Lethal Nights by Lora Leigh

#1 bestselling author Lora Leigh turns up the heat in her latest novel of high-stakes passion and persuasion featuring the men of Brute Force.

Ilya Dragonovich is no stranger to the dark side. As a safe-house owner for security agency Brute Force, Dragon knows that the battle line between good and evil runs through the heart of every man—and, sometimes, a beautiful woman…

Emma Jane Preston needs help. After her marriage crumbled, she believed she could get back to a normal, happy life. But now she needs the kind of protection that comes at a cost—one that only someone like Dragon can provide. But can Emma Jane trust this handsome, undercover operator to keep her safe when she is in danger of falling into the arms of the deeply seductive, fiery Dragon... and never letting go?

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is the third in the series, each with a new relationship, but carrying on the story, so we see development of the previous ones.

Ilya is a man who has known great suffering, and as the next leader of the Dragon clan, he has lived his whole life in danger. Sadly, as we find out, the most awful things which happened to him where perpetrated by those who should love him the most. Yet for all that darkness, he is someone who comes over as incredibly sensitive and passionate too. He recognises Emma Jane as his mate, but has stayed away for her safety, although ensuring that she is not rendered homeless or without income. She has a despicable ex-husband who would do anything to see her fall, and this ultimately brings the situation to a head.

I loved the drama, the sexual tension, which is exquisite, and the slow revelation of what they are to each other and how much they have to gain by acknowledging their love, lust, and passion for each other. Emma Jane is such a wonderful mix of innocent yet strong, hopeful, loyal, and utterly trusting in Ilya's ability to support her, but not control her.

There is undoubtedly more to come in this fabulously intense and powerful series, I am already looking forward to reading the next one!

This is the third book in the series and while you don’t necessarily have to read them in order, they are very good.

This is Ilya Dragonovich’s story. He is an important man in the underworld and while he knows who he is and what he is, he just is not quite sure if he’s ready to take his spot.

Emma Jane is a strong, independent, and fierce woman. She knows that she has gotten a bad deal with her ex-husband creating issues for her. And while she knows that her family loves her, she just couldn’t quite bring herself to lean on them when she needed them most.

Now that Emma Jane is working with Ilya’s group, she knows that she’ll need to be even more secretive with her family and that doesn’t sit great with her. She wants to be honest with them.

Ilya is powerful in his own right, but when Emma Jane is in danger, his inner dragon comes out to protect without fail. Ilya’s family drama has been brought to Emma Jane’s doorstep and while Ilya wants to be able to sweep it under the rug and not think about it, he’ll have to face it head on.

These two have a simmering chemistry that can only be found after denying their impulses for so long. They feed off each other and that’s because they are destined to be together.

I really enjoyed watching this story unfold. It has action, love, passion, craziness, and loyalty all wrapped in a package that is made of a dragon’s love and devotion.
