This is book two of the Men Who Walk the Edge of Honor series and, in my opinion, felt much more like romantic suspense than the first book, and that made me very happy.

Trace Rivers has every reason to be angry, and he’d made it his life’s mission to bring down organizations like the one that kidnapped his sister, Alani. She was taken by human traffickers and ended up in Tijuana where in book one of the series, When You Dare, she was rescued by Dare Macintosh, a friend and colleague of Trace’s. More...

The second book in the Men Who Walk On The Edge of Honor by Lori Foster. Another good read with some hunky heroes. Trace Rivers, the hero, was wonderful and drool worthy. I wasn't as fond of Priss, the heroine, though. I thought she was borderline TSTL and just didn't like her in-your-face attitude. But I am able to overlook her because of Trace. **sigh** Anyway, the story was fast paced and entertaining.

Re-Read February 2012

I am re-reading this series as have just got #4 in the series(ARC from NetGalley)and wanted to refresh my memory of all the characters and story lines.

Back in July I really liked Trace and my opinion hasn't changed, he is definately one of the good guys, a sexy one at that ☺. I was a little unsure of Priss at that time and to be honest that opinion hasn't changed much. In some respects I am trying to work out if she was really brave or just stupid! She went into the situatio More...

Trace if Fever is a sensational read full of excitement, danger and temptation!

Trace River’s sister, Alani, is safe and sound from her ordeal with the flesh traders in big part to his friend Dare. Those responsible are dead, but there are still plenty out there in the business to take down and Trace is making it his personal mission to see every last one of them stopped for good.
Priscilla Patterson is out for revenge on her unknown father, Murray Coburn, a big time player in the human traffickin More...

Trace of Fever is the second book in the series Men Who Walk the Edge of Honor by Lori Foster. This story, like its predecessor, When you Dare, addresses the issue of domestic sex trafficking. In the series thus far, Lori Foster has introduced us to a cast of wonderful characters who fight against these human trafficking rings and truly despicable characters who engage in trafficking women.

We first meet Trace Rivers (a.k.a. Trace Miller) in When You Dare after his sister is rescued from the huma More...

Oh how I wanted to like this book. I adore Lori Foster, and typically enjoy her romantic suspense novels. Foster has a way of writing the tou More...

This book is the second full novel in the series Men Who Walk the Edge of Honor. This story continues where the first one left off, addressing the issue of domestic sex trafficking. Lori Foster introduces a cast of truly despicable characters who engage in trafficking women and of course there are good men and women who are dedicated to bringing the bad guys down.

The book introduces a new female character Priscilla Patterson, or Priss. I have read other reviews of this book and it appears some More...

This book was chest-tastick: from the gorgeous hunk of man on the front cover (note his chest and abs) to the description of Trace’s muscular hairy chest…just enough and pointing the treasure trail downwards!

Trace was forced to watch from the side lines in ‘When You Dare’ (5 Hoots, buy it next month you will love it). But now, he is hell bent to rid Ohio and the hopefully the US of flesh peddlers. His current target is Murray Coburn and his scheming evil whore, Hellena, Hell for short. Just when More...

4.5 out of 5. Another Lori Foster triumph. This second in a trilogy about Men on the Edge of Honor, Foster's characters were, for the most part, introduced in book one. The heroine, however, is quite a kick--coming on strong with the big kahuna of a crime organization that has been abducting and selling women on the world-wide sex slave trade for years. She claims to be his daughter by a woman he abducted 25 years earlier--her supposed dad doesn't remember. Why should he when she was indeed one More...

3.5/5
We first meet Trace in When You Dare after his sister is rescued from Sex traffickers by Dare. Driven by his need to rid the world of these vile scumbags who sell women to the highest bidder, he goes undercover and infiltrates a sex trade organization.

He proves himself invaluable and capable to the boss Murray, and finds himself in a right hand man position.

Our heroine Priscilla was a conundrum for me. On one hand she portrayed the fierce ass kicker; and on the other hand, she played the vi More...

Actually 4.50stars.

