Fair Game

I assumed it would take a while to warm up to Shep because of the premise, but it was the opposite. He was immediately likeable and fun, but Jade was pretty hard to take. She was too rude and immature to win me over and for a lot of the story, my feelings towards her weren’t improving. But the more I thought about it, the more realistic she seemed. After all, she’s a nineteen year-old college freshman with minimal experience and Shep is from a completely different world. He’s older, rich, popular and a known player, so why would she take him seriously? It made sense that Jade thought he was using her but still struggled with her attraction to this gorgeous man. If she’d warmed up to him quicker, that would’ve made her a pushover.

This was a fun read and I loved the storyline. The fact that I liked Shep despite his callous behavior when they met was a nice surprise. The author created a guy worthy of a HEA right from the start. He did make mistakes, particularly one huge one, but he was so caught off guard by wanting this woman, his fears were understandable. That doesn’t excuse the way he hurt her, but he definitely made up for it, proving himself to her multiple times. I enjoyed Jade and Shep’s story very much and will probably check out the rest of the series.

This books has it all. Great characters, frirbidden romance, told in dual points of view and keeps you on your toes. Jade thinks she’s going onna date with her boyfriend but instead she ends up at a poker game. What she never sees xom I ng is hum putting her up imnthe pot as a bet. And then losing. Doesn’t take long for him to be me her ex but then first boy Shep wins thr game and her. He’s a rich good looking playboy and there just no way he can think he owns her after all. This guy could have anything he wanted but he wants Jade. I loved watching the two of them get closer and him actually desecing her attention!! This is one you dont want to miss

Enjoyed the way this was written in dual POV. The more she didn’t want him, the more he wanted her. It was good to read about a strong female would could get a player to change his tune…that he really wanted her. Good ending.

This is a nice diversion, easy to read, though there were some cringe-worthy moments, the characters were strong enough to keep me reading. Recommended for fans of the genre.

This book hooked me right from the get go. Dual pov, dark, taboo, forbidden, hot, well written, oh so good. Could not put down until I was finished.

Jade and Shep…

Their story is crazy and an rollercoaster
Rich boy meet broke girl..

It’s not her choice to be there but Jade her boyfriend takes her to this gambling place… another worst that can happen, happened she was the bet…

Boys should know better right? Never put your girl up to win your game…
That’s asking for trouble…

And Jade is in big trouble…

It was such an easy and fun read, it’s adult romance with explicit sexy smutty scenes .

I like it make me spend a good easy time but not really realistic

I did not feel there was much of a story here. This was just two college kids having a lot of sex.

I enjoyed it. Original plot that was funny at times but also took a serious look at issues that effect all those standing on the threshold of adulthood. Twenty somethings can easily identify with many of the issues presented in the text and hopefully gain an understanding that they are not alone with all the miriad of decisions facing them

After reading and enjoying ‘One week girlfriend’ and ‘Second chance boyfriend’ I decided to read another book from Monica Murphy. This time I choose ‘Fair game’, it’s the first book of ‘The Rules’ series.

And yes, this is another new adult book like there are so many others out there but I really liked it. Just like Drew Callihan from ‘One week girlfriend’, Shep Prescott has something vulnerable that I really like. Monica Murphy knows how to write her guys.

Shep Prescott is a man whore there’s no question about it. But it’s not his fault that he comes from a rich family, that he’s handsome and that all the girls on campus want to have sex with him. Well, not all the girls, there’s one girl that wants nothing to do with him. Her name is Jade Frost and the more that she rejects him, the more Shep wants her. But he soon realizes that Jade could be dangerous to him. Because she makes him feel things he has never felt before.

Jade Frost is mad. Not only on her now ex-boyfriend but also on Shep Prescott. How dare he makes a bet with her boyfriend about her. But the more time they spend together the more Jade has to confess that maybe she’s also one of those girls that fall for Shep Prescott.
But Shep confuses her too, she has never heard before that Shep spends so much time with a girl. Could it be that they share something special? Or is he just playing with her?

The story is told from both POV’s what I really liked. Normally I’m not a big fan of the man being a man whore in my stories but with Shep it didn’t bother me. Once he sees Jade, she’s all that he can think about. A fact that I applauded. I love stories where we can see how a character changes their ‘bad’ ways for love and that’s what Shep did for Jade. Jade was also a lovable character, she had her insecurities about her body and other things but they weren’t too big to distract me from the story. In fact those insecurities made her just more likable to me. In this story we also get to meet Shep’s nephew Tristan and his best friend Grade. Two characters that we can read more about in the following books in the series. They both intrigued me enough to want me to read their stories too.
