Dangerous Games has honestly been one of my favorites by TK Leigh!! The characters , the story line! I was swept away and never wanted to stop! It was like two stories strategically weaved into one! Dangerous Games is absolutely brilliant!
Ok before I say anything else-first you need to read the previous books in this series before this one. They all seem to build upon that first one in some way, shape or form. At least the very first one because that one also had this couple in it! With that being said, we finally get the whole story of Asher and Izzy! Izzy used to be engaged to Asher’s brother Jessie. And when the engagement ended, so did any relationship she had with any of his family. But when they run into each other in Vegas (Dating Games) they take advantage of the blackout and explore the feelings they have always had towards each other. But when the light of day hits, she runs home. And now that time has passed, Jessie asks her for help and she is pulled back into their world. And she has to figure out whether to just stay “friends” with Asher or whether what they could have is worth any damage to his relationship with his brother.
I definitely liked this one! There is a lot angst and heartache between these two. And it will take you on an emotional roller coaster with them. Asher and Izzy seem like they would be perfect for each other if only they could step out of their own heads long enough to realize it. It just takes them a while to get there. That was my only drawback with this story-sometimes they seemed almost wishy washy with each other to me. Other than that though, a solid love story that kept me reading!
TK Leigh is an amazing writer and I know every time I pick up one of her stories, she will entertain me for hours! Dangerous Games was no different.
Both Izzy and Asher were fantastic characters. Their story will pull at your heartstrings and you will feel every single emotion they feel. This book picks up one year after the prequel Mind Games. (It’s not necessary to read it, but it does add to the overall story.) Izzy hasn’t had it easy whatsoever. But feelings are impossible to stop. What do you do when you fall in love with your ex fiancé’s brother? You’ll just have to read the story to find out!
This book was AMAZING! The angst, the tension between the hero and heroine, and of course the love will make Dangerous Games one of the best books I read this year.
Mind Games was just the beginning of this amazing story. There is so much more to Izzy and Asher’s story. The events in Dangerous Games take place a year after Vegas when Izzy and Asher part ways. Expecting to never see each other again, they go about their hum-drum lives until they are thrown back together by, of all people, Jessie. Asher has been blocked artistically and Jessie, inspired by Grams, contacts Izzy to see if she can help “unblock” him. Initially she refuses but circumstances beyond her control force her to take Jessie up on his “offer” and off she goes to Gram’s lake house to Asher’s utter surprise.
The main obstacle between Izzy and Asher has always been Jessie. Neither of them want to hurt or betray him. There is so much that is uncovered and the road to get there is full of deceit and secrets that it’s one super bumpy ride. It seemed everyone was hiding something very important that completely threw things off course. I don’t want to spoil it but someone’s secret was a doozy. I was not expecting that one.
I enjoyed everything about this story. The love triangle, the wonderfully hilarious grandmother, and the story that came out of Izzy trying to find her biological mother. That story was so heartbreakingly beautiful that it had me in tears. T.L. Smith knows how to weave a story that will keep you so completely invested and totally consumed with the plot and the characters. Absolutely fabulous!
Before I start to read anything by T.K. Leigh I know to be prepared. Be prepared to experience something out of the norm for a romance book. I know she is going to take me somewhere I may never had been. She is going to educate me on some things going on that maybe I had no clue about, or very little knowledge of. I know that she is going to twist me. Her story is going to shake me to my core and have me deep in my feelings. With every page that I turn I must be prepared to be shocked, surprised, invigorated, motivated, reborn, etc. You get the idea I am sure.
With Dangerous Games I can say, she made that journey one hell of a ride. Not just up and down motions, but round and round, leaving me dizzy at times, and lost at others. Lost in a way that made me want to turn that next page, because only through continuing the story could I finally get the peace I needed. See, this is a story that enveloped me. It made me sit up and realize that life is not all black and white. With this story I found that even the greys were shaded differently. And through it all, I was so amazed that I could be on this ride.
