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.

Master of Games by Sienna Snow is book 2 in the Gods of Vegas Series. This is the story of Pierce Lykaios and Amelia Thanos. I have read the previous book, but feel this can be a standalone book if you wish to do so.
Pierce and Amelia where young and in love but they were pulled apart when someone didn’t want them together. Now about 10 years later, Pierce never forgot or forgave Amelia for leaving him. When he learns a new secret she kept he wants to hurt her professionally. Amelia didn’t feel she had a choice all those years ago so she had to leave. Amelia did find a older man that offered to help her and he did until he recently died. Now Pierce and Amelia are facing each other again, sparks are still flying but they have to forgive the past to move forward.
3.5 but rounding
This series has more of a soap opera feeling, this is book 2 in the Vegas series and as it turns out for this particular brother it focused more on a bdsm prefferences the couple held.
There was no real conflict just the definition of their status as a family, my only reason for earning the half star is because of the strong characters it holds by this I mean a Japanese man and a Greek great gradmother who held but a few lines and yet won me over with their strengths. Otherwise this book held too many mundane instances for my linking.
As I have come to find in Sienna Snow’s books, a world of intrigue passion and lust with strong alpha heroes and nononsence heroines. This book is no exception. The story was an amazing read with Amelia and Pierce finding their way back to each other and trying to survive their past heartache to rekindle a future love. It makes you wonder if all can be forgotten and left in the past?
I am absolutely loving this new series by Sienna Snow. In this installment we meet Pierce and Amelia, these two are what teenage lovebirds were made of until it was abruptly and unapologetically taken away. I love that this is a trilogy because these brothers and their stories have so many layers to peel back.
Pierce is what alpha males are made of and Amelia is a Boss that is about her business. Due to obstacles thrown in their way unknown to them, secrets and circumstances beyond their control, Amelia ended things with Pierce with no explanation. He’s spent years hating her and she’s spent years hating herself. When they see each after all that time they realize the sparks never died.
They’re story was HOT!!! I love how Sienna makes her stories simple, yet have so much depth and surprises while keeping the steam rolling throughout. Loved loved loved it, I highly recommend giving this one and the entire series a read. You will thank me later.
Master of Games is an amazing book to conclude Pierce and Amelia’s story. Book one had me anticipating more. I was dying to get my hands on this book. I love Pierce even though he had other plans for Amelia at first. The love these two had hidden deep down comes out blazing.
The heat factor was scorching hot! Master of Games is a toe curling story. This story consumes you!
This intense romance pulls you in and doesn’t let go. Pierce and Amelia’s story really keeps you on edge with abundance of raw emotions and sizzling chemistry. The complex story line and complex characters keep you fully engaged and wondering if it is even possible that these two can overcome the odds that are stacked against them. This book is a true rollercoaster ride for your emotions as the story unfolds. A simply wonderful read!
Master of Games is book two of the series and is Pierce and Amelia’s book. I really liked it. I loved Pierce and Amelia. They had sizzling chemistry and scorching sexy scenes. They were perfect together!
Pierce Lykaios has it all in life as a Lykaios brother in Vegas. He has money, fame, and family; only thing missing was the love of his life. He has missed Amelia for years and finally has her back and will never let her go, weather she wants him or not. Finding out the secret she has been keeping from him since they broke up makes it worse. Throw in some hot brothers, sports, and a second chance at love makes for a fabulous read.
Snow has written a fantastic world of the Lykaios brothers in Vegas. There are so many stories to be told, I can’t wait for more.
I loved everything about Pierce and Amelia’s story. Second chance, secret baby, rivals in the business, undying love.
Pierce is as broody as he is beautiful. Amelia is strong underneath a docile facade. Events from years ago have dramatically altered both of their lives. The future waits for them to rewrite their outcome.
Their love story will make you swoon, the antics of the friends will make you laugh and as more information unfolds we learn more of the back story of some if the why’s that molded the “Gods of Vegas” into the men they are today.
“The way I love you. You stole a part of my heart and I never got back.” ~ Ame
Master of Sin should be read before this one, we get info and backstory and all that jazz in book one. Master of Sin had Hagan and Penny, now we get Amelia and Pierce’s story. Lovers when they were teenagers and madly in love, until Amelia had to choose her family and move to Greece. Now, ten years later, Amelia is back in America and going to facing Pierce for the first time. He may have been her first and only love, but that doesn’t mean that she was his. Being back around Pierce brings back the need for submission for Amelia, and Pierce knows it. Is this all a game to just get back at Amelia for leaving him years ago?
This was a really good read. Giving us more drama, and some hot naughty bits. The BDSM element was spot on and pretty much perfect. Pierce and Amelia had loads of chemistry and I loved them together. I can’t wait for the next book when more secrets come out. I give this 4 stars.
Master of Games is the second book in the Gods of Vegas Series. Is a series of 3 brothers, Hagan in Masters of Sin – he is the oldest and runs anything and everything to do with Las Vegas night-life. Pierce is the middle brother (Master of Games is his story) he works the sporting events portion of their business. And, I can’t wait for Zach’s story. Zach handles all the casinos, hotels & resorts. In addition, each brother runs a casino-hotel. Hagan runs & lives at the Ida. Pierce runs and lives at the Aegean and Zach runs and lives at the Aegis. All in Las Vegas.
After reading Master of Sin I couldn’t wait to get a hold of this second book. This time it is Pierce Lykaios & Amelia Thanos’ story.
Amelia was married and is now a widow. She owns Thanos Sports, a management company and her prize fighter just signed up with a sponsor, Collin Lykaios. Pierce is now bound to find out her secret.
