Spinetingling suspense and rewarding romance.
The final book in the Phoenix Three series is a spine-tingling thriller that follows Cooper, the last of the Phoenix Three, to find “the one.” Feeling like the odd man out as his two friends settle down, his world is suddenly upended when he receives a call from Kendall, a woman he spent one unforgettable night with five years ago — a woman he’s never been able to get out of his mind. Their daughter is missing… and since they didn’t exchange names that night, Cooper is shocked to learn the child is his. This sets him on a mission that embodies what the Phoenix Three stands for: rescuing and protecting children.
Sandra Owens delivers terrific action, and this book is packed with suspense, intensity, and heartfelt romance. I was immediately engrossed and found myself deeply invested in the characters. It’s a nonstop ride from beginning to end. Ms. Owens also handles heavier themes, including kidnapping and PTSD, with dignity and compassion. I couldn’t put this book down once I started reading. Although it can be read as a standalone, reading the first two books gave me a greater understanding of the bond between the three men and their partners — and those books are every bit as compelling and not to be missed.

There are very few authors who can completely immerse me in a story from the very first page. Sandra Owens is absolutely one of them. The moment I see one of her books pop up in my NetGalley queue, everything else stops. Sleep? Optional. Responsibilities? Questionable. I fully blame Owens for my chronic lack of bedtime discipline.
This is the third book in the Phoenix Three trilogy, and while all three have been riveting, I have been patiently (and not so patiently) waiting for Cooper’s story. Let me just say—it was everything I hoped it would be and then some.
Owens has a real talent for weaving intrigue and suspense into her stories without pushing it into uncomfortable territory. She gives you that delicious chill-down-the-spine feeling while keeping the balance just right. And the romance? Perfectly interwoven, never forced, and completely swoon-worthy.
Now the real question: where does one find their own Phoenix Three? And please tell me we haven’t seen the last of Bear and Hollywood—because those two absolutely have a story left to tell.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (and a very tired reader who loved every minute)
Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange from my honest opinion

First thank you NetGalley and publisher for providing me a copy of this book before it’s been released.
This is the third book and it started when Grayson, Liam and Cooper were taken themselves. They got rescued; and from there they agreed to keep in touch. What transpired next was to start a company known as The Phoenix Three. They will locate missing children. When Cooper gets a call telling him he has a daughter, and she’s been kidnapped he’s shocked. He drops everything to be with the woman he spent one amazing night with.
Kendall is beside herself with Olivia being taken. When Cooper arrives she’s happy, but feels guilty. All she wants is her daughter back.
Cooper tells Kendall she has a team behind her. They will find Olivia. When they do she’s distraught which is understandable with what she went through. What they find out is the person is after Kendall. They have to draw him out. He’s a devoted fan who listens to her podcast. So Grayson, Liam and Cooper are all over it. They won’t stop until they find who’s behind what’s happening.
A must read series. You must read in order.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book, given to me by Harlequin - Romance via Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
A story featuring relatable, lovable characters, “Dangerous Game”, by Sandra Owens, blends romance and suspense showing that dreams sometimes come true.
I loved the romantic plotline and how well Cooper and Kendall match. The chemistry and passion is still there and watching them turn into something deeper is wonderful. The new family with the little girl is sweet and natural.
The trust between them is captivating. The immediate connection between Cooper and Livie and his gentleness with her are wonderful, too.
I liked the sense of humor, the supporting characters, their stories and the friendship and affection within The Phoenix Three and their families.
The way Kendall’s trauma was handled was realistic and sober.

Loved this book! This is a fast paced novel that tells Cooper's story. In it, we learn about the night he met Kendall and they created their daughter. It was just a one night stand until Kendall saw an article with Cooper's picture in it...
The timing was fortuitous, as a few days later, their daughter was kidnapped. Cooper drops everything to rush to find his daughter. Along the way, both he and Kendall realize there's still a spart between them....but will it survive a situation that has Kendall fighting for her very life.
Fans of the genre will love this book. It's filled with action and romance, even as it tackles the tough subjects of child abduction and PTSD.
Put this at the top of your TBR list. While part of a series, this is a stand alone novel, however it's so good that you really owe it to yourself to read them all. The author is on my must read authors' list.

An exciting romantic suspense story. I enjoyed getting to know the couple and the little girl. Kidnapping was the theme of the tale. I did skip over the intimate scenes. Thanks to the publisher for providing a copy via NetGalley. My review is voluntary.
