Just four chapters to set up a two-book series. Entertaining!
This short novel is the beginning of Elizabeth and Donovan! I love Laurelin Paige, all her books are captivating, intense and 5 stars of sizzling sex scenes!!
Elizabeth Dyson meets Donivan Kincaid when she’s out of options. No matter which way she turns she won’t have control of the Dyson empire before she’s 29 or she’s married. Id she waits until she’s 29 there may be nothing left if her cousin has anything to say about it. Kincaid offers her a deal she may not be able to refuse.
Is this about Weston or Donovan? There’s so much overlap and intersection between the two series that cover these two studs. What with the free prequels it’s too easy to get lost in the labyrinth. My suggestion would be to read one series at a time, but even I am failing in that regard. I want to know more! Like are the books HFN or HEA? Argh! The book is unpredictably suspenseful. What’s going to happen next? And then, and then? It stops. ARGH! WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!
Four stars cause I’m frustrated, and I have to know and the sequels are too far back in my purchasing queue! Sorry, my dilemma, not yours. Hang dog; shoulders slumped. Bummer!
3 1/2 stars
An introduction to the series in the form of a few chapters! I don’t really see the point in this, just include it in the first book of the series.
Elizabeth stands at her fathers gravesite contemplating how her life will be changing. Her father was never close to her his company was his first love. He’d been married several times and left her mother when she was only eight. She is going to be thrown into the deep end being the CEO of Dyson Media. Completing her MBA and surrounding herself with the right people was going to suffice. However things rarely go as we expect and Elizabeth is hit with a bombshell.
This was a great prequel to the Duet it gives us the back story on Elizabeth and how unfairly she was treated by her father and the choices she has to make are not going to be easy, and Westons play boy antics and the games he plays with the woman. I loved it.
Very quick prequel to give a little insight on how it (Weston and Elizabeth) all began!
Did you ever wonder how Donovan got Elizabeth into the office that day or where Weston was in his life to agree to the terms? Get a little sneak peak into the Dirty Sexy series with this book.
What a great introduction into the Dirty Sexy Player and Dirty Sexy Games Duet. I am so glad that Laurelin wrote this to give us insight into Elizabeth and how the story evolved.
This may be a short read but this book sure packs a mighty punch, it’s a very interesting read that gives us all an insight to Weston and Elizabeth’s story. Once again we find it’s Donavan Kincaid behind everything but you can’t help loving this man’s dirty controlling personality. In this quick prequel we get to see Weston at the top of his playboy ways and we see Elizabeth as an innocent young woman looking to ptprive she is capable of taking over her late fathers business.
This is the perfect start to the Dirty Ganes Series and it will leave you wanting more.
Loved this introduction to the Dirty Games Duet. Having already read Dirty Sexy Player, Book 1, I got a better sense of Elizabeth and what she’s thinking. Weston King is still ALL THAT in my book. I LOVE him! He’s sly, sexy, sinful and swoon-worthy! This quick read is a delectable little treat to get you off and running with this fabulous duet. And it’s currently FREE on Kindle! Grab it now!
Elizabeth never felt loved by her father and when he died she was relieved that she no longer had to deal with his desertion. She was never good enough for him and he left her mother because he didn’t “love her anymore.” She was shocked when her father left his company to her cousin instead of her but if she gets married, then the company would be hers. How can you get married if you aren’t even dating anyone? Elizabeth was determined to find a way out of this dilemma, one way or another.
Meanwhile, Weston was busy chasing women all over New York City and to him it was just a game; all fun, no commitment. He was a young guy and had no intention of settling down. He loves women, the chase and the satisfaction. But every now and then he wonders if this is all there is to his life and what could that mean for his future? Weston never wants to get married and end up like his parents who have stayed together despite all of their problems. His life is perfect. What could possibly happen to change his mind?
What happens when Elizabeth meets Weston? Is it love at first sight or does she detest his cocky attitude? All your questions will be answered in the Dirty Games Duet; Dirty Sexy Player and Dirty Sexy Games.
A great prequel to the Dirty Games duet!
We get a glimpse in to Elizabeth’s frustration at her late father’s conditions in his will and her futile attempts to find a way around them.
We also get a glimpse in to Weston and the player he is and the games he plays with his female prey.
And then there’s Donovan. The puppet master.
Loved this prequel!
Wow, what a perfect prequel to the Duet of Dirty Sexy Player and Dirty Sexy Games !!!
This really sets us up for Weston & Elizabeth’s Story.
omg i loved this, that DIRTY DIRTY Donovan Kincaid is always behind things and in this we see how he set the scene, I love this mans dirty controlling persona !!! I really liked getting to see Elizabeth prior to doing the “deal”. Reeling from the stipulations of her fathers will, we can fully get to understand her predicament.
Weston on the other hand is being true to his arrogant playboy self, womanising and no intention of ever changing !!
So what happens when Donovan’s plan of action is put into play????
Elizabeth and Weston didn’t really stand a chance lol definitely reading this makes their love story all the sweeter !!!!!!
