If Looks Could Chill (Passion For Danger, #2) in Dangerous Hero Addict Support Group

Based on Shoot to Thrill, the 1st book in the series, I knew I had to suspend disbelief to enjoy this read. I had no problem with that - in fact, this book wasn't as far-fetched as the previous one. :)

Ms. Bruhns knows how to write action scenes. As far as I can tell, she's got the military lingo right - but I'm no expert - and even though I knew the good guys would win in the end, she's kept me on the edge of my seat. The torture scenes were nasty but less cringe-worthy than the ones in the 1st ...more

I love a book full of alpha men that seem to have their world turned upside down by the heroine. I was a little sad when this one ended. Marc Lafayette is still following the bad guys from book 1 Shoot toThrill and is not looking for any distraction. Tara Reeves happens to distract him by way of investigating mysterious threats in the bayou that his team is assigned to and by way of instant attraction. Tara is a kick ass state trooper that is determined to stay on the case and prove that she is ...more

The second book in the Passion for Danger series by Nina Bruhns. Overall a satisfying and enjoyable read. I did have an issue with the multiple romances and got confused as to who the main H/h were. I prefer my romances to concentrate on one couple with possibly a minor romance on the side. It was still good enough that I kept reading to the end.

I am new to Nina Bruhns, and was a bit leary of starting the PFD series due to some so-so reviews, but now I am a fan! Her spec ops teams are truly a joy to read about; they are peopled with the kinds of men and women who will gladly give it all to save America. Her men are hot and hard and somewhat enlightened - the women working with them are competent and smart and the men know these women can take care of themselves . . . so long as that woman is not THEIR woman. Oh well, no alpha male is pe ...more

I would give it 10 stars if I could! Superb book. Chills and Thrills along with characters and dialogue that grip you from page 1. This series by Bruhns is as good as it gets for me. I simply was unable to put this book down. "Shoot to Thrill", the first book was fabulous but as the plot thickens and more characters are introduced, the second book steps up a notch. Beware - there are some major cliffhangers and you'll be left with unanswered questions until the third book comes out in April 2010 ...more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Wow, this book really ramped things up. There was so much going on, 3-4 different couples, who's stories we were following, and with all of them you aren't quite sure how things ended.

I'll start out with Kick and Raine from the last book, they are the only ones that seem happy and settled.

I'll start out with Kick and Raine from the last book, they are the only ones that seem happy and settled.

From this first couple we can to to Raine's BFF, Gina. All we knew from last time is that she was betrayed. She finds herself in a bad place within this book. The super smart Gina is fighting the only way she can right now, she does her best to not make the weapon they want. Her actions come at a high price to herself. I don't think this will be the end to this part.

From Gina we will go to her ex-fiance, Wade. The last time around I liked him at times and hated him. With this book I am not sure what to think of him. I felt some of the same reservations that Rebel did about him and still do. I don't think we have seen the last of him.

And speaking of Rebel....I just want to shake some sense into her. The big reveal of the last book with her being Alex's angel, makes her playing the martyr here all the worst, especially when we find out all she has done for Alex and Helena. It makes me mad, but Alex really doesn't tell her everything either. I don't know what to think of her little fling with Wade.

Quinn and Darcy are fantastic together, but they sure do have their own issues. I love their chemistry and I hope they are able to work things out. Their fights were so much fun to read about.

And the last couple, Marc and Tara, were fun to read about too. Tara has more than enough personality to go toe to toe with him. Even Marc's doing everything he could to scare Tara away didn't faze her at all.

The whole terrorist plot tied all of these people together. Some of that part of the story was a little boring, but it did make sense that it would need to be there to connect all of these people.

I also really liked that this time we got to learn more about STORM, especially Bridger, who seems to be a legend in the organization.

I am looking forward to the next book as the cast of characters is large and I would like to see some of the stories left hanging from this book resolved. ...more

Lots of stories going on in this one. Quinn/Darcy, Alex/Rebel/Wade, Tara/Marc, Rainie/Kick, Gina and the overall arch of finding the terrorist and the virus. Quite a rush, this one was. Highly recommend.

Loved the story, but too many secondary stories going on. All the stories were good in there own right, just alot of them going on all at the same time.
