I really liked Dangerous Passion and was looking forward to seeing Drake and Grace again here in this short story, but I really have to wonder what LMR intended here with this story. It reads like an afterthought or even filler, like something to keep a fan occupied until the next novel.I was hoping to see this couple with a family, to maybe read a deeper epilogue, or have a feel-good type of final bit of news about Drake. I wanted something that felt like a sweet and sexy hug for him. Instead, we see that danger is still looking for Drake, no matter where he is. And maybe the last scene would have been exciting in a longer work, but here in this short story, it was unfulfilling, even ending the story very abruptly and disrupting my sense of happy closure for this couple.The download is 80 kindle pages, but the story ends on p. 46. Following the story are excerpts from Dangerous Passion, Dangerous Lover (Avon Red), and Dangerous Secrets (Avon Red). For me and even as a fan of LMR, this story was less than okay. It's not something I'd tell a friend she just had to read. In fact, even if you've read all this series, I can't honestly say that you'd be missing anything special by skipping this offering. It really adds nothing new or interesting or special to Drake's story. And that's sad because Drake was a pretty dynamic character.For me this story feels as if it were done just for the sake of it, done kind of half-heartedly and without any real purpose or thought. This short story did Drake, nor LMR for that matter, any justice. I'm really shaking my head on this one.
