What a fast paced epic conclusion to the series! I absolutely love Naz as I've said through the entire trilogy, and Eva, she's such a great heroine! Spunky, feisty, and a force to be reckoned with, exactly the kind I enjoy reading. Hopefully by now you've read the first two as this wouldn't make much sense as a stand alone but if you've been waiting to get all three at once DO IT! This is some of the best action I've read in a while, thrilling in a way that means you're not going to want to put this down even for a moment so block off some 'me' time and dig in, this series has it all, action, adventure, suspense, this author hits all the feels in this final installment that wraps everything up in a nice little ribbon. Everybody gets whats coming to them, the good the bad and the ugly and its so satisfying you'll need a smoke after lol!

The ending of the book was my favorite. I skimmed a lot of the book, simply because it was too violent for me. Dimitri is brutal, and like to see the fear in people too much.
This is part three of Naz and Eva's story. You have to read part one and two first or you will be lost.

This is book 3, but the first I’ve read in the series. Must admit I am not a big fan of Russian cruel mobsters, and I felt like I was dropped into the middle of the story. Since it is book 3 that could be the case. Not a bad book, but not really my style. Skimmed a lot in the middle, but would recommend if you like these types.

Oh, how I couldn't wait to read this story, the conclusion to the Dangerous Beauty trilogy. And let me tell you, it was worth the wait and then some! J.T. Geissinger masterfully weaves a tale of darkness, angst, and danger, giving readers exactly what they've been waiting for with this final installment of the series. Please note that Dangerous Games is NOT A STANDALONE! It picks up exactly where Dangerous Desires left off and trust me when I say you will not be able to put it down! If you haven't read the first two books, STOP and please go back to read the series from the start.

Geissinger gives readers everything they could want and more with this story. Just when you think you know what is coming, the story will veer off and take you in a different direction. It's exciting, it's heartstopping and you'll be on the edge of your seat, dying to know how the plot plays out. Be prepared for plenty of heartbreaking moments but just know that Geissinger doesn't leave her readers hanging, giving us the perfect ending to this dramatic series. To balance out the darkness, she laces the story with humor throughout, creating the perfect balance. Naz and Eva will surely steal your heart! I just hope and pray that Geissinger one day will give us Killian's story. I NEED more of Killian in my life!!! Until then, I'll revel in the little nuggets she gave us about this total enigma!

Great end to the trilogy! I loved all of the characters, even those that were meant to be somewhat villainous.

A very exciting conclusion to this 3 book series. The dialogue is powerful and the action is all-engrossing. This book was very dark so beware of that. I think my favorite of the 3 was the second when she spent the most time with Naz. They are truly awesome together!

4 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
ARC recived from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Book 3 of the Trilogy, a Romantic Suspense series with some twists, turns and action along the way.

I was so very happy "finally" to get the oppportunity to read the conclusion to this fast paced and extremely absorbing trilogy from J.T. Geissinger.... but....oh my....this one was a lot darker and definitely way more angsty than the other two books of the trilogy.....but YES.... we finally get to see Dimitri.... get his "just deserts".....he was such a sick, evil and cruel b*stard (and I do not say that lightly)......this book actually gave me goosebumps!!!
This part of the story was essentially so much more about Eva than the other two installments and in this....she needed her inner strength alone, here....just to survive!!!
I LOVED the ending and we also got a sweet epilogue that made me think that "maybe".... there might be a book coming for Killian....in the future......and that would definitely be a "very" good thing indeed!!!!.....

Great writing from this author and I really did enjoy this fast paced and twisty romantic suspense series....I think that I read each book in record time....they were really not the sort of reads that you put down!!!!

After that nail biting cliffhanger in book 2, Dangerous Beauty, I have been waiting for this one with baited breath! Dangerous Games starts right where we left off and it was non-stop suspense, drama and some difficult scenes. I have to be completely honest and say that I skimmed through quite a few of these scenes. I was, however, in awe of how strong Eve was, mentally and physically, throughout the book. Being in the hands of her tormentor again and not knowing what had happened to Dimitri must have been excruciating, but she did not give up.

Even though they are apart for quite awhile, the love they have for each other definitely shines through. This book was much more difficult to read, but there were some scenes that really lightened it up too. A specific secondary character did not bother me in this book as he did in book 2, I actually really hope to get his story.

Overall, Dangerous Games was a great conclusion to what was an amazing series.

Dangerous Games begins right where the previous book in this trilogy ended. I'm not a big fan of books that end in cliffhangers, mainly because it's hard for me to remember what happened in the previous books. However, I enjoyed these books so much that I refreshed my memory before beginning this final chapter. Eva and Naz have been through hell and they have to continue to overcome horrific obstacles in order to be together. Dark, gritty, painful at times, this action packed novel takes the reader on an emotional roller coaster. Hang on because it's worth the ride.

Finally the ending to Naz and Eva's story. Dimitri is truly nasty, mean, and evil. Loved where Eva's help came from especially after all she endures at Dimitri's hand, but it took too long for her to be free. Great ending and epilogue to their story, even if it did take three books to get there.

Who the heck is Killian really? Is he going to get a HEA? And he's got a twin...what..

