He is! Have you read any of Estep's books, Danielle?

Kristina Taylor farrell | 37 comments I'm in for this challenge and I think 40 sounds like a good number.

I am gonna start it off with The Darkest Kiss by Gena Showalter.

I've read the first book. I liked it. Most of them are in the pile.

The first book was great although I didn't like the hero - he made my hand itch to smack him. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series when you get to it.

Thanks. Donovan was pretty self-righteous, so I understand what you mean.

MaryReadsRomance (Mary_Reads) | 37 comments I am in for 25 (but will likely do more). Will meet 12 just by rereading The Black Dagger Brotherhood series and the new #12 The King due out soon :)
My shelf will be 2014-dangerous-hero-challenge

Thanks

Lauren (laurenjberman) Read and enjoyed a couple more dangerous hero books:

If You Deceive (MacCarrick Brothers, #3) by Kresley Cole - Ethan MacCarrick - scarred both physically and emotionally, a dangerous agent for a covert organization.

Hide from Evil (Dead Wrong, #2) by Jami Alden - Sean Flynn - decorated solider, ex-con, wrongly convicted of murder, just wants to get on with his life but the bad guys have other plans.

Okay. I'll change it on the list. Thanks!


message 62: by [deleted user] (new)

Me too Danielle, I upped mine up to 50. I have met quite a few yummy dangerous heroes this year. :)

Nicole (nicolels) I want to try this challenge, I'm going to start with 25 books :)

I made the change, Marta, and added you, Nicole.


message 65: by Lauren (new)

Lauren (laurenjberman) Finished a few more books with dangerous heroes:

Reaver (Lords of Deliverance, #5; Demonica, #10) by Larissa Ione - gotta love an angel not afraid to break the rules and defy authority

MacRieve (Immortals After Dark, #13) by Kresley Cole - unfortunately, I did not like MacRieve's characters. He's such an obnoxious jerk for most of the book :0(

Thief of Shadows (Maiden Lane, #4) by Elizabeth Hoyt - I'm conflicted on whether or not Winter can be classified as a dangerous hero. His day job is so mundane but once the sun sets it danger and excitement all the time.


message 66: by Danielle The Book Huntress , Loves 'Em Lethal (new)

 Danielle The Book Huntress  (gatadelafuente) | 9851 comments Mod
I would consider Winter a dangerous hero, if that helps.


message 67: by Lauren (new)

Lauren (laurenjberman) Thanks Danielle. I think so too :0)


message 68: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (daughterofoak) I want to try this out. I'll start with 25 books.


message 69: by Raine (last edited Mar 31, 2014 09:04AM) (new)

Raine (raine_renner) | 22 comments I completely forgot to state on this thread (I've already started reading books for this challenge, yay!), but I am going to go for 300 books this year.


message 70: by Lauren (new)

Lauren (laurenjberman) Thorn Queen (Dark Swan, #2) by Richelle Mead - this one has two dangerous heroes. One is Machiavellian but honest and the other is a manipulative shmuck! I really don't know what the heroine sees in him *sigh*

Fifth Grave Past the Light (Charley Davidson, #5) by Darynda Jones - Reyes Alexander Farrow - enough said ;0)

✿ Natalie ✿ | 428 comments Sorry if somebody's already asked this but who is the guy in cool picture for this challenge? Is it from a book cover? Just wondering as must be living in la-la land as I totally didn't notice the image before now that's beside the challenge (how many books have been read etc) info!!

And on the challenge subject, I am amazed at how many books containing dangerous heroes I actually read. Had no idea it was so many! Not that im complaining mind you lol ;-) think I will soon need to up my challenge (again).

✿ Natalie ✿ | 428 comments I've now completed my challenge, yay! Alot of fun. Thanks for running it :-)
I seem read more books with Dangerous heroes in than I realised lol as it's only halfway through the year! I'll see how many more Dangerous Heroes i can squeeze in for 2014 - shouldn't be too difficult ;-)

I've read lots of good Dangerous heroes this year but my favourites have to be the 6 Fever books by Karen Marie Moning and the first 2 books of the 'FantasyLand' series by Kristen Ashley.

Fever series beginning with Darkfever (Fever, #1) by Karen Marie Moning
And Wildest Dreams (Fantasyland, #1) by Kristen Ashley The Golden Dynasty (Fantasyland, #2) by Kristen Ashley

Congratulations, Kristina!


message 98: by Lura (new)

Lura (luraj2612) | 6 comments I went to check how many books I had read for this challenge and was disappointed by the 18 (out of thirty) I'd read. But then I went to look at the books themselves and realized I'd left out a bunch of books. So, I HAVE finished the challenge. And I should set a higher goal for next year. I've read 43 books that count towards the challenge. And I still have three books checked out of the library (unread) that will qualify. ^_^
