But when she lashes out against a billionaire who won’t take no for an answer, she nearly loses everything—until Sebastian steps in.
The owner’s son and handpicked successor, Sebastian is dark, sexy, and kinder than any rich man should be. And when he apologizes and offers to keep her job safe, Aria can’t help the way her body reacts to his. Suddenly her job, and the security it brings her, isn’t the only thing Aria wants.

My Review:
Play Me #1: Play Me Wild by Tracy WolffMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Play Me #1: Play Me Wild by Tracy Wolff is the first book in her 5-part serial, Play Me.
As book one, this is an introduction to the characters and their history, not a whole lot of stuff (AKA Sexy Times) going on, HOWEVER, there is so much promise of what is to come.
Aria's character is well-established with her "whale" racking incident, and so is Sebastian's with how he handles the fallout from the whole situation, not only with Aria but also with the "whale" that got racked, his staff, and other "whales".
The allusions to Sebastian's proclivities and the sexual tension between him and Aria that just LEAPS off the page, Man, this is going to be a GREAT series. Onwards to book 2, Play Me #2: Play Me Hot.

Play Me Hot
Return to a world of secrets and desires. In the sultry second installment of an eBook original serial from the New York Times bestselling author of Ruined and Addicted, Aria and Sebastian turn up the heat. But will they get burned?
My name is Aria Winston. I’ve fought desperately to escape the seedy underbelly of Las Vegas. Now I’m on my own, in control of my own life and my own destiny . . . just the way I like it. Until Sebastian Caine changes everything.
If getting tangled up with her new boss is wrong, Aria doesn’t want to be right. Powerful men usually have a way of thinking they can take whatever they want while giving nothing back, but Sebastian is different. He’s gentle with her body. Rough in all the right places. And hot enough to make Aria break every last rule she’s set for herself. But with her history, it’ll take more than mind-blowing sex to heal the pain deep inside . . . no matter how good Sebastian’s intentions are. She’s spent her entire life fighting for control of her own life, and no one’s going to take that from her. But the more time she spends in Sebastian’s world, the deeper she’s drawn into his sensual games.
Play Me is an erotic serial intended for mature audiences. Aria and Sebastian’s story continues in Play Me: Hard.
My Review:
Play Me #2: Play Me Hot by Tracy WolffMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Play Me #2: Play Me Hot by Tracy Wolff is the second book in her 5-part serial, Play Me.
Book 2 begins right where one left off...
Tell me, Aria. How much does control mean to you? How far will you go to get it? ~ Sebastian...up against the window in Sebastians penthouse level office. Right away we are treated to the wickedly hot stuff we were waiting on at the end of book one. I also learned some new things with this installment. During their first wicked interlude Sebastian notices Aria going into subspace (I looked it up, an endorphin high brought on my BDSM play, makes you sluggish, can cause a form of tunnel-vision, and happy happy etc). Immediately after their Ah-Maze-Ing scenes upagainst the office window overlooking Vegas Aria heads for the bathroom essentially shutting Sebastian out. Her issues are causing her to retreat from him and she heads back to work. After the type of "play" they just had there should have been some downtime, but there wasn't. As a result she heads into subdrop (after subspace, if not taken care of properly, the drastic drop in endorphin levels in the body can leave one feeling exhausted, depressed, lonely, miserable). He insists on taking care of her, SHE insists on finsihing out her shift and you can already tell the balance of power is going to be a constant battle between these two.
He gives her a choice...
"Choose," I tell her when I finally have my s*#t together enough to speak. "Now. Because one way or another, you're leaving this casino with me."~ Sebastian

