A review by leanner
Danger and Desire by Kimberly Kincaid

5.0

What a fantastic anthology this is, I've enjoyed all the stories immensely. It's also free so what are you waiting for.
I've discovered new to me authors and revisited some faves and their series.

Caitlyn O'Leary - her heroes are always swoon worthy. Lawson carried the grief of his brother's death, it affected his life and decisions. Jill's grief was over her cousin, almost a sister. Both meeting at a counselling group, coffee turned into so much more and sparks sizzled. I enjoyed the slow burn of their impending romance. When danger stalked her we watch Law go all macho and protective, this Marine Raider was deadly serious in his security measures for her. This was a wonderful story and had likeable characters, I'm ready to read more of this family.

Maryann Jordan - I love the Lighthouse Series. - Levi is headed across country to start his new job at Lighthouse security. A circumstance has him starting his role before he even arrives. Who is this woman and can she be trusted? We have sparks flying here, but he must find out if she is a criminal or a victim. Their story is short but sweet and I'm guessing we'll learn the growth of these characters in other stories in this series.

Elle James - another favourite of mine. A delta hero and a war correspondent, she is someone from his past. Can they have their second chance? Will they both even survive the war zone? Plenty of danger and drama in this one, I loved it.

Kimberly Kincaid - new to me author, just what I need more books on my TBR pile. lol
I enjoyed these characters, he's a cop and feels unworthy due to his past to see Tara. She's educated, an ADA and super smart. Sizzling moments will inevitably bring them together. A criminal is after her and they don't even realise. Will he be able to save her life? Intriguing story and I look forward to some full length novels by this author

Rachel Grant - Haven't read this author before, so I'm interested to see a full size novel. I enjoyed reading about the Alaskan area in which this was set. And of course the owls. This couple almost left their relationship too late, 3 years of what ifs, just wanted to smack him. I didn't really have a conclusion with this one, a few loose ends that I guess continue in this authors stories to come.

Cat Johnson - Not read this author before either. This one takes place in DC but the action is overseas. Seemed like a regular romance until one circumstance had me glued to my kindle.

Cristin Harber - Another new to me author. Secrets could make or break a relationship. She's no idea what on earth is going on. Who is this man she loves? I've not read this series so I felt like something was missing. Perhaps it would be better not read as a stand alone.

Janie Crouch - Haven't read this author before, not knowing her characters made no difference as the story unfolded with mainly the two main characters and their drama.
She's practically a recluse, hiding from the world after surviving a traumatic event. He's been secretly watching her, not in a bad way but keeping her safe. That is until he brings danger to her door. This was an exciting action packed story and it was fun watching their romance blossom.
