Eight years ago, I agreed to marry the man of my dreams.Eight years ago, I realized I’d also given a piece of my heart to his brother.Eight years ago, I made the decision to walk away from both men.What choice did I have? I couldn’t stay with Jessie knowing the flame I carried for Asher burned just as bright.Maybe even brighter.So I did the only thing I could. I walked away with no intention of … thing I could. I walked away with no intention of seeing either man again.
Until I step into a bar in Vegas and see a much more mature, much sexier version of Asher York, a guitar strapped to him, his soulful voice reminding me of everything I’ve tried to forget.
But there’s no forgetting Asher York. And when he looks at me with the same raw hunger, there’s no denying the fire between us still burns.
Can I look past the reason I left all those years ago for one night with him?
There’s only one way to find out.
Let the games begin.

This is the perfect little novella to introduce Izzy and Asher, and tell their side of the story of what happened during the blackout in Vegas.
Asher is a yummy rockstar that has been in love with his brothers ex- fiancee since he saw her dancing in a club he was playing at.
This book is full of tons of heat, and tons of games.
If you have read Chloe and Lincoln’s book Wicked Games or their novella Night Games, and wanted to know what happened between Izzy and Asher then I recommend this book.
Their story continues in Dangerous Games
“Mind Games” is the background story of Izzy and Asher and also their one night stand during a Vegas blackout, while they were in their blackout bubble.
Once upon a time Izzy was engaged to Asher’s best friend who also happens to be his brother. Even that cannot lessen their explosive attraction to one another.
This is a great prequel to to their story loaded with passion and angst. Once the blackout is over will what happened in Vegas stay in Vegas?
Guess I will have to read the next book to find out.
I love meetings that are unexpected, especially when there is chemistry that is caged. Nothing is as sexy as the music that brings back all the memories for Asher and Izzy. Family gatherings, spending time in the outdoors, all platonic at the time. Sexier yet is Vegas in the dark playing naughty games, hormones raging, secrets exposed. Hot, teasing, sexy, forbidden.
This takes place at the same time as the first third of Wicked Games. You do not need to read Wicked Games to enjoy this story, but I highly recommend it.
I was interested in Izzy and Asher’s relationship, and what happened between them during the blackout. This book did not disappoint. It was full of sexual tension and there was a surprise little twist. Izzy and Asher have a very complicated relationship. I can’t wait to see how it plays out in Dangerous Games.
On a girl’s trip to Vegas Isabella runs into Asher. He is the brother of her ex fiancee. They have always been close. Matter of fact when she was in college she would go see him sing in a band. She fell for him than. She never knew who he was till she went to her boyfriend’s grandmother’s house. 8 years after the break up Izzy runs into Asher in a bar and the 2 spend time enjoying each others company. When Izzy’s flight gets delayed she ends up calling Asher. They know they are playing with fire. The feelings they have are still there. For Asher she has always been the one unfortunately Jesse got to her first. For Izzy she remembers her feelings for the singer of the band in her college days. What happens in Vegas doesn’t always stay in Vegas. Can it? A cute short story to the introduction to these 2. They are definitely a 10 on the hot meter. 5 stars for me.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas so the saying goes. This book is a second chance romance that doesn’t really have a chance of being more than a one night stand. For a short story it has lots of emotions, chemistry and sexual tension. Izzy and Asher’s forbidden love is explosive.
MIND GAMES is the third book in the Games series. This should be read before DANGEROUS GAMES.
Intense chemistry, exciting passion, nerve-racing secrets!
The push and pull… The maybe I shouldn’t, but I want to… The messy angst of a forbidden love that they can only pursue for one night in the bubble of a blackout.
I will never say “game night” again and not think of a blackout in Las Vegas, four friends, and the mind games that can begin.
Thank God I received this as part of reading and reviewing Dangerous Games. I don’t have to wait and can dive straight into chasing their HEA.

I believe certain books and quotes come into your life at just the right time and there is a quote in this book that spoke to me loudly:
“You listen to me, my darling Isabella. Today may be all gray skies and dark clouds, but tomorrow may be a different story. When that sun rises, that’s your second chance. No matter how shitty today is, with every sunrise, we’re given a chance to start over again. To have a new beginning. It’s up to you to decide what that will be.” Asher’s Gram
In addition to the fact that I love that quote, I LOVE IZZY and ASHER!!! This is just the beginning (well, kind of the middle) of their story, and I am anxiously waiting for the rest of it. I hope they decide to give that second chance a try.
Have you ever fell in love with a couple and just can’t get enough of them? Izzy and Asher have become one of those couples for me. Between the playful banter and then the actual game of Never Have I Ever these two know how to keep me wanting more.
I highly recommend Mind Games!!!
I have LOVED this entire set of books about this group of friends, and Mind Games just might be my favorite! Sexy as all get out, and filled with the perfect amount of drama, I devoured it. I loved that we got Asher and Izzy’s side of the “game” night, after reading Chloe and Lincoln’s story.
This was an amazing must read, and I can’t wait for more of Asher and Izzy!!
Amazing, really well writter and the characters are off the charts amazing. The passion and back and forth the characters do really makes your mind go crazy. This story gets you ready for craving more. MUST READ
What an amazing book. Once it’s over you will want more.
