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.

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.

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

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.

Dangerous Desires
J.T Geissinger
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Holy Hell, what the hell just happened? I’m shocked and dirty as hell cause I didn’t know this was a cliffhanger. I hadn’t read the first book in this series but I read enough of this to know it was a roller coaster of everything from love and hot sex to downright evil and violent. If you like your stories gritty and nasty with suspense then this will be for you.

As I hadn’t read book one, I won’t go into the book in case I ruin it, but rest assured this will go down as a great book keeping you interest right through to the gasping end! Think I may need to read the third now just so I know what happens to Eva, Naz, Killian and Dimitri.

I’ve been totally enraptured by the first book but in this one it gets so much better. After the cliffhanger in the first part of Eva and Naz’s journey, I was waiting for the second book to come out and how they would find their way of happiness without the dark shadows of Eva’s past.

I have to admit the first part scared me a bit, especially introducing a new character, someone totally unexpected. I was afraid of the outcome, because some parts were to me flirting a little bit with some danger that might destroy what Eva and Naz had. However the author managed to describe so beautifully the main characters’ passion and endless, unconditionally love. 

This book was more introspective, focused on their feelings, insecurities and risks for their mission, to go on war against someone who used to have the upper hand, but above all the trust they shared, how much stronger they were together and not separated.

Oh man how I adored Eva and Naz more than ever; the protector met his match with that woman who in spite of the atrocities she had endured for years was no one’s victim. 

A man who would cross all earth to make feel her safe, to share her burdens and bring happiness into her life. It was Naz’s natural side and finding her only just emphasizes his need to protect her in any way, a bit alpha at times but damn she could definitely stand by herself. It was just as hot as totally sweet and swoony, and at times just… ovaries exploded!

Eva really convinced me on that one, showing that her scars made her stronger, like her love for Naz growing day by day. Giving her strength to fight back and also trying to protect the man she loves in any way. Selfless and caring, passionate and feisty. I appreciated every faces of her personality. 

And these two together… Oh my, I could feel the love and their hearts beating in sync, they really outshined everything. A mix of hotness, sensual and sweet at times, with a banter I adored. How they could sometimes escape from the real world, just being silly and enjoying and treasuring every moment.

In spite of that little part of the story, when I thought I was not going to like it, the author has shown she had more under her sleeves that she was letting on. In this dangerous path, Eva and Naz’s relationship was going to be threatened so many times but they trusted the other completely and mostly communicating and saying sometimes the things that needed to be said. 

I’ve been holding my breath, reading their story until the end, a real page turner, filled with suspense and sensuality, but mostly so much love. They were such a couple that you cannot not fall in love with, endearing, true to themselves and never letting go. I appreciated the witty and sarcastic banter and sometimes fun parts that gave a little lightness to this heavy side of the story. Speaking of that new character, I’d love to read his story at some point because I’m sure he has a lot of things to share.

Once again, one more mind-blowing ending. I can’t wait to read the final installment!!

Wow, Naz and Eva's story continues where it left off and hit's the ground running. Naz is beside himself trying to find any clues to lead him to Eva and to whoever is holding her captive. He will move heaven and earth to bring her back to him safely. Eva has a new menace that has her life on the edge. But she proves again and again how smart, clever and resilient she is in the face of danger. Eva will sacrifice anything to keep Naz safe, which makes her vulnerable to her new intriguing captor. Eva and Naz are hotter than ever together, and they make quite the team in the face of this new danger as well as the past she can't escape. Geissinger has a beautiful way of making my heart race while slipping in some much needed sass and witty banter. This second book in the Dangerous Beauty series continues to be a fast paced, gripping story, and an exciting and steamy romance with plot twists that will have you on edge trying to figure out what will happen next. I was once again stunned at the end and can't wait for the last book of this trilogy, Dangerous Games!