Pierce has wanted nothing to do with his father Collin. For reasons that I can’t say and would suggest you read this book if you would like to know. Amelia has forgiven Collin for his part in her separation from Pierce. Can Pierce forgive him too?
So far, these Lykaios brothers are dominant and want their women to be submissive in the bedroom which is a perfect book for me!
I couldn’t put this book down. I loved also being able to follow up a little more on Penny & Hagan’s story.
I am off to a good start this is the second book that I have read by this author and I am in love with her books already. And, now the 3rd book can’t come fast enough! I need Zach’s story!
Amelia walked away from Pierce, the love of her life, 10 years ago and broke both of their hearts. She was a pregnant 18 year old and he had a promising career as an Olympic swimmer. When an older Stavros offered to marry her and raise the child as his own, Amelia let the world believe she was sleeping with both men. 10 years later she must face Pierce again when the MMA fighters they each represent go head to head. Stavros has been dead 2 years, can she honor his memory and rekindle the fire she had with Pierce?
This is the 2nd book in the God’s of Vegas series. Its focus is on Pierce and Amelia, but all the characters I loved from book 1 are here. The character’s pasts are so entwined that little details keep emerging. The author does a great job keeping the surprises coming. Love these women, they are strong and powerful in their own right. Can’t wait for brother number 3 to get his story told.
Hum, am not really sure how to review this book. I have read most of Sienna Snow’s books.
That being said I know they all have hot and steamy love scenes. Most of the time these are woven in to the story and help us better understand the character’s.
I was a little disappointed in this book with how the BDSM sex kinda took over the book.
Pierce Lykaios and his brothers run Vegas. He and Amelia meet as teenager and fell into a wild, sexy kinda love. It was ended quickly when Pierce’s father Collin gave her a hard choice to make at nineteen, his son or her parents. Either way someone was going to get hurt.
Amelia did the only thing she though she could she saved her parents and left Pierce for good she thought.
Pierce had no idea what his father had done, and was devastated, he was an Olympic swimmer and lost is all cause he was hurt, upset and lost with out her and took it out on others.
She meets an older wealthy business man, Stavros Thanos who offers to marry her and take care of the unborn child she has just found out about. They have a good life for 10 years till he is killed in a boating accident.
Amelia never tells Pierce he had a son.
When Pierce finds out from his brother’s about his son Christopher he see’s red. Now he wants to make her pay for letting other man raise his son. He comes up with plan to get even.
They meet for the first time after Pierce’s father sets up a MMA Fight between her fighter Apoll and his fighter Hugo. Let the games begin. Neither has forgotten the other, can a first love win over all the hurt, and pain ?
All in all I liked the book and the outcome, I really wanted to read Pierce and Amelia story.
This book did give us more information on the reasons Collin Lykaios did what he did to his son’s.
So only you can decide if the good out weights the heavy sex.
I received this book free and am giving my honest review. Please read the books in order you will miss a lot if you don’t
I still can’t wait for the next book. I hope it is more like Master of Sin
You never forget your first love even after ten years Amelia and pierce are very much in love but Amelia has a 9 year old secret that could mess up this 2Nd chance up!
Pierce is even hotter than Hagan and that’s saying something. I cannot wait until Zac! The intensity is there from page one and it does not stop for chapter two in the Gods of Vegas series.
Pierce and Amelia were together when they were two teenagers, but they were manipulated by others and broke apart and she married another. Pierce had a volatile path, but ten years later one of them is widowed and one has a child.
There are a lot of aspects to this story and more titbits are revealed and it wets the reader’s appetite in many ways. The charisma is great and the sex scenes are spectacular.
There are so many extra characters in this story that open up so many possibilities for the future. I smile when I read stories of Ms. Snow. I highly recommend any of her books, they will weave a web of the unexpected and will keep you looking for more.
I received this as an advanced reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review.
Yes yes yes, please give me more. This book was absolutely amazing and definitely on the steamy side. I love second chance romance and this book has it all and more. I couldn’t put this book down once I started reading. Well done Sienna Snow, another amazing book. Highly recommended.
Woah this book was jam packed with everything; second chances, secret baby, steamy hot H and a strong h….everything all rolled into one book. A great read that will keep you intrigued and wanting more. I had no trouble reading this in one as I found myself not wanting to put it down. Another great Sienna Snow book.
I loved the first one and this second one is even better. Pierce Lykaios is a Greek business man that has his two brothers helping him and their empire bloom. Pierce is the middle brother who was an Olympic swimmer that had everything taken away or he distorted because of his love for Amelia Thanos. These two were just kids when they met and loved hard and played harder but when things were rip away from her she had to make a new life with someone else since she was with child but it’s Pierce’s not her husbands. A lot of hurt and love took time to heal and when she went back to the states for a fight, things from the past came up. She had to chose what’s right or wrong and what she needed and wanted. This is an amazing story of love and destiny working together. Some love never dies.
What a fantastic read. Good flow and story line, was entertaining from start to finish.
Omg tbe character chemistry was off the charts hot! I love the history between Pierce and Ame and the drama of the families involved. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for Zach and I will definitely need to go back and read Masters of Sin.
Another bada$$ couple
—>>> More secrets about the Lykaios family come to light, beginning with an innocent photo which draws Amelia face to face back to the US with a man she has never forgotten nor purged from her heart. For Pierce, he was determined to rain down as much pain back on Amelia, and he was going to keep his heart safe, but resolve melts away at the woman she has grown into since he last saw her. No longer under anyone else’s control now, what happens between them when they have finally have a much-overdue reckoning pales in comparison to the re-igniting of the scorching chemistry between them. But that is not all that is now between them. Anything is possible for this pair, though, especially with the love and support of the many key people in their lives, but can they forgive each other honestly enough to find the strength to forge something new, just for them.
