Stone Hamilton had never been known for being the good guy. Just ask anyone who knows him. But things have changed since he started dating the sultry goody-two-shoes that he met over the summer. Now that it’s his senior year at Quail Mountain High, can he manage to hold on to the girl who’s stolen his heart or is it only a matter of time until he screws it all up?

If someone had told Dara Golding last school year that she’d be dating an ominous, wheelie-popping, biker boy her senior year, she would’ve scoffed. But she’s learned there’s a lot more to Stone Hamilton than she originally thought. Or is there?

How far will Stone go to hold on to the girl who has changed his world?

I read a review somewhere that his book was better than the first and I have to say that I totally agree. This book was filled with so much more emotion than the first. Of course I fell in love with Stone a little bit more. He's all kinds of messed up but when it really matters he's there for you at he drop of a dime. that's the kind of guy all us girls dream of right?

Well, without giving up much of the story this time around Stone and Dara have a lot more challenges to face together. There were times when I found myself actually yelling out loud at Stone and how seriously dumb he can be. Other times I found myself crying at the scene in front of me. My heart was broken more times than I can count but in the end the whole story left me smiling and completely satisfied with how things worked out. Yeah I'm a sucker for a happy ending. I have a couple friends that love books that are not all flowers and butterflies but me, I love a good cry but I'm at my happiest when things work out in the end.

I was not let down by this second chapter in the lives of Stone and Dara and you bet your bottom I'm starting the next book just as soon as I hit send..

Dive into this book and while your at it you might as well get the third because I have a sinking feeling it's going to be even better.

So this is the second part of the Dangerous Trilogy and if you've not read the first yet then what are you waiting for? Go and go now! It is the continuation of Stone Hamilton and Dara Golding's journey, set several months after the events of 'Dangerous'. You will remember that Stone is a motor bike riding, bad boy and Dara is one of the popular girls - polar opposites but drawn together by their vulnerability and their pasts. Stone is constantly trying to find his way in this relationship, always worrying that he may lose Dara through something that he does - having never had a real relationship before, this fear is very real in his eyes.

The path of true love never runs smoothly and there are a few kinks in this path along the way. Dara's mother makes a reappearance in 'Dangerous' after leaving Dara with her Grandparents at a very young age, only to seemingly disappear out of her life again here. Stone may think that he sucks at relationships but he is very much in tune with Dara's emotions and what she wants (most of the time!) and he sets out to find her for Dara.

Trust is a major issue for Dara in this book, as Stone's bad boy past comes back to test their relationship in the form of two of his previous 'girls'. Will they survive this major test and will Dara truly be able to trust and put his bad boy past when it belongs, behind them. The thought of losing Dara causes Stone to do a lot of soul searching and he needs to come to terms with his past too before they can move forward.

When tragedy strikes, will it bring Dara and Stone closer together or will drive it them further apart?

I am not usually a fan of young adult books but this series has me hooked! Suzannah Daniels has created two incredibly likeable characters in Dara and Stone - opposites on the outside and yet so similar on the inside. Both so vulnerable and just wanting to belong to someone and to be loved. The focus of the book is the characters and how they respond and react to situations. Time is taken to explore the thoughts and feelings of the characters so that the reader can truly understand them. I'm off now to read the third book in this trilogy, Delirious, and can't wait to see how their story turns out!

book 2!
loved it more then the 1st book! its hard sometimes to write a review without spoiling it for other people. They love each other but can love be enough to over come a feeling of betrayal?
Dara is having a rough time with things in her life. Her mother, finding her boyfriend being kissed about another woman, Her grandmother will she be strong enough to stay away from the person that has her heart? when she really just needs his arms wrapped around her for comfort.
Stone loves Dara the bad boy has let down all his walls for her. A old friend kisses him he is shocked and didnt react fast enough intell it was to late and dara saw. He will do anything he can to show her how sorry he is and how he only wants her trying to do what he thinks will make her happy. His love for her is beautiful i cried in this book more then i care to admit but it was a wonderful story both the struggles they go through but in the end love each other.

I was so excited to see Stone again I fell in love with him in 'Dangerous' and he made me fall more in love with him in this bookie (if that's even possible) he's so caring and protecting, "damn it. I felt like calling her mother and chewing her a** out. How could she treat her only daughter like this?" And he's just bada**, "for the record," Stone whispered in my ear, "I do carry protection." He's so open about certain things, "all right. Then let's talk about something else because right now, all I can think about is getting you out of those jeans." He's so protective, "I protectively placed my free hand over her hand as it rested on my arm, wanting to send a message to these guys that she was mine. I needed her to be mine."

