Whenever I start a J.T. Geissinger book I know that I am going to be blown away by an amazing story, a hot Alpha male and the sassy, strong woman that will bring him to his knees. This is exactly what we received with Wicked Intentions. I FLOVED every minute of this book. It was fast-paced, filled with exhilarating action and SCORCHING sexy times. Ryan and Mariana had COMBUSTIBLE chemistry that would not quit. J.T. seriously broke the mold with Mariana and Ryan. They were amazing and I was left mind-blown and wanting more.

Wicked Intentions was the third book in the Wicked Games series. While it is a complete standalone I would recommend you read the prior two books in this series as there are recurring and familiar characters alongside Ryan and Mariana.

When Ex special-ops officer and security expert Ryan McLean meets a mysterious and gorgeous woman on vacation in the Caribbean, the attraction is instant and intense and his interest is piqued. But after a passionate night of pleasure, he discovers the beautiful woman has vanished, along with millions worth of jewels from the safe of the Saudi prince staying in the suite below him. When he realizes his mysterious woman is Dragonfly - a notorious and world wanted thief who used him - what follows is a game of cat and mouse where Ryan is on the tail of the mysterious woman who blew his mind and moved his heart.

I absolutely FLOVED this book. I was lost in Ryan and Mariana's passionate love story and adventure to stay one step ahead of each other and their quest to capture the monster of Mari's nightmares. I loved their sexy story and how Mari kept Ryan on his toes the entire time. It was fantastic and I never wanted it to end. It was seriously J.T.'s best book and I know it will stay with me for a very long time. Bravo! 5 stars! ~Ratula

If you're looking for a one-stop shop, this one has it all! Funny banter, plenty of steam and a nice little twist? A strong, sassy jewel thief of a heroine who is indebted to the mob and goes by the name of "Dragonfly"? A hot, possessive, protective, cocky, yet endearing and swoon worthy, ex Special Ops turned "security specialist" hero, who knows what he wants and isn't afraid to go after it Check, check and oh you betcha! Mariana might have thought Ryan was a means to an end (as well as an unforgettable one night stand), but hey, a girl has to do what a girl has to do, right? From the minute Ryan woke up, realized not only was Mariana gone, but had roofied him, and a priceless ruby had been stolen from a Saudi Prince in the suite above..... well....let's just say, the chase was ON! Are you interested yet? Because, let me tell you, I was totally intrigued, invested and probably wore a goofy grin from the beginning because of Ryan. Just one-click-it. While this may be part of a series, it can easily be read as a standalone.

This is an author that you want to read every book she writes; I have and not been disappointed. The Wicked Games Series is phenominial... Really!

This book was a page burner for me. Ryan an expert at just about every thing he does and Mariana a beautiful, sexy woman who is a master at her profession, who Ryan falls madly in love with at first sight! I know it sounds cheesy, but Geissinger's spin on it makes it work. The plot begins and the jewels are stolen, now what? It is a great hot mystery and you'll be hooked for sure.

Enjoy this book and the rest of Geissinger's books, you will not be disappointed!

I am SO loving this Wicked Games series; every book is so excellent! Ryan was introduced as a secondary character in the last book. He's an ex-Marine who works for his best friend's security company, which is now primarily doing extractions (of kidnapped persons, etc.). He meets Mariana on a Caribbean island. He'd come there for his best friend's wedding; Mariana was there to rob the wealthy Arab in the suite above Ryan's. The only access to the target suite was by climbing up from Ryan's balcony.

I am so loving this series! Ryan, a very alpha male, was introduced in the last book. He is an ex-Marina who now works for his best friend's security company. Mariana is an accomplished international thief. They meet on a Caribbean island. Ryan's there because of his best friend's destination wedding. Mariana's there to steal a valuable ruby necklace, which belongs to a couple in the hotel suite above Ryan's. The only access to that suite is by climbing up from Ryan's balcony. Mariana had no intention of sleeping with Ryan, but their chemistry is so combustible that she can't resist. Then she meant their encounter to be only a one night stand, but Ryan had other ideas. Mariana's tragic backstory is revealed gradually. You can't help feeling such compassion for her, as she's caught in such tangled circumstances. You have to admire her courage and deep loyalty. Ryan, even before knowing her background, never gives up on her, determined that they will be together. This one has everything: a hot hero, a strong, independent heroine who can take care of herself, tenderness and romance, sexy scenes, danger and suspense that really keeps you guessing. There was a major revelation late in the story that shocked me; I really didn't see it coming. This book can be read as a stand alone, but the reading experience will be richer and more meaningful if you read the two earlier books first. I highly recommend this entire series. I hope the author has more sequels planned, with Juanita's story coming next. EXCELLENT.

I am SO enjoying this excellent Wicked Games series. Each book is so great. Ryan was introduced in book 2. He's an ex-Marine now working with his best friend's security company. Mariana is an accomplished international thief. They meet on a Caribbean island. Ryan's there for the best friend's destination wedding. Mariana's there to steal a fabulous ruby necklace from the wealthy Arab staying in the suite above Ryan's. The only access to the Arab's suite is by climbing up from Ryan's balcony. She had no intention of sleeping with Ryan, but the chemistry between them is so combustible she just couldn't resist. But she thought it'd be a one night stand, and she'd ever see him again. Ryan had other ideas. Mariana's back story, which is gradually revealed, is shocking and tragic. You really feel compassion for her and admiration for her steadfast loyalty. The story is filled with tenderness, danger, sexy scenes, romance, and so much suspense. The major revelation near the end of the book totally shocked me. I really didn't see it coming. This book can be read as a stand alone, but will be richer and more meaningful if you read the two earlier books first. I so hope that the author is going to continue this series, hopefully with Juanita's story next.
