At Homeland Security’s demand, he’s rushed home to find Tess embroiled in three controversial stories. One may offer the key to her attacker. On top of the emotional and physical upheaval of the bombing, Tess has been offered the journalistic opportunity of a lifetime at the Washington Post. If she accepts the job, she and Brett face living on opposite sides of the country. With their wedding two weeks away, she has temptations to face and tough decisions to make.
Serving as her security detail, Brett sees Tess’s remarkable investigative reporting skills in action, and acts as her sounding board and partner.

Dangerous Dames is an outstanding collection of light suspense, paranormal, and cozy mysteries. I discovered a several of authors through this anthology in its original form and already loved the others. The change was in response to the fact that another group had a similar name, not an attempt to trick anyone into repurchasing the collection. Anyone who has read these books would remember it. It is one of my top five collections of all times and every selection is a full length book.I bought the anthology in its newest form because I love it so much and I love this title; I can remember it, lol.

I have read Stealing Justice and it was great! I'm excited to check out the other books in this set. Here is my review for Stealing Justice.
Count me in for this entire series! If the books to follow are anything like this first book, they are sure to be amazing! Sydney and Grey are wonderful characters, and when they were put together, it was perfect. They are each extremely flawed, which makes for two very interesting characters. However, when you bring their flaws together, they are fascinating. They have a constant clashing of wills in the book, which shows how persistent they are. Not to mention they are also fighting against the strong chemistry they have. Essentially, they have no one, but when this super suspenseful situation throws them together, they end up being very significant to each other. I don't want to give anything away, but the evolution of their relationship is exciting. I really liked their interactions in the training room scene, and the security system installation scene. Those seemed to stand out the most for me as big moments for Sydney and Grey, as well as the ending. That was a great ending! I'm excited to see more of Monroe. You can tell there is a lot to his story as well, and it will be great to see who can turn his world upside down while he is off the grid. Overall, Stealing Justice was great! It was interesting, suspenseful, and at times funny. I still laugh whenever I picture Sydney flipping off Grey. It had everything I could want in not only a book, but in a series too. Hopefully there are many cases in the future of The Justice Team!

I read every line and loved every single story. They were all 5 stars and I'll be adding these authors to my 'read more' list. You can read the summary of each book in the book summary on Goodreads so it isn't necessary to go into detail. Suffice it to say that each book has a strong romantic theme, some are plain mysteries, some are paranormal and have demons and Angels, and one has dragons. Oh My! I loved them all.
