Why I Read this Book: The Adrenaline Highs series is on my auto-read list. I really hope Dee J. Adams continues writing this series.What I Liked: Julie was a very likable celebrity character. She was not full of herself or conceded and she did not flaunt her celebrity status. She was a nice, well-respected, and very grounded person. She was also very perceptive, especially when it came to Troy, and I liked that things didn't go right over her head. She was smart enough to figure out that something was going on.Troy was an interesting character. I enjoyed watching his character grow. His past was a troubling one, full of sorrow, pain, and confliction. There was a very interesting twist there that caught me completely off guard, even though there were a few clues.The mystery regarding who the villain turned out to be wasn't too surprising but there was enough going on to keep things interesting.What I Didn't Like: Living Dangerously was fast-paced in the first half of the book but loss a bit of momentum at about the halfway mark. The lull was enough that I put down the book and it was days before I picked it back up again. But the pace picked back up again at about the 70-75% mark and I was unable to put down the book from that point on.I wanted more closure where the villain was concerned.Overall Impression: Living Dangerously was a great celeb/commoner love story and a good blend of romance and suspense, with it being favored a little more on the romance side. I can only hope that the author continues writing this series, and that the next book is Abbey's.
