REVIEW: Play Me (Play Me #1-5) By, Tracy Wolff

 Play Me #1: Play Me Wild

In the seductive first installment of an eBook original serial from the New York Times bestselling author of Ruined andAddicted, a woman running from her past has finally found a bit of control . . . until her powerful new boss makes her go wild.

My name is Aria Winston. I’ve fought desperately to escape the seedy underbelly of Las Vegas. Now I’m on my own, in control of my own life and my own destiny . . . just the way I like it. Until Sebastian Caine changes everything.

Working as a cocktail waitress at one of Vegas’s hottest five-star casinos means putting up with a ton of bad behavior from the big spenders. But it pays the bills—and that’s all that matters to Aria, who needs every last dollar to escape from her father’s destructive grasp and the brutal man he expects her to marry. But when she lashes out against a billionaire who won’t take no for an answer, she nearly loses everything—until Sebastian steps in.

The owner’s son and handpicked successor, Sebastian is dark, sexy, and kinder than any rich man should be. And when he apologizes and offers to keep her job safe, Aria can’t help the way her body reacts to his. Suddenly her job, and the security it brings her, isn’t the only thing Aria wants.

Play Me is an erotic serial intended for mature audiences. Aria and Sebastian’s story continues in Play Me: Hot.

Play Me #2: Play Me Hot

Return to a world of secrets and desires. In the sultry second installment of an eBook original serial from the New York Times bestselling author of Ruined and Addicted, Aria and Sebastian turn up the heat. But will they get burned?

My name is Aria Winston. I’ve fought desperately to escape the seedy underbelly of Las Vegas. Now I’m on my own, in control of my own life and my own destiny . . . just the way I like it. Until Sebastian Caine changes everything.

If getting tangled up with her new boss is wrong, Aria doesn’t want to be right. Powerful men usually have a way of thinking they can take whatever they want while giving nothing back, but Sebastian is different. He’s gentle with her body. Rough in all the right places. And hot enough to make Aria break every last rule she’s set for herself. But with her history, it’ll take more than mind-blowing sex to heal the pain deep inside . . . no matter how good Sebastian’s intentions are. She’s spent her entire life fighting for control of her own life, and no one’s going to take that from her. But the more time she spends in Sebastian’s world, the deeper she’s drawn into his sensual games.

Play Me is an erotic serial intended for mature audiences. Aria and Sebastian’s story continues in Play Me: Hard.

Play Me #3: Play Me Hard

No one ever said love is easy. In the third installment of an eBook original serial from the New York Times bestselling author of Ruined and Addicted, Aria and Sebastian discover that building trust might be harder than they ever imagined.

My name is Aria Winston. I’ve fought desperately to escape the seedy underbelly of Las Vegas. Now I’m on my own, in control of my own life and my own destiny . . . just the way I like it. Until Sebastian Caine changes everything.

Ever since taking Aria under his wing and into his seductive domain, Sebastian hasn’t been able to think straight. Their chemistry is intoxicating. Their power exchange is exhilarating. And the sex leaves them both absolutely exhausted. But if there’s one thing Sebastian does know, it’s that he needs to protect this strong yet vulnerable woman. Because she has depths that are unknown—even to her. Aria has worked hard to establish herself as anything but submissive. That isn’t who she is, or who she wants to be. So why does it feel so sweet to give up control . . . and so intense when Sebastian takes care of needs she doesn’t even realize she has? But he has needs of his own—and secrets that run just as dark and deep as Aria’s.

Aria has learned to play Sebastian’s game. She’s given him control, taken it back, and let him push her farther than she ever imagined she could go.

Now she’s the one pushing Sebastian to the breaking point . . . and if one of them burns up, they’ll both go down together.

Play Me #5: Play Me Right

Good things never have to end. Tracy Wolff, the New York Times bestselling author of Ruined and Addicted, brings her eBook original serial to an unforgettable climax in Play Me’s sensational finale . . . for now.

My name is Aria Winston. I’ve fought desperately to escape the seedy underbelly of Las Vegas. Now I’m in control of my own life and my own destiny . . . but my future belongs to Sebastian Caine.

Technically, Aria may still be in one piece, but she’s feeling pretty damn close to broken. While she knows Sebastian would die before hurting her, their intense, steamy encounters have opened up old wounds in them both. Now Aria is considering the unthinkable: walking away again—this time to save Sebastian from the pain she knows her past will cause him. But Sebastian’s the one who set her free in the first place—how can she not show him the same care and compassion? Because, in the end, being together forever is the only thing that feels right.

