Reviewed by JoAnneBook provided by the publisher for reviewReview originally posted at Romancing the BookThis book had romance, love, tears, heartache, laughter, family and friends along with a happily ever after for Sin and Summer. They fought the chemistry all they could having been friends for 12 years and neither wanted their friendship or dynamics to change. But change they did and only for the better. Seeing them dance around each other and for those around them to realize the change in feelings before they realized it themselves was fun to watch. Sin and Summer were both workaholics and good in their fields but that didn’t deter them from being there for their friends and family and each other. How Sin handled his brother’s illness by standing by him and his brother’s family as well as the potential that he or his nephews could get sick was a testament to the caring man he was. I would love to have any of the main characters watching my back.A Dangerous Kiss is book 7 in the Grayson Friends series but I’ve only read books 6 and 7 so far. Now I need to go back and start at the beginning. I don’t want to miss a page of the friendships and love that were formed in earlier books. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and managed to finish it in one day. I kept turning the pages to see what would happen next and remained hooked. I look forward to reading more books by Ray and would love for this series to continue even though there was closure. She’s my kind of author!Favorite Quote: Now her entire attention was focused on him. Now she just wanted to comfort him.What man worth anything wouldn’t want to make such a caring woman’s life a little better? He just liked making her happy. The turmoil in him eased. His hands settled on her shoulders, felt the slight trembling beneath. Something inside him twisted. He’d done that to her. He’d caused her to worry unnecessarily. What happens when you’ve been friends so long that there is no other level of mere friendship? You fall in love of course! Payton “Sin” Sinclair and Summer Radcliffe have been friends for a very long time. Just friends. When love is happening all around them, Summer starts to recognize feelings that have always been just under the surface, but she was never willing to acknowledge. And those feelings are directed towards one of her dearest friends.The problem with trying to hide your feelings from a very good friend is they know you too well. Sin knows something is bothering Summer and makes it his personal mission to bring the smile back into her eyes, although he questions his obsession to do so. Why is it so important for him for Summer to be happy? Blinded by a personally tragic medical history, Sin knows the reason but has vowed to never allow this to happen to him. He can’t fall in love (or better yet, acknowledge the love he’s already had) because it just wouldn’t be fair.Tired of fighting the feeling, Summer, along with some convincing persuasion from her friends, decides to go after what she wants and in this case, it’s Sin. She is worried over the fleeting moments of haunting sadness in his eyes and is determined to get to the bottom of what is wrong with him. A good friend would help, right? After one dangerous kiss, all bets are off and Summer is on a mission to get her man.Sin can’t love Summer, he just can’t. Life with him holds no happy endings and he won’t do that to one of his dearest friends, but Summer is relentless. Ultimately, Sin has no choose but to do what his heart tells him.I love the Grayson’s and the Grayson friend’s stories. Sin and Summer’s story round out a trilogy of stories related to the series. Ms. Ray does a wonderful job introducing us to a couple that is struggling with a medical condition. In comparison to the other Grayson/Grayson Friends stories, this one falls in the middle. While I enjoyed the story, I expected just a little more from Sin. A little more “bad boy” from the king of sport consultants. Don’t get me wrong, Sin was sexy as, well, sin! So, it is definitely worth the read.The story flows well and it a great addition to the series, which I highly recommend. I look forward to see if Sin changes his mind on an interesting issue in the future and hope to see them along the way in future Grayson Friends novels. So, A Dangerous Kiss by Francis Ray gets 3.95 pencils out of 5 pencils, job well done!
