Wow this book was so good! It was intense and I love Eva & Naz even more!!! Eva is willing to sacrifice everything to keep Naz safe and that includes going back to the man she despises. Naz realizes what Eva has done but is having trouble finding her. The story is complex and suspenseful and I love Killian and how his character evolved. Eva & Naz have such an amazing relationship including fun banter. Of course there is another mind blown cliff hanger which makes me just want the last book that much sooner!!!! A definite one click for this series.
Oh my!!! Things really heat up in this second book of the Dangerous Beauty series.
As Eva does what she thinks is best in order to protect Naz, we meet some new players in the game who will add even more mystery and intrigue to the situation.
The cat and mouse game with Dimitri comes to a head just as this second book ends.
THIS IS A CLIFFHANGER. I can’t wait to read the third and final book in the series to see what happens!!!
4.5 Stars!
Dangerous Desires picks up right where Dangerous Beauty left off and totally hits the ground running. And let me tell you, this author leaves no stone unturned. You think you have an idea of where this story is going to go, but I promise you, you don’t. When it comes to Naz, there is no limit as to how far Eva will got to keep him safe; even if that means putting her own life in danger. But what Eva, doesn’t know is that she has entered the most dangerous game of cat and mouse that she’s ever played. The stakes are higher than ever and Eva and Naz will be tested in ways they can’t begin to imagine. Will love prevail and save the day??? There’s only one way to find out….
Dangerous Desires was a quick and thrilling read for me. There was no way that I could not devour this story. I mean these characters sucked me in instantly and held me captive the entire time. Once again, I am blown away by the devotion and love that Naz and Eva have for one another. Some may say that love will make you weaker, but when it comes to these two, their love only makes them stronger. As long as they can keep the faith, their is nothing that they can’t make it through.
Dangerous Desires was everything I could want and need in a romantic suspense. There was danger and mystery. There were moments that shocked you and moments that thrilled you. There was romance, steam, and of course swoon. Like I said, Dangerous Desires had it all. This book kept me on my toes from the very first page, right down to the very last. My only complaint is that the story is over and I need to know what happens next!!!
I had been dying for this story since the minute I finished Dangerous Beauty, book 1 in the trilogy.
I cannot tell you how much turmoil I had inside of me because I became addicted to the characters and to the emotions their story evoked in me. I needed to know what was going to happen next. So, when I finally got my hands into this beauty you bet your life I was more than excited. It was everything I wanted it to be and more. It added more layers to the characters, their pasts and to the persistent danger that hangs over their heads.
Dangerous Desires consumed me, and I gladly let it, because, is not everyday you find yourself in the middle of a story, not just reading it, but living it and feeling it, as well. It kept me on the edge of my seat, wondering, how and when, darkness was going to get to them, and how would they manage. Naz and Eva sure made my heart beat faster and, as always, took my breath away, with their devotion for one another. And as if it wasn’t enough we have a new character that I completely fell in love with even though I shouldn’t because at the same time I hate him, but it was just imposible to resist him.
Suspenseful, exciting and addictive.
I have to say this book had me on the edge of my seat. It was a nail biter but I love it. I highly recommend reading this book. Adding new characters to this book was good and getting to know about them. I don’t want to give too much away. Just need to go read it. When reading about her being on the boat and the waves rocking it, I could picture it. It was so surreal even parts throughout the book as well. I do have to say Naz and Eva’s relationship was tested and can’t wait to read the next book. I need to know what happens. I didn’t want the book to end. It ends on a cliffhanger. I want their relationship to survive this. They are so good for one another. Another great read J.T. Geissinger. Love reading your books.
Noooo!!! Oh My Gosh!! The author pulled out all the stops with this series! She’s killing me here. That ending. Goodness gracious, I’m not sure my heart can take the wait time until Book 3 releases.
Dangerous Desires is Book 2 of the Dangerous Beauty series. Since this story picks up right where Book 1 left off, it is an absolute requirement to read these in order or you will be utterly clueless.
