This is the third book in the Dangerous Beauty series and should be read in succession. J.T. Geissinger sets a tumultuous, high-stakes pace from page one and does not let up until the very end. Readers finally get a glimpse at Dimitri’s character first hand. Bravo to Geissenger for being able to create such a warped dynamic. The narrative is dark, chaotic, and emotional. Great read. 5 stars.

Thank you to #NetGalley for this ARC of #DangerousGames, which I read and reviewed voluntarily. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This whole series has been like one big action movie that has had my heart pounding the whole way through. I can't see anyone getting bored.

On top of that action was such a beautiful love story. Naz far exceeded what I thought we were going to get from him. When he falls, he falls hard. He is exactly what Eva deserves after years of being held prisoner with that monster.

We got to see some of what that monster was capable of in this book and let me tell you, it was not easy to read. I wanted to annihilate Demetri. I wanted to hurt him back as badly as he hurts women and I think I would have been capable of it if I was faced with a monster like him. I won't call him a man. He doesn't deserve that title.

Killian was such a good surprise. I loved his character. I have my fingers crossed on both hands that the author will write a story for Killian.

Awesome series!

What an absolutely thrilling ending to this trilogy!

This picks up right where book 2 ends. Eva is caught up in a nightmare of epic proportions and this story races by at breakneck speed as Dimitri makes his move.

’We can try to bury the past, but some corpses refuse to lie quietly in their graves.’

There is so much angst and despair, but through it all, Eva rises to the challenge to become one of the strongest heroines I think I’ve ever read. She faces headon all that is thrown at her and holds fast to her faith and with it her need for vengeance.

’And oh, what a dangerous game I’m playing. What a dark, dangerous game.’

While this couple are separated through the majority of this book, there is never a doubt that you’re still reading a romance. It’s in all the thoughts and deep need these characters reflect upon even as their world is turned upside down. Naz is battling his failures as well as those around him who hold him constrained to what his body requires. He remains a strong hero with his only thought being to get to Eva. To protect, to cherish, to keep her safe.

There is a lot of villain time here and with it is some dark moments that may have you flinching. We’ve had a lot of lighthearted moments throughout this journey, and we still have them here, but when Dimitri is in the scene things always take a drastic downturn. This author conveys his evil throughout every word, every move and every flicker of his eyes.

This abounds with secondary characters that enrich the story, adding another level to the overall plot. So much happens that it’s impossible to predict how this will all end. And as if this author is taunting us with all his mysterious ways, Ms. Geissinger leaves even more bread crumbs as to who and what Killian really is. We must ensure that she continue his story in the future or furiously rebel if she chooses not to!

The previous two books in the series must be read prior to this, but at least you’ll have them all out there in print, ready to go for your continued pleasure. It’s been agony waiting! If you enjoy romantic suspense and thrillers with action that will have you nibbling every fingernail and sitting on the edge of your seat, you’re going to love this series!

AMAZING conclusion to the Eva and Naz story! While once again we get the evil, sadistic Dimitri and the evils and fear he expels to those around, I couldn't wait for him to get his due!!

This was an intense read with tragedy and triumph. The ending was amazing!

Thanks Netgalley.

Oh my goodness, what an epic conclusion to this story! I devoured every single second of this trilogy and it’s right up there are one of my favourites! Really hoping we get a book for a particular side character in the future!
