Book Review, Giveaway: DANGEROUSLY DELICIOUS by Denise Swanson




DANGEROUSLY DELICIOUS 


by Denise Swanson






From New York Times best-selling author Denise Swanson comes DANGEROUSLY DELICIOUS, the second installment in her Delicious Love series. It takes one dedicated wildlife veterinarian, plus an impossibly handsome nightclub manager to prove that love always wins. Fans of Jill Shalvis, Bella Andre, and Susan Elizabeth Phillips will devour this sweet and sexy romance.



Synopsis:


Marco Thorne was hired by Club Wilde’s owner to open up the newest, most outrageous venue yet. He is absolutely certain that he can handle all the competition Las Vegas has to offer until his overbearing boss contracts with Lions and Tigers and More sanctuary to have live exotic animals present in the jungle-themed club. Still, he has no choice but to go along with his boss’s idiotic scheme, even if he thinks it’s the worst idea he’s ever heard.
Dr. Sage DeSantis’s entire life is devoted to keeping the animals under her care in the sanctuary healthy and happy. After the sanctuary’s owner announces that he’s renting out some of Sage’s babies to Club Wilde, she’s sickened that they will once again be exploited.


When Marco and Sage meet, the chemistry between them nearly knocks them off their feet. Although they both have experiences in their past that make them leery of love, and Sage is determined to guard her heart, Marco is all in. But will Marco be able to convince Sage to give them a chance?

Favorite Quotes:


You’re perfect. I like women with a little meat. Bones are for dogs.

By noon, she was ready to do something rash—like clean the bathrooms or iron the stack of clothes that had been sitting in the laundry basket for at least a couple of years.

He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth and the only cutlery in my parents’ house was stainless steel. He’s beef Wellington and I’m a microwave dinner.

Smokey needs to be tranq-ed so his handler can give him an enema. Apparently he hasn’t shit in the woods lately.



My Review:



I was drawn to the premise of this one and while the interesting ideas were all there and the storylines were easy to follow with hits of humor and sizzle, the execution was just not my cup of tea.  It wasn’t badly written, just a bit too tropey and for my taste.
