Melanie's Reviews > Lethal Nights

Lethal Nights was an amazing read with a steamy romance and a suspenseful plot.

Ilya Dragonovich, known as Dragon, is no stranger to the dark side. And when the first woman to capture his heart is threatened, no one is safe. Emma Jane Preston hoped life after divorce would be normal. But when she finds herself the target of a professional hit, it's clear that isn't going to happen. With Dragon to protect her, she knows her life is safe, but how can she keep her heart safe from the man who touches her the way no other ever has?

Ilya and Emma Jane initially meet a year prior to the events of the main story and while they're both attracted to each other, they don't act on it beyond one incredibly steamy kiss. When the pair come together again a year later, that attraction hasn't dissipated at all and it is present in all of their interactions. The chemistry between these characters is simply amazing and when they finally give in to their attractions, the scenes are incredibly hot. The only real conflict in the pair's relationship is Ilya's belief that because Emma Jane is such a good person, she won't be able to accept him and all of the terrible things he's done. I liked though that while Ilya had doubts about how things could last due to who he is, he never gives up on the relationship and is all in. Overall I was very happy with their relationship and the direction everything went.

The mystery of who was after Emma Jane and why was an interesting one. Although I will say it was fairly obvious to me why she was being targeted and I don't understand why it took the characters so long to accept the reason. There are a few great scenes that are quite suspenseful and keep you guessing as to how the situation will turn out. I thought the ending was well done and I was ultimately surprised by how everything was wrapped up.

Lethal Nights ended up being my favorite book in the series and I would recommend the series if you're looking for some steamy romantic suspense reads.
