He was my obsession. Haunting my dreams, reminding me of my past. He was the one whose heart I destroyed.Pierce Lykaios was everything I could want: captivating, cunning, and controlled. He understood my darkest desires and took pleasure in feeding my every craving.And when I walked back into his world, it was my fault for letting the first touch lead to a second. And a third. I shouldn’t have … a third. I shouldn’t have let him reawaken my need.
Now I’m caught in his grasp with no hope of escape, unable to forget, unable to stop.
He says this time I won’t leave him. I won’t forget him. And I’m afraid he’s right.

My Rating: 4.7 stars ******
Amelia Nephus Thanos is a former Olympic Gold Medalist in taekwondo and is a single mom to Christopher after the death of her husband, Stavros. She is best friends with Persephone Kipos and she is currently running the Thanos empire and knows she must keep her secret safe so she can hold onto the company that belonged to Stavros.
Pierce Lykaios runs sporting events through the company he owns along with his brothers, HPZ Holdings. He is dubbed “Master of Games” by the press being a former Olympian himself and he has never gotten over losing Amelia, no matter how hard he tries.
When Pierce discovers Amelia’s secret will he use it to his advantage? Can Amelia convince Pierce to help her or will she lose it all trying to do it all on her own?
This is another great book in the series and I can’t wait for the next one. I think we need to find more brothers so that the series never ends!
Amelia was a great character and I loved her friendship with Persephone but I was disappointed that she kept a certain secret for so long. You know that the secret will come out but you don’t know how or when and what all of the implications are at the beginning of the book. I was curious about her relationship with Collin Lykaios, Pierce’s father, as none of the brothers had a relationship with him. It made me wonder what was going to happen as you knew certain things that had happened but I wondered why certain relationships were occurring.
I liked Pierce and I understood why he was so mad after receiving a magazine from Collin. There was so much that had happened in the past that resulted in things the way they were. There was also a more mysterious and dark side to Pierce that Amelia knew about and I was waiting to see how that would go. I really liked Pierce and I understood why he was not willing to give into all of Amelia’s demands.
There was so much between Pierce and Amelia from the past that had never been addressed which ended up turning into the present. I liked when Amelia went into the Ida and things between her and Pierce took off and so did the heat!
I was a little mad and frustrated with Astros Dukas trying to bring down Amelia and what Amelia was willing to do in order to hold onto the company. It was super interesting to see how different people came together to work together to help her out!
The end left us with a little mystery regarding Stavros’s death and I was very happy with how it all ended!
Can’t wait for the next book!
I received an ARC of this book so I haven’t read book 1 yet, but after this I’m definitely gonna go back and read it! This book was HOT! And I love 2nd chance romances. I would absolutely recommend this book for anyone that’s not squeamish with steamy sex scenes!
Ladies, the Master of Games, Pierce awaits you!!! I loved book one in this series, Master of sin, but I might have loved this one just a little bit more. You can read these both as a stand-alone, but I suggest you read them in order.
Pierce and Amelia’s story pulled me in and I couldn’t put it down. I loved all the layers to their story, it’s rawness, and their sizzling chemistry together. These two set the pages on fire with their kink. LOVED, LOVED, LOVED!!!
Happy Reading Everyone!!!

WOW! I couldn’t wait to read Pierce and Amelia’s story after their debut in Master of Sin. All I can say is that they exceeded my expectations of their story. Master of Games has two strong lead characters, in more ways than one, with Pierce and Amelia. A love that started years ago had to be put on hold. Sexy, steamy scenes. A visit to one of Pierces clubs (hot). I just love every character that Sienna Snow writes. I can’t wait to read Zach’s story and hope there are more spinoffs from some of the secondary characters.
Pierce and Amelia have a painful past. Pierce is the alpha male bad boy that you swoon over. Amelia is a strong personality to match him. A steamy hot and sexy read that I recommend. Looking forward to the next book.
When they were both 18, Pierce Lykaios thought Amelia Nephus was his destiny, but she left him and married Stavros Thanos and they had a son shortly after. Pierce couldn’t believe that Amelia was sleeping with him and Thanos at the same time. Years later, Stavros died in a boating accident and Amelia took over his multi-billion-dollar international shipping company so her son would have a legacy when he was old enough to run the business. Then Pierce finds out through his estranged father that the boy is his and that Amelia didn’t leave him willingly, she was forced. So Pierce decides he will do everything in his power to win his family. But Amelia isn’t the same person she was at 18. She’s had to transform herself into someone the Thanos family would accept and she’s not sure she wants to give up her son’s legacy so easily.
This book is JAM PACKED with everything I love in a romance novel! Pierce and Amelia’s story is MORE than anything I ever expected! Second chance romance, enemies to lovers, secret baby! It’s all here and it’ll melt your heart and hit you in the all right places! I thought I loved Hagen but oh man Pierce is just flipping AMAZING! Amelia is one bad ass woman who I love! Snow creates heroines that are strong and I find I can easily identify with them and it makes the story that much more personable.
