Publisher's summary

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.

Contains mature themes.

"With Playing with Fire, Eden gives her loyal fans a fantastic, perfect finale for the Phoenix Fire series." ( RT Book Reviews)

Playing with fire: Phoenix Fire Series, Book 3.

I will say that obsession is the key to the relationship seen in this book. That's the word that sticks out to me about this book. Dante is fascinated with Cassandra even when he doesn't remember her. He's a Phoenix and when he dies, he loses his memory but never the pull to her. He'll follow her to the ends of the earth. For reasons he did not quite get, and why so, nor slowly to come to understanding facts about his actions. The reason why he used her to get to the other Phoenix also succeed in betraying her trust. He realized if he did not try enough and sacrifice more for those; he loved he would lose her. Cassie is trying so hard to right the wrongs of her father. There has to be a cure for what he did to his victims, and she will do anything to help them. She thinks Dante is the key, but every time he dies; he loses his memory of her. She's been in love with him since she was eight years old and her heart breaks every time, he forgets her. I like the twist to this story. Dante has a dark side, and he's willing to do anything to keep Cassie. He's cold and you can't tell if his obsession with Cassie is just possession or more. When he dies and rises again, you never know what he's going to be like. I loved it!

Such a delight

I was worried this would be a crap shoot but boy was I delightfully wrong! LOVED IT!!!!
