I just binged out on Nicole R. Locker’s Dangerous Desire in one sitting. Bottom line here is that this story, available as either a single ebook (Dangerous Desire) or in a three part series format (The Dangerous Desire Series, starting with book 1, Reckless) was a total blast and well worth getting if you’re all all interested in stories involving sexy as sin playboy billionaires, which happens to be a weakness of mine. This book or series, depending on how you get it, is loads of pure romantic fun. It had just what I wanted, was well written, and had a great plot full of perfectly heated romance. I simply adored its leads, heart-damaged beauty Perla Fae and Jax Maddox, the sexy billionaire (with his own emotional issues), and their wonderful explosively hot chemistry. Their growing bond a pleasure to watch as they developed over the course of the pages. The cast of supporting characters were also simply superb. What more I could one ask for? But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises - this book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, it is easy to highly recommend. Two caveats: (a) this book (series) was formerly the single book "Tragedy and Desire" so don’t buy it if you own that one unless you want a repeat (though there is bonus content that may make it worthwhile anyway), and (b) you need to decide if you want it as either a single book (at just under $5) or in the form of a three part series (total cost just under $6). Pro tip here is to get series book 1 which is free (free always being a good price) and then if you like it (which I frankly am sure you will) buy the full book and save a buck. Just don’t be surprised if the story stops abruptly and unfinished if you buy series form book 1. That’s just the nature of the series form vs full book.

After walking in on her fiancé with another woman, Perla leaves and starts over with her sister. She has endured so much already, and she wants nothing else to do with the man who showed so much promise but let her down in the end. Now she is working for a law firm, and wouldn't you know it there is someone who doesn't quite like the fact that she is in the job that she once had! Making her work environment miserable Perla takes it in stride until she meets Jax and now she has a whole new set of problems!

Pretty good. Writing was typo-free, thank goodness ... no distractions there.

Perla & Jax were pretty good. Jada was a nice touch, too, as a device to help explain things.

But the writing was a tad simplistic. Don’t get me wrong - flowery, repetitive restatements irk me, but this prose was just straightforward. No memorable turns of phrases?

And, hello? Major cliffhanger at the end ... who was that lurking in the shadows? Grayson? Or Lisette?

Perfect accompaniment to ☕️
As this storyline is in a three part series it’s the perfect addition to your coffee break or while just taking a moment, I definitely recommend you’ll enjoy the plunge into this fun, fast, suspense filled, easy to read story. Each book is satisfying yet leaving the reader hungry for more!!

I’d like to make a proposition to you.

Jax Always gets what he wants, and what he wants is Perla. But she’s not a pushover and she has more to worry about than Jax..... I can’t wait to read the next installment! There’s so much going on and so much intensity! Awesome read! Enjoy!!!

I really enjoyed this. It was a short captivating read that grabbed me from the very beginning. I just binged read all three of these books (novella length) this first one really left me wanting more. Make sure you have all 3 books as you will need to know what happens next.

Great start

I really liked Perla! She's a down to earth, independent strong female. Jax seems a little to Christian Grey arrogant to me. But I can't wait to see whay happens next.

This was an enjoyable read and I especially liked how the author had chapter titles. I knew what to expect before reading the next chapter. I also liked the chemistry between the MCs.