She saved the best for last!!! This is the third book in the Dangerous Beauty series. This book starts exactly where the last book ended. OMG I was on edge so much I couldn’t sit still. Dimitri is evil personified. A lot of the book is so hard to read I had to put it down. The abuse Eve goes through is horrendous. It was a roller coaster ride of emotions. Thank goodness we got the comic relief in the midst of everything else. Through all the urgency Nasir,Killian and Doc’s back and forth banter was hilarious. Justice was definitely served.As much as it took to get to the end it was so worthwhile. Now onto Killian’s story PLEASE!!!!

I love JT Geissinger books. Well, I love them except for the three books in this series. First, I don’t like “serial” books that end with a cliffhanger and then we have to wait for the next story to come out. But that isn’t the worst issue with these stories.

The biggest issue is the implausibility. There are so many places when I rolled my eyes. Another issue is the gratuitous violence. The books are full of violence, and it worsens the further into the book. There is just so much wrong here, but let’s take Killian as an example; the things he does to the heroine serve no point except to being more violence into the story, and then they end up as friends? No.

I read this, I gave it a chance and plodded through three books of this, because of loyalty to the enjoyment I’ve received from her other books. I can appreciate a writer wanting to stretch into new areas. But I won’t do it again. Hopefully this isn’t a trend in her upcoming books. I will say that she won’t be an insta-buy after this experience. I’ll wait to see if I get an enjoyable story first.

I devoured the first two books in this three part story and was anxiously waiting for this one. Sure seemed like it took forever! ;) Read all three in order, one after the other. I think this would be the best way to read them. Which you should do - you wont be disappointed.
This book ends where the last one did. It jumps right back in.
I highly recommend this story!

(I'm too nervous to write more.... I don't want to give away ANYTHING!)

This whole series has been an amazing, heart pounding ride! Dangerous Games is the conclusion to this trilogy and what a conclusion it is! I couldn’t put it down. Loved it.

Was this review helpful?

Dangerous Games is the finale to this rollercoaster of a trilogy and begins straight where Dangerous Desires ended.
Eva is back in the hands of heinous abusive Dimitri, his psychopathic cruelty knows no bounds, the writing is tense and extremely descriptive making for uncomfortable reading at times, but the strength of Eva’s character shines during these terrible acts of violence against her.
Meanwhile Naz now injured is going out of his mind with worry and Killian is is on the hunt to find out where Dimitri has taken Eva.
What characters they are, so well constructed with such depth. The love Naz and Eva have for each other sustains them, as it does the reader. A shorter book than the previous two but boy is everything packed into it.
A wonderful finale, it could not of ended more satisfactorily.
The addition of Killian really added humour and strength and was an inspiration, he must have his own story.
My thanks to net galley and publisher for the opportunity to review this book honestly.

To say this final book is action packed would be an understatement, folks. Here’s a couple pieces of advice: #1. Better brace yourself for some very graphic disturbing abuse (mental and physical) inflicted upon this already been to hell and back before heroine. I actually wish some of that had been less frequent/reigned in. #2 Read the books in order. This book is not meant to be a stand-alone. #3 Prepare to be even more swept off your feet by the love this main couple have for each other. Each book keeps solidifying that bond, even when they have been parted against their will. It is an epic, undying kind of love. If steam is your thing, well, you certainly get some up close and personal smexiness.

Naz is once again determined not to give up on his Eva. He proves over and over he’ll put his life and heart on the line to keep his lady love.

Eva shows us first hand she’ll never give up or surrender to the devil of a monster who is insanely possessed with an obsession to control/own her mind, body, and soul. Fortunately, even an OTT evil villain can be brought to his knees.

It is killing me hear not to go on and on ranting and raving about Killian, an awesome James Bond like sub-character, who made cameo appearances here. We first met him in book 2, Dangerous Desires, and I simply cannot get enough of his awesome, man of mystery manliness. Here’s to hoping he gets his own series, my fellow romance book loving friends, sooner rather than later. He certainly needs his own kind of Eva in his life.

Title: Dangerous Games, Series: Dangerous Beauty (Book 3), Author: J.T. Geissinger, Pages: 221, should read all 3 books in order, not a stand-alone, strong, resilient heroine with abusive past, determined to save/be with her alpha hero, graphic disturbing abuse, violence, unstoppable love/soul mates, OTT evil villain, heroine is beaten/tortured/almost raped.

Book 1 - Dangerous Beauty
Book 2 - Dangerous Desires
Book 3 - Dangerous Games

This third installment in the Dangerous Beauty trilogy picks up exactly where Dangerous Desires leaves off, with the return of Dimitri. Being forced to return with him, Eva's determined more than ever that she won't let him destroy her.

This was a hard story to read, it's dark, twisted, and has all the triggers. It's so fantastically well written, with so many twists and bombs, it's hard to write a good spoiler-free review. In the previous books, Eva has hinted at the evil that is Dimitri, in this final book, we actually get to see what she was talking about. My heart was so broken for her and all that she's endured. This book is such an emotional roller coaster with the ending being so much sweeter because it was so hard fought for by Naz and Eva. With all the darkness and sadness, there is some humor, especially when Killian reappears. Overall this is a fantastic romantic suspense trilogy that will keep you guessing what's going to happen next.
