When a battle of wills becomes a game of lust, one wrong move could be fatal. Actress Stacy Roberts is ready to ride her rising star straight to Hollywood's A-list. All she needs is the famous Hollywood Hedonism party (check), one very naughty angel costume (check), and a few drinks to get her sexy swagger back (check, check). Tonight, she is not aching for her hot, hard-bodied ex. Or worrying about the threatening letters signed by "Your Worst Nightmare." For Detective Ian Ford, "nightmare" doesn't begin to cover it. Whatever demons prompted Stacy to cut and run have him tied up in knots. Worse, his ex is dressed to kill any man with a pulse, and Ian is seeing red. If Stacy wants trouble, she'll find it. Only Ian's going to make damned sure that the only trouble she gets is with him. There are no rules. They either both win, or they both lose. But this time, there's an extra player-one who's determined to make sure this is the very last game Stacy plays . . . Contains mature themes.… (mer)

Typical romantic suspense. Light on the suspense, heavy on the romance and falling a bit below standard with regards to the plot.

This novella follows the twin sister of Kylie from Lover Undercover. Apart from their initial meeting in the first book most of the relationship between Stacy and Ian is off page. By the time we catch up with them in this novel, they've dated for a year and split up six weeks earlier.

I was a bit disappointed with that, I really liked Stacy in the first book and I would've liked to see more of how Ian eroded her defences and convinced her to date him. Instead, both have been miserable for six weeks.

They reconnect at a Halloween party after Kylie tells Trevor and Ian about the stalker Stacy seems to have acquired. The stalker plot is pretty superficial but drives them to kiss and make up.

I think this was more enjoyable for having read the first one, but it definitely stands on its own for someone looking for a quick steamy read. 3 stars. ( )

Since I’m still new to the whole romance world, I feel like a bull in a china shop. I kind of stumble into reading books. Sometimes they’re awesome and sometimes it ends up being a dud. I guess that can really be said for all of reading, but I’m all over the map with the romances. I’m also still trying to sort through romance versus erotica, which is not fun when you pick up the wrong one.

I did not like Stacy, at all. I don’t expect characters to be perfect because that’s a bit ridiculous, but some aspect of them has to be likable. I read Stacey as a selfish, party girl who didn’t care as long as she got her way on her terms. Even the reasoning behind her decisions left a lot to be desired and I still didn’t feel much in the way of sympathy for her.

Ian was okay. I’m sure he’s a nice guy and totally swoon-worthy, but I didn’t get much of that impression in Wicked Games. To be honest it seemed like the biggest part of Stacy and Ian’s relationship was sex. That didn’t fly with me.

The story itself was okay. It might’ve been better if it had been drawn out a bit more, but I get that Wicked Games is a novella. I’m going to be completely honest, it seemed like the whole thing was written just for the sex scene. I’m not a fan of that because I love me some plot.

I didn’t particularly enjoy Wicked Games, which was disappointing because I pretty much love Samanthe Beck’s writing. I probably wouldn’t recommend Wicked Games, unless you’re a huge fan of the McCade Brothers series.
