Blurb/Summary:
New
York Times bestselling author Lara Adrian returns to the sizzling,
emotional world of the 100 Series with Play My Game, a
contemporary romance between a tormented, brilliant painter and the beauty he
is determined to have at any cost.
She
stands out like a flame in the dark. Out of place in my orbit, she is a bright
splash of color in an abyss of darkness. An innocent in a den of sin. And I,
Jared Rush, am a master of corruption.
Like my
paintings—dark, carnal images that have crowned me the king of the avant-garde
art world while also making me a very rich man—I don't flinch away from my
baser instincts. And now, every one of those instincts is hungry for the
fresh-faced beauty who made the mistake of wandering into my lair.
I don't
know her name yet, but that's inconsequential. I know who she belongs to. And
while she has nothing to do with the bad blood that's been festering inside me
for decades, I can’t help thinking about that old, unsettled score. I'm
thinking about payback. And I already have a price in mind. One that begins
with her.
When it
comes to getting what I want, I always play to win. But in the end, will the cost
of my vengeance be more than I can bear to lose?
While
this novel is Book 5 in the 100 Series, featuring characters introduced in
earlier books, PLAY MY GAME can be read as a complete standalone with a
swoon-worthy HEA and no cliffhangers.
Review:
Play
My Game is a sexually charged and extremely intense read. Lara Adrian sets the
stage and pulls readers in with a dark and sinister plot, but her characters,
Jared and Melanie, take over with their vivid passion.
This
story was extremely hard to put down and I didn’t want it to end. Play My Game would
fall under the definition of a page turner.
Lara Adrian hit it out of the park with Play My Game. This 100 Series novel
has it all: the plot, chemistry between the main characters, character development,
past characters from previous stories making appearances throughout the story,
and a HEA.
If
you are a fan of the 100 Series, then make sure you don’t miss Play My Game!
I received an ARC for an honest review.
