Kenya Wright wrote her first novel during her third year at UM Law school. She dropped out a month after the release and never looked back.
Words are power,
and Kenya wants to be the greatest wizard that ever lived.
It's an audacity to inspire
and teach the healing of love through arousal.
It's this crazy idea that love
can not only help a reader escape,
but the story can also teach the person
about being human,
while making them laugh,
cry,
and hot for more sex.

★★★★+! Theirs To Play (book 1). Two bored & jaded heirs’ game of seducing cheeky law student into bed turns complicated with lies, deceit & jealousy!
“Why not just hope to fuck me hard?”
“Because fucking you would never be enough.”
Books in the Billionaire Games series should be read in order:
Book 1: Theirs To Play
Book 2: Untitled
Theirs To Play opens up with Dawn sitting on Miami’s South Beach reading in preparation for her first year of law school. Billionaire brothers Frederick, Freddy and Maximillion, Max Knoll have been strolling the beach all day in search of their next conquest. They travel the world over on their luxury yacht, partying, gambling, sleeping with women and in boredom they periodically challenge each other to see who can get a girl in bed first.
Dawn is the only one who caught their interest, but she rejects their lame come-ons. Three years back her then millionaire boyfriend broke her heart and she is only in Miami to focus on school. But when Freddy and Max come clean about their contest, she agrees to go on dates with both merely to prove they are resistible.
On so their depraved game begins.... But what starts as sexy flirtation in a care-free bet soon becomes complicated when feelings get involved and lies are told…
Dawn: ~22 years/American-Puerto Rican/Law student/black hair/gray eyes.
Seven words to describe Dawn: Captivating, sassy, smart, cynical, sexy, insightful and interesting.
“Whether I gave him a chance or not, I relished in the fact that he’d remember me in years to come,”
Freddy: 28 years/Austrian-Spanish/Playboy/Heir/$$$$/brown hair/green (brown) eyes.
Seven words to describe Freddy: Mysterious, laid-back, enigmatic, smart, reflective, insecure and lost.
“Yes. I long to break you. It’s all I’ve been thinking about since we ate dinner last night.”
Max: 26 years/Austrian-Spanish/Playboy/Heir/$$$$/blond hair/blue eyes.
Seven words to describe Max: Blunt, jaded, despondent, lost, competitive, irresponsible and immature.
“Not many women left me with a hard-on. They always stayed and took care of me.”
Theirs To Play is alternating between Dawn, Freddy and Max’s POVs. I kept thinking solid 4-stars, but felt a strong potential for a 5-star only for their story and game to come to a screeching halt with a cliffy leaving not only two, but possibly three men vying for Dawn’s attention.
Excellent storytelling! Intriguing and fresh plot! Captivating and sassy heroine and at least two interesting candidates for her heart!
“I’m not Prince Charming. I’m the bad guy that sneaks into the castle when Prince Charming is off singing songs in the woods. I’m the one with the big cock that bends needy Cinderella over. And I’m the one that makes her scream until her throat’s raw and she can’t sing a note.”

★★★★ 4.5 stars!
"The worst thing my parents could've done to my brother and I was be rich." - Max
One woman.
Two brothers.
A game with three players and only one winner. Or is it two?
Max and Frederick are two handsome billionaire brothers with a lot of time on their hands and pockets full of money to spend. To make their lives a bit more exciting, they've come up with a game. A game in which both of them will try to seduce the same woman; and the one who gets her to fall for either of them first, is the winner. Now, they've found their new challenge/"victim": Dawn.
Dawn is unlike any other woman the brothers have ever encountered. She's not easy to play at all. She knows the game they're playing and decides to have her own fun by enjoying their attention and wealth for a little while, without having the intention of ever letting either one of them win. Dawn was a very refreshing heroine with a strong, feisty attitude and I loved the fact that she always stood up for herself. As for the brothers; they were both utterly charming and sexy as hell but .
After a while though, she does start to fall for one of the brothers and he admits to feeling the same way. But when feelings become involved, will the game still be so easy to play? And what about the other brother? Will he be able to accept his defeat or will he do whatever it takes to come out the winner?
Theirs To Play was a fun, sexy, fast-paced, highly original and captivating story that I could not stop reading once I started it. It's a fairly short read so it's the perfect kind of read when you just want to escape reality for a few hours. This is the first book I've read by Kenya Wright and I already know it won't be my last! The story does end on a bit of a cliffhanger, so I'm already anxiously awaiting the release of book two!

