Product Description

Micah Sloane knows almost everything there is to know about Risa Clay, including the vicious betrayal she endured years ago and the distrust she's harbored ever since. The only way for the Elite Ops agent to uncover an assassin - and banish the ghosts of his own dark past - is to use Risa as bait. But nothing has prepared him for her disarming blend of innocence and sensuality, or for his overwhelming need to protect her...Risa has spent six years rebuilding her life. And now, to save it, she must pose as Micah's lover and draw a killer into the open. It's a risky plan - especially with a man as powerfully seductive as Micah. But, as their charade becomes reality, Risa realizes the greatest danger may lie in losing her heart forever.

LL floats my boat!
The very First book that I read by Lora leigh was Dangerous Games the first in the Navy Seal series, and as I've gone on to read more by this author I have never yet been disappointed. This book is right up there with her best. Part of what LL does so well is lead the reader into the hearts and dreams of her characters, she enables us to enter a world of bleakness overcome by passion and love. The lead male Micha is very alpha but with a smidge of gentleness that endears the reader to him, and Rissa is a tormented woman coming to terms with the horrors of being betrayed by her father in a way most guaranteed to destroy a womans trust in men. This story has tension, betrayal, passion and moves at good pace. It also has LL's trademark red hot love scenes wich can be rather graphic and written in today's contemporary language, no purple prose here! This story will never be considered erudite reading but if you want a ripping good sexy tale this is it.

Maverick is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone, however I would recomend that you read the Navy Seals series and Wild Card the first in the Special Op's series as I feel that you will get more enjoyment from this book if you do. Buy it and enjoy.

A good read
I am new to Lora Leigh but what a find! This is the 3rd book I have read of hers and I enjoyed it as much as the others. Micha and Risa are great characters and their story is very moving.

Wow!
This book has it all, romance, excitement, passion, danger, betrayal, more passion, killing, assassinations, its one for all those who enjoy a bit extra with the romance. The hero, Micah Steele, is pure alpha male (as is normal in Lora Leigh stories) he is Jewish, he was Mossad and is now in Elite Ops. The heroine, Risa Clay, who appears in a previous SEAL's novel, was traumatised and is still fragile. They join together to flush out a hired killer; he is using her as bait and looking for vengeance; she is trying to save herself. It's risky, it's dangerous, its sexy and its a great start to a new series from Lora Leigh. I found it an enthralling read, couldn't put it down, I think I appreciated it more because I had already read about Risa in a previous story so knew the background to her trauma before I started.
