Well Naz and Eva are back and have picked up where they left us hanging in Dangerous Beauty. This book is not a standalone and this trilogy must be read in order. Because this trilogy is a romantic suspense my review will be quite vague otherwise it will spoil your reading experience. Eva left to protect Naz and in doing so a new player is added to the mix of suspense and intrigue. Naz only wants one thing, to get Eva back and he will do so by any means possible. What I enjoy about these books is that even during the tension of the story there are a lot of lighthearted moments between Naz, Eva and the cast of characters. The silly banter lightens the tension of the reality of their story. Prepare yourself that this isn’t the end of Eva and Naz’s journey and I see troubled water for them both on the horizon. As with the first book, it’s told from dual POV and is full of action, intrigue, suspense, laughs, heat and every emotion imaginable. I cannot wait to read the conclusion to this action packed trilogy!
Oh my gosh! This author has done it again! She pulled me so deep into this story I wasn’t even aware of my own surroundings! The drama, the suspense, the build up was incredible!
This picks up right where Dangerous Beauty left off. What follows is a chaotic unfolding of danger and drama as Eva fights to protect herself. Her innate ability to read people helps her to discern the murky character that holds her captive but fails her when it comes to another. There are some intense scenes so surprising, as well as shocking, that I found myself mentally looking around every corner afterwards.
Naz is left scrambling to figure out what is going on and in the process we’re given some amazing images of how is mind works when it comes to protecting Eva. It’s the kind of stuff that’s my bread and jam. I loved his protective mindset.
”Tell him if Eva’s in anything other than perfect health when I get there, I’ll cut off his arms and legs and hang him on the wall and name him Art. And then I’ll kill his entire family, all his friends, his pets, and everyone he’s ever worked with. And then I’ll burn down his house and take a rocket launcher to that f—ing ship and send it to the bottom of the ocean with him lashed to the mast, and his bloody stumps will attract all kinds of hungry sea creatures who will eat his god—mn guts out and lay their eggs inside his skull and gnaw on his bones. And then I’ll drag up his picked-over carcass and cremate it and make urinal cakes form his ashes and p!ss on his remains every day for the rest of my life.”
And when this couple finally find a place of temporary peace, it was beautiful! They are just so good together, each emotionally healing the other. I loved knowing right here and now that they were meant to be together.
”I love her so much in this moment, everything I was before is incinerated. I came into this room one man, but I know I’ll emerge from it another, a baptism of love so hot it’s a fire that scorches me to the bone and leaves whatever I was before a smoking pile of ashes to be blown away by the wind.”
Like the first book, we have the fun banter between Naz and Eva. Their constant teasing was a soothing balm to the danger that surrounded them. It’s a constant roller coaster ride of wit, deep emotion, and the horrors they face. What was already an amazing series was pushed into the stratosphere when the Killian element was introduced. I’ll leave that plotline alone since I don’t want to spoiler it more than to say…scary, sexy, fun, interesting…more please?
This has a fast pace to it. Once you start, you will not want to stop. The rhythm is wicked fast with sharp edges to keep you on your toes. And then…bam! Yep, cliffhanger. At least this time I knew it was coming. But gah! Now I’ve gotta wait for book 3!
In this second installment of the series, Eva slips away while Naz is in the hospital recovering from the explosion. She’s made a deal with Dimitri, she’ll return to him in exchange to save Naz’s life. When Eva makes it to the pickup point, she quickly realizes that she’s made a terrible mistake and stepped on to the wrong ship. Now she’s being held captive by Killian and being used as a pawn against Dimitri. When Naz wakes up and figures out what’s happened, he starts his search for Eva.
My words are not going to adequately describe the feelings this book gave me but I’ll try. Eva, my heart was so shattered when she left Naz to save his life, especially knowing what she was going back to. I love Naz, I loved him as Barney in the Bad Habit books, and am so glad he got his own. I adore their banter, their attempt to keep things light when they start to get too heavy. I honestly wanted to stop reading at 70% because everything was good and happy, and I knew it wouldn’t last. I’m continuously surprised by JT Geissinger’s ability to make me laugh during dark, heavy books, but I usually do. I absolutely hate that I love Killian. There’s something beautiful and tragic about him that just draws me in. His concern and care for Eva, it’s getting a little triangle-y, and I’m nervous either Naz or Killian will die in the third book. Please don’t kill them. Not sure how I’ll make it to November waiting for the third book, I’m counting down the days. I 1000% recommend this series, but if cliffhangers aren’t your thing, you might want to wait until November.
I felt like J.T. was holding my heart in her hand the entire way through this book. Between the weighty chemistry bouncing between the characters, the relentless tension, and the inevitability of what was to come, she created the perfect culmination of chaos. To top it off, Geissinger added this marvelous mix of humor into the narrative that eased some of the more serious moments and entangled the readers with the cast even further. A word of caution for those expecting resolution; J.T. is not done toying with the us and ends Dangerous Desires on a substantial cliffhanger. Fantastic read!
Thank you to #NetGalley for this ARC of #Dangerous Desires