She never thought to see Asher after all this time. It’s been 8 years. But they still have an easy conversation between the two of them.
The chemistry between these two is off
the books. So much more to come. A little twist at the end.
Buy now!
Intriguing
This is the prequel to Wicked Gmes where we met Izzy and Logan. There was an agreement of what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. There’s one main problem though. They have to either hurt one another or hurt someone they have in common. It’s a tough decision to make.
Holy Chemistry!
Asher: The quintessential hot musician but the twist on him unlike so many in that genre he is a truly kind man. He feels deeply.
Izzy: She holds a part of herself back from everyone but when she sees Asher again can she keep her heart locked up?
The chemistry with these two is off the charts. No one does the tease quite like T. K. Leigh. I am so ready to see how their story continues!
No matter the person, as we live so we learn… or so we try to anyway. With Mind Games, T.K. Leigh allows us to see what happened on the other side of that relationship portal during a time of surprise in Vegas. But this story takes us so much deeper into the fate of our loved ones, as well as bringing us up to date on where they are…or are not.
Asher is on the verge of being a rock god. Oddly he has been one to a certain someone for a long time. Alpha male, tatted and sultry voiced are things the girls say. Yet he has a heart of gold. One built for passion, and a secret he never let on to.
Chloe is that independent gal in Vegas for the friends wedding shower (you remember that from Night Games right). Strong and independent she has always stood by her principles and followed the proper path.
But we know Vegas has a way of bending the road sometimes, and chance meetings can become so much more. The dynamics of these two meeting in Vegas carry a much heavier load as there is a third skeleton in this closet. Who knew the sizzle of unfinished passion could last so long. More importantly, who knew T.K. Leigh was going to take us on a roller coaster ride filled with passion and surprises galore. Dang lady, you do that so well.
I cannot wait to see how this series continues. T.K, five stars are not enough as you have only lit that fuse and we all are waiting for the major explosion about to occur. I end by saying “Wonderful Job” as I sit here on patient knees.
OMG! What a great story. I love the characters, the plot and that cliffhanger left me wanting more!! Izzy and Asher’s background story is a very complex one. Izzy was engaged to Asher’s brother, Jessie eight years ago. Asher and Izzy did develop a good friendship back then. They enjoyed each other’s company. After she broke off the engagement, she thought it best to break things off with the entire family and never dreamed of seeing Jessie or Asher again.
But then eight years later, she runs into Ashesr in Vegas. He is finally making his dream of becoming a musician come true. Against their better judgment, Asher and Izzy spend the night getting reacquainted. Then when fate intervenes by way of a canceled flight and a blackout, they succumb to their attraction. The chemistry is off the hook. But can Asher get over his feelings of guilt and betrayal to his brother and give this thing with Izzy a real shot? Will Izzy sacrifice herself and let go of the only man she’s ever truly loved in favor of the brothers’ relationship? It’s angsty and full of hotness and everything I like in a story. I can’t wait to read more!!
This little novella {prequel} of Asher and Izzy is chemistry, angst and the value of love all rolled into one. Another great Vegas tale that I am glad will not stay in Vegas.
T.K. Leigh gives you just enough of their story to leave you begging for more…….cannot wait for their full story to release.
Oh. My. God! Asher and Izzy are electric. I love their banter and I could feel their chemistry. The heat is intense, and their time during the blackout leaves you begging for more. I need Dangerous Games like yesterday! I love the angst, the drama, the history, every single thing! This is a must read! Bravo T.K. Leigh, Bravo!
This is a prequel and goes back to Vegas to show us what happened between Izzy and Asher during the blackout. Now we get more of the backstory for them and find out exactly what happened during that blackout between the two of them! There is plenty of chemistry between the two but there is also a lot of history and drama from their past. But I really enjoyed being able to fully understand their relationship more and I was very excited to find out what we missed from Chloe’s book! Of course now I also understand better why they both may have some issues with each other. Especially with his brother involved in their past. I would highly recommend you read this book before you read Dangerous Games though because I think this one will definitely lead into that one!
Mind games is prequel that bring us back to Izzy and Chloe what happened to them the night they got stuck in Vegas for one more night when they went to their friend Hannah bachelorette party. When was time for them to go home their flight back to New York got cancelled. Izzy call her ex fiancée brother Asher York for favor if they can stay the night at the place he staying at. she happen to see him again at the bar last day in Vegas when she steps out on her own to explore Vegas. They spend the night together getting reacquainted and heating up the night. after eight years not see each other after she broke off her engagement with Asher brother Jessie. Confessions are made and hearts are exposed. Feelings guilt about their love and boundaries are crumpled.
Mind games has angsts, passion and guilt. The ending I didn’t see that coming. I can’t wait for continue their story in Dangerous games.
I am so happy I finally get the backstory of Asher and Izzy. I would give this story a 4 stars and highly recommend to others. I did read Dating Games first so I did get to see a little into there story but it left me wanting more! And boy oh boy did we get the more! You can read either book first but I believe if I read this book first it would have been even better reading Dating Games during the blackout event, but all in all this whole series has been very enjoyable and I can’t wait to see what this author will bring us next!
Asher is living in the shadows of his brother and Izzy is living with feelings she harbored because of Asher’s brother, will they deny there chemistry are will it be explosive when they give in?
Get to one clicking to see what happens you don’t wanna miss this one!
