Dirty Wife Games (Indecent Games, #2)

(Can be read as a standalone)

I remember Hyun from the Wicked Bride Games and was surprised to find out that this book was about her since she played such a little part. But since many of those ladies ended up having fatal endings, I guess it makes sense.

The story is about Hyun trying to escape her abusive husband. The husband that her parents sold her to. She can’t even call the cops because they are in his pocket.

As she lives her life cautiously, she notices her stalker. This stalker leaves her notes and letters in various places. But instead of feeling fear, she feels protected and safe.

For me, her stalker was…. a stalker. I didn’t really find his qualities attractive. But I did like the steamy scenes and suspenseful moments. I also enjoyed the great twist at the end.

This is Book 2 of Indecent Games Duet.

This is the story of Drake & Hyun. This story will definitely hold your attention for the duration. This is one of those stories where you get a shocked surprise at the end. You only understand it all then. It is full of angst on Hyun’s part. All that you experience throughout this book will intrigue you to keep reading. It is such a different read than what I expected. I was enthralled with it. This is a great read. It deserves much more than a 5 rating. Love Clarissa Wild’s books.

Clarissa Wild certainly knows how to write a twisted, dark book. Dirty Wife Games Is about Hyun. She has been sold by her parents to marry a tyrant. Hyun wants out, and Drake wants to touch her. Their forbidden love is hot, steamy and so desirable. I loved everything about this book. I had to listen to it non stop. Clarissa Wild takes us into the dark and twisted world of Hyun and Drake. Be prepared to not know which way is up, or even breathe. This is one rollercoaster ride to jump on!!

Kai Kennicott and Wen Ross have such chemistry. They make this story hotter and add the steam. I could listen to them all day. I enjoy their narration. Wen Ross makes Drake so swoon worthy. Kai Kennicott brings out Hyun’s fears, strength and desires. The narration brought this book to life and made it much more enjoyable.

As stated, this book can be read as a standalone. The heroine does have a part in the first book but this one is completely different and barely brushed the topic of the first one. The plot is also very different than the first.

I don’t really want to give too much away but Hyun was forced to marry a man that she did not love and he did not treat her well. She has left him in order to seek a better life for herself. However, he’s never far away and continues to insert himself in her life.

Drake has been in love with Hyun since they were little kids. They never met but he always had his eye on her. No matter what she did and no matter where she went. In true stalker fashion. When the two do finally meet, sparks fly and so does one very twisted game.

I will admit that I did struggle with the pace of the book in the beginning. I felt like it time jumped too often and was kind of difficult to keep up. I don’t know if I struggled to keep up based on the frequency or because I wasn’t able to fully commit to it. However, towards two thirds of the way, it started to stabilize a little more and the flow was much easier to follow. Not only do you have the time jump, you also have dual POV, which I actually enjoyed. I’m glad that we go Drake’s side as well.

I also straddled the line of how I accepted how much of a stalker Drake was. In the end, everything makes much more sense but at first I was conflicted. I shouldn’t have liked it as much as I did but there was always a piece of my mind that kept telling me that it’s creepy and I should not enjoy it. For me, that was one of the best parts of the book. It pushed me close to my comfort zone and made me think. Made me feel. So kudos to you, Clarissa for making that happen.

Overall, I enjoyed the book. Don’t let my rating fool you. If you like books that push you and kind of make you think “WTF” then this is absolutely the book for you.
