This was interesting and a bit dark but slow, with a bit of an archaic cant to the dialogue.
The heroine is a strong-willed outlaw, the hero is a lonely lawman. We also have a cat as a side character which is cute and entertaining.
I don't have much else to say, it didn't make a huge impression.

A lawman and a swindler are forced together in proximity. I LOVE these types of stories. And I always love the female characters Campbell writes, but there's always something lacking. The writing style doesn't really stick out to me, for better or for worse, but there's something that I cannot put my finger on that seems to be missing for me to really picture these characters and fall in love with them. On paper I should've loved this book, but the execution of it: it's almost it, but not quite.

Lots of good banter between the main characters. The plot moved way too quickly at the end and the ending was a bit disappointing after the build up of the beginning of the book.

Danger's Kiss is an addictive romance that slowly builds because of close proximity. There is a good deal of violence in the novel and I'm not even sure if I mentioned every violent act in my content warnings. I loved the well developed romance between Desirée and Nicholas but I felt the plot wrapped up a bit too quickly in the end. This is a fun, steamy read that was free on Nook a few weeks ago and I'm glad I picked it up. I'm excited to read more of Campbell's works and her website offers three free books if you sign up for her newsletter.
