Author: Lora Leigh

Stars: 3 1/2 Stars

Review:
This book is part of a series. Do readers need to read the first book No. But I would recommend it. I was lost at first and I had even read the first book.  The characters are interesting enough to keep readers engaged but honestly there is so much sex it feels as if the author didn't know what to do with them when Ivan was protecting her they had sex. While others were trying to track down the bad guys. They had sex. When she looked at him they had sex. If they were not having sex they were thinking about sex. 
The story is interesting enough so I flipped though the sex scenes to get to the guts of the story but  I found I had finished the story in an afternoon.
I am interested enough in the series to keep reading but if the next one is once again 85% sex I think that will be the end of the series for me.
Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for the advance Copy of Lora Leigh Dagger's Edge

Synopsis:
Ivan Resnova wants nothing more than to escape his hard, brutal past. Starting over is not so easy once you've been a powerful crime boss but now, instead of being punished for his alleged crimes, Ivan fears that the one woman he can't forget is in danger of paying the price.

Crimsyn "Syn" Delaney thought the danger she'd faced was over, and that she could resume her life. She never imagined it would return with a vengeance and throw her back into Ivan's world. But when an attempt is made on her life, she needs Ivan more than ever to keep her safe--even if she is in danger of falling deeply and dangerously in love.

Mass Market Paperback, 304 pages

Expected publication: August 28th 2018 by St. Martin's Press

Lora Leigh lives in the rolling hills of Kentucky, often found absorbing the ambience of this peaceful setting.

Lora’s family, and her writing life co-exist, if not in harmony, in relative peace with each other. Surrounded by a menagerie of pets, friends, and a teenage son who keeps her quick wit engaged, Lora’s life is filled with joys, aided by her fans whose hearts remind her daily why she writes.
