"Dan Stagg is a character I have come to love, hate, like, despise and--if some day author James Lear brings us another tale with him as the star--will likely vilify.
But not now.
This book is completely off-the-wall in virtually every respect--plot, characters, and most especially sex. There isn't a man in this book that Dan Stagg can't seem to keep his hands off. That's bth eye-brow raising (sometimes in an "oh, please") way, and other times in a way that you hope would please Dan enough to stop this fooling around and marry this guy or that guy or this other guy.
And, by the time you get to that point (which is not quite resolved), not only are you almost exhausted but also quite surprised.
Like all James Lear works, this one flew by without missing a beat. Let's hope Mr. Lear has more of this guy or comes up with a new one very soon."

In the Ring A Dan Stagg Mystery James Lear Books Reviews
- Apparently, Mr. Lear has lost his touch. The quality of writing and the story-line of this book are very poor and, completely implausible. Conclusion chapter is as if Mr. Lear couldn't think of anything else banal to write. In the past, Mr. Lear's books were not only titillating but interesting. This book, apparently written for a fast buck, has neither, and that's disappointing. The most ridiculous aspect of this book is the conclusion when he asks everyone to erase all disbelief and accept that a right wing group would attack a military base with a drugged up person in a car loaded with gay paraphernalia! Add to that, that Stagg would be drugged, locked up and left to die in a Queens, NY jail for a month! Lear's book, prior to this one was disappointing; this one is almost criminal and I've bought my last book from Mr. Lear!
- Dan is killed by a suicide bomber in Baghdad, or so the CIA would have you believe. After healing and rehab, Dan is sent to England with a new identity, to investigate a threat to the US from a boxing czar. He is given carte blanche in seducing whomever is necessary, and he proceeds to do just that. Although the new Greg Cooper has a heart of steel, the Dan Stagg deep inside falls in love with every one of his conquests, and vice versa. The ambiguity of his mission causes the story to lack tension, and his encounters with so many different young men robs the reader from bonding with any one in particular. On the whole, despite a weak ending, it is a quick, enjoyable read, just not as satisfying as the sexy previous installment, “Straight Up.â€
- Dan Stagg mysteries are different. Dan Stagg is a different. Dan Stagg is not like any investigator that I've read about so far. To him, sex is more than an integral part of life, it's integral to any investigation he is working. And Lear certainly knows how to develop that part of the story. This is novel is erotic, let me repeat that - this novel is erotic. It's also a mystery, and it's definitely interesting from the first page to the last.
The story, though simple in nature, developed at a fast pace as Dan infiltrated a boxing promotion scheme to flush out the corruption it hid. Lear continuously fed me the details to that corruption ring so I had to continue reading. And that was easy since Lear's writing style is enjoyable and effortless.
If you enjoy mystery laced with erotic scenes or maybe I should reverse that - If you enjoy erotic story lines laced with mystery, then In The Ring by James Lear will certainly give you plenty to enjoy. - Dan Stagg is a character I have come to love, hate, like, despise and--if some day author James Lear brings us another tale with him as the star--will likely vilify.
But not now.
This book is completely off-the-wall in virtually every respect--plot, characters, and most especially sex. There isn't a man in this book that Dan Stagg can't seem to keep his hands off. That's bth eye-brow raising (sometimes in an "oh, please") way, and other times in a way that you hope would please Dan enough to stop this fooling around and marry this guy or that guy or this other guy.
And, by the time you get to that point (which is not quite resolved), not only are you almost exhausted but also quite surprised.
Like all James Lear works, this one flew by without missing a beat. Let's hope Mr. Lear has more of this guy or comes up with a new one very soon. - I love the characters and ambiance of this novel, as well as all the other books by Lear. I always feel like I'm there and seeing and hearing everything in person. I usually do not like "cockiness" in a man, but Lear's characters are the exception. Very good.
- This book had me hooked from the beginning but never in a million years when I have guessed the ending . It played with my mind and I loved it
- I was absolutely thrilled when I saw James Lear was going to be releasing another Dan Stagg mystery, and In the Ring is everything I’d hoped it would be. If you’ve never delved into the dark and dirty world of James Lear you don’t know what you’re missing. Lear always provides a unique and intriguing mystery, a good dose of dry humor, and best of all the most hedonistic main characters I’ve ever read. In the Ring is the third book in this series and, taking into account the way Dan’s character evolves, I recommend reading them in order.
I’ll admit it, no interrogation techniques need be employed, Dan Stagg is this girl’s ultimate fantasy. Rough and crude and sexy; confident and strong and sexy; dominant and masculine and yep, you guessed, it SEXY. I can’t help it, there’s just something about a man who constantly assumes everyone wants to have sex with him… and they do! Dan Stagg can’t even step into the 7-Eleven without getting a Slurpee, if you know what I mean. I sure do hope there’s someone out there who’s actually living this guy’s sex life, god bless him!
In keeping with the story lines of the previous novels, Dan starts out at his absolute lowest point. This time he wakes up in a military hospital, seriously injured, and told his “death†has been made public so he can participate in a dangerous undercover op. True to form, this won’t get Dan down, at least not for long, because Uncle Sam has provided a hot-blooded, male nurse who is thoroughly vetted to speed his recovery.... Like I said, he can’t go anywhere!
Dan accepts the assignment, because why not? Once again he has nothing, and no one, to lose. Armed with what the US military describe as his “‘uniquely valuable’†skills (his sexual prowess and his ability to kill with his bare hands), Dan is ready to take on whatever challenges he might face. Terrorists, a prostitution ring, blackmail, and more, Dan infiltrates the group in question and proceeds to do what he does best.
The path to the climax of the story has everything that made me a fan of this series, but what really gets to me about Dan Stagg is his complexity. On the outside he’s this tough, macho Marine, but the sweetly vulnerable man underneath is so attractive, it hooked me from the very first novel. Dan projects the image of a hardened, heartless man and proclaims he has no morals. However, in all three books, when faced with lines he won’t cross, he puts himself in harm’s way to save others. Done as a first person narrative, we get his unfiltered thoughts and honest observations. Sometimes the bravado is so transparent I just want to wrap him in a hug and kiss it all better.
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the mysteries in each of the three Dan Stagg novels, and yes, there is an actual plot squeezed in between all the erotic sex! I hope the release of In the Ring signals many more publications to come from James Lear, and if you haven’t yet tried this wonderful author, pick up any one of his novels, I guarantee you’ll enjoy it. - Another excellent read from James Lear. I love the Dan Stagg series. Well-written, an intriguing story, and interesting characters.
