THIS
KIND OF BUSINESS CAN ONLY BE PERSONAL
Sage
Reese lives for her job. More precisely, she lives for her debonair boss,
Parker Andersen. Sage handles everything for Parker, even as she fantasizes
about the one thing that isn't in her job description: him. But when a
high-stakes account crosses the line from shady to deadly, a tough cop starts
giving Sage the attention she wishes Parker would . . .
Detective
Dean Ryker couldn't be more different from Parker. While Parker wears expensive
suits like a second skin and drives a BMW, Ryker's uniform is leather jackets
and jeans . . . and his ride of choice is a Harley. While Parker's sexiness is
a reserved, slow burn, Ryker is completely upfront about what-and who-he's
after. And Sage tops his list.
Now,
as Ryker digs deeper into the dark side of Parker's business, Sage finds
herself caught between two men: the one she's always wanted-and the one who
makes her feel wanted like never before . . .

Once
again, I have finished a novel written by Tiffany Snow and I find myself
awestruck. Power Play, the first
installment of the Risky Business Series was everything I expected from the
talented Ms. Snow plus so much more. If
I had to sum up book one of this series, it would be The Kathleen Turner Series
on steroids. It's bigger and better than before with more drama, more
romance, and more suspense – just more of everything that I came to love in the
other series.
Instead
of two brothers, we have two former best friends. I say former because they both use to be in
love with the same woman – a woman who took her own life because she could not
stand to come between the two friends.
But what she didn't know is her death tore these two men apart more than
ever. These two men are Ryker, a police
detective, and Parker, an investment banker.
Both men are swoon worthy, but I must admit that Ryker has stolen my
heart. This man is the bad boy type that
I find myself drawn to who is sex personified and such a smooth talker. Yep, my heart is with Ryker. I’m not sure how I feel about Parker
yet. Yes, he is one sexy man, but I just
don’t know how I feel about him yet – so I guess you can say that the jury is
still out as far as Parker is concerned.
Then
we have Sage Reese, Administrative Assistant to Parker. She has been so in love with Parker since day
one of her employment and is obsessively dedicated to this man. She does everything possible to make Parker’s
work life flow smoothly. It’s not until
Parker comes under scrutiny due to a big investment deal involving some shady
Russian characters that Ryker is on Sage’s radar, and suddenly her love for
Parker is not so clear cut.
After all the drama and intensity that was never ending, book
one ends and it appears that Sage’s decision on which man she is going to
choose is pretty clear cut, but then in the final pages we learn that maybe,
just maybe, one of the two men wants much, much more than we previously
thought. So yes, we have a love triangle
which may turn some readers off, but I must say I loved trying to guess who
will end up with whom.
I
absolutely loved this book! I finished
this one in about a day because I just couldn't put it down. It kept me guessing throughout and I was
biting my nails because of all the high stakes drama that took place. This
well-crafted novel had a lot of suspense with just the right amount of
romance. There are plenty of twists and
turns that kept me engaged throughout. Tiffany
Snow hit it out of the park with this one and I can’t wait for Playing Dirty to
be released.
If
you loved The Kathleen Turner Series or just love a good romantic suspenseful story
with lots of high stakes drama and hot, steamy romance then you’re going to
love this new series.
