Fast and hard. Despite her best intentions, that’s the way Tatiana Belikov rolls, and over the past year she’s tumbled head over heels for her former ex-lover. Hot, indulgent, and ready to cater to her every dirty whim? There’s no way she could resist.
Wyatt Caine is the house, and the house always wins—but love is a precious commodity that rarely crosses his table. His game plan? Drown his woman in pleasure before she realizes he’s hardly a safe bet.
Their happiness burns brighter than the spotlights on the Strip, but when his past rears its ugly head, casting a shadow on their bliss, Wyatt has an important decision to make: time to fold…or go all in.
I am so sad I finished this series because it was so good!!! Tatiana and Wyatt are adorable, their chemistry is off the charts, their story is second chance love which I adore and also they have the healthiest relationship development ever??? And fyi this is one of my fave series with bdsm because after Original Sinners, I hold bdsm books to super high standards and this one hit all the right places for me. The three novellas would make for a very descent sized stand alone so 10/10 recommend you binge read these beauties.
3.5 stars I really enjoyed this series, though this one is my least favorite. Points for the sister plot line (both her smart, sassy character and his protectiveness towards her), as well as the eventual bit. I think the orgy scene was meant to be edgier/hotter than it was, though, and it just didn't quite work/ring true for me. Or maybe I'm just cynical and think that everybody would jump right in and touch everybody else at that point, hah.
Really like this author, though. Must read her older titles, and the Akira one.
I enjoyed this series a lot. This book was my least fave out of the 3 only because there's one scene in this book that I didn't like because for me, it didn't feel organic to the couple (despite them being open sexually). I skimmed over most of that scene. But other than that, great conclusion to the series. Lovely ending.
Great conclusion to the trilogy! Rai continued expanding Wyatt and Tatiana as characters, as well as creating more depth in their relationship. I really enjoyed Wyatt's trajectory the most. His personal growth, acceptance of Tatiana's love and belief that he's enough had me swooning for him!
I have to say I love when adult books have characters that act like ADULTS. This series was so refreshing in that. People are flawed it's fact, and why so many books have flawed characters. What I love about this series and what Alisha Rai does here is show how people handle those flaws and life issues maturely. We all have the crazy fears and ideas, but to show characters that decided their partner is worth fighting for and not running away at the first sign of trouble is SO REFRESHING.
I really have to say the chemistry between Wyatt and Tatiana is perfection. I loved getting lost in their love story and this book was a beautifully dirty way to end the series.
Third and final part about Wyatt & Tatiana. While falling for each other again, Wyatt´s past is coming back to haunt him. Can they make it through this, and will Wyatt finally come to terms with it all? Smutty fluff and romance in a great combo, a lovely epilogue <3 and a bonus story wrapping it all up with a red bow.
First read: August 2015 (3 stars) Reread: April 2017
dear 2015!Lisa,
I know we usually don't give novellas a 4 because they're so short but come on, Alisha Rai's A+ quality smut trumps length tbh who cares? who cares if they're short
What a perfect ending to a wonderful trilogy! I highly, highly recommend these books if you like your romance dirty, emotional, kinky, and loving. Everything was so well done.
(Also, we see a little of Akira in this one! *heart eyes*)
The Bedroom Games series is half tears-in-my-eyes romance, half erotica. It's pretty much Hate to Want You lite. But, if like me, you read Hate to Want You and it left a horrible gaping hole in your heart, consider this series some cute, sexy spackle. While there's technically some insta-lust, it's a relatively slow burn, so the ending was super satisfying.
The series has much of the same themes that Alisha Rai writes about often (family, long-lost love, siblings, etc) but she always does them well. And as always, her characters are realistic and funny. Personally, I hated the tidy married life, middle aged epilogue and I found the whole series too heavy on kids, but ymmv.
This was a cute ending with much more plot and closure than I expected. Again, it could only go up from the first book, which seemed to be lacking in the plot area. This book actually had a lot more to it, with the step sister popping up, the sharing of his past and confronting his father, and eventually the engagement and marriage (with 4 adopted kids! Did not see that one coming). Oh, and of course, the group get together (which I liked more than I expected since there were clear boundaries set that I could understand). I was surprised there was no wedding or wedding night scene, and that the epilogue scene was kind of short, but overall I like the book and the closure it brought to this couple’s story.

