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.

Lovegame is intended for mature audiences.

Veronica Romero has everything to the outside world. Daughter of one of Hollywood’s most renowned couple, this has always been her universe, and with the best from both her parents – her mother’s beauty and her father’s talent – she has secure her own role as the world’s top leading actress.

She might be pale, but the look she gives me is pure, unadulterated Veronica. Part Disney villain and part Jessica Rabbit, it’s sultry and defiant and a little bit of fuck you all wrapped up in a solid punch to the dick.

What no one knows is all the secrets and pain she keeps so well locked behind her sex vixen facade. That is, until a certain writer enters her life and sees so much more than any of them anticipated.

Ian Sharpe is an ex FBI profiler and currently a True Crime writer. He comes to Veronica’s life with the pretext of an exclusive and particular interview with her, regarding the role of her life as the murderess ‘Belladona’, that she has just now finished filming. A movie based on the best seller book written by Ian, and the perfect cluefor him to get close enough to Veronica, since she may hold the only clue on his current project, a book on a serial killer. That is his ending goal and obsession in life, to unravel the mind of a killer. 

What neither of them had anticipated was the primal attraction and reaction they had with one another from their very first meeting, and they had no chance to fight it, even though they sure tried.

 

They both brought to light needs and personality traits they never had before and with anyone else.

Ian, who prides himself of always being in control of the situation, is shocked with the über dominant nature that Veronica brings to life in him. Which is the perfect contra balance for the her undiscovered needs. Her submission to Ian comes just as much as a surprise to her as his dominance came to him.

 And then his mouth is on mine and I forget anything—everything—that I was going to say. Instead, I just sink into it. Sink into him. 

And he lets me. More, he demands it of me.

Veronica was such a strong and incredible character, that is no wonder why Ian felt so draw to her. She has been fighting so many demons, and this latest role affected her so much more than she was expecting. But Ian helps her forget, in the most delicious ways…

Ian was such an incredible and delicious character. He is not without his own demons, but his inquisitive mind wants to find out what Veronica is hiding behind this well constructed facade, to find out what makes her tick. Without giving anything away, I’ll just say he ends up discovering so much more than he bargained, even about himself. 

She still looks beautiful, of course she does, but it’s a broken kind of beauty. 

Haunted. 

Fragile. 

Shattered. 

And still I want her. Still I want to bury myself so deeply inside of her that she’ll never get me out.

Veronica truly becomes his very own obsession, and the more he gets closer to her and sees behind her siren front, the more he wants her. More than he ever wanted anything else.

 

This was such an incredibly enthralling story, I devoured it in one sitting. Yes, it take a bit to develop, given its slow paced start, but after a bit it gets you completely hooked with it’s suspense. And have to doubt, for me it was an erotic psychological thriller at his best. 

I love Tracy Wolff’s writing, and this book was no exception, the intensity of the characters, the emotional turmoil were key to this perfectly constructed tale. My curious mind was just has committed has Ian’s to find out all the hidden secrets, and the result did not disappoint. Another of the ‘stand-out’ aspects was the unmeasurable chemistry between the main couple. You could truly feel they magnetism while reading, as if something palpable, so much so that the sexual tension was knife-cutting, and translated in some wicked sexy and HOT sex scenes. Definitely one of the highlights of the book. The thriller and dark aspect only enhanced them, making them more memorable and erotic.

Lovegame was an emotional roller coaster ride that I will not soon forget. Ian and Veronica’s love story will make you go through every feeling in the spectrum, but in the end you will be grateful for that journey and the amazing epilogue guarantees you finishing with a smile on your face and an happy feeling in your heart.
