I'm not especially fond of Mafia Romance books, preferring to spend the time that I can read on more pleasant stories. However, I have read many of the author's other books, particularly the Second Chance series, to be willing to give this book a shot.

The storyline about the Mafia heir, Dominic Corsino, wanting to clean up his father's mess and creating something else is appealing as is his love interest, his little sister's best friend, Faith Hilliard. Ten years ago, I would have thought the idea of a family of FBI assassins as ludicrous, but after the shenanigans of some FBI agents over the last few years, maybe not. The story is an action packed page turner. I still don't care for the genre, but L P Dover, is the exception.

I read an ARC provided by NetGalley.com. This is my unbiased and voluntary review.

Dangerous Game is an action packed romantic thriller with leads Dominic a mafia boss, and Faith best friend of his sister, newly divorced from her cheating husband.
Having always had feelings for each other it does not take Dominic and Faith long to connect in many ways!
Dominic is running an illegal fight ring in the basement of his hotel and there is another mafia boss wanting to be to take over his empire. There is a lot going on in this story, with FBI assassin’s helping Dominic in his struggles.
Although it was pretty enjoyable belief has to be suspended to believe the FBI and Mafia could murder anyone they wanted.
Faith although strong character seemed to do some stupid things and also every time she saw someone she liked ‘squealed’ I did at times find her annoying.
That said a story that flowed well with plenty of action.
My thanks to net galley and publisher for the opportunity to review this book honestly.

L.P. Dover did such a fantastic job with Dangerous Game,

I thank the publisher and Netgalley for allowing me to read Dangerous Game in exchange for a review.

I haven't read the series connected to Dangerous Game since this is my first introduction to L. P. Dover as a writer and her worlds. I'm pretty happy with the book.

"When I am strong,
you're my favorite weakness
and when I'm weak
you are my greatest strength."

-Justin Blaney

Faith is a fierce, intelligent, and appraised attorney who is in the process of divorcing her partner who cheated on her. Not only he was her husband but her co-partner of a firm she built from the grown in a field where men are crows. When she steps into court for the hearing, things that happen aren't what she expected. Right there, she realizes her ex isn't only a cheater but a liar. What comes after that wasn't what she expected, but in the end, she cant' say it wasn't worth it all.

Dominic is now the head of the Corsino family. After his father's suicide -to escape from the law-, he starts changing how everything works around. Of course, Dominic is the head of the most prominent family mafia in New York, but after his father dead the numbers lowered down, leaving him open to attack. That's why he decided to change, work harder, and with honor, not that's something people out of the mafia circle would understand.

But when life gives him a second chance in love, he takes it by the hand. There's apparent fear and weakness for somebody with blood on his hands, but love is something he isn't used to getting.

Trust and communication are two keywords that Faith and Dominic will learn throughout the time they spend together. They're not afraid of loving each other, and that's all they need to start working on themselves. Would tragic situation damage what they have? Are secrets going to keep them apart?

I can't wait for everyone to enjoy this book as much as I did.

As a reader I wish I had read the series Dangerous Game is connected to this book to have a better idea about the characters and backstory. I wasn't expecting this book to be as light and fun after reading the synopsis. The story is two from two different points of review . Readers will know what is going on at all times.

The characters are just different enough to set itself apart from other books in this genre.

Thank you from netgalley for a copy of L.P Dover Dangerous Game

This is kind of a new genre to me - anti-mafia romance! I'm not a lover of Mafia type stories so this really intrigued me.

Dominic has taken over the "family" in the aftermath of the death of his father and uncle. He's determined to make them legit but at the same time secure their businesses from the remaining hardline mafia families. He does have another little problem to deal with - his attraction to his sister's best friend. He was aware that the attraction was mutual but his sister didn't want to mix Faith into the family business, especially when they were trying to leave it behind themselves!

Faith is living a cliched nightmare. She caught her husband banging the new hire at work - the firm they both started! When he pulls a fast one and leaves her with nothing she has to rely on the generosity of her bestie and her brother. But will the offer of a new job with Dominic solve her problems or add to them??

I have to admit I loved Dom's approach to Faith's husband when he first meets him. I expected the slime ball to wee himself! He ties himself in knots occasionally straddling the line of "the Family" and his family. Faith is never a damsel in distress just a woman with a wrinkle or two to solve but she's never too proud to accept help. She sees her flaws and embraces them.

I hadn't read any of the Circle of Justice series and I'm going to correct that ASAP - FBI assassins have got my attention.

I don’t know how she does it, but this story is even better then Layla's (which I loved so much!).
Dominic is Layla's brother and Faith is her best friend. You don’t have to have read Layla's story though - this one can be read all on its own. I just wanted to give you a little background. This is why these two are able to jump into everything so quick - they already have a solid foundation of friendship/

Faith is in the process of getting divorced from her cheating husband when she gets some news that even her lawyer, Layla, can't protect her from. Next thing you know, she is living in Dominic's hotel. Dominic has always been attracted to Faith and has always wanted her. And now's his chance. Maybe?!?! Hopefully?!?!? Guess you will need to read this one to find out. Fingers crossed for Dominic, right???

These two have amazing chemistry! And I will admit, I thought this would be your typical mafia man and innocent woman story. And I would have been okay with that since I love them. But this one had a little something special. Something I wasn’t anticipating. Something I am not telling you about.
I highly recommend you try this one out!
You will not be disappointed!
This is a great story to start off with if you are new to L.P. Dover.

Dangerous Game is wicked, sexy thrill ride! Dominic Corsino is a power hungry man, that knows exactly what he wants and he gets it. Except for this girl he always pushed away, Faith. He always wanted her but didn't want to corrupt her with his intense world. However when she needs help the two are pushed together once again. Temptations arise and their worlds twist together in a dark sexy ride. I love this book! I could not put it down once I started it!
