Micah Sloane knows almost everything there is to know about Risa Clay, including the vicious betrayal she endured years ago and the distrust she's harbored ever since. The only way for the Elite Ops agent to uncover an assassin - and banish the ghosts of his own dark past - is to use Risa as bait. But nothing has prepared him for her disarming blend of innocence and sensuality, or for his overwhelming need to protect her...Risa has spent six years rebuilding her life. And now, to save it, she must pose as Micah's lover and draw a killer into the open. It's a risky plan - especially with a man as powerfully seductive as Micah. But, as their charade becomes reality, Risa realizes the greatest danger may lie in losing her heart forever.

Format:Mass Market Paperback
The very First book that I read by Lora leigh was Dangerous Games the first in the Navy Seal series, and as I've gone on to read more by this author I have never yet been disappointed. This book is right up there with her best. Part of what LL does so well is lead the reader into the hearts and dreams of her characters, she enables us to enter a world of bleakness overcome by passion and love. The lead male Micha is very alpha but with a smidge of gentleness that endears the reader to him, and Rissa is a tormented woman coming to terms with the horrors of being betrayed by her father in a way most guaranteed to destroy a womans trust in men. This story has tension, betrayal, passion and moves at good pace. It also has LL's trademark red hot love scenes wich can be rather graphic and written in today's contemporary language, no purple prose here! This story will never be considered erudite reading but if you want a ripping good sexy tale this is it.
Maverick is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone, however I would recomend that you read the Navy Seals series and Wild Card the first in the Special Op's series as I feel that you will get more enjoyment from this book if you do. Buy it and enjoy.

This book has it all, romance, excitement, passion, danger, betrayal, more passion, killing, assassinations, its one for all those who enjoy a bit extra with the romance. The hero, Micah Steele, is pure alpha male (as is normal in Lora Leigh stories) he is Jewish, he was Mossad and is now in Elite Ops. The heroine, Risa Clay, who appears in a previous SEAL's novel, was traumatised and is still fragile. They join together to flush out a hired killer; he is using her as bait and looking for vengeance; she is trying to save herself. It's risky, it's dangerous, its sexy and its a great start to a new series from Lora Leigh. I found it an enthralling read, couldn't put it down, I think I appreciated it more because I had already read about Risa in a previous story so knew the background to her trauma before I started.

I loved this book - my usual reading material are the "paranormal romances" but lora leigh is an author that can tempt me away from those. This book follows Wild Card but can quite easily be read on its own.
The plot surrounds Micah Sloane as he and Risa Clay work together to flush out an assassin. Risa has been through hell and after many years of trying to rebuild her life the same man has put a contract out on her life. Micah has history with the assassin and is determined to end him but soon finds himself caring more about keeping Risa safe when the cover of posing as her lover becomes reality.
This book is amazing. There is constant action to keep the story moving along nicely, glimpses into the mind of the killer and i found myself pointing the finger at practically everyone as little by little more clues were revealed about the identity of both killer and his employer.
Anyone familiar with Leigh's books is well aware of the highly sexual nature of her books. Fair warning to those who are not - graphic sex scenes fill this book from start to finish. Normally i say i like a few steamy sex scenes but many authors are incapable of a decent plot and resort to sex to get by. Lora Leigh manages both and somehow i never find it too much in her books - just right.
[Can't resist making a sarcastic comment here; in the last month i finally cracked and read fifty shades of grey to shut up those of my friends who think it rocks (IT DOES NOT). I wish i could claw that absolute effing nonsense out of my brain. This is what a decent erotic novel is like.]

I am new to Lora Leigh but what a find! This is the 3rd book I have read of hers and I enjoyed it as much as the others. Micha and Risa are great characters and their story is very moving.

This was a great book if, like me, you like the bodyguard theme. Micah is alpha male and Lora Leigh is one of the best at delivering steamy scenes. I wasn't disappointed.

Lora Leigh delivers another fab book. The story is pitched just right between bit overboard & damn good romance. Believable relationship between Micah & Risa. Great follow on from Wild Card but also can stand alone. Just hope LL keeps on delivering