OMG...have you ever read a book where the story captures you to a point where you just want to be that heroine in the story so bad? I mean so bad that you look at your significant other and say to yourself....."WTF am I doing here?"
I want to be Dawn - oh hell yeah!! My God.....I was so engrossed in this book that I shut myself out from everything else and just read and read....but you ask me...."then why only 4 1/2 stars?" I'll tell you why....it is because of the ending - why oh why am I left with a cliff-hanger? I want more of Freddy, Max and Dawn - I want to know what happens?
I was so upset after finishing that I just had to email Kenya to rant and rave about the next book in the series ---- Hahahaaa....yeah that's so me!
This story line is not one that I have read before and that was a nice change to the cookie cutter books out there. This is about two brothers who have nothing better to do than betting on "who can sleep with her first".....yeah, I know you are saying to yourself "that's been done before" - and yes it has...but not like this or not like any book I have read in the past.
Dawn has had a very bad past experience with a rich man and is very cynical and untrusting of Max and Freddy when they approach her on the beach and start flirting with her. Dawn sees right through them and how shallow they really but she agrees to have dinner with them.
It is at dinner that Max decides to throw Freddy for a loop and blurts out the truth of why they asked Dawn to dinner - they have a current bet of who she will have sex with first. Dawn is attracted sexually to these two but knows that the shields around her heart are intact and finds amusement in having these two court her.
It is the men who are then flabbergasted when they find out that Dawn is nothing like their past conquests and heart-felt feelings start to bloosm in the men.
Will Dawn feel the same way? Who will she choose to have sex with, if any? Will she break her shields? Which faults will she uncover in these men and have them deal with it?
Wrap Up
This story grabs you from the moment you pick that book up to the very end. There aren't many erotic moments in this book but I believe it's building up to the next book in the series.....but you know what? That didn't matter to me because it was the story that got me...I loved reading about Dawn - she is my HERO!!
You HAVE to read about this cynical - strong woman!
Definitely worth picking this book up and taking a journey in Miami with Dawn, Max and Freddy!
Excerpt (Dawn POV)
When dealing with these two sexist pigs, I’d hoped to channel some great feminist in the history of women. Someone like Joan of Arc or Virginia Woolf. Sure it seemed a bit much, but this game that I volunteered for was more than us three. This was about lashing back at the theorized alpha male who thought he could do or say anything he wanted just because he had good looks, money, and the stupidity of a swollen ego.
When I walked up the boat’s ramp, I was supposed to appear regal and powerful, courageous and deadly like a lioness. Instead, with all the pretty butterflies swarming around me and stirring up my hair, I looked like a goddamn Disney princess.
And just to add insult to injury, Frederick appeared behind me. “You’re more captivating than Cinderella, right now.”
Fury boiled in my veins. I was hot and ready to bubble over. “Well I’m not Cinderella and you’re no Prince Charming.”
On the center of the ramp, he stepped closer to me. I refused to inch back like a scared little damsel in distress.
But, I probably should have moved away.
Frederick’s masculinity encircled me. It was such a silly thing to think, but it did. His woodsy cologne trapped me to him. The profile of muscles under his thin white shirt kept my focus. The wind picked up as if under his command, raising my dress just a little and brushing soft wisps against my flesh. I shivered.
“Oh no,” he whispered to me like a lover to his devoted. “I’m not Prince Charming. I’m the bad guy that sneaks into the castle when Prince Charming is off singing songs in the woods. I’m the one with the big cock that bends needy Cinderella over. And I’m the one that makes her scream until her throat’s raw and she can’t sing a note.”
“I had no idea Cinderella got so much action.” I slipped away and hurried up the ramp, doing my best to outrun the butterflies and Frederick, who I was now going to call the Big Bad Wolf.

This book was very entertaining. It is written in 3 Person Povs and is indeed a love triangle which ends with a cliffhanger. The author used humor, hot sex scenes and also threw in a bit of mystery.
”He dragged his gaze over my body. “You look beautiful.”
“Whatever.” I wore black yoga pants and a shirt with Star War’s Yoda flipping the bird on the front.”
Frederick and Max are uber rich brothers who live off their parents’ wealth. They are bored by all woman who they meet falling at their feet, so they amuse themselves by picking one woman to both their liking and pursuing her affections at the same time. Once the woman sleeps with one of the brothers’ he is deemed “the winner”.
Enter Dawn our heroine who KICKS ASS! She is brilliantly sarcastic and a whole lot of fun to go through this “game” with.
”I would let them carry on the dumb-ass-ness of the situation, while I enjoyed the perks of the rich life for a few days.”
She sees right through each guys B.S. and breaks them down while snaring their hearts.