Eva and Naz (aka Barney) are as amazing as ever and now we have Killian in the mix. Wowza! This story was filled to the brim with action, intense moments and even some hilarity (measuring tape comment!). I’m looking forward to conclusion to this series!
Part two of this trilogy, Dangerous Desires, starts immediately following the second book. This means Eva has left Naz behind in order to keep him safe from her controlling and all around horrible villain of an ex-boyfriend. She goes to meet the ex and things are not what they seem in any way shape or form. Meanwhile Naz, still very much recovering in the hospital from many injuries, is going ballistic. He leaves the hospital in search of Eva. It would seem that Eva, while trying to shield Naz, has only managed to take them both out of the frying pan and straight into the fire. A new opponent is introduced by the name of Killian. He more than covers his share of intrigue and violence. He was also the twist that ramped up this book immensely. Since this book takes place on a boat a big part of the time, there was plenty of high seas drama as well as on land drama. And while there’s plenty of apart time for the couple this time around, when they do get together it’s explosive.
The characters of Eva and Naz, (aka Barney from Geissinger’s Bad Habit series) are both fully realized by the author. Eva has been through so much and has been traumatized for years by her ex and truly deserves to find a good man. She finds that in Naz, a former bodyguard, now a lethal agent working for Conner from this author’s Wicked Games series. I love how she has included characters from her other series. Naz, as well as Conner, has the credentials to keep Eva safe, but she decides to do what she thinks is right in protecting Naz instead. Kinda wanted to shake her for this-not going to lie. Tabby, from Wicked Games, is also along for the ride and I loved catching up with her as well. Killian was a problem for me. He will make you extremely mad, but ultimately I found myself hoping for him to have his own book. He seriously needs one!
The romance between Eva and Naz, of course, ramps up in this installment. There’s something to be said for romance and sensual times during extreme danger or distress and Eva and Naz were definitely up for the challenge. They do have off the charts chemistry and banter for days as well. Geissinger does banter like Santa does Christmas. She is in her element when writing banter that’s for sure!
This book does end in another cliffhanger which really couldn’t be helped due to the circumstances the characters are in. I didn’t have as big of a problem this time since I knew what was coming. I am really looking forward to the final book in November. If you dislike cliffhangers you might want to wait until then to pick up this series. They do go in order and can’t standalone so keep that in mind. I highly recommend this series and book to adult romantic suspense readers and romance readers in general. It was such a good book and kept me enthralled throughout. This author continues to amaze me with her wonderful writing and storytelling skills.
Dangerous Desires picks up right where the first book in the trilogy ended so you don’t miss a second of the action.
Naz and Eva’s story reminded me a bit of the TV show Alias with all the romance, action, and intrigue. There are new characters and layers to the story introduced. Though the basic plot of Naz trying to keep Eva safe from Dimitri carry through from book one, the story is by no means boring or overly repetitive.
The story moves at a fast pace and I read the book in less than a day. You definitely need to read Dangerous Beauty first before picking this one up.
Thank you to the author for providing an ARC for an honest review.
I very much enjoyed the first book in this series, Dangerous Beauty, well except for that cliffy at the end…didn’t much enjoy that 😛
So I am glad we finally got to see what happens next, waiting is not really my strong suit. I am not gonna share too much about it though, because I really don’t want to spoiler it for anyone else.
What I can say is that I absolutely loved this second book…maybe even a tad bit more than the first. Which might be because of a new mysteriously awesome character I was introduced to 😛
No worries though… I am still deeply in love with Naz, he is so swoon-worthy.
I spend a major part of this book on the edge of my seat and the other part laughing my ass off. Thankfully the awesome back and forth banter is still present in this book 😉
It’s just too bad that now the waiting starts all over again !! Let’s just hope time flies.
An ARC was kindly provided in exchange for an honest review.
