth M. Prigge "wilkeslady" (Cincinnati, OH USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Once again, Justine Dare has taken a tormented hero and given him another chance at love. This book deals with the Gray Wolf of the Wolf Pack -- and his story is completely absorbing. What's really nice too are the heroine's self-reliance and independence, and a sweet love story as a second plot line. You care about these people -- and you understand them completely. It's what I enjoy most about JD's writing.
