I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for letting me read this book.
I purposely waited till book three was out before reading this one, as I knew it would end on a cliffhanger again. I'm glad I did. We get a small amount of down time where Naz and Eva can be together, but most of the book is all action and angst. It's all very exciting, and I'm hoping Killian will come in and help Naz save the day in the next book. Let's hope Eva gives Dimitri what's coming to him.

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.

I absolutely loved this! This author gets better with each book she writes. I would highly recommend this book and any of her books!

Book 2: disappointing. Where is the Geissinger wit that fans know and love? I am irritated with both characters and side characters. Holding out hope that book three redeems this series.

This is second in the series and you HAVE to have read the first to really understand what's going on in this one. I really enjoyed the first book in the series, and was very much looking forward to this one. Unfortunately, the banter from the first book that I loved so much just wasn't really present in this one. Also, despite all the action, I felt like nothing really happened. It was like a lot of spinning of wheels with no traction for the plot and ultimately, I found Killian more interesting that Naz or Eva this time around. I definitely want to see how the story concludes, so I'll be checking out the final book for sure.

I loved this book and these characters. I’m a huge fan of the author and this series. I love the mafia setting and the fact that Naz is willing to track her down to the ends of the Earth or Portugal if he has to because she is his. They have intense chemistry and you can feel it through the pages as you are flipping through them on your e-reader or book. I can’t wait for the next one in this series.

Dangerous Desires picks up right where book one ended. Eva believes she had landed in the hands of the big bad Dimitri. It turns out she has been taken as a pawn by another man. I found him to be very intriguing. He becomes enamored with Eva. I never felt like he was a threat to Eva and Nas’s love for each other. I was more invested in finding out more about him. I would love him to have his own book.

I still loved the banter between Nas and Eva. I hated how alpha Nas was acting and how Eva had to reassure his fragile masculinity every five minutes. It was really annoying.

I am afraid this book kind of suffered from the dreaded second book in the trilogy syndrome. It was filler. I would have preferred this series be a duet. There was some good stuff in this book, but I really hope the final book pays off big time. Dimitri has really been built up to be a major baddie so I hope it shows in the last book.

i I have loved all the books she has written and his continuing story she has written was really good and I loved these characters.

4 Stars!

This book kicks off to where Dangerous Beauty ends, and although I love the first book, considering that it was actually one of my best reads this year as It captures my interest and a real page turner... I cannot say the same for this book.

This book feels just like a stretch of what is to happen on the third book. Nothing significant happened here to be honest. Just a competition between two egotistical men.

The most nail biting experience I got here was actually the part where I reached the ending. So, I can guarantee that the next book will be a whole lot better.

Still, I recommend this book as it is part of the whole series and new characters were introduced that might play a big role in defeating the villain, that is Dimitri for the grand finale that will be available on December.

Dangerous Desires is book two in the Dangerous Beauty trilogy by J.T. Geissinger, and let me tell you that this fabulous series just keeps getting better and better!

Dangerous Desires starts up right where the previous book left off, and it was such an amazing page-turner. Fast-paced, cleverly written, and well executed, this is by far the best, and the most gripping story I have read in a while. Brilliant, just brilliant!!

This book was so freaking amazing, and full of surprises. I loved following Eva and Naz's journey, and since I like to keep it spoiler free, all I'm going to say is buckle up, because this is going to be a wild ride.

I higly recommend this awesome series. Can't wait for Dangerous Games - Book #3 .

This ARC was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

However, I purchased my audible version of it and it was UTTERLY AMAZING, and Brilliantly performed by Aiden Snow & Lidia Dornet, and deserves 5 Brilliant Stars!!

Naz is in the hospital after the events that happened at the end of Dangerous Beauty. But no fear, he'll live, AND he's got his beautiful Eva by his side. Except not. She's gone and Naz knows where. To sacrifice herself to save him because she loves him as much as he loves her. Which is why Naz is going to move heaven and earth to find his soul mate. Thank God for his team, because he's got to stop her before she gives herself to Dimitri to save Naz.

"I'm in love. I'm so fucking in love. If I lose her, it will end me."

