The Affair #3
A Risky Affair
Following the deaths of her adoptive parents, Solange Washington is finally ready to move on. But after she has a run-in with magnificently bare-chested Dane Roarke, a private investigator hired to run a routine background check on her, Solange's pulse goes wild--even as questions about her past surface....Dane knows there's more to Solange's story than meets the eye, and he suspects it has to do with secrets about her real parents. Torn by his desire for this vibrant lady and his growing suspicions, Dane walks a thin line between trust and truth...because passion has made this case personal.

Although I really enjoyed Dane and Solange's story, I hated how her self-centered grandfather manipulated Solange's life for his own selfish agenda. Dane is such a strong Alpha male but when he came to Solange, realizing how he really felt about her, and gently begged her not to marry Lamar, my heart ached for him. Beautiful story!

Sweet Story
I enjoyed reading Solange and Dane's story! They were too cute together! I'm glad that Solange had more family out there so that she wasn't completely alone although her grandfather handled it wrong. I'm also glad that Crandall and Tessa were finally able to be together! Good story.

I have mixed feelings. So we are going to ignore that Crandall murdered his own daughter and lied to cover his own ass? I have no pity for him or his mistress. I actually don’t believe Caleb should’ve forgiven him.

I think that this book was quite different from the others,a little unreal in term of the feelings of the characters.

A Bit Draw.n Out
Enjoyed the series, but felt the last book dragged. Even though I have said this, I would still like to read more concerning the characters.

Sad this is the end
I'm pretty sad that this ends the affair series. I was enjoying the Roarke family drama. The first story with Caleb and Daniella is still by far my favorite. This one was a bit unexpected because I assumed it would be about Kenneth but I still thoroughly enjoyed it!

A Risk Worth Taking
“A Risky Affair” is the final installment of Mrs. Maureen Smith's "Affair" series. As usual Mrs. Smith draws you into the characters and keeps caught up in their drama and antics throughout the whole novel. Dane Roarke and Solange Washingon’s story is definitely what one would call a "whirlwind romance". I enjoyed watching Solange’s attempts to fight her fast burning desire for Dane. When Dane first meets Solange, he knows exactly what he wants and goes after it despite the walls she tries to erect and the constant interference of Crandall Thorne, who just so happened to have his own agenda for getting to know Solange. Dane is quite an AMAZING man, sexy, intelligent, attentive and very protective. Despite the fact that Dane and Solange are attracted to one another, they are a little “gun shy” about getting too SERIOUS with each other because they’ve both been burnt and neither wishes to put their heart on the line, again. However, the chemistry between Dane and Solange is so intense it practically sets the pages of this novel on fire! Can Solange and Dane get past their secrets, learn to trust each other and willingly RISK their hearts for a possibility of a happily-ever-after?!!~~~~~~~Although, the final novel doesn’t have the same thrilling suspense as the first two novels, it still has a few intriguing twist and turns, and it’s definitely filled with some HOT & SPICY love scenes that will keep you turning the pages.

I enjoyed this story. I actually started on Sunday night and finished on Monday. The story is about Solange Washington (smh – I wished some imagination was used) who accepts a job with Crandall Thorne. Crandall is a multi-millionaire attorney who’s well known, respected and Tessa’s grandfather. There are some twists and turns in the story such as the grandfather had an affair and a child was produced. The child is given up from adoption and then the child has a child (Solange) and gives her up by leaving her at the hospital.
Also, Solange falls for Dane Roarke, a private investigator and cousin to Crandall’s daughter-in-law. I do wish that Crandall would have experienced love in this story however that wasn’t the focus. Overall, it was a good read.

May 12, 2015A very interesting and culminating conclusion to The Affair series
Solange is one lucky gal. Dane sounds like a tall drink of water on a hot, summer day. We don't have to wait very long for their romance to begin...a characteristic I truly appreciate in a romance. Both of them have interesting backgrounds that weave nicely together. I found myself rooting for them and happy when they finally admitted their true feelings for each other.

Loved the story line... thought it was going to be a little more x rated, but it was still an amazing book. Love is always right around the corner!