This is the second book in the Gods of Vegas Series. I loved the first book, and I love this one, as well! Amelia and Pierce fell in love years ago, and due to outside forces, they were separated. It is now ten years later, and circumstances have brought them close to each other. The love and attraction are still there, but secrets and misunderstandings may keep them separated forever. Amelia and Pierce are quite likable, and are explosive together. I loved watching them rediscover the reasons that had once brought them together – they have great chemistry. I enjoyed the supporting characters, as well. I cannot wait for book 3 – Sienna Snow is one of my favorite authors, and she always tells a great story!
I loved the relationship and the connection between Amelia and Pierce, it was fierce and very very real and meeting up again after 10 years with the biggest secret ever the connection and love was still there burning even brighter. Amelia was such a strong woman I loved her and Pierce the love in his heart was so powerful. So well written and a great second chance.
Sensational and Sexy, describes the story of Amelia and Pierce. They are drawn to one another, but can they resolve issues and anger from the past? Add in the exciting world of a Mixed Martial Arts and you’re spellbound!
I love Sienna Snow’s new series and the sensuality of it. Pierce and Amelia were both introduced in the previous book and it was clear they had a tragic and difficult past. When they are reunited, years later, and Pierce learns a life-changing secret that Amelia kept from him, both their lives change. It was clear that neither fell out of love with each other, despite the years they had been apart. However, they both changed in that time and need to learn how to deal the new Pierce and Amelia. Their attraction was still as strong but it took some time for them to trust each other again. Master of Games was steamy, sensual, and heartwarming.
What a ride with Master of Games, Gods of Vegas Book 2. If you thought book 1 was hot, book 2 is off the charts scorching hot. Pierce and Amelia have a history that isn’t finished and we get to see their reunion or should I say explosion when they get together. This is their second chance love story with more answers given to us as to why things had to happen in the past as they did. Plus we get to see more of Penny and Hagen as well as Henna and Anaya. There are still the twists and turns, the strong women, and the over protective men that all make for a great read!
Love this amazing series.Love Pierce and Amelias amazing beautiful addicting emotional intense heartstopping second chance.So ready for more
Pierce has always had a short fuse on his temper. Only one hand had ever stayed his beast. The same hand that sent him into a rage induced spiral that dramatically changed the course of his life. Now his dynasty is all about the blood and the sweat. The sweet taste of victory occasionally tainted by the salty tears of defeat. His job is to bring the best of the best under the big top magic that is Vegas.
Pierce’s character had me on the fence through a large portion of the story. Oh don’t get me wrong he is swoon-worthy and I really enjoyed his take no prisoners approach at life. But I can not count the number of times I wanted to smack some sense into him during one of his little tantrums (OK you probably can’t call them little). I will admit that by the end he had definitely redeemed himself. Watching him grow emotionally .. Be still my heart <3
Amelia, she is Greek Royalty by way of marriage. She is a fighter both in spirit and form. She is about to enter a fight that could cost her the one thing she treasures most.
A decade ago Amelia was forced to walk away from the one man who made her heart sing but she took a piece of him with her. Now it was time to come clean and does she have some skeletons in her closet.
Amelia is a powerhouse of a female lead. She doesn't bow to anyone, well there was one exception but that was a long time ago. She found a way to mold herself to appease her in-laws but she never forgot who she was.
This was an emotional roller coaster ride from the first page to the last.
Lots of angst, betrayal, loss, redemption - Master has it all and let us not forget the fiery chemistry that was Amelia and Pierce
So many secrets were unveiled and more pieces of the puzzle were put in place.
I have some answers but even more questions! And I can not wait for the next in series. I am thinking Zach is about to have his bluff called.
Loved this story. Loved to see them get back together and to see his dad try to make amends for what he did in the past. Wonderfully crafted.
A•R•C ~ I was given Master of Games: Gods of Vegas Book #2 by Sienna Snow as an Advanced Readers Copy (A•R•C) from Give Me Book Promotions. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book.
Master of Games is book #2 in the Gods of Vegas series by Sienna Snow, and it’s a great follow up to Master of Sin. Pierce and Amelia’s story was cut short by Pierce’s father’s threats to Amelia’s parents jobs, so being threatened she Amelia breaks things off with Pierce only to find out shortly after that she was pregnant with his son, 10 years later Pierce finds out the truth and wants his family and to dominate Amelia in the bedroom make her his submissive.
Great story with sharp twists and turns to keep the story interesting, amazing characters and of course our HEA.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
He was my obsession. Haunting my dreams, reminding me of my past. He was the one whose heart I destroyed. Pierce Lykaios was everything I could want: captivating, cunning, and controlled. He understood my darkest desires and took pleasure in feeding my every craving. And when I walked back into his world, it was my fault for letting the first touch lead to a second. And a third. I shouldn’t have let him reawaken my need. Now I’m caught in his grasp with no hop of escape, unable to forget, unable to stop. He says this time I won’t leave him. I won’t forget him. And I’m afraid he’s right.
Master of Games is the second book in this series. You have to read Master of Sins first or your going to be so lost.
Wow….this book will have you reading them without putting them down. Pierce and Amelia has such a history together and it’s not the best. It is hard to see how they can get past the past of their relationship. Now has come their second chance. These two have some amazing chemistry and will leave you breathless at times. These two have such a strong emotional tie to each other that it seems impossible for them not to be together. Sienna Snow has woven a tale of second chances that you do not want to miss.
