The Game Lords Book 2
Becca Harrison is screwed. She never intended to get involved in an illegal eGaming scheme. The notorious Symphis demands she steal financial information from her brother’s gaming company. Refusal isn’t an option. To do the gamelord’s bidding she must get close—very close—to her brother’s best friend and business partner, Jake Allen. The man she’s burned for since she was in high school.
Jake Allen has been called many things. Sexiest video game CEO. Bad-boy. Player. The last thing he wants is to live up to his reputation with his business partner’s sister when Becca propositions he be her wedding hook-up. He’s wanted her forever, but the Harrisons are the only real family he’s ever known. One night between the sheets could ruin everything for him.
My Review:
I feel like I’ve been impatiently waiting for the continuation of this series forever, and it’s finally here! In this book we get up close and personal with Jake the grump. But that curmudgeonly personality is only a mask he uses to protect himself from repeating his parents’ mistakes. He’s deeply devoted to the Harrison family and will do anything to protect those relationships. Jake has been the gold standard Becca’s judged all dates against; her brother’s best friend and focus of her youthful infatuation. Now she’s caught in a trap and using Jake’s loyalty to her and her family may be the only way for her to escape it. I loved Becca’s snark and her refusal to dumb down her brilliance. I wasn’t as big a fan of her insistence that none of her “family” could help her with her situation, but I get the feeling that the author is leading us someplace in particular with this. These two are almost too much like each other and that causes fireworks in their every encounter. I loved witnessing their banter. Both are big personalities, and neither was very good at giving in. There are breadcrumbs here leading to more secrets and I’m dying to get my hands on the next book to learn them. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Hidden Gems Books.
