He’s forbidden in every meaning of the word. But is that enough to keep him away?It all started in Vegas.Now, I know what you’re thinking…What happens in Vegas is supposed to stay in the city of sin. Normally, I’d be inclined to agree. Until Lincoln Moore walks into my life.On paper, we mix as well as oil and water.He’s confident. Commanding. Successful. Master of his universe.I’m a hot mess, … confident. Commanding. Successful. Master of his universe.
I’m a hot mess, barely holding on as I struggle to balance my job, finally finishing college, and keeping my mother sober.
But when the lights go out, nothing else matters.
Until I learn the truth of who Lincoln Moore actually is.
Sure, I probably should have put the pieces together sooner, but our time together hasn’t exactly been filled with riveting philosophical discussions about the meaning of life, if you know what I mean.
That still doesn’t diminish the fact he could lose everything by being with me.
But is that enough to keep us apart? Or is what we have worth the risk?
There’s only one way to find out.
Let the games begin…
Note: Wicked Games is the complete story of what readers got a taste of in Night Games, a novella that was originally included in the Blackout Anthology, which is no longer available. While the beginning of this book may sound familiar if you’ve read the Night Games novella, the story has been continued, and is now 450 pages, over 300 of which is brand new material. Readers wanted more Chloe and Lincoln, so that’s what I’ve delivered here.

Great book, steamy storyline kept me turning the pages.
This one was at serious subject matter in it..alcoholism and the ripple effects it has on so many lives.
The chemistry between Lincoln and Chloe was magnificent.
Sexy times were breathtaking. Chloe is one the strongest, more resilient heroines I’ve read in awhile.
I’m so glad she got her happy ending.

You would think that the old saying what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, would be true since everyone gets away with something there. Not so much for Chloe.when she meets Lincoln they are perfect for each other. Poor Chloes life is not easy either She is trying to keep her mom sober, struggling to balance her job and finishing college. It’s just not a good time for Chloe in life right now . However when it is just her and Lincoln that’s all that matters to her. When’s she finds out who he really is and knows that he shouldn’t be near her this book will suck you in so hard you can not breathe. I thought this was a beautiful story and the author did an amazing job.
Lincoln and Chloe have a totally taboo relationship for many reasons. This story is about what happens when Vegas follows you home. Let the games begin. I enjoyed this story and look forward to more.

A book that started out as just a short story for an anthology.
Thank goodness TK had the good sense to take it further and create a whole book.
Chloe and Lincoln were off the charts hot and head over heals for one another. Though it gets sort of tricky when life gets back to normal and they leave the Vegas bubble.
I won’t say anymore as it will ruin the story but there were many OMG moments.
I loved every twist and turn!
I was kindly given and ARC in exchange for an honest review.
*5 STARS*
I am never disappointed reading a book by T.K. Leigh. Night Games was a quick light easy read that left you on the edge of your seat and waiting to see what happened next. The story of Chloe & Lincoln picks up again in Wicked Games. Wicked Games is far from a lighthearted read. This is a story that comes from heartbreak and trust that nearly breaks them again and again. If you haven’t read Night Games don’t worry because that story is on the front of Wicked Games. Ladies, hang on to your seats because come chapter 34 you may need a cold shower. This is by far the best book I have read in 2019, romance, suspense, heartbreak, even a laugh or two. Do not miss the great book!
A well written perfectly paced story pulling you in from the start. This one about Chloe and what she has gone through to keep a secret from family and friends that she works out in the end. Lincoln pulls some feelings out of Chloe to help her realize what life has to offer. A great adventure that keeps your interest from beginning to end.
Seems simple then changes completely
4.5
Excellent romance. Until the first third the story seems to go in one direction, then suddenly a rather unexpected turnaround changes the whole situation. From a romance that seemed simple, the construction of characters and links between different stories let enjoy an addictive story.
Chloe is in a bachelor party in Las Vegas when she meets the same stranger several times. Her flight is then canceled and she finds again this man, Lincoln, who is in the same house than the brother of the ex fiancé of her friend. They are very attracted and succumb, but Chloe has to assume a lot of things related to her family and when she then discovers who Lincoln is, their worlds clash and seem incompatible