Play Me Wild

“Tell me, Aria. How much does control mean to you? How far will you to get it?”

Play Me Wild is the first book in this amazing novella series. I mean it has everything sexual tension, mystery, and a sexy alpha male. Aria has done everything she can think of to get away from her family and a past she would rather not remember. She has been working as a cocktail waitress for almost a year and tonight is the first night she is going to lose her temper. Which leads her right into the arms of the wealthy owner’s son.

Sebastian has been running for ten years. Away from his controlling father and every horrible memory he has in Vegas. When his father becomes ill he has to come back and fix the disaster his father made of the casino. When he has to deal with a waitress that shouldn’t have been fired he has no idea what to expect with Aria.

The connection in this book is immediate. There is no build-up. You can feel it coming through your kindle. While there isn’t actually sex in this book it’s right there. Waiting at the surface for both of these characters to give in. The only thing I have a problem with is Aria. We don’t learn anything other than they both have secrets but she seems to be overly judgmental and jaded. We will see how this goes in future books.

Play Me Hot

“In its place, need is a desperate, destructive force between us, rising like a desert dust storm until it all but swallows us whole.”

Play Me Hot is the second installment in the Play Me novella serial and this is when everything starts to get good. Aria has given in to Sebastian’s play to get her to give in to him. She has some major reservations because you never take anything without having to give it back. Now she feels like the whore she swore she would never be. All because she ran from him when it was over.

Sebastian has finally taken a piece of Aria. They shared an experience that was so intense he let her run. Until he goes and checks on her while she’s working and realizes what a mistake that was. She has dropped from one high to the low and it’s his fault now he just needs to convince her to let him take care of her like he should have done the first time.

This book is where all of the hot steamy action takes place. They finally sleep together and then Aria runs. I didn’t really like it since I feel like Sebastian is showing her he isn’t the typical rich guy she is used to dealing with. Aria only thinks the worst of him and it bothers me a little bit. Hopefully she realizes he is different and hopefully we get to learn some of their secrets.

Play Me Hard

“And when he slides one long finger across my hip to my clit, I know that the damage is done. For now and maybe forever. I’m no longer in control of my own body. Sebastian is and he wields that control like a weapon- and a shield”

This is the third installment in this serial and it finally starts to get good. Not only are the steamy scenes still taking place but we get to see a softer side of Sebastian and a more vulnerable side to Aria. Sebastian and Aria are recuperating from Aria’s drop from subspace and wadding through what they are together.

Aria again assumes the worst and again Sebastian gives her another reason not to doubt him. He continues to prove that he is a good guy. A good guy with control issues. Obviously. While we don’t learn all of the secrets we are finally getting somewhere. I have been waiting to get some information and we are finally getting it. Tracy used the first to installments to cement Aria and Sebastian’s chemistry now I’m ready for the real stuff. Sharing and working through the secrets.

Play Me Real

“With any other guy I’d be running for the hills right now, but with Sebastian it feels right. Feels right to let him claim me. Feels right to let him touch me, taste me, take me any way he wants to.”

The fourth installment to the Play Me serial is probably the best so far. We get to learn Sebastian’s secrets. We get to learn why he ran. Why he hates his father. Why he never came back. And why he has control issues. We get to learn all of the dark and dangerous parts of Sebastian.

Aria finally gives in to her feelings. Give into Sebastian. She does this at the time he needs to the most. Until he takes it too far, takes her too far. He goes from being the broken man he needs an escape, to being just as controlling as every other man in her life. She loves him but it might not be enough to save them.

I was really excited for this installment. I needed something concrete about the character’s pasts to keep going. I feel like Tracy almost went to long without giving the reader something. The relationship wasn’t going to keep me going and Aria bothered me enough that she almost ruined it for me. Now I have something to hold onto. A reason to read the last installment and come out of this really enjoying the journey.

Play Me Right

“By the time I’m done, they will quite simply, have ceased to exist.”

I don’t think that I can talk about what actually happens in this installment or even give a summary like I usually would have. This is where everything happens. We get to see if Aria can get past what happened at the end of the fourth installment. We also get to know her secrets. Who she is and why she ran. If you have read all of these books the answers that you have been waiting for are in this book. It is so worth reading.

When I finished this though I went looking for other Aria and Sebastian books. This story doesn’t feel finished to me. This series felt like it ended right at the beginning. Aria and Sebastian have acknowledge their feelings and then the end happens. It just feels like there should be more. And not told through an Ethan Frost novel (which I love BTW). It’s their story to tell and I really hope there is more. This series is completely worth picking up.
