***5 ‘Playing With Thieves’ Stars***
*Takes a big deep breath and lets it out slowly*

Talk about being at on the edge of your seat with your heart feeling like it’s going to burst out of your chest at any moment type anxiety or is it anticipation?

Both?

We’ll go with both since I swear I feel like I can finally take a true breath and get my heart to calm down because Priest seriously had me going the whole entire time. Whether it was because of the insane sexual chemistry between Priest, Julian and Robbie (or any combo of the three) or from the crazy that was going on throughout the book, I was hooked and didn’t want it to end.

It’s no secret how much I love Priest, Robbie and Julien and this book simply solidified that fact. It is filled with all kinds of tension of all varieties, but what it shows is how much these three fit together. They shouldn’t, at least according to what most believe, but they do. They compliment each other even when they are at odds and find ways to give each …

***5 “Don’t Even Mock My Crazy Right Now” Stars***
I almost...ALMOST...passed this baby up.

The cover was the hook and when I read the synopsis I had that gut feeling that it could be a totally ME book, but then I looked at my reading “schedule” and I waffled a bit because I didn’t know if I’d have the time to read it, but then I saw a little convo between two GR reviewers (one I follow, one I don’t) and I figured I’d chance ‘em. And I am so damn glad I did because this was such a fun read. I mean the goodness that is in this book is kinda everything. Smexy, funny, intriguing and filled with characters I want to spend more time with and find out all of their secrets.

Sophia and Viktor were all kinds of everything and I absolutely adored them. Sophia can play the part of the princess and appear cold, untouchable and just slightly...bland. But the woman beneath is so much more. She is sassy, savvy, intelligent and a golden heart. Viktor is lethal. Which is an understatement because th…