I loved the heroine but both these guys are a bit of hot guy messes.
I will be reading the next book to see where Kenya Wright goes with the story next!

I got deliriously high from reading this book and there's a possibility of rating upwards, if the sequel is ever released (yay! after 4 long yrs, Ms Wright released the sequel today- 08/07/2017).
Four words to describe this book. Intelligent. Hot. Suspenseful. Hot. With a side bonus of a perfectly kickass female protagonist. I could not put this down.

Dawn is a gorgeous and very dynamic law student. Frederick and Max are two billionaire brothers who treat life like a game. They enjoy twisted games… they date one unsuspecting woman and compete to see who can bed her first. Then, they dump her and move on to their next victim. Dawn is their new target – she’s tough and difficult but the two brothers soon realize that if they make an effort, she’s totally worth it.
How two men should seduce a woman? And, how the rules of the game change when Dawn is aware about the game and her role in it?
Freddy and Max try everything. They are both perfect in building the sexual chemistry, they get close to her, they try to get to know more about her and the things she likes, they become naughty with her and worship her with lavish gifts.
Tender kisses and whispers lead to sexy moments and unbridled passion. Dawn decides to play along, despite the risk of being left heartbroken. Eventually, she becomes the one who leads and sets the rules of this awkward game a trois. Jealousy, desire, egoism, surrender, betrayal, love. All come to the surface and threaten relationship balances, and make all of them question their initial motives and expectations.
This is not an erotic ménage love story and ends with a cliffhanger. The story is breathtakingly well written with detail and heart. What I like about this book is how non-conventional it is and how Dawn kept trying to help both brothers overcome their destructive behavior. The characters are well-rounded, the story left me emotionally exhausted, but it was worth every minute. My only problem is that I wanted the book to have been faster-paced and darker in mood and emotions. The dialogues are pointed and memorable, simply amazing. Can’t wait for the next book!!

*ACR copy in exchange for honest review*
OMG ! THIS BOOK WAS FREAKING AHMAZING ! LMAO !!! SERIOUSLY ! The characters....the storyline....the 'EVER FREAKIN THING WAS....
And u know what the best thing about this whole book is ? It actually has a PLOT ! (I mean seriously its been a while since i read a good erotica that didnt follow Fifty shades in a while :P so i really appreciated it..lol) A nice solid plot..with a kickass heroine and 2 hot sexy alpha males ;)
“Im in the business of lust.”
I stepped back. “Well, too bad I’m already taken care of in that department.”
“Boyfriend?”
“No, but I have friends."He licked his ulips again. I was really starting to detest the way his tongue’s movements snared my attention to the point that I could never look away.
“I feel really bad for these friends, Dawn.”
“Why is that?” I asked.
“They’ll be nothing once you and I become friends.”
Omg....*sign* i am freakin swooning here !!! FREDERICK has killed all my chance of actually falling in love with a real life guy...cause im head over heals in love with him !!! And. DAWN shes a kickass heroine..(i know..im starting to repeat myself ) lmao but i cant help it ! This book seriously surprised the WOW outta me ! :)
I CAN NOT wait for book 2 !!! Any release date is too far with THT KIND OF ENDING...im ready to go on my knees and starting begging 'PLEASE ' for some more ! Lol...definatly adding it to my favourites shelf ! :D

