Dangerous Desires is book two in the Dangerous Beauty trilogy by J.T. Geissinger. I highly recommend you read book one first. These are not stand alone. Book one, Dangerous Beauty, is a fantastic book too. You will not be disappointed!!
The book starts the heart pangs of emotion for Eva and then heartache for the loss Naz is feeling. Then…
Intense and heart stopping action.
A roller coaster of wonderful emotions.
Edge of your seat action!
HOT Sex!
Like a 007 spy thriller!
Sweet and tender love!
Non-stop explosive action!
As much as I was prepared for there to be a cliff-hanger, it still crept up on me like BAM, WTF!!!
I love the cliffhanger endings and the anticipation of waiting for the next book to come out.
This is yet another amazing book by J.T. Geissinger. You won’t be able to put it down.
Wow! Wow! Wow! From the incredible chemistry and the hilarious, sarcastic banter – I so loved this book! Read this book in one sitting and it still wasn’t enough! Cant wait for the ending!
Dangerous Desires is book two in the Dangerous Beauty trilogy by J.T. Geissinger. To start off with, I just want to say WOW! This author! She writes the most beautiful words! This would be classified as a romantic suspense but I don’t think it matters what genre she is writing in. Her words are just perfection.
This book starts up right where the previous book left off. But here is where I have to say BUT! Because if you think you knew where things were going to go, you are in for a big surprise. This book is one surprise after another. We are introduced to a new character, Killian, whom I’m pretty much in love with I might add.
Eva is probably the bravest woman I have ever read about. The love she and Naz have for one another is breath taking. There is nothing these two won’t sacrifice for one another. What I love, though, is that they never lose the humor that they share with one another. They could be in the most stressful of situations and that banter is still there.
Naz is every bit the alpha, I’m the man and I’m going to protect my woman mentality. He goes nose to nose with Eva more than once because she will never again relinquish her power to any man, no matter how much she loves him. She wants to stand by Naz’s side, not behind him. She wants to bring down the man who forced her to live with pain and torture the last seven years and she will be a part of the process.
“I know this is the only heaven a man like me will be granted, so much more than I could ever dream or deserve.”
Naz also has all the words. That man! I swooned so much it’s a wonder I didn’t pass out.
I really can’t say much more, other than to prepare yourselves for a crazy, wild ride. And prepare yourselves to sigh, swoon, gasp, smile, maybe even laugh out loud. This book/series has every single thing that I love. But I really have to again give all the credit to this amazing author for writing all the words. Yes, there is a cliff hanger. There is one more book to go, Dangerous Games, due out later this year. It can’t get here fast enough.
WOW! Holy SH** was that alot to unpack, but in the very best way! I had to sit here for a bit to decide what I couldn’t mention without spoiling anything, and I’m very VERY sure you don’t want any spoilers going into this because I have to say for me, the best parts of this book were all of the things you couldn’t see coming. Obviously, this is not a stand alone, its part two of a three part series. Its action packed, filled with intrigue, mysteries around every corner, just the definition of edge of your seat excitement. Naz is my favorite hero from this author, and Eva is such a spitfire! I loved each and every word of this crazy wild ride and I look forward to the conclusion!
November!! I have to wait til November?!?! I love it!
I’ve been anxiously awaiting this one. My fingers were starting to cramp from clinging to the cliff! I love, love, loved it! The quippy relationship between Naz & Eva. The dark humor. Connor, Tabby, the mysterious Killian…This book has all my favorite elements!! Wit, seemingly unstoppable, super human heros and heroines, steamy passion, unfailing faith & love, intriguing mystery, and twists that make me want to throw my Kindle across the room. I can’t wait for more!! I love a cliffhanger! I received an advanced copy from NetGalley. I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
4.5 stars! Action, suspense, drama and of course, some epic chemistry, this book will keep you guessing about what is going to happen next! Didn’t want it to end and can’t wait for the final book of the series!
Naz and Eva couldn’t possibly have had a worse day…and yet that was before this book starts! Dangerous Desires picks up tight where Dangerous Beauty leaves off. Naz in the hospital and Eva making a choice.
Good thing, Naz doesn’t like ultimatums or his choice taken away. His drive and her need set them on a different journey then they expected.
Desires is full of the lust, intrigue, and snarky/witty comments that Beauty was. I love that both Eva and Naz try to keep their sense of humor. As a weirdly inappropriate commenter in bad times myself, I felt like one of the family! Lol.
