4 Star Review ~ The Games We Play by S. Cole



 Release Date: March 16

From USA Today best selling author Scarlett Cole, writing as S. Cole, comes an electrifying MC, forbidden lovers romance.

Iris:
As a woman born into an Irish crime family, I'm expendable.
It's why I've extricated myself from that life.
Only now, I'm wrapped up in another one when I witness the death of the president of a motorcycle outlaw club.
And the club's sergeant at arms has declared himself as my protector... Or stalker.
And I can't decide if he terrifies or excites me.

Spark:
Too many people have died on my watch in Kabul and New Jersey.
My conscience can't carry the weight of one more. Especially a pretty young thing with eyes that pierce my truths.
But her family is our enemy. One of many.
And she hates the things I pride myself in standing for.
Until she needs me to play her family's deadly game. A game to ruin us all.

Review:

Spark and Iris was introduced in the first book of the series, "The Sins we Hide" and this series just keeps getting better.

Spark, being an ex Marine, wants to protect everyone due to him feeling like he failed a mission. His desire to make sure everyone around him is safe shows the type of man he is but with Iris, the desire is strong.  

Iris wants nothing to do with her family and their ties to the mafia.  She would like to just be free and have a great life but Spark is drawing her into his world and she doesn't want that.  She can't let him go but can she handle what's next and the danger ahead?

Spark knows he should walk away but he can't and he won't.  He'll never allow anything to happen to Iris but what lies ahead may destroy them.  Can he protect her heart and soul? Will the future destroy them?

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can't wait for the next in the series.

Meet S. Cole


The tattoo across my right hip says it all really. A Life Less Ordinary. Inked by the amazingly talented Luke Wessman at the Wooster Street Social Club (a.k.a. New York Ink). Why is it important? Well, it sums up my view on life. That we should all aspire to live a life that is less boring, less predictable. Be bold, and do something amazing. I’ve made some crazy choices. I’ve been a car maker, a consultant, and even a senior executive at a large retailer running strategy. 

Born in England, spent time in the U.S. and Japan, before ending up in Canada where I met my own, personal hero – all six and a half feet of him. Both of us are scorpios! Yeah, I know! Should have checked the astrological signs earlier, but somehow it works for us. We have two amazing kids, who I either could never part with or could easily be convinced to sell on e-bay.

 

I’ve wanted to be a writer for a really long time. Check through my office cupboards or my computer and you’ll find half written stories and character descriptions everywhere. Now I'm getting the chance to follow that dream.

 

I am represented by Beth Phelan at The Bent Agency, NY.