Wicked Games is about two complete opposites in every way except in bed. Their chemistry is off the charts hot! I was cheering for Lincoln and Chloe from the moment they crossed paths. Their story is filled with drama, angst, tears, laughter, steam and twists that pulled me into the story. Great writing, fun characters and a perfect ending make this a great book.
“A magician never reveals his secrets” – Fantastic story!
This book really did it for me. It’s one of the best reads of 2019 for me so far. I loved every single moment from this book. I thought after Dating Games this couldn’t be better. That somehow I knew it would be good but I didn’t expect it to be so great. It really is very well written and the plot is paced in the best way possible. There are so many twists and turns and it is so sexy and forbidden. Scorching, hot, sexy scenes and off the charts chemistry. But also there’s so many things from the past of the both main protagonists that makes this story deeper on the different level than just simple pure connection between main characters and romantic encounters. The way this book is written is capturing your attention from the beginning and then drags you deeper and deeper and suddenly there you are almost getting to the end. This short fragment from Chloe’s POV can easily sum up the whole story and events that happened on the pages: “(…) here it is… My story. In all its tragic, heart-wrenching beauty…”
Once again this author blows me away! TK Leigh is a must read for me always. It’s like Christmas morning when she has a new book out and WOW did I love the characters. Lincoln is my new favorite hero and is the perfect guy for Chloe. So many ups and downs and I loved every minute of it. I was hooked from page one and literally could not put this book down. I highly, highly recommend this book. Actually, I recommend all books by this author. Get it now! You won’t be sorry!
Review by Tabitha
This book gave me all the feels. I felt so much for Chloe and what she went through but I’m glad she found her HEA. I’m really looking forward to Izzy’s story.
This one took me on the gamut of emotions. The first part was everything you’d think of with Vegas: bright, sexy, flirty. I loved the game playing in the dark. Sexy with a dash of naughty. Then real life happened to Lincoln and Chloe. You’d think starting a relationship would be the easy part, but the fate that brought them together is no starting to tear them apart. Bring the tissues. Love Chloe’s girlfriends. I need to read more about them.
This story had me from the beginning. I couldn’t put it down. I fell in love with Chloe and Lincoln. This book is a perfect mix of humor and romance. Of course there were some heartbreaking moments, but T.K put my heart back together. Chloe character is a strong but loving, caring person. She tries to take care of everyone around her. Lincoln’s character is focused, driven and swoony. Their chemistry is explosive and gives you all the feels. I highly recommend reading this book. You won’t regret it.
I could not get enough of Chloe and Lincoln! This book will make you laugh out loud, it will make you want to throw the book across the room and scream but you will run after it because you have to k ow what’s going to happen next, it will make you cry tears of happiness, frustration, and some sad tears! I loved this book from page 1. I can’t wait to read all of the books to come! I will be reading this one again!

This is the story of Lincoln, and Chloe. They meet in Vegas, Chloe is there for her Best friends bachelorette party, and Lincoln rescues her from being hit on. Sparks fly instantly. This was a great read, the characters are well written, and have amazing chemistry. This was steamy, sexy, emotional, and intense, a must read.

Wicked Games by T.K. Leigh was an engrossing emotional story that held my interest from start to finish. This is Lincoln and Chloe’s story and I absolutely loved it. The characters were likable with off the charts chemistry, the steamy scenes were hott and intense, and the storyline will grab and hold your attention. This novel was more than I expected. Yes it a romance, yes its a forbidden relationship but its also a story about alcoholism and its effects on lives of family members. It will touch your heart and evoke a range of emotions while reading making you root for these characters even more.
Wicked Games was a phenomenal page-turner. It was engrossing and well-crafted and I would highly recommend it to all lovers of Contemporary Romance.
Wickedly intriguing!
Wow! This story was explosive! The mysterious at first and divine chemistry between Chloe and Lincoln is off the charts! Random chance encounters, that begin to feel not so random….
This book kept me interested from the very first pages all the way to the end, I couldn’t put it down! What happened in Vegas not only didn’t stay in Vegas, but revealed itself to cause quite a stir in turning both their worlds upside down. All Chloe Davenport ever wanted was to finish school and take care of her family, and she would do anything to ensure that happened. But when a mysterious handsome stranger comes to her rescue at a club in Vegas, going back home to her normal routine after a weekend away in sin city proves to be more difficult than she thought. Lincoln Moore is always in her head, and the reminders are everywhere. Does she have the strength and willpower to do whats right and stay away so she can succeed? Lincoln and Chloe are no good for each other in all the ways that matter…but in every other way…..They couldn’t be more perfect. Will society rules and moral compass break them down, or will they fight for what they started when the world blacked out on them?
I loved how many surprises and little twists were added to the story making it more interesting the further you read. This was such a fun read with great character banter, a little comedy, some heart string pulling moments, and definitely some shockers! Such a great read!
The chemistry between the hero and heroine is so wickedly hot and undeniable.
Fate just kept being these two together and each time was better than the last.
There’s laughing, passion and deliciously sexy moments that keep you on the edge of your seat.