Of course don’t forget the main lesson we were taught in the first book, always expect the unexpected.
I look forward to seeing how these three work together and save the world!
WOW! Is all I can say right now. Dangerous Desires is exactly what I was feeling while reading this book. If you thought Dangerous Beauty was an edge of your seat suspenseful, you haven’t read anything yet. Wait till you meet Killian (swoon) he’s like an onion so many layers to this man. Do we have a love triangle on our hands? I hope not because Eva and Naz’s, oh the chemistry and the sexiness between these two and constant need Eva and Naz have to protect and fight for each other, just makes me hope even more for their HEA.
Again, this author has pulled us in and has us hanging over the edge till Dangerous Games. Let the countdown begin because we need the next book, NOW!
A keep you on the edge of your seat page turner that will keep you reading well into the night. This book has all the feels and lots of action. A great second book in a trilogy that will leave you wanting more and begging for the third book so you can see how it all ends.
DANGEROUS DESIRES by J.T. Geissinger is book Two in the Dangerous Beauty Series. This continues the story of Nasir ‘Naz’ and Evalina ‘Eva’, so you really should read the first book ‘Dangerous Beauty’ first to fully enjoy this one. Eva has gone missing and of course Naz is hot on her trail to find her. Eva had wanted to protect Naz but her plan didn’t go the way she thought. Now she is more of a pawn in a dangerous game. Their story is one that is steamy but also it brings the drama that keeps you turning the pages. This one does end to set us up for the next part of this series.
Dangerous Desires, book 2 in the Dangerous Trilogy starts off just where book 1 left off with Eva being self-sacrificing and walking back into her old life in hell with Dimitri to save Naz, but things don’t work out the way she expects. While Naz is doing all he can to find her, Eva is playing a new cat and mouse game with the enigmatic Killian. Wild card Killian may be there to take her back to the vicious mob boss or something else.
J.T. Geissinger pulled out all the stops is this middle section of Dangerous Beauty. She has ratcheted the intrigue and suspense levels to Mach 10 levels with the addition of another player as well as motivations. There are moments of shock and intensity that make for a thrilling, fast-paced read that is exciting from page one and continues on, page after page until the end. Her characters are amazing; showing strength, durability and even humor in situations that would break the average person. Eva is a woman who has painfully learned all of life’s harshest lessons but still manages to hold on to hope. Naz is a jade soldier who can still recognize a precious gift when it is bestowed upon him.
There is another in the trilogy yet to come and Geissinger leaves this one on an even greater, gasp-worthy cliffhanger that proves that book 3 will be as explosive and gripping as book 2.
4.5 stars. I am going to keep this relatively short as I don’t want to spoil anything. This book has it all – suspense, humor, and steam. Dangerous Desires picks up right where book 1 left off and I was immediately pulled in. I absolutely adored Eva in that she is a hard core heroine. She is definitely a survivor and I admire how brave, determined, resilient, and intelligent she is. Naz continues to be the hot and sexy alpha male who has quite the protective streak towards Eva and you cannot help, but love him. This author beautifully incorporates both humor and suspense in this book. Some of the banter between Naz and Eva is hysterical and Naz’s rather inventive possible ways to cause an enemy’s demise had me laughing. This book has a fair amount of suspense and some twists and turns that kept me on my toes. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book as it moves at a good pace, has an intriguing storyline, and has likable, well-developed main characters. I am looking forward to seeing where the author takes us next with Eva and Naz.
J.T. Geissinger has done it again, folks. Having absolutely loved book 1, she set the bar pretty dang high for me with this main couple’s relationship and continuing unfolding drama. Well, that bar is now sky high and continues to climb. I’m guessing it will hit outer space in the near future. She had me absolutely reeling with the introduction of a brand new twist involving a sexy, sinful, lethal sub-character, who added even more danger to an already life threatening situation. As if I wasn’t already blown away by Naz and Eva’s story, this guy was like pouring gasoline on their perilous circumstances and lighting a match. Yeah, Killian’s proven he’ll set the world on fire if that’s what it takes to get what he wants.
Eva has proven she’ll go to the ends of the earth and make the ultimate sacrifice for love. I absolutely loved her resilient, sassy, selfless character. Whether it be with Naz or Killian, her quick witted banter did the sisterhood proud. You simply can’t keep this good woman down, folks. Make no mistake though. She is all about Naz and no other man holds her heart.
