Too Dangerous to Desire Mass Market Paperback – November 20, 2012

I have read all three books of the "Lords of Midnight" series and this is the perfect ending. To see the Sleuth Hound get his girl. It is about him getting the girl he left behind. I always like second chance at romance stories. You won't be disappointed if you read this one. If you have read the other books in the series, you must read this one!

Enjoyed this story. I have not read other books in the series and still really liked the characters. Plot was not especially unique but heroine was very good and who doesn't like a bad boy who loves her?

I could not wait for this author to release the third book in the series starring Cam and Sophie..and as usual, she did not disappoint me. Beautiful story, sexy, witty and a perfect touch of suspense that captivated me from the first page to the last.Another wonderful story from a very talented author.

It was a nice enough book, but there were a few problems that kept occurring that bothered me.One of them was random capitalization in dialogue. I know that in that time, letters were capitalized all over the place in written works, and especially letters, but was it really necessary to put that into their speech? It just pushed me right out of the story every time it happened.Also, both characters talked to themselves a lot. They even remark to themselves that it's uncharacteristic, but this certainly doesn't stop them. I think Cara Elliott did this in the previous Lords of Midnight book, too, and it annoyed me then, but the fact that I'm noticing it again definitely bothers me more. (I can't actually remember her other books well enough to say whether they also talked to themselves or not.)And finally, laughs were written out as "ha, ha, ha." This was probably the most annoying of all. Why could she just stick to, "He laughed," or something equally innocuous? People generally don't sound like "ha, ha, ha" when they laugh unless they're being sarcastic, so it was rather distracting.

This is a great book it has plenty of thrilling moments and will make your heart pound and you won't want to stop reading so you can know what comes next

This is 3.5 stars for me, so I rounded it up to 4 stars.* * *Of the three hounds, Cameron Daggett is the most reserved and most secretive, even his friends don't really know his full story and joke about where he came from and what happened to him. Cameron is content to leave things at that: no job defines him, no fixed residence ties him down and he's always one step ahead of his past.Until his past walks into The Wolf's Lair and back into his life.Sophie Lawrance never forgot the love she sacrificed many years ago but has no time to dwell on it because she is busy keeping her sisters and father safe from a blackmail threat against their family. She never expected to see Cam again, and never expected to do so at The Wolf's Lair, where she was delivering something to her blackmailer.But now that they have found each other again, they must wrestle with questions from their past, as well as questions from their present. What happened to Cameron these past five years? Where did he go and what did he do? Who is blackmailing Sophie? And why?Love is sweeter the second time around.There is one scene that stands out now that I am writing this review: when Cam finally reveals who he is to Sophie -- and Sophie reaches out and touches him. It's a simple scene but evocative of the yearning and love that the two feel for each other. Their younger selves weren't ready for the relationship but it is equally saddening that their older selves aren't free of any impediments either: Sophie has her sisters and her deteriorating father to think about and she keeps the burden of the blackmail a secret from them."Sophie ... Sunbeam." The words were barely more than a sigh, yet they hit her with all the force of a physical slap. Only one person in the world had ever called her by such a pet name. A boy on the brink of manhood, bristling with uncontrollable passions.Dear God, it couldn't be ... Her head began to reel and her throat was suddenly dry as dust. She stared in mute shock for a long, dizzying moment before managing to make a sound."Cameron?""Ah, at last you've puzzled it out. I was beginning to think you had forgotten I ever existed.""N-never," whispered Sophie.He leaned back and regarded her in solemn silence.Reaching up, she slowly untied the mask and let it fall away.- p. 44I have to say I enjoyed Too Dangerous to Desire more than I did the previous books. I always thought Cameron was very fascinating when he appeared in Gryff and Connor's books and often wondered how he got the information he provided his friends. Even then, I knew that there was more to Cameron than met the eye.The intrigue in this novel was also well done. It involves an important document that directly affects the Marquess of Wolcott, Cameron's lifelong enemy -- and Sophie's family is the decisive factor. I love how Cara Elliott ties in the blackmail plot with the mystery behind Cameron's origins and that Sophie was the key, all along: not just to his heart, but to the unanswered questions of his past as well.My one complaint is the ending, which I thought was overly complicated: Cam and Sophie get shot at, and then they get captured ... and then they end up on a sloop at sea and the villains are chasing after them. The tangle that Sophie found herself in was already sorting itself around midway through the book, when Cameron stepped in and then Cameron's own problems started to be settled near the end -- I wish the author had allowed the story to end that way, without all the roundabout action and final resolution.

Ms. Elliot knows how to write a plot that draws the reader in and keeps you reading. I could not stop reading

The series is brilliantCouldn't put book downReally good book to end the series though hope it continues with other characters in books

Excellent reading. Was pleased with this purchase as in excellent condition and good value. Would buy from seller again