Whew, I thought Dangerous Beauty was crazy suspenseful and hot, but Dangerous Desires has got it beat, hands down! Their chemistry is even hotter here, their banter is even funnier and wittier, but best of all, Naz and Eva are truly in love in this second installment, and they're both setting out to prove it. But there's so much going on - not just the evil, controlling Dimitri, but a new player in their world, one that Naz despises but who may end up being an ally, and then there's an even more crazy cliffhanger than the one that Dangerous Beauty left us with, and now I'm seriously impatiently awaiting for the day that Dangerous Games lands on my Kindle, because I must know what happens next!!! I want Naz and Eve to freaking finally get their happily ever after! They need to catch a break and just be allowed to be happily in love without outside forces trying to tear them away from each other. Sigh...is it November yet?!?

"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."

I just loved this Duet!! This book was dark and dangerous! It was great!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

Dangerous desires is book two in Nas and Eva’s story. We have the issues with Dimitri, illnesses, and a secondary player that has his own agenda. This one ends in another cliff hanger but it’s a great read and a lot better than the first part. Really really enjoyed this one.

I really enjoyed the second book in the series. There was the right amount of suspense and romance. However, , be aware that it ends on a cliffhanger and what a cliffhanger it was! I can’t wait for the last last book that comes out in November!

Such a fun read. I even went back to read the first one after this. If you like hot, sexy romance, this is the book for you.

Many thanks to Netgalley, the author, and the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆☆
This is the second book in a trilogy – you have to read book one to have any hope of understanding the underlying plot! I assume that you have in my review.

There is a special kind of masochism involved in reading the second book in a trilogy... you absolutely want to move on from the cliffhanger that you were left on in book one, but at the same time you know going in that you are going to be super frustrated by the end, as it won't be the end either... that said, I am clearly such a person, as there was no way that I could have this installment and wait until the final one is released!

First, let me reassure you that this is just as well written and tightly plotted as the first. There is that constant feeling that we should be looking over our shoulders and checking out who is watching, who is listening, and who will cause the most damage next. Obviously Dimitri is the overarching danger, but now we meet Killian, who is the ultimate wild card – such violence, yet...

By the end it is difficult to believe that this all started on an idyllic holiday island, but Naz and Eva are solid – even if their desire to save each other sometimes clouds their common sense.

Grab a copy, devour it, and, like me, sit and wait patiently for the final book in the series, as things need to work out, but how will it all end?

Oh my god!!! First and foremost, I went into this entire series completely blind. I’ve been a fan of JTG for years and decided to try this series based on her name alone. I’mso glad I did, but I had no idea this was a cliffy. I need the next book NOW!

Oh my god! Things happened in the book that I never in a million years though I’d actually enjoy, yet the characters had me wrapped up in them from the very beginning.

In typically BBF hoarder fashion, I fall for the villain.....again. Hahahaha It’s a fast paced thrilling adventure and I am so here for it. I’m officially in countdown mode, waiting for book 3.

Here’s what I loved:
Eva is such an amazing character. She’s been through hell and back, but is so strong and so resilient. I couldn’t help rooting for and loving her even more than book one.

Nasir is challenged in the installment and proves to be a man who’s ready for the job. Both characters are consistent and entertaining.

The storyline and new characters were the real winner here. I am in love love love!!

Dangerous Desires is the second part of Nasir and Eva's story. It's not a stand-alone novel and like book one, it ends with a cliffhanger. That cliffhanger was the best thing that happened in the book. You see, there is a love triangle of sorts. As you can read from the blurb there is 'the darkly seductive spy who abducted her now has more than business on his mind". Eva spent so much time with him and I got the feeling that he was too much on our face and just another obstacle to Eva and Nasir's story. The majority of the book was slow and I kept waiting for something good to happen. I don't consider Eva's rescue from said kidnapper to be exciting because the big bad is Dimitri and they did very little in their quest to take him down. I feel like the trilogy should have been a duet, with slightly more pages. I will finish the series because there is only one book left and I don't like leaving things unfinished. I hope that the kidnapper will realize that he is after the wrong woman and he will stop been brought up every 5 seconds. I was not satisfied with this book.

Evi and Naz story continues in the second book and no it doesn't end with this one this also ends with a cliffhanger. The story is witty and funny like the previous it has some unexpected twist and one new interesting character that juices up the story. The relationship with Naz and Evi evolves becomes deeper and their love stronger. I enjoyed reading the story but I do miss that it doesn't have an end and that I have to wait for another book.
I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for NetGalley

4.25 stars--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.