Holy cow! This book left me at a complete loss for words. J.T. Geissinger has such a way with words that she held me captivated and I didn’t look up until the very end. I was excited to pick up where Dangerous Beauty left off. I wanted to know what was next for Eva and Naz. From the very beginning of this book, we hit the ground running. Naz woke up needing to know what happened to Eva! I enjoyed the twists and the truth that came to light throughout this book. I wanted to know more about Killian and what was next for Eva. I love the love between Eva and Naz and I couldn’t read this book fast enough! I was consumed by this story and I need the next book, yesterday! Be sure not to let this series pass you by!
5 MINERVA, SUPERIOR MAN, I’M SO IN LOVE WITH NAZ,(a thousand heart emojis)STUPENDOUS, WONDROUS, STARS*******Let me try to put into words what I just read! Ms. Geissinger you never ever seem to amaze me. You have done it again! This 2nd read into the Dangerous Beauty series picks up from the previous book and the electrifying ride is nonstop. I. LOVED. EVERY. FREAKING. MOMENT. IN. THIS. BOOK!!! I am not sure how you keep doing this, but I’m blown away! Just blown away at the way you capture these characters.
******************************************************************************
Naz and Eva are separated by another new player, named Killian. Now I have to admit I was not a fan of Killian at all. I mean after what he did, how could I possibly excuse what he did? I believe he crossed a line, that should not be crossed. However, as in true Geissinger style, she somehow makes him seem human? Killian is intense, strong, handsome, charming and very, very deadly. So I will reserve judgement on him for now. I’m sure he will redeem himself, Lol. I enjoyed Nasir and Evalina’s relationship so much. The love that they have for each other is strong and solid. Their love eclipses all other emotions to surpass a love that is powerful and extraordinary!!! Just BEAUTIFUL, ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!! Filled with action, so much humor and my favorite characters, Connor and Tabby, twists and turns and THAT ENDING? THAT ENDING!!!! I mean I’m not sure that I can wait for the next book, especially with a double surprise ending? I enjoyed this story immensely and cannot find enough positive and marvelous words to describe what I felt as I read Dangerous Desires.
Well done, again Ms. Geissinger. WELL DONE!!!!
Wow. Smoking hot and engaging. JT Geissenger has written another page turner as we enter into the second part of Naz and Eva’s story. Tragic at times, hot and steamy others, with a continuing plot line and witty characters, this book is a fantastic read. It will keep you on your toes from cover to cover.
“Paradise isn’t a garden. It isn’t heaven, or some faraway, mythical place. Paradise is in the small, silent space between the faces of two lovers as they share their bodies and breath.”
Eva knows she can’t sit and wait for people to do what needs to be done, so she does it herself, no matter the cost. Naz wants to protect the woman he has fallen in love with, but is it enough? And then, we are introduced to super spy, Killian. Who may just throw a wrench in all of their intentions (I really hope we see more of him in his own book).
“The strongest steel is forged by fire, and so are the strongest souls. Your light is so much more beautiful because of your darkness. Your heart is so much more open because it’s been hollowed out by knives. And though I surely would’ve loved the younger, more innocent you, I adore you even more because all your broken pieces sing to mine.”
This novel does however, as warned by the author, end in a cliff hanger. I’d recommend just reading and rereading the first 2 books in anticipation of the release of the final book.
3 stars. Dangerous Desires is book two in the Dangerous Beauty trilogy. I enjoyed book one in the series, despite not knowing going in that it was not a standalone. This book is the continuation of Eva’s story. In book one, she met and fell in love with Naz, all while on the run from her psycho, abusive, crime boss ex. In this book, her story continues. I can’t say much without spoiling the story, but I will say things get more and more complicated for her (and Naz).
