He’ll play dirty to get what he wants… Willow Cavanaugh would be happy if she never saw cocky football star Nick Hamilton again. Sure, their fling was the hottest she’d had, but he’s way too much of a playboy to settle down with one woman. Plus, she’s got her heart set on a piece of real estate for her catering business—and Nick owns that property. Nick may be at the top of his game, but all he wants is a second chance with Willow. When he offers to sell her his commercial space if she agrees to a series of dates with him, their chemistry is so scintillating that jumping back into bed seems like an inevitability. But Willow’s decided all’s fair in sex and blackmail. Little does she know, Nick’s playing to win…and she’s the prize.
I'm so glad I
decided to start reading this amazing series. Game For Marriage had me
interested, but Games For Trouble had me hooked!
Willow
Cavanaugh and Nick Hamilton have history. It's not your typical daisies and
flowers type of story either. Let's just say that Nick crushed Willow's heart
at young age of 19 and she's never been the same. The heartache of losing your
first love will always do that to you. Strange that a couple of years later
they happen to run into each other and all of those feelings come flying back.
The feelings hadn't left, they were just hidden under everything. Nick will try
everything in his power to get Willow back, he will even resort to blackmail if
he has to. Willow won't easily give in especially when she holds that breakup
so close to her heart.
These two
first caught my eye in Game For Marriage. Always sneaking around and being
pretty vague about what was going on between them. So when I found out that
Mrs. Erickson had decided to do their story next, I was beyond thrilled! Not
only do we get an insight as to what really happened between the two, but we
also see the development of where they are headed. Willow is as stubborn as
ever and I completely adore her. She tries to fight as much as she can, but
honestly, you can never forget your first love.
The roles were
reversed here, in the sense that the guy was the one pinning after the girl
instead of the girl drooling for the guy (which there was some of that too).
Willow is a strong character with pride and you can't blame her. How she was
able to resist him for so long is still beyond me. Nick was such a fantastic
character to read, he never gave up on what he wanted and his main target has
always been to get back with Willow. I highly recommend reading Game For
Trouble if you are looking to read a hot steamy read.
I've been eye balling this one for awhile, glad to see it was good!! Will have to pick it up :)
