Product Description

Who would have thought a simple board game could change your life. Three women learn it can when they toss the dice, face a challenge or two, and win...love, laughter, and hot, hot sex. Playing for Keeps Maddy Beaudet needs to shake things up a bit, but playing a board game isn't exactly what she considers exciting. Jace Michael has just moved across country to recover from an ugly divorce. Anxious to dive into work with both feet, the last thing he needs is a distraction, but the minute he meets Maddy, his employee no less, and learns about the game she's playing with her friends, a whole different game comes to mind. Master May I? Britt Olsen is shocked when Andre Cruz-Romero delivers a birthday gift, mistakenly mailed to Britt's former home. Unfortunately, what she finds in the box isn't what Britt expected. Then again, neither is Andre. The sexy entrepreneur who sports golf shirts and khaki pants by day wears leather by night. And the room that used to house Britt's workout equipment now holds a different kind of...apparatus...for an entirely different kind of game. A Game of Risk Taking risks is what day-trader Olivia Blake's life is all about. Well, at least financially. Personally is another story. It takes the draw of a card for her to approach the man she's pined over, her older sister's brother-in-law. The minute she does, she wonders if she's made the right decision. EMT Ty Wilcox spends his days rescuing people who toss caution to the wind and get injured or worse in the process. Playing it safe is the only way to live. But after seeing Olivia in a skimpy dress that almost covers her vitals, he wonders if risk is the four-letter word he'd always thought it was.

5.0 out of 5 stars Private Games Is A Blast, September 5, 2006

By	Jennifer McKenzie "Jen" (Fortuna, California) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Private Games (Paperback)

Tawny Taylor is one of those erotic writers that makes me want to take mental notes for the bedroom. In these three stories, Ms. Taylor explores some hot ideas that were really fun. The stories all center around a new board game with "challenges" that lead her main characters into all sorts of situations and eventually to romance. As hot as she writes, Ms. Taylor doesn't ignore the romance. Her characters are fun and realistic and these stories showcase Ms. Taylor's ability to be sexy and sweet at the same time.

The perfect weekend read! This book has three stories based around women's different experiences with a racy board game, the stories are all of the perfect length with just enough "building up the scene", "the peak" and "the happy ending"
The writer has a background in psychology and romance writing, and skillfully builds dreamy characters into fantasy settings and appeals to the romantic in us all...you will feel good after reading this!