I have to say I did not enjoy this book as much as book one. At least I was able to predict the cliffhanger ending this time. I liked Eva and Naz when they were together. Unfortunately, they are separated half of the book. There is another man introduced during the separation and beyond, which felt very love triangle-like. There is kissing between them, under duress, but still. In fact, I wondered if the series would end up as a MFM menage. That made me feel insecure in the love between Eva and Naz. I just didn’t feel it in this book the way I did in book one. When they actually are together, Eva and Naz are really cheesy, lovey-dovey, but I still didn’t really feel fully convinced of the emotions between them. Still, I did find the story entertaining for the most part, if a little slow at times.
Overall, this series’ storyline is interesting and exciting. I like Eva and Naz and want them to have a happy ending. I will continue the series in hopes for that HEA.
J.T. Geissinger definitely has a way with words! I freakin love her work and have been so excited for this next book in the series. I fell in love with these characters and their witty, funny banter. The suspense is some of the best written – ever. And this action packed storyline is building up to a wild ride.
The cliffy on book 1 had me stunned. This book picks right up and let me tell you the surprises keep coming. I love being caught off guard. I love a story that is far from predictible. This author excels at it all. Her words and articulation are some of the best I’ve ever read.
I just cannot get enough and can’t wait to read what she has in store for us in the conclusion.
Rated 4.5 Stars
Dangerous Desires upped the ante in so many ways especially the intensity. The suspense aspect is more intense than the first book so too are the sex scenes and Naz and Eva’s relationship. I loved where the author took this installment and cannot wait to see how it all ends especially after that cliffy. I definitely recommend this series.

This is Book two in the Dangerous Beauty trilogy and picks up where book one left off but be prepared, if you thought you knew what was in store, you have no idea. JT Geissinger takes you on an all new adventure with Eva and Naz but she adds crazy twists, edge of your seat suspense, and new characters that will make you question everything you thought you knew.
In book one we experience the deep connection Eva and Naz have built. A love like theirs doesn’t come along every day. So when Eva is forced to make a decision, she shows the true depths of her love for Naz. It will break his heart but she’ll do anything to keep him alive. Even if that means sacrificing herself.
Love’s true power isn’t in the strength or courage it gives, but in the selfishness it strips away.
In the hands of Killian (who I seriously crushed on) and Raphael, Eva finds herself a prisoner in some sick game that will have her fighting for her life.
But when Naz wakes up in the hospital the first thing he wants is Eva only to find out she’s suddenly disappeared. The dread in his gut tells him she doesn’t want to be found, but he knows she loves him and is certain somethings wrong. When he discovers she negotiated with Demitri he’s determined to find her even if that means he has to burn down every city before he watches her go back to the man who terrorized her for years. With no trail left behind, Naz is in a battle against time but with Tabby and Connor on his side, he’s pushing full steam ahead.
As Eva continues to fight she uses every instinct she has, even building an alliance with a man she thought was her new enemy.
Not everything is as it seems and Eva and Naz are back together again and through all the madness they continue to love harder than before, and let’s be honest, they even keep the funny banter that is only for them.
“Please don’t be angry with me.”
Without opening his eyes, he says, “You’re doing that on purpose, aren’t you?” “What?”
“Using that small voice. The sweet one that comes with the big Bambi eyes.”
“No.” Pause. “Why, is it working?”
I absolutely loved Eva and Naz and routed for them from the very beginning! They are seriously the cutest pair. Throw in another alpha, some mystery and action and this book was seriously a blast to read!!!
And yes, It ends on a cliffhanger and I can’t wait for more!!
Dimitri is still on the lookout for Eva. Will he finally find the wife he’s been searching for?!?!
I can’t wait to find out where JT Geissinger will take this story next!!