I need to say this before I say anything else: I Love you Kenya Wright!!!LOL It has never been a secret that I have wanted to live inside this authors head since the first book I read of hers a few years back. I think Kenya is brilliant and her imagination is so creative that it is impossible for me not to admire her. When I first saw the cover of this book, I thought that it was going to be hard core erotica, maybe a threesome, and mostly just hardcore sex. I have no idea why I thought that, but I did! Instead, I once again was blown away by Kenya's talent and became immediately absorbed in a unique storyline that was enjoyable and full of substance.
This is a story about two rich,bored, and selfish brothers; who have nothing better to do than play with woman's lives carelessly. They call it a game, and the object is to see which brother can make the woman targeted fall in love with them. Once the woman's heart is engaged, that is when they break it and the more she begs the better the victory. It is extremely heartless and rude if you ask me, and I wasn't impressed with Freddy and Max no matter how hot they were. Then one day they come across a new challenge; her name is Dawn and she turns the tables on them. Dawn is an extremely independant woman who doesn't take crap from nobody, and she turns the game around on these brothers. The seducers suddenly become the ones that are being seduced, and I have to say that I enjoyed every single minute of watching them squirm! I will also add that Dawn is a heroine that most women are going to love. She is not one of those heroines that lose her identity and lie back and spread her legs for a stud. Oh no, she makes the stud get down on his knees and do the begging! It was such a pleasure watching Max and Freddy not know what the heck they were going to do about this sudden attraction they had to this unique woman.
You see, the name of the game changed because one of the bros accidentally spilled the beans to Dawn about how they play with women's hearts. With her being aware of the game she made dang sure she would not trust these spoiled rich boys. She has already had her heart broken by a wealthy man, and she will not ever put her heart on the line again. The ironic part in all of this is the fact that especially in Freddy's case, the game no longer holds the same appeal. Freddy is beginning to feel some foreign feelings about Dawn, and he is unsure exactly what to do or where to go with them.
"I want to be lost in you for several hours. I want to destroy you until you can't see or think about anything else but me. I have to command your body and capture your soul."--Freddie
Sounds like an interesting storyline, doesn't it?! Well, it is; and there is even more! I don't want to give any more away though, so all I will say is that both Freddy and Max get way more than they bargained for. There are also some more reveals when it comes to the bros, and not all is fun and games with them. In fact, one of them has a serious problem. Will he be able to overcome it? Does Dawn give in to them? Or does she pick just one of them? There are so many uncertainties, and all I can say is that I highly recommend this book if you are looking for a great book that is highly entertaining!
This is definitely one of those books that I can see being overlooked. I think it would be sad if others didn't give this one a chance. It is truly an enjoyable read, and its amusing watching the brothers wine and dine Dawn, and work so hard to have her. There isn't tons of sex in this book; but there is some. The sex that is included in here is hot! Kenya knows how to write a smoking hot love scene, and it just enhances an already highly great read. So to all of you readers out there who are in a bit of a slump and don't know what to read next..Give this gem a try, I am thinking you won't be disappointed. It is so nice to find a book that doesn't fall into the same pattern as so many of the others are in lately. I am glad I got to read a book with a fresh new idea, and I can't wait for the next book in this series. One more thing: there is a bit of a cliffie!!It wasn't one that left me mad; however I am very eager to get the next book in my hot little hands!! (hint hint!!)
Thank you Kenya Wright for gifting me a copy of "Theirs to Keep!" I loved every word of it, and now I want more!! LOL♥

Say hello to
Frederick
AND
Max
These billionaire brothers enjoy twisted games, where
they find a female,
date her,
and
compete to see who can bed her first.
Too bad they picked the wrong one this time.
Dawn
Dawn's POV
When dealing with these two sexist pigs, I’d hoped to channel some great feminist in the history of women. Someone like Joan of Arc or Virginia Woolf. Sure it seemed a bit much, but this game that I volunteered for was more than us three. This was about lashing back at the theorized alpha male who thought he could do or say anything he wanted just because he had good looks, money, and the stupidity of a swollen ego.
When I walked up the boat’s ramp, I was supposed to appear regal and powerful, courageous and deadly like a lioness. Instead, with all the pretty butterflies swarming around me and stirring up my hair, I looked like a goddamn Disney princess.
And just to add insult to injury, Frederick appeared behind me. “You’re more captivating than Cinderella, right now.”
Fury boiled in my veins. I was hot and ready to bubble over. “Well I’m not Cinderella and you’re no Prince Charming.”
On the center of the ramp, he stepped closer to me. I refused to inch back like a scared little damsel in distress.
But, I probably should have moved away.
Frederick’s masculinity encircled me. It was such a silly thing to think, but it did. His woodsy cologne trapped me to him. The profile of muscles under his thin white shirt kept my focus. The wind picked up as if under his command, raising my dress just a little and brushing soft wisps against my flesh. I shivered.
“Oh no,” he whispered to me like a lover to his devoted. “I’m not Prince Charming. I’m the bad guy that sneaks into the castle when Prince Charming is off singing songs in the woods. I’m the one with the big cock that bends needy Cinderella over.
And I’m the one that makes her scream until her throat’s raw and she can’t sing a note.”
“I had no idea Cinderella got so much action.” I slipped away and hurried up the ramp, doing my best to outrun the butterflies and Frederick, who I was now going to call the Big Bad Wolf.

