Ellie Parker is a master at building walls around her heart. In the twenty-five years she’s been alive, Dex Remington has been the only person who has always believed in her and been there for her. But four years earlier she came to Dex seeking comfort, and then disappeared like a thief in the night, leaving him a broken man.
Dex Remington is one of the top PC game developers in the U.S. He’s handsome, smart, and numb. So damn numb that he’s not sure he’ll ever find a reason to feel again.
A chance encounter sparks intense desires in Ellie and Dex. Desires that make her want to run—and make him want to feel. A combination of lust and fear leads these young lovers down a dangerous path. Is it possible to cross a burned bridge or are they destined to be apart forever?
My Review:
My rating: 4 of 5 starsGame of Love by Melissa Foster is the first book in The Remingtons and the tenth book in the encompassing Love In Bloom series.
It is such a refreshing change to have the girl break the guys heart and run off into the night. Normally it's studly alpha-male leaves distressed broken damsel only to later return having suddenly realized his mistake years later. Well, not this story. Game of love takes that and flips it on it's head!
There was a lot of back and forth between the characters that had me quite frustrated at times, especially with Ellie and her insecurities. Hot HOT Dex and his tattooed self is worth the frustration over Ellie. Another enjoyable romance from Melissa Foster.