Play Me Hard
No one ever said love is easy. In the third installment of an eBook original serial from the New York Times bestselling author of Ruined and Addicted, Aria and Sebastian discover that building trust might be harder than they ever imagined.
My name is Aria Winston. I’ve fought desperately to escape the seedy underbelly of Las Vegas. Now I’m on my own, in control of my own life and my own destiny . . . just the way I like it. Until Sebastian Caine changes everything.
Ever since taking Aria under his wing and into his seductive domain, Sebastian hasn’t been able to think straight. Their chemistry is intoxicating. Their power exchange is exhilarating. And the sex leaves them both absolutely exhausted. But if there’s one thing Sebastian does know, it’s that he needs to protect this strong yet vulnerable woman. Because she has depths that are unknown—even to her. Aria has worked hard to establish herself as anything but submissive. That isn’t who she is, or who she wants to be. So why does it feel so sweet to give up control . . . and so intense when Sebastian takes care of needs she doesn’t even realize she has? But he has needs of his own—and secrets that run just as dark and deep as Aria’s.
Play Me is an erotic serial intended for mature audiences. Aria and Sebastian’s story continues in Play Me: Real.
My Review:
Play Me #3: Play Me Hard by Tracy WolffMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Play Me #3: Play Me Hard by Tracy Wolff is the third book in her 5-part serial, Play Me.
"I don't respond well to ultimatums, Sebastian." I've had too many of them in my life, been told too many times that I had real control over my own life when it was nothing but a lie.~ AriaSo we once again begin right where the previous book left off. Sebastian issued Aria an ultimatum. Either he was taking her to is place or he was taking her to hers, but HE was taking her, she was NOT going by herself. He is still concerned over the subdrop she is experiencing and takes her back to her apartment to care for her. The plot twists some more when at the aprtment building we learn that Sebastian has been there before. There's a history and it doesn't seem like a good one based on his reaction.
He cares for her, takes the spare apartment key, leaves her sleeping and fills her bare apartment full of food that has actual nutition value. She calls him on it, ticked off because she sees it as him exerting more control over her but he talks her down. Her issues cause these sometimes irrational reactions to control issues but every time Sebastian seems to be able to break through the issues, even if just for a short while.
Back at Sebastian's casino we are introduced to his friend Ethan Frost (a character in Tracy Wolff's other series Ethan Frost that begins with Ruined). They meet later in Sebastians office and are interrupted by Aria storming in (*chuckles*). Sebastian takes Aria home after her shift but when they are greeted by her drunken neighbor Janet all hell breaks loose. We are so much closer to finding out the secret to why Sebastian is familiar with Aria's apartment building.
As we cross the parking lot, I spot Janet sitting on the steps. Even from this distance I can tell that she's drunk, and I turn to warn Sebastian that I'm going to have to try to wrestle her into her apartment.But he's not paying any attention to me at all. Instead, he's staring at Janet like he's seen a ghost. Or the Antiichrist. I can't tell which.~ Aria

My name is Aria Winston. I’ve fought desperately to escape the seedy underbelly of Las Vegas. Now I’m on my own, in control of my own life and my own destiny . . . just the way I like it. Until Sebastian Caine changes everything.
Aria has learned to play Sebastian’s game. She’s given him control, taken it back, and let him push her farther than she ever imagined she could go. But when Sebastian’s past comes to light, Aria receives a glimpse behind the facade—a revelation that disturbs her even as it makes her feel closer to this simmering, complicated man. Finally she comes to understand the real reason why Sebastian feels the need to dominate everything in his path. But Aria has a tortured history, too. And together they’re a dangerous combination. Now she’s the one pushing Sebastian to the breaking point . . . and if one of them burns up, they’ll both go down together.

My Review:
Play Me #4: Play Me Real by Tracy WolffMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Play Me #4: Play Me Real by Tracy Wolff is the fourth book in her 5-part serial, Play Me.
Picking up right where the previous book left us, Sebastian has left Aria's aprtment complex. He has left her to deal with Janet and is worried about how she will react once she hears the whole story from Janet about Dylan. Upon returning to the Casino he is notified by his security team about a problem at the high-roller tables. Of course, it is the Russian "whale" that Aria racked, again. Before Sebastian can get too violent with the Russian, Ethan steps in as the voice of reason. Back in Sebastian's office the two best friends are discussing the incident and again, in comes Aria, less demanding this time and Ethan leaves in a hurry (*chuckles*). She's heard Janet's story and now wants Sebastian to share his.
"You're hurting Sebastian. You think I don't know that? You think I can't see it in the way you hold your body? Can't see it in the way you try not to breathe too deeply? What Janet said is destroying you and I don't like that. I may not have known you as long as she has or know you as well as Ethan does, but I know you Sebastian Caine"~ AriaTheir romantic interlude that follows gets very deep into control and Sebastian keeps pushing Aria and pushing her and afterwrds realizes that he may ave pushed beyond her limits in his effort to remain in control. Even though she had let him, it may have been too much, too far.
She loves him and what he does to her but because of her own past and secrets that she hasn't yet shared, she doesn't believe they can work so she leaves.
