4 - "Learn all my secrets." … "I offer them to you." Stars.

I am sad that we have reached the end of the Phoenix Fire Series. I have loved reading each and every one of these books, and Cynthia Eden is one of my absolute favorite authors, for books in this genre. I don’t think it is actually possible for her to write a bad book, no matter the subject.

"Maybe there are some things you’d rather not remember. There are sure things I’d prefer to forget."

Dante and Cassie first popped up in the second book in the series, and we were given a little taste of the fact that they had history, and not all of it was good. Although reluctantly for Cassie, they were on opposite sides of the battle lines initially, Scientist – Subject, but allegiances have now changed. Unfortunately, it is sometimes a little difficult trying to make a guy who potentially loses his memory every time he is reborn to remember that fact!

You really need to read the first two books in this series to really get the full benefit of this book; a lot has happened throughout the previous books and this really is the climax of the story as a whole, everything is tied up really well, all the questions are answered, and the epilogue is adorable, I would however have liked a little more on Ryder & Sabine in Playing with Fire.

I loved Dante, as much as I love Cain and Ryder (books 1 & 2), he is another uber alpha, not afraid to speak his mind, kill his enemies and protect his woman. He is also pretty hot (no pun intended) between the sheets too, which always makes for a stellar read!

"When I breathe in your scent, I ache.
When I kissed you, your taste had me maddened.
I look at you, and I think… mine.”

I can’t recommend this series or its author highly enough, you are always given the a full HD reading experience when you pick up a Cynthia Eden book, and as always this one is no exception.

"Remember me...”

This is the third book in the Phoenix Fire series and just builds on all the previous books . Fans of this author will be delighted to read about these characters who have entertained and thrilled readers since Ms Eden first introduced them. A fabulous plot featuring distinctly creepy government types willing to turn a blind eye to cruel experimentation in order to obtain super soldiers . Paranormals held prisoner for years, tortured and even murdered in order to obtain genetic materials that can be twisted and used to make hybrids. But amongst all this evil and unnecessarily cruel torture one young woman who will stop at nothing to reverse the damage done to so many innocents.
Cassie grew up in her fathers laboratories and knows just what a monster he really was. No he wasn't a paranormal but the atrocities and tortures he inflicted all in the name of science stole his humanity. Dr Wyatt didn't care who he hurt and happily used his own children in his experiments but it was his constant torture of the Phoenix Dante that haunts Cassie today.
Oo I've loved this series and I urge you to read the rest of it but for now it's all about Cassie and Dante . The two main characters are just so appealing but all along there's this very macho Dante claiming " mine " and it just gave me goose bumps. It's not exactly the usual declaration of love that authors give us but more of an old school "me Tarzan you Jane" kind of vibe but it really works here. Dante is as old as dirt and has died and risen so many times that he relies on his instincts and to me that made sense. Cassie is so much more than she realises but no spoilers here so all I will say is her tenacity and determination to right what she sees as wrongs made her a very likeable heroine. She's a very brave woman who has made mistakes but she's prepared to sacrifice herself if that's what it takes .
Well Dante is a Phoenix so any comments I make about this being a hot romance will obviously be cringeworthy so I will refrain and say that this is well written and a fabulous addition to the series . Is it the end? I'm not really sure as yes the Phoenix story might be told but there's still vampires and werewolves within this world the author has created. There's a sweet little epilogue to satisfy romantics such as myself and I truly enjoyed this book. I happily recommend this and if you haven't read this authors work before then now is most certainly the time to discover just how good she is.
This voluntary take is of a copy I requested from Netgalley and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fair

Good solid paranormal romance, there were no real new elements to this story at times I kinda felt I had read the story before at times. The story is well written and definitely entertaining.