Naz never gives up hope on finding Eva, but he nearly goes out of his mind with worry. What hasn’t killed them has only made their love for each other stronger. His unwaiverly determination to get his lady love back proves he’ll be just as lethal as Killian if anyone stands in his way. Btw, the back and forth adversarial banter between these two gorgeous guys was epic! I loved their stare downs and quick combative comebacks
Yes, you owe it to yourself to read book 1 first, my fellow romance book loving friends. Mainly because you don’t want to miss a single second of Naz and Eva’s back storyline. Though book 2 continues the saga and ends with another major cliffhanger, the writing here flows so seamlessly I feel the author did a great job of recapping past events. If no other option, by all means, jump into the water here and get sucked into this explosive romantic tale. A piece of this relationship and drama is better than never having known them at all. I absolutely can’t wait for the conclusion in book 3, Beautiful Games.
Title: Dangerous Desires, Series: Dangerous Beauty (Book 2), Author: J.T. Geissinger, should read book 1 first, great resilient, selfless, fights for love heroine, alpha protective good guy hero, some violence, cliffhanger ending, heroine is kidnapped/beaten.
Book 1 – Dangerous Beauty
Book 2 – Dangerous Desires
Book 3 – Dangerous Games

DANGEROUS DESIRES is the second instalment in J. T. Geissinger’s contemporary, adult DANGEROUS BEAUTY romantic, suspense trilogy focusing on former Special Ops military man and security specialist Nasir ‘Naz’ Mansouri, and Evalina ‘Eva’ Ivanova. DANGEROUS DESIRES should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff-hanger of book one Dangerous Beauty. The Dangerous Beauty series is a spin-off from the author’s BAD HABIT series. You do not have to have read the previous series to follow the current time line but I recommend reading HOT AS SIN for some background and cohesion to Nasir’s story.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Eva and Naz) DANGEROUS DESIRES focuses on Eva’s desperate measures to protect the man with whom she had fallen in love. Willingly sacrificing herself for the sake of Naz, Eva finds herself imprisoned on a yacht by a man who is hoping to destroy the very person to whom Eva has offered up herself. A case of mistaken identity finds Eva the victim of another man’s rage, rage that leaves our heroine struggling for her life. As Naz desperately searches for the woman he loves, Eva finds herself commiserating with her captor, a man who isn’t afraid to kill for what he wants. What ensues is the search and rescue of Eva Ivanova, and the potential fall-out as Eva finds herself once again on the run, desperate to stay one step ahead of a violent past.
Naz Mansouri was seriously injured, and the woman he loved was by his side but waking up alone, Naz calls in the team from Metrix Security Service as they search for a woman willing to sacrifice herself for the life of Nazir Mansouri. Eva Ivanova knows abuse and pain first hand, and she stands her ground facing off against one of her captors.
The relationship between Eva and Naz is seductive and hot. Naz struggles with Eva’s willingness to place herself in danger, danger that all but threatens their own happily ever after. The $ex scenes are numerous, erotic and intense without the use of over the top,sexually graphic language and text.
We are re-introduced to Naz’s boss Connor and his wife Tabby (Wicked Sexy –Wicked Games), as well as the introduction of Killian, a man willing to kill to save the lives of millions of people.
DANGEROUS DESIRES is a story of vengeance and betrayal ; power and control; mistaken identity; love and family. The premise is engaging and intriguing; the romance is steamy and hot; the characters are colorful, energetic and brave. DANGEROUS DESIRES ends on a cliff hanger-you have been warned.
What an incredible part 2 to the Dangerous Beauty series. This is not just a love story, but is also a fast paced and super exciting thriller which grabs you on the first page and doesn’t let you go until you have read the last page.
In her effort to protect Naz from Dimitri, Eva leaves him in the hospital and disappears. She is met by someone who takes her to a boat where she meets the mysterious Killian who she thinks must be one of Dimitri’s men from the way he treats her. Eva believes that she will be lucky to survive the trip back to Dimitri but she is willing to sacrifice herself to save the love of her life.
In the meantime, Naz is going crazy trying to find her, using all the assets and connections that his organization has at it’s disposal, and as he manages to track her down, and meets Killian the truth comes out that Dimitri has more evil plans than just wanting Eva back, and somehow he has to be stopped.
I was just riveted by this story, and could not put it down. It is so intense, with lots of surprises and unanswered questions, and it left me wondering who this Killian guy really was, and would Naz end up killing him or becoming best friends with him? Guess we might find out in book three! Lastly what can I say about that ending, an absolutely heart-stopping cliffhanger!
