What a crazy roller coaster ride! I adored Naz and Eva and was rooting for them right from the start. Even if they were apart most of the book I still enjoyed this action packed conclusion. Eva was feisty and everything I love in a female character. Besides these two though, the side characters in the author's books always have me intrigued and desperate for more. As I had already read Cruel Paradise book 2 of the Beautifully Cruel series before this series, I totally fell back under the spell of secondary character Killian Black. 😏❣️
Sadly this book just didn’t grab as much as I hoped it would. I put it down and picked it up multiple times but I just couldn’t connect with it. Super bummed.
Out of this entire trilogy, I loved Dangerous Games the most. The suspense and my goodness, what Eva had to go through (my heart broke for her). She has endured so much by the end and remained strong. And I was beyond ready for Dimitri to be taken down, horrible, HORRIBLE man.
There's no doubt about the love that Eva and Naz have for each other. And they'll do anything to get back to each other. I was on the edge of my seat because the longer they were apart, who knows what Dimitri was going to do to her. And it's unimaginable.
A few other characters are mentioned quite a bit in this one and I would love to see their books, which I do think they have their own. So I'll definitely be checking those out next.
Some quick content notes/TW: if you've been reading this series from the beginning expect much of the same in this one. And this is not a standalone., it's the final book in a series surrounding the same couple.
This is the final book in a series of 3 combining adventure, dark themes, romance and suspense and brings it all to a satisfying conclusion.
Espionage, spies, secretive happenings, murder, kidnap and treacherous, torcherous suffering, are all wrapped up in this romantic escapade of a story.
True love, commitment and happiness, wins through, with a happy ever after ending in this romance.
The final chapter in Eva and Naz’s whirlwind story is here. After spending seven years under the thumb of a sadistic psychopath, Eva had finally been able to escape and found love and refuge with Naz. But Dimitri has caught up with the lovers and isn’t willing to forgive or forget Eva. The second book had ended in a cliffhanger with a standoff in Vienna. Will Naz and Eva be able to escape Dimitri’s evil clutches?
Another exciting and pulse racing read in this amazing trilogy. We find Eva stronger and more determined than ever to fight Dimitri and never go back to a life of slavery. And even though I love Eva and Naz and their relationship, I have to admit that for me, the real star of this book and even the previous one was Killian. I really really hope that J. T. Geissinger will write his story next!! A great and satisfying end to an amazing romantic suspense series! Not to be missed!!
This was a great conclusion for this series. The plot was fast paced, the romance plot excellent, and I really rooted for the characters. I’m
As much as I am very much excited with the conclusion to this series, it pains me that I have to put this book on hold and just finished much later because I was kind of bored and a bit dismay with how it goes.
Talk about your epic conclusions! This book was EVERYTHING.
I am not a trilogy reader. I tend to grow bored with the characters or find that one or two of the three books are stretched out fillers. I’m a picky a-hole is basically what I’m trying to tell you here. So I don’t tend to gravitate towards trilogies much these days. But when it comes to JT Geissinger’s books, we have an unspoken rule; she writes it, I read it. Period. But let me now tell you, if ever there was a story that was MEANT to be a trilogy, this was it. Each book packs its own punch and reveals a new layer, and I can’t imagine it having the same effect had it been written as one standalone.
I was equally anticipating and dreading the conclusion to Naz and Eva’s story. It’s rare where the conclusion lives up to the promise of the story for me. But this one not only lived up to it, it exceeded any and all expectations that I had. It was EPIC.
What I love about Eva’s character is that she’s a survivor through and through. She’s been brutalized at the hands of an evil man for over 7 years, but she didn’t let that define her. She’s no one’s victim. She’s fierce and a warrior and this book just proved how much. There is nothing that I love more than a fierce heroine that doesn’t need a knight in shining armor to ride in to save the day. This was very much Eva’s book and I LOVED that.
Everything comes to a head here when Eva ends up back in the clutches of Dmitri, the man she’s tried to outrun for too long. She knows that she’ll do anything to protect the man she loves, even if it means that walking right back into the lion’s den. This book proved just how much of a survivor Eva is. It also showed that even after everything that she’s been through, it didn’t change her heart. Geissinger throws you right into the deep end without sparing a detail. You get to experience the pain, darkness and evil right along with her.
While Eva is going through hell, Naz is going through his own. I don’t want to tell you much here and spoil anything, but I will say that while the romance is mostly predominant in book 2, it’s put on a bit of a back burner here. Eva’s survival and journey takes center stage and I loved that. There’s still plenty of emotional and romantic elements here, it’s just not the front runner.
This was a heart pounding, action packed conclusion that was an absolute page turner!! The perfect conclusion to an addictive trilogy that I loved from beginning to finish. I am also willing to beg on my knees for a book for Killian because OMG!!!! KILLIAN. GAH. This man and enigma steals the show with his every small appearance. I NEED his story. NEED IT DESPERATELY.
A sick man’s twisted dreams are something she no longer wants to be a part of since she left that part of her life behind. Trying to stay ahead of the enemy is going to keep her on her toes but it is something that drives her every thought. Only one thing in life mattered to her and making sure she achieved her dreams will make you realize the injustices she has triumphed over. This was such a great series! I laughed and cried through all of it.
Eva knows what it’s like to be imprisoned by a man’s twisted obsessions. But after running, hiding, and finding refuge in a rescuer’s arms, she’s suddenly pulled back into the black hole of her past. Kidnapped by her sadistic ex, Dimitri, and with the love of her life left for dead, Eva is facing down the worst of her demons alone.