4.5 stars!!
Money can’t always buy you everything in life. These two billionaire brothers learn that lesson the hard way.
"I’ve tried to own her, but she can’t be bought. I’ve tried to romance her, but she already sees the true me. ..For other women, I’ve always been the wolf in the sheep’s clothing, mingling with them and then stealing their hearts at ease. This one unzipped my disguise before I could even utter a word.” - Frederick
My thoughts: Holy sh*t batman, Kenya Wright you sure crafty with this one and a mean one at that for that cliffhanger!
Being my second read from you, I have to say that Dawn, the female heroine, totally kicked ass!! I mean, she told our two playboy womanizing billionaires where to stick it and would call them out on their crap.
I loved how Dawn starts making them (well, more so Frederick or “Freddy” as she calls him) re-evaluate their behavior and make them start rethinking old habits and strive for their dreams.
She makes our two male heroines look like two "blackhearted" persons who campaign around the globe while playing women and gaming them into seeing who can get the girl into bed first and then break their heart in the end.
Max, one of our rich manwhores, is the gambler and the more hard one to reach and never satisfied fellow of the two. Whereas, Frederick, is more moldable and starts developing a conscious about his actions and starts thinking about what he wants to do with his life along with trying to establish a committed relationship with Dawn (in which she is adamantly reluctant to even though she likes him).
I was super glad that Dawn never falters on her preconceptions on Frederick and Max. She sticks to her guns. You may think that she just has trust issues and albeit she does, but she does have legit reasons. I mean, come on, Max did spill the beans of what they did to women as a game. How can you ever easily trust any man or person like that?
How will things turn out for these three? Will they find love or are they fated for heartbreak? Can Dawn truly trust that Freddy’s changed? Will Max turn his gambling problem around? And will the sudden appearance of Dawn’s ex squander the progress of these lovers’ steamy affair?! Read and you will find out!

3.5 stars!
The Plot : really interesting! Two spoiled billionaire brothers, Freddy and Max, treats women as sport! Each month or two, they would court one unsuspecting woman together and battled for her love. The winner would be the first one to have slept with her. Then, they'd dump her, brokenhearted and all, and move on to the next victim. This time their target was Dawn.
Dawn has had a rich boyfriend who cheated on her and his been calling her every Sunday trying to get her back. She is not about to let these two men make her theirs to play.
It started off kinda slow for me but interesting. I get to know the difference between the two brothers. And from the start you can tell that Dawn is pretty much attracted to one more than the other. And the more she says "no", the more they'd want her. Of course! Men!
Close to the end part of the story, I was really rooting for Freddie. Though he kinda weirded me out with that tattoo thing.
Max, he seriously needs help. That scene where he jerked off while watching, that was just hilarious!!!!
And you can't help but love Dawn's character... she says it as it is.
The plot thickens towards the end... just when it got real interesting, ding ding ding, it's a cliffy!
That said, I can't wait for the next book!!!!

First, I want to thank the author, Ms. Kenya Wright for contacting me on Goodreads and asking me to read and review her book, Theirs to Play. When I first read the blurb, I was intrigued and also a little hesitant since it involved two brothers vying the attention of one woman. I usually avoid love triangles because my emotions can never take it and usually the characters that I root for ends up not getting the girl but this was not the case. As for in Theirs to Play, I was surprised on how much I really enjoyed reading this book and it reminded me of the movie, Cruel Intentions. From the prologue to the very last page, this book kept me entertained and left me wanting for Theirs To Crave (book 2).
Frederick and Max are European brothers who live a life of leisure and luxury. They are gorgeous, rich and can have any woman they want. With a billionaire father, they don't have to work but just travel the world, spend money left and right, and have any women at their disposal. So what do two rich brothers do to keep themselves entertained? Well, they make wagers and choose a woman they both would seduce and see who would get her to fall in love with them first and sleep with. In other words,they don't care of the many hearts they hurt since its all a game for them since they have nothing better to do.
When Frederick and Max docks their yacht in Miami, their eyes caught the attention of Dawn,an Irish-Puerto Rican,who is a first year law student. For Max, he gets his thrill with gambling while Frederick gets his thrill in this game of seduction and chase. Well the game got interesting for Max when he ups the ante and makes a wager with his older brother on who can bed Dawn first. For Frederick, he is attracted to Dawn and is drawn to her sexual charisma and personality. As for Dawn, this is not her first time being seduced and courted by a wealthy man so she knows from the get go what these two brothers are trying to do. Dawn can only be described as sassy, intelligent, sexy, captivating, and insightful. She is one strong heroine who knows how to play the game. She sees what Max and Frederick are trying to do and decides to play along knowing she can't fall for their charms.
Well with two men vying for her attention, Dawn is one strong heroine which I absolutely adored about her. She was never the damsel in distress and knew her score when it came to the game Max and Freddy were playing. She saw through the facade each brother had. Never meeting a woman who challenged them so much, both brothers couldn't help falling for her beauty and charm especially Freddy. At the end of in Theirs to Play, the triangle and has now become a square when her ex-boyfriend comes back into the picture at the end of the book.
Overall, I enjoyed reading this book and finished it one sitting. I enjoyed the alternating POVs of Dawn, Frederick and Max. It gave readers a greater insight on the different personalities of each the main characters. The only thing I have to complain about this book is that it ends with a cliffhanger.