I love the writer’s move into this romance/thriller genre it is so different to anything I have read from her before, and I have read just about everything. Just cannot wait for the conclusion. Incredible Ms Geissinger, I would give you more than five stars if I could.
Okay, first a fair warning: This is not a standalone book and you cannot start this series with this book, you need to read the first one – Dangerous Beauty (my review here)!!!
So the book follows Eva’s journey after she left him. She wanted to go back to Dimitri because she wanted to protect Naz – I can understand that even though I’m sure Naz could offer protection to both of them. Unfortunately, she finds herself on the boat with the spy. Now, I don’t know about you but personally, I’d prefer if I didn’t know beforehand that he was a spy (the blurb is a little spoiler-ish) because then my reading experience would be different – if I didn’t see him as a hero too. He did some terrible things but when it’s explained (and of course, when you know he’s a spy) you easily forgive him.
Naz is pissed (what else, right?) and went to get her back. They reunite in Portugal (and the reunion is quite quick, I so wasn’t expecting such an easy reunion) and they are planning to destroy Dimitri. We’re left with that (huh, yes, for such a long book and me basically saying it all without – hopefully – spoil everything).
Buuuuuut….
I hate to say this but OMG, THAT ENDING. She did something so stupid, I’m pretty sure some readers would call her action TSTL. It’s THAT stupid, okay? Like when I was reading what she did I was like ”NOOOOOOOOOOOOO, DON’T DO THAT, HOW STUPID ARE YOU?”.
With that said, you have been warned. It was a great read with not much action as the first book (I mean suspense and that not the sexual kind ) but I wish the blurb wouldn’t be so revealing and her action(s) wouldn’t be so stupid. Also, when I read the blurb it kind of hinted like there might be a twisted love triangle or a menage – there’s thankfully none of that (not that I mind it – I just wouldn’t expect it after the first book) …
3.5 stars.
I am curious how their story concludes so I’m looking forward to the final part even though trilogies with the same MCs are so not my cup of tea.
ARC provided via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
WOW!
I am literally on the edge of my seat and biting my nails with the way this book ended! WTF! So utterly fantastic and amazing! What an epic roller coaster ride of action, suspense and intrigue. Once again this amazing author takes our emotions and twists them all up. This story is fantastic and it just keeps getting better and better.
Eva and Naz have carved a special place into my heart. They are such a fantastic couple. They both come from dark and tragic backgrounds but it’s their pasts that make them stronger as a couple. I love the way they interact and how funny these two are together. Definitely one of my favourite book couples. Who doesn’t love a growly sexy man to love and protect you?
The ending was utterly heartbreaking and fantastic. I can’t wait to read the next book to see where this story goes. Fantastic writing as always. Highly recommend.
Nasir wakes up in the hospital to find that Eva has disappeared. Now he’s in a race to find her before Dimitri gets his hands on her again. Talk about pins and needles this book kept me on them waiting for the next shoe to drop. Fast paced,sexy suspense at its best.I love the back and forth banter between Naz and Eva. Humor is always a big part of a JT Geissinger book. Killian, I’m not sure what to say about him except I want to see more. Your killing me with these cliffhangers. November can’t get here fast enough.
I’m so excited about this one because it just means more Nasir and Eva. You must read this in series order (read Dangerous Beauty first). The love is still so strongly felt between Nasir and Eva in Dangerous Desires. Both will stop at nothing to keep each other safe from Dimitri’s clutches. I love how strong Eva is. She seems to grow stronger with each book so far. And in Dangerous Desires you just see her shine through everything she is up against. She may put herself in harm’s way but she does it with reason. I love how Tabby, Connor, and Nasir stop at nothing to get to Eva. The biggest question you’ll have is can you trust him? As you read you’ll know who I’m talking about. Yes, there is a huge cliffy. Yes, you will be sucked in and taken on a ride. This book and series are amazing when it comes to the suspense and the heat that J.T. Geissinger brings into Naz and Eva’s life. I so can’t wait for the next book. I couldn’t put this down.
The continuation of Naz and Eva’s story is another nail bitter! This woman is tough as nails. The love and trust they have for each other is a amazing. Eva’s plan goes very far awry and she is caught in the crosshairs in a situation that is not of her making. Naz (and Conner) to the rescue. Another crazy cliffy has me checking NetGalley daily for the final book!
