review 1: I know the cover says novel, but the first page says A Games Novella. It's about 100 pages. This one is another reality TV Show - this time think The Bachelor. Juno is a broke glass artisan who's heart was broken 8 years ago by the love of her life, Heathcliff. Little does she know, Heathcliff goes to great extremes to get Juno back in his life, including starring in the reality show. Like many of the other heroines of the series, Juno does it for the money and isn't so pleasantly surprised with Heathcliff walks in. But the more time they spend together, the more she can't fight her feelings for her old flame.Like I said, its about 100 pages and a pretty quick read. I've loved this entire series so I can't wait to see what's in store for 2015 with Partner G... moreames.
review 2: Jessica Clare/Jill Myles/Jessica Sims is one of the authors I follow fairly closely. It all started when I picked up the freebie "Wicked Games." I wasn't expecting much, but to my surprise, it made me laugh, which is pretty hard to do. Before I knew it, I was hooked. I bought her other books and have liked a lot of them. I'm currently working my way through her backlist. The "Games" series is one of my favorite series by her, and while this is the latest entry in her series, it just didn't feel the same. It had less humor (one of her trademarks) and less steam (also one of her trademarks). Heathcliff wasn't as sexy as her usual heroes - think Jendan or Hunter. The romance between him and Juno lacked intensity, and I just felt like the story needed more length. This is one of her Games books, but it's also a book for the "Invitation to Eden" continuity series she has going on with other authors. I feel like the constraints of that series limited this book. I felt like her naturally bubbly/snarky/contemporary voice was stifled here. I do like this read, but it was quick and short, and it lacked the usual verve you can find in other Games books. Try one of her OTHER books if you're reading Jessica Clare/Jill Myles/Jessica Sims for the first time. less
