Where will life take them?
Both on the run but can they find their safe-haven in each other?
Dangerous is the first book that I have read by Piper Stone. What a great writer she is with such wonderful characters and a solid story-line.
Crystal and Blade are well developed characters and you can just picture them in this fast paced and dark story. There are a lot of emotions that come out over the course of reading this book so just be warned that you will be taken on a ride that may disturb you at time, elate you at others and everything in between.
Blade (aka Erik) is a Dom who had been an assassin for a Miami cartel “family” until one night when he would not kill. At that point he had a target on his back and a price on his head so he ran and ends up in Charleston. Crystal manages a bar in Charleston and is the ex of a local mob boss who is possessive and sadistic. She is trying to escape when some of her her ex’s gang associates threatens her at the bar. Crystal turns to Blade for help and he will use his “skills” to protect her. It turns out that as Blade is a Dom, Crystal is a sub. These two had explosive chemistry right from the start but in each they sensed there could be more. Blade realized that Crystal was in need of what a true Dom would provide her. Crystal wanted to be a sub and have a Dom that would protect and provide for her needs. Once they started down the road together there was no turning back and no one would ever harm her as long as Blade was alive. Their relationship was interesting to see grow as they were both hiding things, both running away from things, and both did not trust other people. So they have to get over a number of hurdles in order to get down to really trusting each other.
If Piper’s other books are written to the same level as Dangerous then I this will definitely not be the last one I read. I think she may get added to my “have to read” list.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Blade is disillusioned with his life with the Miami cartel he wants out, when he is order to kill an innocent woman and her child he knows its time to leave. He kills his best friend who is sent to kill him, takes his money and runs off on his motorcycle. He ends up in Charleston where he meets Crystal a feisty, submissive who is also on the run from another mafia guy. Together Blade and Crystal click with one look across the road. Their affair is hot and steamy with elements of power exchange and spankings. Liked the story.

Action, suspense and a hot romance!
This is my first book of Piper Stone’s and not my last. I love her main characters Crystal and Blade. They are well developed and completely believable within thee context of the story. The story flows at a fast pace and is engaging. Crystal is a woman on the run. She’s a no nonsense and self-reliant woman but when a gang threatens her, she needs some help. Erik, or Blade as he is called, is a very sexy, Alpha Dom. He says his heart is gone and that he’s a demon or monster. But he’s a hero you have a hard time not falling in with love and find that he has redeeming qualities. He is on the run from a ruthless Kingpin in a Miami, Florida “family.” Just want he needs to get caught up in another gang war but get involved he does! In between all this action and intrigue is a lot of spanking and domestic discipline and an HEA for the hero and heroine! I recommend this book.
An absolutely fantastic, compelling, and exciting fast pace read that is action-packed with violence, suspense, witty banter, humour, very erotic scenes, spanking, and intrigue. This is an on the edge of your seat page turner that is well-written with strong characters. The chemistry between the characters is intense and powerful; the sex scenes are hot, raw, and well written. A truly interesting read; definitely recommended.

ONE EXPLOSIVE ADVENTURE!!!
KA-BOOM Baby! A throng of startling circumstances and unforeseen events blast those churning emotions forward in this thrilling storyline and gripping plot. Struggling through all the trials and tribulations trying to stay one step ahead and running out of time. Twists and turns abound with a few glitches that propel this bad boy to life flawlessly. One non-stop action packed, fast paced, page flipping delight that keeps you riveted on a razors edge. Twixt and twined and stretched to unbelievable links until you feel everything the characters feel. The characters chemistry sizzles from the pages and suck you in so deeply until you feel the heat and electricity thrumming through your veins. The characters are genuine, tangible and realistic with such depth and qualities that blend and flow smoothly. The scenes are so vividly detailed and descriptive its paints a fantastic backdrop. Remarkable job Piper, thanks for sharing this bad boy with us.
I thought that this was a terrific read. Filled with intensity, darkness, suspense, heat, action, danger, powerful emotions, excitement and some D/s spankings, Blade and Crystal’s story grabbed my heart and my attention. It was very easy to connect with and feel for this pair. Their desire to move on and escape their pasts was challenged again and again. I loved the chemistry between these two and in my opinion the heat they generated could be felt through every scene they shared.
A long and dangerous journey
Blade may wear a scar on his face but the one on his soul is deeper and more painful.
A sacrifice made for love cost him all.
Crystal has run from evil but it seems she is a magnet for the darkness. A mafia leader, a local gang and now Blade…..
But darkness calls to darkness as they have both taken that journey and yet the dark doesn’t always mean evil. They both seek new beginnings and a salvation of sorts.
He is a dominant, and she finds peace in submission, pain and control, they balance each other perfectly.
There is a complete blend of action, danger, suspense, heat, chemistry, discipline, sex and love.
Second chances can happen, especially when the only forgiveness/redemption you need is from yourself.
Dangerous but not a monster
—>>> Blade is definitely dangerous but not a monster. He had just made a decision to leave the Sanchez Cartel in Miami far behind when his trust and morals were tested by his boss’ latest request. When his motorcycle breaks down in Charleston, he spies Crystal from across the street, but it is she who later comes to his motel for a much-anticipated steamy and hot one-time encounter.
Not expecting to see her mysterious bad-boy biker again, Blade appears at the bar Crystal manages soon thereafter, just in time to help her and her fellow employees out of a dangerous situation involving the local Desperados gang. But it looks like there is much more to these troublemakers, and suddenly it is difficult to know who to trust. Now, both are on the run, and Blade and Crystal realize just how well they fit together, but with the Cartel breathing down his neck, they might not even have a shot at any future together. Great action, drama, and HEA when Blade reclaims the parts of his soul he has lost with the woman he wants to make all his.
Loved this dark twisted romance!
This was a great story and I loved the characters. Blade decides to get out of his old life because it was becoming too much, especially when he was expected to kill an innocent woman. Crystal has secrets and she manages a bar in a small town where they have a gang problem. When she stands up to the gang Blade steps in to help. This is a great story with some sexy scenes and I highly recommend it!
