Lethal Nights

Lethal Nights did not live up to the same standard of other Lora Leigh books. I found the story rather boring.

I enjoyed this story of Ilya and Emma Jane more than I thought that I would. Even though Ilya had a horrific start in life, he still had a touch of humanity, especially when it involved Emma Jane. Again, my only complaint, if you would call it that, is the hazy feeling of danger that the reading audience is unaware of but seems like we’re supposed to. It’s different than the suspense of what’s going on with Emma Jane. This wouldn’t keep me from reading any future books from Lora Leigh and I do look forward to reading, hopefully Alexi’s story.

Lethal Nights is another hot read by Lora Leigh! This woman is a master at creating such heat and tension between the main characters that I feel like I need to fan myself! I'm a huge fan of the anti-hero, and man does Ilya fit this. He's dangerous, mysterious and a bit mystical. He's referred to as the Dragon and comes from a blood line of gypsies. They all have a tattoo of a dragon to signify their lineage. His is on his face to cover old scars which didn't sound attractive at first, but the author wrote this in such a way that the dragon tattoo seem to be a separate entity from Ilya. Like I said, mystical. The heroine, Emma Jane is more of the girl next door type. The kind of woman who everyone has nothing but good things to say about her. She's genuinely nice but with also with a strong backbone. Ilya thinks she is too innocent for him. He wants her but he knows he should stay away. when danger comes her way, he will stop at nothing to protect her. I'm really enjoying this series. There are a ton of side characters that are completely fascinating and I want to know more about them. I think maybe some of them are tied to other series...I hope. Great series!

This is a new to me author and the third book in this series. Ilya Dragonovich (yes that is the main character’s name), originally I thought this was a shifter story, but it is so much more. Russian Mafia, gypsies, bad exes, psycho family members and interesting friends abound. There is substantial heat, the tattoos, background story and romance, make this an excellent read.