Going into the details of our characters would not be fair to you. Feeling what Izzy endures, recognizing her fears, watching her grow as a woman in life and in love will have your heart warm and your nerves wired. Watching Asher come to grips with his emotions and fight for the one thing more important to him than his own life, is gripping. As we hear people say “the battle is real.”
The push and pull of their battle is nothing compared with the completeness of this story. This is not a simple book. Parts of it will touch your spirit, others will knock you on your butt. We really learn that family is not blood only and as I read I was fighting right along side the members to find closure and resolve for our main characters.
T.K. Leigh, I remember your excitement with this story. And I must say I was not prepared for what I read. But OMG, did I gobble it up and hang on for the long ride. And what a ride it was. Little did I know that that excitement would be so infectious. This story is one of my best to have ever read and there are not enough stars to rate it. Bravo!!
Asher and Izzy’s story is absolutely one I could not stop reading. The story flows with feeling, passion, secrets, hurts, pain, forgiveness and love. Tk Leigh never fails to amaze me at how she can pull me in and have me so emotionally connected with all her characters, even when I don’t want to be. You think everything is black and white, one way or the other, and bam a little curve is thrown at you. There are lots of little curves that will make you swoon, fall and fall hard for Asher York.
Dangerous BURSTS of EVERYTHING!
This story is unstoppable, gripping with so darn many feels that push you non-stop to the edge of your seat with a wicked desire to read it all over again. It’s intense, edgy on steroids, sensually yummy, heartfelt, exciting with mind blowing drama. The writing is incredible and unfolds at a nice steady pace with explosive twists that over take your mind and hit all your senses. A perfect read that bursts from the pages and demands to be read.
I absolutely loved this storyline!! I was dying to get the rest of their story after reading Mind Games and it is amazing! The angst of the back and forth between Asher and Izzy; will they pull through and stay together or will she lose him forever? Throw Jessie into the mix and an adorable meddling grandma and you’ve got one hell of a wild ride, until it comes to a stop and you have to decide if you want to get off or continue the ride. I was rooting for Asher big time!!
“Tell me to stop.” His words come out like a growl. “Tell me we can’t do this. That this is wrong. That this isn’t what you want.”
I peer into his fevered eyes, shaking my head. It is wrong. We shouldn’t do this. But that doesn’t diminish the truth. “I want this. I want you. So much.”
I love all of TK’s words and this book is no exception!
I have been a fan of Leigh for years and this book hit every note I needed. Between the passion and angst, this book hit it out of the park for me! The suspense aspect added an extra level to the story that made it so I could not put the book down. The draw between Asher and Izzy is just wow. The passion and the depth of emotions keeps you fully engrossed in this story. I was up and down in the feels, between such highs to your heart being ripped out. But Leigh builds you back up and makes you all whole. I was absolutely blown away by this story.
As a whole, this book hits everything you need in a story. I couldn’t put it down once I started. All I can say is this is a book that needs to be read. It is hard to describe anything about this book without wanting to scream from the roof what exactly happened!
Dangerous Games ( The Dating Games Series) by TK Leigh is the story of Isabella aka Izzy. On a trip to Vegas she ended up sleeping with her ex fiancee’s brother Asher. They had been close for years and what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. A year later Izzy’s ex Jesse ask her to spend time with Asher to help him get past his writer’s block so he can record his album. Unbeknownst to Jesse he doesn’t know about Vegas and he still wants Izzy back. The relationship between Izzy and Asher is everything. He is the ultimate dream. They do love each other and the sexual tension between the two of them is off the charts. There is just the issue of Asher’s brother and Izzy’s ex Jesse. Izzy knows how close they are and doesn’t want to ruin their relationship especially since Jesse is Asher’s manager. This is the story of them trying to fight their feelings for each other. I loved them and couldn’t get enough of Asher and Izzy. Their journey to each other was the best one I have been taken on. I was wanting them to be together because together they were as they said in their bubble. I would love to be in a bubble like theirs. But like any bubble it eventually will burst. Really good read for me. 5 stars all the way
Such a well written romance read. Leigh’s writing captures you in a way that very few can. Great flow to an incredible storyline that you can’t help but feel a part of. Asher and Izzy characters and chemistry will come to life on these pages and have you sharing in their forbidden and emotional relationship.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
T.K. Leigh brings the chemistry and the angst in this amazing standalone. The journey that this couple takes- sort of friends-to-lovers, second chance- makes you root for them even when things seem so complicated. A suspenseful subplot, a little heartbreak and a lot of swoon helps to make this story hard to put down.
