Power Play
The Risky Business Series
Sage
Reese lives for her job. More precisely, she lives for her debonair
boss, Parker Andersen. Sage handles everything for Parker, even as
she fantasizes about the one thing that isn't in her job description:
him. But when a high-stakes account crosses the line from shady to
deadly, a tough cop starts giving Sage the attention she wishes
Parker would . . .
Detective
Dean Ryker couldn't be more different from Parker. While Parker wears
expensive suits like a second skin and drives a BMW, Ryker's uniform
is leather jackets and jeans . . . and his ride of choice is a
Harley. While Parker's sexiness is a reserved, slow burn, Ryker is
completely upfront about what-and who-he's after. And Sage tops his
list.
Now,
as Ryker digs deeper into the dark side of Parker's business, Sage
finds herself caught between two men: the one she's always wanted-and
the one who makes her feel wanted like never before . . .
This author's love triangle series should come with a “flashing light” warning because there is a chance you'll be left heartbroken like I was after The Kathleen Turner Series.
But that was then and this is now! Like forbidden fruit, the temptation to read another action packed, sexy page turner by Tiffany Snow is just too great a pull for my will-power. Is this like the Kathleen Turner Series...no! The foundations laid in Power Play provide the potential for the Risky Business Trilogy to be an even greater love story.
Sage Reece loves her job which is just as well as she's pretty much on-call 24/7 for her demanding boss Parker Anderson. Not that she sees it as a hardship working for the drop-dead gorgeous man with clear blue eyes. He has her heart, although he gives the impression he's immune to her beautiful looks.
Many say he's arrogant, but Parker Anderson sees himself as confident. He's the highly sought and respected Director of Investment Analytics at KLP Capital. He's cool and business-like in his work place especially when around his stunning executive administrative assistant. Their relationship is strictly professional. However, after an old arch nemesis visits his office and notices Sage, maybe the cliché boss and secretary scenario should be considered after all?
When his arch nemesis turns up as a suspect in a case he's investigating, Dean Ryker wastes no time seeking out Parker Anderson for answers. What he didn't expect is to find a “bombshell” of a secretary working for his suspect. Never one to miss an opportunity, Ryker asks Sage on a date and whisks her away right from under Parker's nose. But is this tentative date for pleasure or another means to collect information and evidence for his case?
Power Play is a fast paced suspenseful romance. As with all of Tiffany's books this is a well written novel laced with witty and humorous dialogue. In this tight knit love triangle, the sparks of attraction are flying everywhere as both guys vie for Sage's attention. Like Sage, I can see both positive and negative personality traits in both Parker and Ryker. I do however prefer one guy over the other, but only slightly.
Power Play didn't have the same immediate impact as No Turning Back...or so I thought. This was definitely a slow burn beginning for me. In the couple of days since I finished reading this first installment of the Risky Business trilogy, I've already found myself thinking more about the protagonists than I thought I would... a feeling of deja vu? So, the seeds of a new love triangle obsession have been sown! I can't wait to find out what happens next to Sage, Parker and Ryker in the remaining books in the series; Playing Dirty and Play To Win. I just hope my pieced together fractured heart wont be broken into millions of shards again!
