Cassie Armstrong feels she has to atone for some thing in
her life, mainly the fact that her father and brother were
evil researchers. They tortured without conscious captured
or tricked paranormals all in the name of genetic
research.
Her father even used his own children in experiments with
plans of making them stronger. Now Cassie wants to repair
the damage done by her family and save the lives of two of
her friends. She needs to find Dante, but she knows if the
Phoenix has died and risen she may be PLAYING WITH FIRE.
Dante, the first of the Phoenixes, the one they call the
Immortal, doesn't know what Cassie's story is, he can
barely remember his own name ... but when he sees her he
simply thinks ... mine. He does eventually remember the
little girl who eased his pain and the woman who haunts
his
dreams.
But someone else wants Cassie. There is someone who is
searching for her with plans to use her as his own test
subject to make himself stronger, faster. Dante must
protect what is his in anyway necessary. Can he get over
the usual Phoenix kills Phoenix deal to work with Cassie's
friends to keep her safe? He must overcome his past or
lose
the one person in the world who makes him whole.
PLAYING WITH FIRE is a fantastic, cannot stop read. Author
Cynthia Eden throws you into the action right from the
beginning and it doesn't stop until the last page. Dante
and Cassie are both messed up so they are perfect for each
other, once they air out their problems and the chemistry
between them ... well I guess you can say together they go
up
in flames. There are a couple of times when you were sure
Cassie was going to just kick his butt for him but things
work out when he better understands her and the reason she
feels she must save her friends and make up for her
family's past deeds. Not to give any spoilers away but the
ending comes as a complete shock ... something out of no
where that will have you saying ... how did she [Ms. Eden]
come up with that one? There is also the return of past
characters from her other Phoenix Fire books, which
I
personally love, so readers can see where they are
now. I certainly hope Ms. Eden plans a few more of this
series because I will be waiting to get my hands on them.
Cassie Armstrong has plenty to atone for. The daughter of
the most immoral researcher ever to pick up a scalpel, she's
determined to use her own brilliance in genetics to repair
the damage her family has done to the paranormals.
Especially Dante, the first of the phoenixes, the one they
call the Immortal. He's been haunting her dreams since she
was a little girl, and she's been trying to ease his pain
for almost as long. If only he remembered any of it. . .
Dante doesn't know what Cassie's story is. He almost doesn't
care. The minute he sees her, all he can think is mine. But
there's more to the pretty little doctor than meets the eye.
And Dante isn't the only one to notice. He can't trust her,
but he can't stay away--and if he wants to learn her
secrets, he's going to have to fight like hell to keep them
both alive. . .