Hell to the no.
Do me a favor and read this before buying this book, if after that you still think it's a good idea reading it, then go ahead!
I only read 7% of this. That's right, 7%, and I just couldnt keep wasting my time. Maybe it gets better later... Maybe it doesnt. I dont care. First impressions, as with people, are important to me when it comes to books. Generally when I mark as DNF one is because it was boring me... This, this was just idiotic.
The first scene is told from the chick's POV, these brothers are approaching her, and they say the most lame and douchy pick-up lines ever, things like:
"We are in the business of lust."
YET, here are some of her reactions:
"Being ogled by men annoyed me. Being ogled by hot rich european brothers... Well... Fine, it turned me on."
"Already I was stupidly reconsidering leaving the beach and remaining there with them."
"Interrupting me while studying a boring topic is one thing. Inviting me to the most expensive restaurant in Miami is another thing."
"They are odd, but hey, who am I to judge? Either way, they wont be sharing me, but they definitely will be spliting my bill."
This woman is just a moronic gold digger. Why in the world would I want to read a book with a character like that? And with two brainless douchebags?
I honestly dont know what else to say. I could have added even MORE lines, but I think those are enough to make my point. Like I said, first impressions matter, and with a few pages this book managed to lower my IQ just by association.

Clarification of rating - 3.5 stars.
Cover & title - 4 out of 5
Favourite quote - “I’m not Prince Charming. I’m the bad guy that sneaks into the castle when Prince Charming is off singing songs in the woods. I’m the one with the big cock that bends needy Cinderella over. And I’m the one that makes her scream until her throat’s raw and she can’t sing a note.”
Favourite Character - Dawn
I read the blurb of this book and i was like..
I was expecting something really twisted.. a bet/game over a women between two brothers.. rich/charming/sexy brothers I must add, it sounded awesome. But I was disappointed, as soon as she was made aware of the fact she was a game to them it completely lost the wickedness. I wanted it to be really fucked up but it just wasnt.. it was pretty tame..
Now that my disappointment has been mentioned and is out of the way I will tell you what I did enjoy about the book.
1. Dawn as a whole, her dialogue & drive is impressive/amusing/entertaining.
2. The humour, there are a few parts of the story where i laughed out loud.
3. The ending, it is setting the scene for a whole load of creepiness in the next book.
I am planning on reading the next in the series.

I saw a book from this author come across my feed so I decided to see if I had any books by her and lo and behold I'd gotten a freebie back in 2014! So I decided to read it because the blurb seemed interesting enough. I have to say that this book way surpassed any expectations I had.
I really liked Dawn; she was one smart cookie. I liked Frederick more than Max because he had more personality so I was rooting for him. The sex doesn't come until 75% but it was hot and the voyeur scene was sick, depraved, and fucking hot!!!
This does end on a bit of a cliffhanger but I will definitely read Theirs to Crave, hopefully it's free or on Kindle Unlimited. Highly recommend.

