Dangerous Ground

review 1: Things are not getting easier for Taylor and Will. In Blood Heat, they are working together again, as much in love as they were before, but problems seem to spring up everywhere they go. On chasing a runaway suspected terrorist, they are attacked by an unscrupulous bounty hunter, trapped in a flash flood which almost kills them both, and hunted by two professional marksmen working for the Russian mob. On top of all this, when they finally manage to get hold of the fugitive, she is very pregnant… and about to give birth. All this produces an action packed really interesting story. But Lanyon being Lanyon, there is another whole story behind the action, that which deals with the feelings and emotions of both characters. And it is here where Lanyon is at his best.Will and T... moreaylor are having problems. Their feelings for each other keep interfering with their job. Will’s protective instinct goes into overdrive whenever Taylor is threatened, and that’s why he sometimes makes the wrong decisions. This is bad for their job as partners, and also for their relationship, as Taylor doesn’t like to feel Will’s overprotection. But the main problem is that Will has been offered a job in Paris, a very good position implying promotion and… two years away from home. Though he doesn’t know it yet, and keeps telling Taylor that he is still considering it, Taylor knows he has already made his mind, as he says “Will had been making more of these physical gestures lately. It was one reason Taylor was pretty sure Will was taking the Paris job, even if he didn’t know it himself yet”Taylor’s feelings about it are eating him alive. He tries to hide it and pretend to be happy for Will, but he feels betrayed and abandoned. Above all is the fact that Taylor would have renounced to a position abroad in order to be with Will. It is Taylor’s fears and insecurities what are killing him inside. At the end, when they are safe and sound, and Will recognizes that he is taking the job, they cling to the hope that they will survive the distance… but, will they? I am not that sure. I love the way Lanyon depicts his characters, how easy it is to feel what they feel. I can understand the anguish of Will and Taylor, one forced to make a really difficult decision, while the other is forced to witness his lover’s departure… Trying to keep his dignity and heart intact. So good. I can’t wait to meet them in Paris… or wherever they are meeting next.
review 2: 3.5 starsBook 3 of the Dangerous Ground series and we're chugging right along with our boys Will and Taylor. I found this one a little slow and the story didn't keep me entirely interested. These books all feel like the "junior varsity" version of the Cut & Run series, and Will & Taylor the little brother versions of Ty & Zane. It's kind of like a decent 30 minute tv show where C&R is one of those great hour long favorites.Still, the new plot twist of Will's pending promotion brought some much wanted tenderness and relationship drama and infused just enough emotion into the brief read. I'm rooting for the 2 of them as the series concludes in the next book (though w/ Josh Lanyon series, it will mostly just end in some random "..." kind of way) less
