Why did I love this story? The whole MMA thing is, of course, way hot. As is him being a billionaire. And some of those scenes...OMFG I think the author plucked my fantasies straight out of my brain. I read this as part of a 4 book set. Definitely worth a read.

I was very disappointed in this one. No real flow to the book. They met, they kiss, and then they are in love. REALLY!!?? It had the potential to be something more, but it missed the mark for me.

This book had the chance to please me, but then the ridiculous insta-love happened. I wouldn't have mind if it was actually written well, but in this case it was fucking stupid and extremely fast. This is what the book basically is:Cassie Monroe get her dream job in Canyon Cove. She's warned about the boss, who happens to the billionaire playboy.But the billionaire playboy wants her and only her and he'll get her one way or another. Now sounds great right? No, no it wasn't, it fucking sucked. As...

😄Cassie had just moved from a small town to a busier city. Trying to find a job and affording her rent she sells her car. Now her roomate has hooked her up with an interview. But when she gets there the job hangs in the balance of one fight. When she gets the job she is warned one thing. Can she resist that one thing?

TerrificWhat a great story. She needs a job and is hoping the job interview goes well. Mack warns her about the suit. Little did she know the fighter she was flirting with was the suit.

this started out with some promise (as far as romance novels go) but then... ehh let's see:instaloveno real development of relationship after instaloveonly one real steamy scene (kinda disappointing for a romance novel, imo)happily ever after happened too early in the bookGabriel's chapters were incredibly disappointing and pointlessmore unrealistic than usual in a romancegiving it two stars because it was a quick read and the beginning was okay... but this just wasn't good and the last few chap...

I received this in a big bunch of books to stuff my kindle for the holidays. Cassie is down on her luck and really needs a good job. She doesn't expect that she will find a gorgeous man and job all in the same day. Gabriel was a little heavy handed at times but I enjoyed how their romance grew. It was a good read that I could not put down.

Playing Games is an entertaining read that kept me interested the whole way through. In this story, we meet two strong characters who also have hidden vulnerabilities. Cassie is a physical therapist with a Phd and a tough, spunky attitude. Despite these qualities, she is unemployed and broke. On a last-chance job interview, she meets former MMA-fighter Gabriel. He appears to be a rich playboy, selfishly breezing through life. Truthfully, he has secrets in his personal life that prove he is much

3 ½ out of 5 starsCassie Monroe is desperate to find a job in her field. She moves to Canyon Cove to get a new start in life but she also needs to pay the bills. When her roommate sets up an interview with her uncle for Cassie, she is thrilled to get a chance to put her physical therapy degree to use. What better place to work than a gym filled with gorgeous men?Gabriel Kohl is a billionaire who owns the hottest mixed martial arts organization in the city. He takes control in everything he does....

This one was just ok... it just seemed to lack a little something for me. I like the dual POV i feel that helps you to know the characters better. I didn't think Cassie had much of a back bone, even though she kept saying she would stand up for herself, she went along with everything the H said or wanted her to do all the while the H had a secret that was pretty big. Not going to continue with this series.

I loved this book. Everyone loves a hot billionaire, and this book is no exception for that. I loved everything about Cassie and Gabriel, and the little secrets here and there throughout the book give it an edge. I haven't read a book featured around MMA, so this was a little different from what I normally read but I still loved it nonetheless. If you love a sexy guy that rescues a girl, this book is for you!

Playing Games: Cassie and Gabriel: Canyon Cove Billionaires is by Liliana Rhodes. This is book one in the series of five novels about billionaires in Canyon Cove. The first book is really good. Liliana manages to infuse the romance with enough action and adventure to keep it interesting. It is told in alternating chapters by the two main characters. Cassie Monroe is broke and unemployed. She is hoping her life will change now that she has come to Canyon Cove. She is sharing an apartment with a r...

As they get to know each other better, Gabriel’s private life encroaches on the time they can spend together. But love will always find a way and Gabriel finally tells Cassie his secret and all is well. Lovely story, a fine romance with a holiday theme and family, his and hers.

This book made me mad... as in big time, spitting MAD!Cassie moves to the city and scores her dream job. She meets a gorgeous guy and they instantly fall in love.Now... the instalove was annoying, but I can deal with that in a trashy romance, I really don't need some big, elaborate plot in my romance novels to be honest. Just a nice bit of banter in between the sexy times will do me just fine, thank you!But what I do need, is respect! This book was ridiculous! Maddening! So, so... BAD!Gabriel, t...

This Book. So there is a lot of love - hate with this book. When i initially went into it , i knew it was going to be our typical billionaire romance. But the whole entire book take place in less then a year wich really bothered me. That was its first flaw, the relationship between the 2 main characters was basic and flat, i didnt feel a real connection between the two. The things i did like that brought this book up to a 3 was: 1. That for once in a book they finally have the guy say "She is de...

PlayingBillionaire meets desperate woman. He has secrets though. She works for him. When she found out his secrets.....She fell on love with her tooPassion, love and happily ever after. Loved it

I really wanted to like Cassie, at first she seemed spunky and just wild spirited but as the book progressed, I realized she wasn't any of those things, she was actually a doormat. You know one of those women who talk a big game in their head but when it comes down to it just end up shutting the fuck up and doing whatever people tell them to do? That was Cassie. Quite frankly, she was pathetic. She was easily swayed and manipulated to do any and every thing Gabriel wanted her to do. That, a stro...

You read a lot of negative comments about this book and are wondering whether you should give it a try anyways? NO - YOU SHOULDN'T This book really sucked. The story was a shallow tale about 2 people falling in love for NO OBVIOUS REASONS WHATSOEVERSPOILER ALERT, basically what happens:Gabriel: I want herCassie: I shouldn't to thisGabriel: *she has to obey*Cassie: *well ok then*And, oh yes, she is magically ok with all the moves he pulls. I don't get it. There is no in depth information on eithe...