I was really intrigued by the game that these two brothers were playing and Dawn's indifference toward them and their game. Unfortunately I think both of those things ended too soon in the book. I felt like it quickly lost this intriguing plot and became more about these two crazy brothers and the girl sort of but not really caught between them. There was a cliffhanger, however I think I'll be passing on the second book.
November 25, 2013
Let me start off by saying that I knew I would like this book before I ever even started reading it. Why? Because it's about billionaire brothers who compete against each other to see who can take a woman to bed first. UMMMMM YES PLEASE!
But Dawn isn't about to let Freddy and Max just waltz into her life and play her--she's a better woman than me. I was drooling from the first page.
Dawn isn't impressed by flashy cars, fat bank accounts, and hot bodies. And trust me, their bodies ARE hot.
In spite of her attempts to stay away from the brothers, she finds herself intrigued by and attracted to both. LUCKY.
They are both determined to woo her… until they both want more than winning the game…
I loved all of the characters. That's right all of them. There is one brother that is more favorable than the other, but I was drawn to both of them. (Of course I am a hardcore love triangle lover) Both of the guys were flawed and hurt from things that happened to them in the past. Dawn was equally as flawed, but that's what made them such an intriguing group.
THAT ENDING THO!
Can't wait for book 2!!
January 24, 2015
The worst thing my parents could've done to my brother and I was be rich.
Okay, I loved it, but probably not for any sane reason. What I loved most of all, was Dawn, the sarcastic comments and the power she had on both of them. I know it's a bitchy thing to say, but I do enjoy heroines that don't put up with the hero's shit and hold her ground.
"How do you know I'm mixed?"
"Because there isn't one race all over the world that owns your type of beauty…"
Basically, Frederick and Max are two sexist spoiled brothers who compete to get a woman interested, see who ends up taking her to bed first and then leave her either crying or yelling at whoever wins. Dawn is their next catch, but the problem is that she's nearly not as easy as the women before her. She manages to see through their bullshit in the most brilliant way. She has some self-esteem and clever words coming out of her mouth. That just means they have to step up their game to beat her. What was supposed to be a game, turns into something much, much more.
"If," she said, "and this is a low probability, but if you spread my legs, you better be hungry and lowering yourself to your knees because I don't give my moans out easily. You'll have to earn my pleasure, just like you'll have to earn an invitation to my bed."
All of the characters are so messed up and when you put them all together, it makes a good story.
Frederick is, according to him, the one that all women want and if he fails that's when they consider/go to Max. He takes his time with each woman, learning their dreams and fears.
Once I realized the one thing that would make them happy, I became the pathway to it. If she dreamed of being an actress, I discussed how I had a movie in the works. If she'd just had her heart broken, I transformed into Romeo, catering to her needs and massaging those broken feelings.
He also has a soft side when it comes to his family.
Max on the other hand, is the careless one with an addiction to poker. He would impress the girl with jokes and pray that's enough and "go for the kill".
The ocean was my home and the game, my only true pleasure after gambling.
Dawn is very aware of the game they're playing and finds it rather amusing. She decides to play along with them and have some fun for herself. She may come off as a bitch but she has plenty of reasons to be the way she is. She has had her heart broken before and she's not willing to let the brothers get under her skin.
This book is very entertaining. It's told from each POV. It's fast paced and short for my taste, but I couldn't look away from it. I want them all to have a HEA, but I want them to earn it (HA HA).
Of course, there's a cliffhanger... why not make things more intense? It's not THAT bad but it's there and I'm anxious to know what's the deal with the psycho. There's a teaser of Theirs to Crave (book 2) at the end and by the looks of it, it will be more angsty than this one.

Freddy and Max are brothers who have it all, they live the life of leisure. Neither one having to work, they travel the world and sail the seas.
For Freddy he likes playing with women to over come his insecurities, and what better way then to make them fall for you and leave them. For Max he is bored with this live, the only thrills he gets are when he's betting it all or playing with women. So the boys make a competitive game out of it. They agree on a girl to peruse to fall in love with them, the first one to sleep with her is the winner.
"Does your game involve me?"
"Yes." I held her gaze.
"Interesting." She sipped from her glass of white wine. "Am I the prize or the means to get it?"
... "You're sort of both."
Dawn is new to Florida, studying the summer away as she prepares for law school. She's not interested in the two Adonis of men that cant seem to take no for an answer. Having her heart broken in the past by a hot, rich jerk she knows trouble when she sees it.
'This was about lashing back at the theorized alpha male who thought he could do or say anything he wanted just because he had good looks, money and the stupidity of a swollen ego.'
This was agreat amazing freakin story. Wright made you fall in love with two a$$holes, which is a hard thing to do. I found myself rotting for them! And Dawn is one of my all time favorite heroines. She didn't fall all over herself because a hot guy was paying her any attention. She makes these boys WORK! The dialogue was funny, witty banter, put downs and deflating of egos. Not to mention the sexual tension was off the charts!
"Oh no," he whispered to me like a lover to his devoted. "I'm not Prince Charming. I'm the bad guy that sneaks into the castle when Prince Charming is off singing in the woods. I'm the one with the big cock that bends needy Cinderella over. And I'm the one that makes her scream until her throat's raw and she cant sing a note."
See?! Wright has a way with words that will leave you begging for more. So this is me, begging, pleading, to have the next book soon, because I cant NOT wait!!