The second of this fun series is a quick and enjoyable read. The nicely muscled and nicely named Trace Rivers is undercover as a bodyguard in his quest to bringing down those involved in human trafficking, which has been a thorn in his side before his sister’s recent rescue from traffickers. Those bodyguard duties get stretched as he takes on shielding the enticing Priscilla Patterson, the unknown daughter of Trace’s target. True to form Ms. Foster brings the heat to this cou More...

Wow, this one really didn't measure up to the first in the series for me. Trace was great, and all an alpha male should be, but the heroine in this book drove me bananas.

Priss (BARF!) was cloistered by her mother and kept away from the world up until the mom died three months ago. All of a sudden, she's a bad to the bone, I'm not taking anything off anyone kind of chick? It just didn't add up for me. There were so many TSTL moments, it was almost unbearable. Even toward the end when we get the I More...

For the most part, I've enjoyed Foster's 'Men Who Walk the Edge of Honor' series (which I've read out of order), but this book was not the bright spot in the bunch. Trace and Priss just really weren't that likable from page 1, Trace was a dick and Priss was just plain ridiculous - and unfortunately, they didn't really improve as the story progressed.
One word really stuck out for me as I reading this book - "Baloney" (page 149). If "Ready Set Jett" was the appetizer, "When You Dare" was the entré More...

I enjoyed this second installment in this series by Lori Foster that I stayed up super late to keep listening. While I found the bad guys so totally vile i wanted to puke, the chemistry between Trace and Priss was explosive. She's not as TSTL as Molly was in the first book, but pretty close. Then again, sometimes bravery is mixed with stupidity, otherwise people wouldn't willingly go into the danger, knowing that the situation isn't the smartest move one could make.

As it was an audiobook, the n More...

Trace of Fever what is there to say about this book? Well first of all it was a very pleasing book, but it wasn’t any great work that I would read again. The females name is some long name but is shortened to Priss which I know, but when I think of that name I don’t think of head strong women who are usually in these types of book, that is beside the point. I actually didn’t like Priss all that much she just didn’t feel like a real person one minute she was outgoing and fun and the next she was More...

Normally I'm a big fan of Lori Foster, but I just didn't enjoy this book as much as I have others. Maybe it's the subject matter - human/sex trafficking - which makes me sick to my stomach. Maybe it's the fact that I just don't sympathize much with the heroine. Her background is so extreme, so maybe that justifies her simplistic view of the world, but many of her choices came across as stupid and selfish, rather than brave. That kind of recklessness deserves a red shirt, in my opinion.

Some of Tr More...

Note: I am really loving this series by Lori Foster. Where the first one was more romance/story than action, this was more action based. This series has been easy to sit down and read quickly. Very Good!

What I Loved: I felt the pacing, action, and story was a great mix in Trace of Fever. The sizzle between Trace and Priss was evident from the beginning making their romance sizzling hot. I loved Jack More...

After reading the first book in the series, When You Dare, I thought there was no way I would ever read another book in the series. Plot holes, unexplained events, random characters coming and going, but most of all - the heroine was a doormat and the hero was an ass. Then I read the introductory short story in the anthology The Guy Next Door and some of the plot holes, unexplained events, and random characters were explained. Suddenly it made more sense. I still didn't move it up to 'Liked It' More...

I have so enjoyed my experience so far with author Lori Foster and her Men Who Walk the Edge of Honor Series. They are truly what you call Alpha males in the contemporary romance genre. They are hard, sexy, protective, loyal and bodies that can make you want to turn into a puddle of goo by just looking at them. What more could you ask for in a Alpha male?


When Priscilla Patterson shows up at Murray Coburn's office hellbent on exposing his dirty work, Trace Rivers is in for a handful of spitfire. More...

This is the second novel in the "Men Who Walk the Edge of Honor" series and is a worthy follow-up of the first book wherein Trace Rivers was introduced as the brother of Alani Rivers, the woman rescued from slavers in Mexico. It is a novel that is filled with tension, edgy characters, compelling romance, and the high drama of an undercover operation.

