"You have chlamydia."
Three words no man wants to hear.
I've always been liberal with my appreciation of the female form, a firm believer in the 'try before you buy' principle, but living life to the fullest obviously didn't end well for me considering the unexpected—and very unwelcome—consequence of my free and easy past.
After living through the horrendous experience that was informing my recent sexual partners of my acquired 'condition,’ I made a vow to myself – and a bet with my best friend—that the next woman I sleep with will be the ‘one.’
What I will learn is that even when something happens and the games come to an end, there's always the chance of something—or someone—crashing in and changing everything.
So this is my story. It may start with a venereal disease, but I promise you, I’m determined to get my happy ending.
He leans back and crosses his perfectly toned arms over his chest.
“Impart your wisdom, oh wise bartender.” He takes another drink of his beer and—yet again—watching me like a hawk. I wish he’d stop watching me.
My confidence wavers under his intense stare but when I catch a knowing glint in his eye, it riles me up. There’s nothing worse than a guy who hides his unease behind a cocky façade, especially when I know there’s something genuine hiding there.
It’s one of the worst qualities a guy can have. It’s disingenuous and fake and if there’s two things I hate—in anyone—it’s that.
I square my shoulders and stand up straight, deciding to let him have it, putting my hands out in front of me to count on my fingers.
“One, you cheated on her.” He shakes his head, an amused smile playing on his lips.
“Nope. Next.”
“Two, connected to the first, you hooked up with her sister, best friend or mother . . .” He snorts at that one, chuckling under his breath as he shakes his head again.
“Right, then, the last three,” I continue. “Three through five are offending her family/job/friends or outfit, asking her to pay for your date and lastly, giving her an STD.”
His eyes grow wide and he sits bolt upright.
Bingo.
4.5 Stars
The fourth and final book in the Game Series. As much as I loved this book, I am sad to see the end of this series. I've come to love the characters that BJ Harvey crafts and each book in this series is full of fun, flirty banter and humor filled moments that have me laughing out loud. Game Ender was no exception, and each time you read one of their books, it feels like hearing from friends.
Thomas and Amy have both appeared in the previous titles in this series, so I was eager to read their story. Thomas is a bit of a ladies man, he doesn't tend to form long term attachments. Under his playboy exterior he is incredibly sweet, kind and romantic and beneath it all lies a heart of gold.
Amy is an incredibly endearing character. She's very strong, dealing with impending parenthood as a single parent, the result of a night with a co-worker.
Game Ender is well written, full of heart and humor with strong themes of friendship and family, it's an incredibly engaging and entertaining read.
I adored that so many familiar characters from both the Game series, and Bliss series appeared within this story line, and I hope that it is not the end to this fascinating and entertaining group of characters.
If you enjoy a slow burn romantic comedy Game Ender is the book for you.
