Lawless GamesReviewed by Kevin R. Tipple
It is a real pleasure to read a book that reads like a mainstream work with some added graphic sex thrown in. Where there is an intriguing plot, real characters with conflicts and where the characters evolve over the course of the book, and there is the added spice of some great hot sex. This is one of those cases and I highly recommend this book.
Chloe Hamilton is young and on vacation after graduating Law School in England. She awakens not sure where she is or whom she is in bed with. That is soon rectified and she discovers that she has unwittingly made a connection for future employment. Her bed partner is Jaspar Richardson currently on the run from some mob like figures due to gambling debts. His uncle is very powerful in the law firm of Clancy And Durham in London and he will talk to his uncle about getting Chloe a job.
The call is successful and she goes to the law firm to meet with John Richardson. Before she meets John; she meets Felicity Richardson, Jaspar's sister and John's niece. She takes Chloe to meet with John and get her first assignment. In addition to her work at the law firm, John is immediately interested in a more serious intimate relationship with her. While Chloe feels very tempted, she isn't quite ready for what he wants from her.
Soon after a short fling with another employee, she begins to accept more responsibility at the firm. Coupled with her responsibilities to the firm, she must navigate increasingly difficult political family infighting as well as John's sexual requests. He leads her in sexual ways that she did not know that she wanted and at the same time craves once exposed.
The stakes steadily increase, both publicly for the firm in their case, as well as privately between John and Chloe. Deceit, family relationships, office politics, blackmail, the occult and other topics come to life as the sex and the action moves to the Bahamas and back to London. As Chloe slowly discovers, nobody is what they appear and their public face hides many truths.
This is a very good book and a real pleasure to read. While the sex is hot, it is secondary to the various themes and intrigues among the characters. This is very much like a mainstream work with just some graphic sex pleasurably added to it. All in all, a very good read and I hope Emma Kaufman will grace us with more works in the future. This is one I can definitely recommend reading today!
