When I started this book, I approached it with a bit of trepidation. I'd read some reviews of it where people were turned off by the fact Clint, the hero, was lusting after Morganna, his best friend's sister, from the time she was jailbait. Thankfully, LL skimmed rapidly thru that and by the time they did eventually give into their heated feelings for each other she was in her mid twenties.

This all became a quick twinge of annoyance for me, because the thriller aspect of the tale engaged me from then on. The plotting in DG far outpaces most of Leigh's e-book years. Yes, part of the conflict is once again "I want her/him but I won't let myself have her/him", however, the external conflict worked so well I didn't find it as irritating.

Morganna has known Clint all her life and has loved him for most of that time. He has been helplessly drawn to her as well, but has run from it for many years. (Being a SEAL he has a good excuse to do so!) Tired of waiting for him to get his act together, and bored with her secretary job, she joins the police academy. When we next meet up with her she has moved up to newbie DEA agent and is on a team investigating the BDSM clubs in Atlanta to ferret out the source of the new date rape drug hitting the scene.

Clint, a DOM/sub connoisseur is in for a shock when he discovers Morganna hanging out at his haunts and making quite the scene. When he finds out that she is in fact undercover, and, in addition, the subject of what appears to be a drug trafficking payback vendetta, he hits the roof and works it so she's pulled off the case. No worries- she's strong enough to maneuver him and all the other overbearing men involved, and ends up working with Clint to catch the baddies.

Their story is fast paced, heart breaking at times, and their chemistry sizzles! ( )

Usually I am really good at giving details of the book but all I know is the folowing: This book is part of the Tempting SEALs Series, but I do not know what book number it is. I am still trying to figure it out. Navy SEAL Clint is deeply affected by his childhood trauma, so much that it has affected his relationship with the love of his life, Morgana. She is his only weakness; has been getting his attention since she was a walking toddler and he was eleven years old, is the younger sister of his best friend and fellow Navy SEAL. He has been trying to repell her in hopes that she will stop enticing him. The problem: She is now a DEA agent and attempts have been made to kill her, so, Clint decides to protect her while fighting his DEEP URGES to sex her up. His fear is that his father's legacy lives through him, and wishes to cut all ties with her because he is afraid to hurt her as he was hurt as a child. She is determined to save his life, is ferousious when it comes to Clint, and wishes for him to give himself to her entirely, body, soul, emotionally, sexually. He is deeply in love with her, that everyone else around him knows it, but he is in denial. This book has a lot of sex in it, including BDSM. If you would like to live vicariously, this may be the perfect book. It is very entertaining, you feel for the characters, and the ending will surprise you. I can't wait to read the other books ( )

Morganna Chavez, an undercover DEA agent, unexpectedly meets Clint McIntire at a Dom/Sub sex club. She is hunting a man who has drugged and kidnapped six women using a new date rape drug. Clint is her brother's best friend, and the brother of her best friend. Because of physical abuse doled out by his father because Clint didn't keep his mother from sleeping with other men, Clint feels himself too stained to act on his life long attraction to Morganna. Morganna is at her wits end, and if Clint won't "man up" and accept her love, she'll dump him. Meanwhile, the DEA sting is putting both of their lives in danger.

A lot of explicit sex: BDSM; mutual masturbation; anal intercourse; genital piercing -- However, the plot makes it seem more "natural" a part of the story than in many of the other erotica I've been reading. ( )

This is the 3rd book I have read from this author and really enjoy her stories. She adds just enough suspense and hot romances to hook you into the story and keep you reading. ( )

Navy SEAL Clint “Iceman” McIntire didn't earn his nickname by being a coward. Or a quitter. Having crushed an infamous drug cartel in Colombia, Clint was nothing short of an American hero. Now he's home, on a much-needed leave, but instead of some R&R, he finds himself neck-deep in trouble with his best friend's little sister, Morganna Chavez, the only woman who has the power to bring him to his knees. . .

Morganna has been secretly working with the DEA to uncover a thriving date-rape drug, which leads her to a shadowy faction that is more deadly than anything her team has ever encountered. Now it's up to Clint to keep this beautiful, determined agent out of harm's way, even while the passion between them threatens to consume them. Soon Clint's greatest mission will be not just keeping Morganna safe, but getting her into his arms and never letting go. ( )
