The author of Flirting with Scandal presents her third book in a sexy contemporary romance series about three sisters in a powerful political family, the scandals that threaten to destroy them, and the passion that drives them…
Kate Reynolds has just graduated from college and is determined to make it on her own. Her job as a junior political analyst at the CIA is a dream come true and the perfect opportunity to find answers about the night that’s plagued her for four years—the night she lost her fiancé, Matt, on a Special Forces mission in Afghanistan. Kate’s consumed with uncovering the truth and avenging the man she loved and lost, even if it means risking her own life to prove that his death wasn’t an accident.
When she gets too close to discovering what happened that fateful night and danger arrives on her doorstep, Kate’s stunned by the man who comes to her rescue. Together, they begin to dig for the truth, fighting to stay alive as they’re dragged down into a world of secrets and lies. But when the threat hits close to home, Kate must choose between vengeance and a future with the man who’s ignited a fire inside her that she thought died long ago.
My Rating:
Favorite Quotes:
“It was like
staring at his reflection in a carnival mirror – the image before me was Matt
and yet it wasn’t – he’d been distorted into something else entirely.”
“She wasn’t
loud by nature, and frequently people assumed that meant she was shy and
thought they could walk all over her, but the reality was that Blair was way
bossier than I was. She was just quiet
about it, whereas I wasn’t quiet about much.”
“We dined on a
main course of death, treason, and betrayal.
For dessert, we had explosives and attempted filicide.”
“In the years
when I’d thought Matt was dead, I’d learned that home wasn’t a place and family
wasn’t a last name. All that mattered
were the people that loved you.”
My Review:
I had greatly
enjoyed Ms. Cleeton’s Playing With
Trouble, but I struggled to stay engaged with this installment. I found Falling
for Danger rather slow-moving, and it felt like the characters were metaphorically
running in place or swimming in circles.
Maybe it is just me, but it seemed like the series simply ran out of
energy as the Capital Confessions trilogy came to a conclusion. Or maybe it was the ending and lack of actual
closure that has me feeling this way.
Not to say that the finished product was unpleasant or lackluster, as
that is not the case. Ms. Cleeton’s use
of humor and flair for steam continue to shine through, just not as brightly as
in her earlier work.

Blurb:
The author of Flirting with Scandal presents her second book in a sexy contemporary romance series about three sisters in a powerful political family, the scandals that threaten to destroy them, and the passion that drives them…The daughter of one of the Senate's most powerful figures, Blair Reynolds was ready to become the ultimate political wife—until she caught her fiancé cheating on her wedding day. Law school is a fresh start, her shot at putting the pieces of her life back together. That’s the plan, at least. Until trouble comes in the form of her Torts professor, the man whose arrogance infuriates her in class but haunts her private fantasies.
Graydon Canter had a fortune and a place on all the hottest "Thirty under Thirty” lists, until a series of personal missteps nearly destroyed his career. A year teaching at a D.C. law school is just the break he needs to get his life back in order, as long as nothing—and no one—trips him up.
When Blair and Gray are forced to work together, their explosive attraction becomes impossible to resist. But Gray’s demons have drawn him dangerously close to the edge, and Blair has spent her life playing by the rules. Will she break them for a shot at love?
