Advance Review - Playing with Fire

Playing with Fire
Cynthia Eden

I received an ARC of this book from the Publisher, via Netgalley, in exchange for an honest review.

This book is the third and final installment in Eden's Phoenix Fire series.

Books 1 & 2 Reviews

Despite the fact that overall, I liked the second book fairly well, I didn't realize how much it had disincentivized me towards reading the next book in the series. But, Playing with Fire just kept staring at me from my Netgalley shelf, and I was really kind of dreading actually opening it and reading. But I'm happy to say, I was perturbed for nothing. This book was a fantastic thrill ride. The dichotomy between Cassie who remember and feels everything and Dante who rarely remembers Cassie or much of anything- except for all the wrong things, was just heart wrenching for most of the book. There's strong attraction on both sides and they are thrown into action packed scene after scene.  There is a ton going on here, and we finally get resolution on Trace and what caused the Phoenix wars, on top of the very satisfying HEA for Cassie and Dante.

4 stars for a fun and sexy read.
