Blurb:Hailed by J. Kenner as an author who “knows how to steam up the pages,” Tracy Wolff delivers a darkly addictive novel of seduction and psychological obsession. The stakes are high in Lovegame, when a movie star with a shattered past meets a man who can either break her or make her whole.
True Crime novelist Ian Sharpe has spent his career writing about serial killers for very personal reasons. For his latest exposé, he is taking on the sadistic madman known as the Red Ribbon Strangler, and when his research leads him to Hollywood’s most private and provocative actress, he will break every rule to uncover her truth.
The daughter of one of Hollywood’s golden couples, chased by paparazzi and treated as a commodity her entire life, Veronica Romero wields her sex appeal like a weapon. She expects Ian to be as easy to control as every other man she’s ever known. But from the beginning, he refuses to fall into line. Mysterious and cool, challenging and just a little bit dangerous, Ian somehow makes her feel safe—even as he digs into the deepest secrets of her life and pushes her to the breaking point.
As raw ecstasy gives way to agonized truths, their dark obsession exposes secrets that have been buried for far too long. Ian wants to tear down her walls and heal the sensual woman underneath. But if Veronica’s learned anything, it’s that the line between pleasure and pain is a narrow one—and when caught between them the only thing that matters is how you play the game.

My Thoughts:
Ian Sharpe is having an
interesting interview with a woman who seems to have more then one
persona. Veronica Romero is in a line of
work that a lot of people are looking to get into. But it’s a job that can take a lot out of
you. It’s also a job that comes with
high expectations.
I found Veronica to be something
of a puzzle and Ivan is our way of seeing how her pieces fit together. He also gives us a little peek into how an author
may go about solving a mystery – they may see something that normal people may
not pick up on. The mystery in this
seems to be Veronica herself. She only
lets us see what she wants people to know about her. But you will find that she’s not the only one
who is something of a mystery.
Our author does a bold move by
not letting you know, in print, when the first person switches between the two
main characters. But you will have no
trouble figuring it out for yourself.
Veronica is a woman who is very vulnerable. She lets the reader see but no one in her
world is allowed to see the cracks. Ian
is a very straightforward man who needs answers ones that get told to him and
those that remain unspoken.
I found that part of the story
felt psychological, there’s some sexual tension and Ian has the right antidote,
and if you loved that combined with some suspense then this might just be the
book for you. This is not a book that
you can expect it to be like some of our author’s other books, for example the
author’s Play Me Series. It’s a story that will have you fixated on
it. Just like a movie, you don’t want to
miss anything so you stayed glued to your seat until the end comes. And that
psychological thriller had me in its grips right until the end of their last
conversation. The Epilogue will give you
your happy ending. The sad part for me
was in to trying to find out what Ms. Wolff’s next will be and I couldn’t find
anything coming out until next year.