Murray Coburn was a scumbag who had become incredibly wealthy from selling women into sexual slavery. He was a sociopath--absolutely no conscience a More...

This is my second Lori Foster book and I wasn't sure if it could impress me as much as When You Dare so I went in without many expectations. I was surprised that I did enjoy this book almost as much as When You Dare. I loved Trace. He was your typical alpha male, sexy, full of testosterone but still with the soft, caring side that he shows in the way he spoils his baby sister and protects those who need that protection. He played the part of the undercover operative perfectly and I loved seeing More...

Trace Rivers is undercover as a bodyguard for one of the sleaziest men on the planet. Murray Coburn is very powerful and successful, hence the need for a bodyguard. But he is also the mastermind of a human trafficking ring.

Trace’s sister fell into a human trafficking ring (not Coburn’s) and now Trace has made it his mission to stop all human traffickers.

While on the job one day, in strolls Priscilla Patterson, AKA Priss, claiming to be Coburn’s daughter with a few tricks up her sleeve. Trace is More...

Trace of Fever is the second book in this wonderful alpha male trilogy. And what a great addition to the series.

Trace is one of the "operatives" that work with Dare (from When You Dare) and is on a mission to rid the world of human traffickers. His sister was recently rescued from this type of evil and although the ones responsible for Alani's kidnapping are dead, Trace knows there are others and wants them destroyed.

While working undercover as a bodyguard to the wealthy businessman Murray Cobur More...

This book is ridiculously easy to fall into. I started reading, got sucked in, and came up for air half way through the book and I didn't even realize it. I loved the theme surrounding this book, I don't think human trafficking gets nearly enough attention it needs to get. It is a large problem all over the world and I wish there was more normal people could do to combat it. Until then...we have Trace.

Priss's character, while pretty cool, confused me often. I could never get a real read on her b More...

About:
Trace of Fever is the second book in Lori Foster's Men Who Walk the Edge of Honor series.
In this book we have hottie Trace Rivers working undercover as a bodyguard for a corrupt wealthy businessman named Murray Coburn. Coburns runs a human trafficking business and Trace wants to gain his trust so he can bring him down.
One day the beautiful and seemingly innocent Priscilla Patterson walks into Coburns place of business claiming to be his long lost daughter. Priss has an agenda of her own. More...

Is it possible for me to love two men? Yes, it is. I thought Dare from When You Dare was my favorite hero of all time but now I am torn. Trace is a to die for hottie with a very edgy side until he meets Priss and then all bets are off. My favorite parts of the book are when he can no longer contain himself with Priss. Trace is the kind of guy who is prepared NO MATTER WHAT, yet finds himself injured by little bitty Priss. I don't mean emotionally injured, I mean physically. That scene had me gig More...

Very Brief Synopsis - Trace Rivers is working to bring down a human trafficking network run by Murray Coburn. Priscilla Patterson shows up claiming to be Murray's daughter. Trace knows that there is more to Priss than meets the eye, and keeps her close to ensure her safety and to make sure she doesn't wreck his own plan to shut Murray's operation down.

Trace - a lot of Alpha goodness wrapped in a tense package. Priss makes his eye twitch, which, for some reason, just cracks me up! Trace is deter More...

Reviewer: Valerie

It’s cliché, but hubba, hubba...this book will get your motor revving. I didn’t read Book One in this series, When You Dare, but was thrilled to be able to review Book Two. I didn’t feel like I couldn’t catch on to the main story starting with book two, in fact, I understand what happened in book one and I’m dying to get my hands on it to read it now. Kudos to Ms. Foster for creating such memorable in-depth characters in this series!

Now on to the review part...Fireworks, firewor More...

This second book in The Edge of Honor series by Lori Foster is yet another satisfying read. This takes us into the life of Trace, mercenary partner with Dare from When You Dare. The love interest in this book is Priscilla, ‘Prissy’, who makes Trace’s current undercover job much more difficult than it had to be. Prissy is undercover herself but refuses to let Trace in on her whole agenda. Granted, Trace can’t let Prissy in either in order to keep his business with Dare secret and successful. Agai More...