This is such a wonderful second book in the Dangerous trilogy. I absolutely loved it. I finished book one earlier today and had to start Devious as soon as I was done. I read it in one sitting. This book made me laugh, cry and swoon. A pile of tissues later and I'm still emotional. I don't want to give anything away but I will say that I love these characters. Stone and Dara stole my heart! The story line was great and moved the story along at a smooth pace. The only thing I don't like is the fact that I have to wait for the third and final book Delirious expected to come out sometime in 2014.

**Given a copy in exchange for an honest review**

Devious, as the story of Stone and Dara continuous it's just keep getting better and better.
The flow is good and I love how everything went (with all the emotions and all).

The characters and the story are really great.
I love how the emotions of each character and the scenes were written.
I find myself to love this book more than the first one because of how it gets me excited at the same
time nervous on the next part that will happen.
To sum it up, this book is also good. I can't wait on what will happen next to Stone and Dara.

Book two in the Dangerous Trilogy is just as good as the first! Devious picks up with Dara and Stone going through their Senior year in high school. They grow closer as a couple, but Dara still has insecurites based on Stone's past and reputation. There are new challenges that they face separately and together. There are ups and downs, twists and turns. I loved this sequel. Its such a great compliment to Dangerous!

I really like this series. I love a bad boy with a good heart. Even though this book was a little more angsty, I'm glad they got everything worked out quickly and that the author didn't drag it out. Parts did make my heart hurt a little bit though. I love that Dara has good BFF's too! Can't wait to start Delirious, which I will be doing as soon as I finish this.

Continuing the story of Dara and Stone.

Once again Ms Daniels has pulled me along on their rollercoaster of life. I felt every agonising drop as they dealt with the feelings of betrayal, the mistrust and the jealousy. Following Stone's journey to make Dara happy was, at times, heartbreaking.

Congrats on another great book.

Totally skimmed this bitch.

Unless you want to read a romance set in the present but written by your grandma with all of her pearl clutching and language…SKIP. IT.

Fuck it.
Avoid the entire series.

This is a better than average teen romance. Volume one of the trilogy, Dangerous, is still offered free to get one interested. The book has some grammatical errors but otherwise is well written and edited. It’s a cliché that in these stories the male is always tall, dark and handsome, hard bodied with narrow hips, wide shoulders and bulging rock-hard biceps. Wimps, it would seem never get the girls. And only a voluptuous beautiful suitor would be worthy of this hunk of manhood. This first person narrative is told alternately from the guy’s and the girl’s point of view.

Are all high school romances as fickle, untrusting, jealous as this one. This couple run hot and cold as quickly as a Texas weather pattern. Does a girl have to “put out” to keep her guy interested? The fact that Dara’s drunk father killed Stone’s twin brother is a complicating factor in inter-family relationships.

No one will accuse this YA Novel of being great literature. The offer of book one got me interested in seeing where the author would take the storyline. I was rather disappointed when book 2 turned out to be a mushy teenaged soap opera.

If you didn't fall in love with Stone in the first book you sure as hell will in this one.

Senior year and that means prom and graduation. Also teenage drama. Oh the drama.

Dara wanting to find her mother turns into heartbreak.
Stone doing everything he can to help Dara only messes up. Hey he is a guy right.

Between the teenage drama, the searching for her mother. Dara suffers a loss so great Stone brings her back to the light. I swear he can't catch a break in this book. Seems for everything good thing he does, he turns around and messes right back up. However there was 1 thing that Dara shouldn't have blamed him for. In the end she see's the light.

So many break up, and hook up's with these two.

I can't wait to read the next book to see where their lives take them.

This book showed that every love story has flaws but even with so many cracks, it's the foundation that makes it perfect. With this, both characters are tested on their patience as well as trust in one another and I was happy to read that despite their insecurities both stone dara finally made it.

Great continuation

Binomial has just as many interesting surprises as book one. The characters in. This book are giving more of their backgrounds so you realize the reasoning things are like they are. On to part three

How far will Stone have to go to Keep Dara? No one ever told her she'd be in love with a bad boy biker but she was drawn to him. Will it be enough ?
