His Wicked Games by Ember CaseyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
ARC provided by author for an honest review.
3.5 Stars
The author did a good job with this book. It's difficult to write an entire book which mostly entails the event that happen with only two characters. There were times when Lily called her father and when her crazy ex showed up, but for the most part this story is about Lily and Calder.
Lily is determined to get Billionaire playboy Calder Cunninham to keep to the word of his deceased father in providing the funding pledgee to her father's Art Center. In her determination and single minded goal, she misses a lot of clues that would give her insight into what's happening with Calder. Calder in his pride keeps his position to himself, which reinforces Lily's thought he's selfish.
During a weekend long thunder storm, Lily is stuck in the Cunningham mansion where she and Calder play a few sexy games, telling each other its just sex. And it is HOT! But is that all it is. Is Lilly getting closer to what's really going on with Calder and is Calder right about what Lily is hiding from.
There were a really funny parts to this story and even more sexy parts. Although I understood Lily's desire to reach her goal, I thought she was the selfish one who only thought of things from her point of view. She had a lot of preconceptions about Calder and his stubbornness reinforced it, although he didn't realize it. He did have moments where he showed he was deeper than Lily thought. But it would only take her a moments thought about the Center to sweep her changing mind aside.
I would definitely like to read the sequel Truth or Dare to see if the author can keep up or improve on this first outing.
