Rio Rafael is ready to make the biggest decision of his life after watching his best friend almost lose his mate to a crazy killer. He quickly realizes that his dangerous job keeps him from committing to a relationship with a woman he is destined to love. Rio is finally ready to entrust his heart to Cyn, whom he's had a no-strings-attached love affair with for awhile now. Unfortunately, convincing her that she too no longer wants that type of relationship is going to be an extreme challenge -- but he wants everything and he's ready to try anything.

Cyn, or rather Detective Sergeant Cynarra Malva, loves her job and the challenges it gives her, along with the exhilarating freedom it offers. She has the perfect life outside of her Tactical team, as well; her lover is perfect. He blows into town, stays a few days and disappears again on what she believes are black op assignments. His latest return comes at the ideal time; she is actually starting to miss the beautiful man. However, she is getting a strange feeling that this time is different. When he tells her he's looking for an apartment after taking time off, her future becomes unsure.

I have mixed feelings about this Kathleen Dante novel. For me, there just wasn't enough action and plot in the beginning. Even though ENDANGERED starts out somewhat slow, it picks up steam midway through with exciting flare. Dante is still an awesome writer, in my book.