All the feels! Second chance is one of my favorites.
I’ll admit this story didn’t pull me in right away but I’m glad I kept going!
Asher and Izzy’s journey was push and pull and push and pull some more..all the angst!
And that Grams…love her!
Don’t miss out on this one!
Phenomenally perfect! This story will play at your heart and make it sing! Beautifully written, prepare to have ALL the feels with Dangerous Games as you are on Izzy’s journey. It vividly paints the story; every emotion, every heartache, every moment of hope and love.
I have been waiting for Izzy and Asher’s book for a while. I knew for sure that they would burn my socks off with their chemistry and attraction.
I wasn’t wrong in what I had expected from these characters. I definitely got more than what I expected. Their story, both past and present, is definitely filled with angst and sexual tension. They were destined to burst at some point.
The personal revelations in this book left me with a smile on my face. I love that although each person takes responsibility for their own actions, they all can also accept that each one of them played a part in a chain of events that shouldn’t have happened. Not many authors give their characters that much character. Usually fingers are always pointed. So kudos to Leigh for giving these characters such great qualities.
Overall, this is a good book filled with love, love lost, regrets, redemption, and forgiveness. It did move a little slow for me, but I still enjoyed it from start to finish.
Dangerous Minds is a slow burn romance. Asher and Izzy are the couple that should have been together since the very beginning. However, certain situations held them back from having what their hearts truly deserved. My heart hurt for these characters but it was worth it in the end.
I really enjoyed their story. The slight suspense to the story of Izzys background was an additional plus. I was really curious as to why she did what she did. She is a character of strength and determination and I admire that. Asher was another great character who you cant help but fall in love with.
I am really enjoying this series of interconnected standalones. I can’t wait to see what is going to happen with Nora’s story!
T.K Leigh has yet again wrecked me and taken her readers on a rollercoaster ride of emotional angst. Asher and Izzy’s story was everything, so beautifully written so emotional and so unexpected. This truly is a second chance story with a difference. Friendships family and betrayal play a huge part of this book however the love longing and passion shine through. I know some readers won’t like the forbidden element but please give it a try because the way it has been written you will see the difference bewteen the brothers and the love she has for each.
What’s a woman to do when she’s in love with a rocker and her ex-fiancé is his brother. This story has all the feels. It will make your emotions run high and low. Asher is the perfect book boyfriend. He’s so sensitive and knows how to treat a woman. Izzy is the lucky recipient if she lets him. Asher is so swoon worthy.
Review copy was received for a honest opinion.
So many angsty jaw dropping stars for this book! Lord, but I was HOOKED on this book. I mean could not put it down had to know what would happen HOOKED! So much emotion. So much turmoil. So much passion. Whew! I was on constant overload with Asher and Izzy and I loved every second of it!
Passion seems like such an understatement with these two. What they have is love magnified to the extreme. There was so much standing between them but nothing could break that connection. Everything that these two go through seems to ultimately just make them stronger. Even when it did feel a bit like my heart was being ripped out I just knew it was going to be put back together. And it was, more beautifully than I could have imagined.
Dangerous Games was great! Such a wild ride that keeps you on your toes. Isabella dated Jessie but had feelings for his brother, Asher. So she walked away from both. I loved Asher, he was so swoony and knew what he wanted at all cost. Izzy was strong, smart, fun, sweet and just a beautiful woman. I loved all the characters. Such great friendships. This was a sweet and emotional story with lots of push and pull. There’s a mystery going on that was very interesting. When you hear boomerang or origami dove, it will affect your heart. Just remember “Home is four walls and a door. It’s a feeling.” I’m looking forward to Nora’s book, Royal Games.
