What do you give your beautiful wife when you’ve got all the money in the world but can’t spend it?

Victor “Drake” Drakovitch used to run a criminal empire, but he gave it all up for the woman he loves. Grace, an accomplished artist, abandoned the life she knew in order to be with the one man she could never live without.

Exiled to an island far from their former lives, the two stay safe from the watchful eyes of Drake’s many enemies. This Christmas, Drake wants to show Grace how much her sacrifice means. But what can he give a woman who shuns gold jewelry and diamonds, furs and expensive cars? Grace doesn’t want fancy things; she wants what Drake can give her—unquestioning devotion, fierce protection… and the best sex a woman has ever had.

Until terror strikes and Grace realizes that the best gift of all is a dangerous husband.

5.0 out of 5 stars I liked it !
Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2011

I don't usually post a review even though I do read them - sometimes they're helpful, other times I disagree entirely, but I want to put in my two penny's worth in favour of Lisa Marie Rice.
I've been buying her books for years now and I have enjoyed every one, more than once.
Okay, so Reckless Night is advertised as a novella, but I suspect this is not her fault but rather the publisher's.

The story itself is well crafted - as is Lisa Marie's wont, intriguing, and sexy.

I actually found it quite amusing to have a quick glimpse into the life of Grace and Drake after the "happily ever after" ending. It was fun, and a good way to reconnect with the characters.
I hope we'll get a similar glimpse into the "day after" of Midnight et al - I'd rather like to see these macho men dealing with a stroppy teenaged daughter's raging hormones.

I do agree that it would be a good idea if Amazon published a page count rather than file size as I've been caught out with other authors but in this case I wasn't really expecting a fully blown novel - just a little something to keep me going until the Protector series starts coming out.
Roll on february.

4.0 out of 5 stars Drake is one of those heroes that I would never ever forget
Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2012

For me, Drake is one of those heroes that I would never ever forget. Lisa Marie Rice has a way of spinning a tale that takes you on this beautiful journey which you never ever want to end. And the Dangerous is a series that is one of her best in my opinion. Dangerous Passion is the 3rd and final book published in the Dangerous series and now we have a beautiful little novella that takes place a bit earlier than the epilogue in the actual story.

Drake is not your typical hero and if you want to know why, I suggest you read the book because giving away who and what he is would just be spoiling things for you. And if you already like myself are a rabid fan of the series, you would need no further nudging from me to remember who Drake is.

Drake and Grace's novella too is focused on their happily ever after, bringing to light the changes that have taken place for both of them in their life together. Their love for each other is an all encompassing one and a beautiful one at that, and at times a scorching hot one too!

Lisa Marie Rice has done well in penning these novellas because if one isn't already a fan of the series, she definitely wets the reader's appetite to learn more. And for a fan like myself, I can't help but want to re-read the entire series and will continue to wonder when my beloved Nick Ireland would get his own little novella to cast me off into my dream world with him along for the ride.

Rating=4.5/5

5.0 out of 5 stars I Love This Story
Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2012

I loved this peak into Grace and Drakes married life, it fit in with the original story very well. The author's description of Drake's confusion, both over the fact that Grace loves him, and his difficulty choosing a Christmas gift is very endearing and the touch of humor at the end, was a great way to end this story. In addition, the price for a story of this length was very appropriate and I hope that future stories, of this length, from this publisher are priced this well.

2.0 out of 5 stars Too short...missing something
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2012
Verified Purchase
I enjoyed Dangerous Passion quite a lot and was wicked excited for this "sequel." Even with the less than stellar reviews, I dropped $.99 on the Kindle book and read the story in about 20 minutes. The book basically took place entirely from Drake's POV and I could have used a bit more from Grace. Small SPOILER: The end left LOTS to be desired and I feel cheated since the story sets up something and doesn't deliver.

Like other reviewers, I'm a bit confused by the timeline. This book takes place a year after Grace & Drake meet (?) but I thought the epilogue where she's pregnant took place a year later. Is this book before or after that? No mention of a baby...so what gives?

If you're like me and must read all LMR books, be prepared for a too short story with what feels like no follow through.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet Story -- but bad marketing
Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2011

Admitted huge LMR fan here - and as for the story - it is sweet and endearing - decent tie into the full book - but as for the marketing of this "novella" - PLEASE -

this should be marketed as a teaser item not really a novella - but I too blame the publisher not the writer on this issue

I liked the story - had an issue or 2 with the time line - but heck for such a short read I'll take that over how some authors are spending entire books rehashing how the hero and heroine met and/or lost each other over and over and over and over again (see a few recent Lora Leigh books for this one!!) -

Just read this for what it is - a few pages of Drake and Grace together -

1.0 out of 5 stars Not even worth 99 cents LMR shame on you

My first review, I was so happy when I realized that there was going to be a second part to the Drake and Grace story, I couldn't wait for it. I have read Dangerous Passion multiple times, always wanting more because of the ending. Now I wish I didn't read this short story. It did not pickup where the old story left off. In fact it started and ended before I knew it. On the Kindle pc, the beginning started at 4% and end at 64%, The rest was advertisements for Lisa Marie Rice's other books. I'm really starting to hate buying books online, just for this reason! (I'm using the term book very loosely) I've bought all of Lisa's paperbacks, why would I think it was going to be this short.

I hold Amazon and the Publisher responsible for my angry...ALL Product details on books should have a page count, without it I think this is away to cheat the consumer. You certainly can't go by the file size, they can change the font to increase the file size # to make you think its bigger then it was.

I love it. It so romantic and wonderful. Drake is so ruthless, except in his love for the heroine. I don'mind if he is not gorgeous, (for me a hero too homesome is actually a turn off) as long as he is alpha and possesive.

翻訳版『悲しみの夜が明けて』の続編です。幸せに終わったラストがあったので、幸せな生活の短編だろうと思ってたら、しっかり事件も起きてました。危機感のある事件ではないのでそんなにハラハラしませんが、短編らしく気軽に読めます。
『Hot Secrets』のレビューにも書きましたが、合わせて一冊の本として出してほしいなぁとおもいます。