If Dimitri wants to play sick games, Eva’s ready. She already knows how dark they can get. But despite her fears, she hasn’t been abandoned. Naz is in hot pursuit. And the last thing Dimitri expects is for a dead man to come calling. For Eva and Naz, worlds apart yet bound by fierce and unbreakable passion, it’s time to beat the devil.
I didn’t realize this was the third book in a series so the beginning had a me a lost. It didn’t take me long to get caught up though. It was a pretty good adventure to follow along to. I really liked it. I will most likely go back and read the other two. I recommend.

Dangerous series has been my favorite romantic suspense series.
I fell in love with Nazir. My heart got broken a couple of times with Eva.
These two are such a perfect couple that reading their story makes me feel I am part of the first time that they laid their eyes to each other, first lie, first kiss, first lovemaking and the first time that they would be apart.
As much as I hated Killian, thanks to his brother at the end, Dimitri is forever gone with their lives.
What a better way to end the story by ending it at the place that they met.
I hated saying goodbye to this series. Thank you for the chance to read the whole series: Montlake Romance and Netgalley!
And to you Miss J.T. Geissinger, I'm beyond grateful to you for writing Dangerous Beauty series. I can't wait for your next book!
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley.
Dangerous Games is book three in the series, and I"m pretty sure you should read the first two for this to make sense. I haven't read the first two... so I definitely was confused and missingt important pieces to the story.
Overall, the book was amazingly written.. it felt like an action movie in book form.
Pretty good conclusion to the series. Dimitri turned out to be just as sick and evil as I thought. I am glad the author didn't shy away from it. Eva is one strong girl. I don't know how she did it.
This is a great, adventurous book by a new to me author. I missed the first two, but it was still easy to follow. I'd like to read about the rest of the characters.
Wow! I can't fathom enough words to say how unbelievably awesome this story was. Poor Eva she goes through so much! Naz never gave up and made sure to find his way back to her. I adored them so freaking much and hope that we see more of them in the future. Now, on to Killian. I have to admit this "antihero" grew on me. I mean he loss some serious brownie points in the last book and though Eva took the high road and forgave him, I'm still a bit ticked off with him. However, there is such a mystery to him and Ms. Geissinger has me in knots wondering what is going to happen next. And that reveal about him? Like whoa! I really want to meet the other "him" now, Lol. I pray that Ms. Geissinger gives us a book about not one but two of them? Now that would be FREAKING AWESOME! A great fantastic read, filled with suspense, action, a fierce-heroine, her steadfast and super hero, our annoying spy, great secondary characters, hot intense love making, and the fact that Dmitri is smoldering somewhere, is really satisfying! Loved it! Kudos on a wonderful epilogue
4.5 Superior Man, Ghost, Thelma and Dudley stars*****

Eva once again has to face off with the evil Dimitri, can she contain her anger in the face of his sadistic wants, even though she saw her Naz shot. He must be dead, why should she continue to live without her 1 true love? You really need to read the previous books to understand how this all came about!
I read and reviewed this free advanced complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley
Ok, when I started this I didn't realize that it was book 3 of a trilogy following the same couple. That being said, I had already started reading the book and was sucked in and HAD to know what happened. It had great characters with lots of suspense and humor. Overall a good book, I will now have to start over and read the series starting with book one.
Dangerous Games is the perfect conclusion to this trilogy…fast paced, edge of your seat, exciting suspense. Evil that you could never imagine. And the strength of a woman so fearless, so loving and good…my eyes teared and I’m sad to see it end. Can I just ask for a Killian book please????? I have to see his HEA!!!!
This is a must-read series!!! 😍😍
DANGEROUS GAMES is the third and final instalment in JT Geissinger’s contemporary, adult DANGEROUS BEAUTY dark, romantic suspense trilogy focusing on former Special Ops military man and security specialist Nasir ‘Naz’ Mansouri, and Evalina ‘Eva’ Ivanova. DANGEROUS GAMES should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events and cliff-hanger of book two Dangerous Desires. 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.
WARNING: DANGEROUS GAMES contains scenes of obsession, sexual cruelty, slavery, abuse and torture, and may not be suitable for more sensitive readers.
Told from dual first person perspectives (Naz and Eva) DANGEROUS GAMES picks up immediately after the events of book two Dangerous Desires wherein Eva’s past has found our couple, leaving Naz wounded and dying, and our heroine about to face the atrocities of a man who believes Eva is fair game. Knowing what awaits her future, Eva battles between head and heart believing her lover is dead, and her ‘master’ is about to destroy what’s left of her world.
Naz Mansouri is dead, for all intents and purposes, but staying under the radar means having the benefit of no one looking for him as he hunts for Eva Ivanova. Along with Naz’s boss Connor and his wife Tabby (Wicked Sexy –Wicked Games), and Killian, a man with the ability to ferret our information and the whereabouts of our story line couple, Naz begins to unravel the clues, clues that will lead to the woman he loves.
DANGEROUS GAMES is a suspenseful story of power and control; of sexual obsession, ownership and cruelty; emotional and physical abuse; retribution and love. JT Geissinger pulls the reader into an energetic, heart breaking, raw and gritty story of entitlement and delusion with a strong heroine who endures more than anyone could have ever imagined.
