    About this ebook

    "Jacquelyn Frank knows how to write an intense, rip-roaring good read!" --Cathy Maxwell

    A body that won't quit
    Clothes that are barely there
    Eyes that openly invite him to take what he wants

    Devon Candler is nothing like the helpless, vulnerable woman Liam expected when he agreed to provide security for her secluded Catskill Mountain estate. Yet her life is at risk. Her enemies monsters. Her secrets devastating.

    Liam Nash is a trained killer who takes no prisoners, fears no man. But to him this woman is seductively, devastatingly. . .

      More like 2.5 stars. I'm not sure what I really think about this book. I liked some parts others I didn't. I find most of her books that are written under the pen name Jax to be a little harder to like then her Jacquelyn Frank books. I don't know...maybe it's just me. I don't understand why Devon needed to hire a team of bodyguards if she is faster, stronger and just plain more deadly then the humans. She seemed to be able to take care of herself just fine. Liam spent half the book recovering from an attack and the other half seducing Devon. At one point it said that the Morphates are immortal and can't be killed then later it said the mortality rate for Morphates in the lab was 90%. I just didn't understand why if it's so hard to kill these people why did the big fight finale last for only a couple of paragraphs? Not sure I can recommend this book.Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC.

      4.5*Book source ~ Many thanks to NetGalley and Kensington for providing a review copy in exchange for an honest review.Devon Candler is a rich recluse whose life is being threatened and she needs the best security available. That would be the company NHK, highly trained, highly skilled and very deadly. As a co-owner of NHK, Liam Nash is a Team Leader and the only one available to head up the team to provide her security. Liam, used to being the consummate level-headed professional at all times, is thrown for a loop when he reacts to his charge with enough sexual heat to melt the polar ice caps. Somehow, they need to deal with their attraction before it gets Devon killed.I’m happy to see another Morphate story. The first, a short, was in The Pleasure Project and I was really hoping the Morphates would get their own series. Whether that’s the case or not is not known, but this second story makes me hopeful I’ll get my wish.I like Devon, her dedication, intelligence and take no shit kickass attitude. Liam is one hot yummilicious hunk of dangerous beefcake. The two are nuclear together. I’ve always loved stories involving highly trained dangerous professionals, so NHK is a wet dream for me. The secondary characters are a wonderful counterpoint to the main characters and the enemy, while being too arrogant for his own good, is deliciously evil. The story did drag out a bit too long for my liking, but all-in-all a very hot suspenseful read.

      Given by the publisher for an honest reviewIt was dangerously good...Completely mind-blowing!!I got addicted on it from the first pages..Devon is simply a remarkable woman.Few people could do what she did.What amazed me the most about her is her decency,her morals and the elegance she radiated with every action she made,with every word she spoke..She is one of the best and most amazing characters I've ever read about..Liam was so fun to read..He is the only man who deserved to have a woman like Devon..They have the same moral code..Yet,they break their own rules for each other..I loved his POVs..When he realised he was jealous,when described her,in the ending..I loved the story.I loved the characters.I loved the decency,the intelligence and the elegance this book exuded...I loved everything about it!Brilliant.Elegant.Unique.

      3.5 Stars

      I love a little smexy in my reading and while this book more than delivered on this end, the insta-love was the book's downfall in what could have been a great story for me.

      *Full review coming soon*
    • 2/5
      I did not have the easiest time getting into the story. Everything built up really slowly and was quick to let it down if that makes sense. The world was interesting but nothing that really made me go wow. Both characters on their own were ok but there was something off about them together. I can't put my finger on exactly what their relationship was missing but there was something that didn't sell me on them. The ending was meh. Definitely something you should grab at the library if you feel you must read it.

      Review courtesy of Dark Faerie TalesQuick & Dirty: In a world where it’s humans versus Morphates, a Morphate loner must trust a squad of humans to protect her life. Let’s hope her trust is not misplaced…Opening Sentence: “Why do I get the feeling I’m about to have a really bad day?”The Review:I was a little unsure what I would think of this book when I read on Jacquelyn Frank’s website that she was using the Jax pseudonym to write books featuring “unconventional” romances. Luckily, my nerves were unwarranted, and I enjoyed the story, although there were also issues that kept it from being a 4-star read for me.Fifty years ago, a doctor began running experiments on people. While a large portion of his subjects were homeless or criminals, those who discovered what he was doing also became test subjects. As a result of his work, a new species is born: the Morphates, who have super human strength and speed and are also immortal.In the present time, Devon Candler has figured out a way to kill Morphates. A Morphate herself, she wants to create an even playing field between humans and Morphates, so Morphates don’t become out of control. Unfortunately, Morphates who don’t agree with her plan have put a price on her head. To protect herself, she hires NHK, a security firm headed by Liam Nash, the one man who has killed a Morphate himself. From the moment they meet, there’s a palpable connection between Liam and Devon; however, neither one of them believe in mixing business with pleasure. Will they be able to resist each other? Will Devon be able to survive the assassins coming after her?Devon is a great heroine. She is incredibly strong and self-confident, and yet there is also a vulnerability to her that I felt made her very realistic. She managed to survive the experiments done to her and came out of them a strong, independent woman who’s not afraid to go against her species in order to do what she thinks is right. She’s definitely a heroine a reader can feel connected to and cheer for.The best partner for a strong woman is a strong man, and Liam definitely fits that mold. What I liked best about Liam is that he doesn’t treat Devon as if she is helpless. He knows she can take care of herself and treats her accordingly. They make a great pair.Now for the negatives. The world building was sometimes confusing. I would have liked to have more information on how the world operated, with the Federated States and the Dark Cities. I knew enough to follow what was going on most of the time, but a little extra explanation would have been helpful. Also, after the halfway point, it seemed like most of the book was sex. I don’t necessarily have a problem with that, but it felt like the plot suffered because of it. At the 95 percent mark, nothing had been resolved, and then it all wrapped up very quickly. I would have preferred a longer book, so that the end didn’t feel quite so rushed.Overall, I enjoyed the book, but did have some issues with it. While it’s currently a stand alone book, if Jacquelyn Frank decides to make it a series, I would be interested in reading more set in this world. It feels like there is much more that could be said!Notable Scene:The doors opened with a burst of energy, a no-nonsense movement and confidence, and in walked Devon Candler.Time suddenly ground to a halt for Liam. Every single muscle in his heavily powered body contracted abruptly with shock.Devon Candler was a woman.She entered the room with a display of powerful presence, blatant femininity, and the most mouth-watering curves Liam had ever laid eyes on. And just like that, in the breadth of a nanosecond, Devon Candler robbed Liam Nash of his peace of mind.FTC Advisory: Kensington provided me with a copy of Dangerous. No goody bags, sponsorships, “material connections,” or bribes were exchanged for my review.
