It was immediately obvious to me that this book is part of a series, one of which I haven’t read. That being said – I was surprised that I didn’t get lost or feel like I didn’t get to know the characters. Sometimes with a series, the author relies on previous books to do the character building and doesn’t give enough in the current book for the story to really click with a reader who hasn’t read the previous book…kudos to Dee Davis for keeping this one a stand-alone within a series.

Book two in Dee Davis’ A-Tac series, Dangerous Desires, focuses on team member Drake Flynn. The poor guy let himself fall in love with a double-crossing spy; he was forced to kill her and became bitter and filled with distrust for the female species. Love was marked right off of Drake’s list of things to do until he met Madeline Reynard.
It’s an interesting story line with tons of possibilities; too bad I didn’t believe in the relationship. I couldn’t suspend my belief long enough to More...

This book packed a number of genres within the pages. The book is a page turner and the action propels the reader forward at a very fast pace. Using a C.I.A. special operative team to rescue and extract a woman named Madeline from a dangerous organization in Columbia, the main characters' personalities are quickly established. Most notably is Madeline, the protagonist, who sells her soul to the the devil (Ortiz) in order to be of service to saving her sister. Placed in compromising situations of

There were some things about this book I enjoyed and others that really annoyed me. The plot and suspense were good and pulled me in. I liked the characters for the most part and she did a good job with the setting though parts could have been tightened up to keep the story moving.
What annoyed me (and apparently others after seeing their reviews) was:

Dangerous Desires is the second book in Dee Davis's A-Tac series and follows a group of men and women who are member of a CIA black ops unit called American Tactical Intelligence Command (aka A-Tac). The book began with Drake killing a woman he was working with on mission after he found out she was a double agent. He was attracted to the woman and was deeply troubled by what had happened; he vowed never to let a woman get under his skin again. Enter Madeline Reynard and she has been under the th

I came across this title while drilling down on some new names and reviews and thought a bit of a break from the genre I'd been reading so much of was in order. This was the perfect book to read to "cleanse the pallet" so to speak.

When I read the first book in this series, Dark Deceptions, I was trying something new, as "special ops"-type books are not usually my thing. I was pleasantly surprised, and have been looking forward to Dangerous Desires, the 2nd book in the A-Tac series.
Dangerous Desires did not disappoint! Drake was a great moody Alpha male. Burned at love and trust by another agent, he want's nothing to do with Madeline - he' sure she's untrustworthy from the get-go. I really, really lik More...

Okay, I loved this one. And I really liked Nash and Annie in it too, so I'm definitely going to re-read the first one. Dangerous DEsires is about Drake and Madeline and is a great (albeit very dangerous) trek through the jungle with wild animals and bad guys on their trail. The love story is sweet although it seemed to all tidy up in a page, despite Drake's determination that he would never trust a woman again. But that aside, the whole story was a page-turner. The love scenes were hot, the

From My Blog...[return][return]Dangerous Desires by Dee Davis is the second installment of her A-Tac series, bringing back action, adventure, suspense, intrigue, and romance. Dangerous Desires stands well on its own, yet I do recommend Davis’ previous novel Dark Deceptions, which introduces the A-Tac team. The mission this time is for the A-Tac team to go into San Mateo, Columbia, and break into Casa de Orquidea, the known location of narcoterrorists Jorge di Silva and Hector Ortiz, to secure Am

I thought this was a great second book to the A-Tac series and just as good as the first. You can read this book as a stand alone but it blends wonderfully going right from the first to the second book. I do really like the way Dee Davis writes and I was waiting for the second book after reading the first and now really waiting on the third. I think that the mix of suspense, romance and action is perfect. This story is action packed from the start and keeps you interested in it to the very e

When I read a book a little outside my usual range, and I'm not thrilled with it, I have a hard time deciding how much is me and how much is the book.
I kept thinking that if I could just put on the same "just go with it" mindset I do when it comes to movies,I might have really enjoyed it.

I was lucky enough to receive this book from a Goodreads giveaway. I had read the first book in the A-tac series and was looking for more. The second book in the series follows Drake, the Anthropology Professor of the group, and does get into his past later in the book with a nice plot twist. A secondary plot of sabotage continues from the first book and still keeps you guessing. I'm looking forward to reading the third book and finding out what happens to the group.

I'm not really sure why I picked up this book. Spies, covert ops and the like are not my usual cup of tea.
I found the flow of the story a little jerky for me. There were some hard jumps from the main characters back to secondary characters. It tended to pull me out of the story a bit. But it was too bad.
I won't be picking up the rest of this series.

I can't say that I've ever been a "big" fan of Dee Davis, but I've usually liked her work. However with this story I really had to force myself to keep reading. To say that I suspended belief (multiple times) would be an understatement. The heroine was a choking mix of TSTL and just flat out idiotic. I felt no sympathy for her at all. The hero seemed more alpha-wannabe than truly alpha and that just came across as sad (in my own opinion).

Not a bad book once one suspends one's rational thought. Much of the story is beyond belief if one looks at the operatives from a rational point of view. Once I suspended my belief in reality, I was able to lose myself in the book. Most likely, I will not read the other books in the A-TAC series.

I liked this one a lot. Liked that Madeline was not a perfect heroine. She made her choices and then lived with them, although I did think she was a little too competently kickass in the beginning. I liked Drake a lot as well. Well done plots, and no TSTL sex in this one, either.

Madeline and Drake are the main characters and the story takes place in the Columbian Jungles. Madeline is trying to destroy Ortiz Di Silva because he had a hand in her sisters death and they are out to kill Madeline bacause she knows too much. Drake has been sent to help her because she has information they need. There is a lot of excitement and danger in every turn.

I enjoyed reading this book. It had both action and romance, which was a fun combination. My only complaint was the use of the "f" word multiple times; I don't know why authors feel the need to throw that kind of stuff in. But otherwise I enjoyed the story and the characters. It's a good choice for anyone that prefers more modern rather than traditional romance.
