Why is it that Kieran Finnegan cannot stay out of trouble? It's not that the criminal psychologist looks for it nor does she want to play A DANGEROUS GAME, but it finds her. Finishing up a day at work, a woman shows up, shoves a baby in her arms and runs. The woman is murdered in the street moments later, and once again Kieran is drawn into danger.
Long-suffering special agent and boyfriend Craig Fraiser does what he has to do. He gets the F.B.I involved and tries to keep his girl out of it. But Craig knows the Finnegan's and knows she can't help but be involved, no matter how hard she tries. A clue comes through to the family pub, and Kieran can't help herself, she has to have answers ... for the woman, the baby and the baby's mother, who might still be out there and in danger.
A DANGEROUS GAME takes us back into the New York Finnegan's world. It is action packed, frightening and with a number of twists that only author Heather Graham can come up with. This is a storyline right out of the newspapers of today where evil takes advantage of the innocent for profit. I love the Finnegan family as they are there for each other in everything they do, they might not agree with what the other is doing, but they will back them. I also have felt a little sorry for Craig, because Kieran is one of those who sees trouble and instead of running, she is ready to face the mystery and find the truth. Their romance does manage to keep going and get stronger ... even a little talk of living together and marriage comes out between the danger and bad things happening.
I have always enjoyed Ms. Graham's way of sending her readers on little rides one way only to give a sudden turn, and we find something completely different in front of us. She keeps us guessing, and in this one, I was completely thrown by who the bad guys were. But I did get a chuckle when I read how the culprit was apprehended and you will have to read A DANGEROUS GAME to find out the answer to that one.
If you want danger, mystery, family, a sweet yet steamy romance then get your hands on A DANGEROUS GAME and enjoy the ride.