*** Dangerous Desires is book two in the Dangerous Beauty trilogy and is required to be read in series order. This review may contain spoilers if you have not started the series with book one, Dangerous Beauty. ***
After finding the most epic of true love, Evalina and Nasir’s journey is far from over…
With an imminent danger threatening the love of her life, Eva does the unthinkable and returns to the monster she once vowed that she would never be at the mercy of, ever again. Boarding a boat to face her worst nightmare turns into a whole new type of torment… and ensures a threat to all of her future happiness…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dangerous Desires was the heart pounding and all consuming second book in the Dangerous Beauty trilogy. This book held me enthralled with it’s unparalleled suspense and the continued one of a kind connection between Eva and Naz. With the theme that true love can overcome any obstacle, this love story is far from over…
Eva will never give up on her feelings for Naz, no matter how far away they are from each other, or how hopeless her situation may seem. In fact, her devotion seems to keep getting stronger in the face of their adversaries, and may be the only thing that can save her from a fate worse than death… Dimitri Ivanov.
When Naz discovers what Eva has done, he enters in a single minded determination to get her back, no matter what the cost. But when he discovers the real situation that Eva may be in, getting her back will turn into the least of his worries…
Dangerous Desires was an engaging and fresh read, and definitely held it’s ground with the first book in this trilogy. I have found that it tends to be incredibly hard for me to enjoy the middle book in a trilogy, but this one absolutely hit it out of the park! The story held me captivated and I fell even more in love with Eva and Naz, if that is even possible!! I seriously ADORE their relationship, it is still as funny and genuine as ever, and the heat has ramped up to all kinds of sexy new levels. From how sweet and devoted they are, to the reality of the danger they are facing, their relationship will also be tested like never before…
With the introduction to a fascinating new player (who I would love to see much more of!) and a pain sweating cliffhanger, this trilogy will conclude with the book Dangerous Games, which is scheduled to release on November 19th. Oh man, I have no idea how we are all going to wait that long…
I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.
I love JT Geissinger and this trilogy is one of her best works. She writes characters and stories that pull you in and make you never want to leave their world.
This book picked up exactly where the first one Dangerous Beauty left off. But it took an unexpected turn quite early on. We were introduced to Killian (I want a book about him), who had an important role in this book. I really can’t say much without spoilers but this one is a must-read. And for people who hate being left hanging, WAIT or you will have sleepless nights after that ending!
Eva walked on the boat knowing she was going back to the hell that was life with Dimitri, to protect Naz. Like in the first book, she was strong and sassy but unafraid to show vulnerability.
Naz was the perfect alpha male. He wanted to keep Eva away from all harm but he respected her opinions and choices. He listened to her and understood her desire to be part of the plans.
I loved their banter <3 <3
“You’ve got a really peculiar face. What’s the name for this hideous condition of yours?”
I think for a moment. “Awesome. . . intelligent . . . itis?”
This book will make you feel, and that is a feat. The writing is almost like poetry. Naz and his words.. What Eva and Naz felt about each other was conveyed so clearly, it was magical. It made me so happy just reading about them.
I didn't want to keep the book down. The twists just kept on coming and I was blown away. I can't wait for the last book, which I know is going to be awesome, to read about the conclusion of Naz and Eva's story.
This action pact hot as all get out trilogy just took another turn that will throw them all for a loop. Time is running out for them, and their happily ever after is most definitely in the balance. If they can’t work together in their quest to defeat Dimitri once and for all, they just might not make it. Eva might be a wounded bird, but she has a spine and a force of will that will see her though anything, even if that is back with Dimitri. Nas means more to her that her own life and she is more than willing to sacrifice it. Nas on the other hand does not see that sacrifice as necessary, he is a protector and he would do anything to keep her out of harms way, Eva is his everything and when he woke up to find her gone it just about broke him. Working non stop, injures and terrified, he will not rest until he has found her and she is safe once again. Twist and turns, surprises and heat and action galore are what you will be getting with this installment. You definitely do not want to miss it! You might just want to wait and read it with the final one! Hopefully I have not spoiled anything for anyone! Loved loved loved every minute of this five star read.
I loved this story even more than the first, and I REALLY loved the first. I was enthralled from page 1, and couldnt stop reading. Number 3 cant get here fast enough!!!!