This is the third installment of Wyatt and Tatiana’s story. Their commitment grows deeper, they’re both more mature. And the sex is as hot as ever!!! I enjoyed seeing Wyatt confronted to his past and the surprising way he had to do it. Even if in this series the sex took a large part of the story, it was also related to the characters personal growth and I enjoyed this! I plan to read more books by the author
even though its a short book, I really loved Wyatt and Tatiana's relationship and how healthy it was. it was also just the right amount of smut and romance.
This book really helps you to get more background knowledge on him and see if he has truly change.
While they were together the first time he made sure to keep her away from his dad because of the abuse. Well, in this book he needs to confront that abuse along with all the issue that come with it. Along with that she needs to decide if she can see a real future with him or if what they have right now is just a fling.
Why I read it: I enjoyed the first two books in the series so I bought this one as soon as it came out.
What worked for me (and what didn’t): I’ve come to expect hot sexy scenes in this series and this book did not disappoint – there’s even a brief f/f/m scene which was both kind of tame but super hot so I think it would work even for those who may not usually read f/f.
In this story, Wyatt and Tatiana have been together for a year. They haven’t said “I love you” but both are thinking it. Both are also nervous about fully committing out loud – for fear the other might not be ready or might run. What I really like about this series is that even when they have fears, even when their thoughts are at times immature and knee jerk, they act like adults. The set up was that Tatiana and Wyatt were together as teenagers/young adults and split amicably (but nevertheless both of them had broken hearts) ten years earlier. They split because they were immature. They didn’t have what it took back then to push past their fears and insecurities and communicate like adults. When they got back together, both of them decided to consciously act like grown ups. And they do. I found this both sympathetic (they’re not perfect people and they still have irrational thoughts and fears and knee-jerk reactions – just like everyone does) and also kind of charming. Given that my least favourite trope in romance is the Big Misunderstanding, it only stands to reason that I would have much love for the opposite of it. Sensible adults getting over themselves and putting their relationship first. That is so romantic and sexy to me I can’t even tell you.
This book hijacked my reading schedule as I hadn't even planned to start it as there were other books ahead of it on my never-ending reading list. But a remark from Alisha Rai on Twitter about it containing an orgy made it jump at me when I opened the e-reading app so I abandoned the schedule and started BET ON ME.
I read this one in practically one setting as I just couldn't stop reading once I started. The writing, the story, the sex it all blended together to make an awesome read that moved me, aroused me and at times made me laugh. There were some characters introduced that I was thrilled about learning that they are going to have future books in the series and I can't wait for those stories to come out. They will be at the top of my reading list when they do.
For me this was the best of the 3 Bedroom Games stories centered arounf Tatiana and Wyatt! It was the most emotional and the hottest! Two requirements to make awesome erotic romance reads for me and they made this one of my fave reads of 2014.
Fave scenes: The sorta orgy scene > well duh!! It was so so dirty...and I like dirty, a lot! The epilogue > perfect end to a perfect trio of books
Fave Quotes: She sighed. After a year together, one would think they would be less sex crazed. Weren’t they supposed to be past the honeymoon stage? She blamed it on his ass. His round, taut, bitable ass.
“Mind if we stop and grab a burger? You didn’t think to feed me before our big adventure.” She yawned, loudly. “Look, I could either arrange an orgy or make you a sandwich. I’m not superwoman.”
I've loved Tatiana and Wyatt since book one, so I'm completely biased when it comes to this couple. This was Wyatt's chance to grow, to put his past behind him and learn to trust in himself enough to know he could have a future with Tatiana. She, too, has a chance to learn that she's grown into a mature adult and can make decisions as an adult should, not as a teen would.
I really enjoyed this final book in Wyatt's and Tatiana's series.
Oh I really like Tatiana and Wyatt. This story was well done, with lots of interesting plot bits, funny dialogue and more kinky sex scenes. I love that Tatiana is unabashed about her kink, and she often take the lead in setting up scenarios for them. It was also fun to see Akira from A Gentleman in the Street.
Great conclusion to the trilogy! I love these two together. Can't believe I waited so long to finally read this. Looking forward to reading Akira's story, too.
