Arianna Fraser's Perilous, the third book in her Ares Academy series, lives up to and more to the previous books in this series and will leave readers begging for more!

Mala Chandler spy master in training was one tough lady on the outside with a romantic heart underneath it all. Her ability to be independent and not dissolve into a fainting mess was great to see play out as she took on threats that came her way conquering them with her skill and smarts. Cormac MacTavish was as alpha swoony as it gets without devolving into a grunting caveman bringing substance to his relationship with Mala and the story as a whole. He was someone who you wanted to be on their good side and seemingly could handle the impossible with his exceptional expertise.

As couples go Mala and Cormac were well suited. Easily and believably bridging their age gap their mutual caring and respect went a long way in solidifying them as a well devised pair. The secret taboo aspect of their relationship heighted the excitement of their bond and will leave readers invested in them as a couple. Mala and Cormac's attraction simply put was fire with the perfect amount of kink and romance!

Arianna Fraser is unrepentant and fearless in revealing the wicked side of her portrayals embracing her antiheroes and their dark inclinations. Her heroines are feisty and smart, far from victims, as they go toe to toe with their antiheroes who are ruthless by nature but have the ability to love deeply. It cannot be emphasized enough what a great job this author does of overlapping her series books without making her audience feel like they are reading the same story again. Her ability to keep her readers on the edge of their seats always takes front and center. In this writer's works readers can always be assured that there is never a shortage of action and great chemistry between her characters. Arianna Fraser's Perilous is just the dose of adrenaline you never knew you needed!

*While this story can be read as a standalone, reading the previous book in this series would enhance the overall reading experience of this work.*