Kenya Wright delivers another great read but I've got to say I feel there are several things missing! When I started reading this story I didn't realise it was part of a mini-series until the end, so perhaps my view is coloured from that perspective.
Here's what I loved about this book:
The author's style is so descriptively sensual that my whole body and mind comes alive as I'm reading this story.
The ending of this book is so cleverly done and such a hook that I've got to pick up the next book in the series.
Here's what I didn't like about this book:
Let's start with the two narcissistic millionaire brothers. I didn't like either of them, although by the end I was hoping they would redeem themselves.
Dawn is a smart, strong and sexy woman. But you know what, that's all there was to her, apart from the fact that we should pity her because her heart had been broken by a psycho millionaire ex-boyfriend.
So what? From an author who writes smart, strong and sexy female heroines, this is kind of a template. Where is her likeability?
Paige (The Babysitter) had likeability because she loved and took care of Blake and the kids even when she wasn't getting Blake's love in return.
Lanore (Fire Baptized) had likeability because she cared for more than just herself. She was willing to put herself in danger for other mixbreeds.
So here's my appeal to the author, please give Dawn more than just a sexy body and a smart mouth in book 2.
All-in-all, I enjoyed this book and as I wrote previously, I've got to read book 2, Theirs to Crave when it's released. So roll on 2014.

This was an hour of my life I’m never getting back.
December 7, 2013
Freddy and Max are millionaire brothers. They both live the life of leisure, traveling around on their parent's money. During their travel's the brothers enjoy playing games with the women they meet. They make bets with each other to see who can bed her first. However when they meet Dawn in Miami they may have met their match as Dawn is instantly on to the boys and their game.
I must say that the plot really interested me and it didn't disappointed, I really enjoyed it. I found the storyline to be quite refreshing to other millionaire stories that normally follow the same pattern. The story is told Freddy's, Max's and Dawn's point of view so you really get a good insight to the main characters. The dialogue was funny with witty banter and put downs.Not to mention the sexual tension was off the charts. I loved that Dawn was a strong female character and I could help but route for both Freddy and Max at times. at times I really didn't want to put my kindle down as I wanted to know who would win. The story really picks up in the second half of the book with some very seriously hot sex scenes.
The story is very well written and flows really well. I must say that although the books ends on a cliff-hanger, I thought it was a brilliant twist and I look forward to how story continues in the next book.
Overall a great fun, sexy read and I'm looking forward to the second book.

I loved that Dawn was a strong female character and I could help but route for both Freddy and Max at times. at times I really didn't want to put my kindle down as I wanted to know who would win. The story really picks up in the second half of the book with some very seriously hot sex scenes.
The story is very well written and flows really well. I must say that although the books ends on a cliff-hanger, I thought it was a brilliant twist and I look forward to how story continues in the next book.
Overall a great fun, sexy read and I'm looking forward to the second book.

One of the biggest things a millionaire asked in his head as a sexy beauty wrapped her mouth around his erection was if she did it because she craved him, or was she doing it for the money. I never had to ask that question. The answer never changed. All women did it for money.
The concept for this book was really intriguing...two uber wealthy brothers vying for the attention of one girl with a sum of $200K riding on who she picks. It had kind of a bachelor feel to it in the beginning. I liked how it alternated between all 3 POVs and it kept you on your toes guessing what was going to happen next or who she would choose.
Dawn was extremely feisty and put off by these two brothers and made it her mission to be sure they knew she was not playing their game or that she wouldn't end up in bed with them. Her attitude towards rich men was the driving angst in the book.
The book ends in a cliffy with a bit of suspense surrounding it. All in all Ms. Wright wrote a nice tale of Dawn, Freddy and Max!

I'll admit... this book was not my usual type of book. But it came highly recommended by a good friend and fellow author so I decided to give it a go. And I'm so glad I did! Plus that cover...ummm GORGEOUS!!!
This was exactly what I needed as a follow up to a darker more emotionally disturbing book I read earlier in the week. This was fresh, well-written and sexy as hell.
I loved the whole premise of two brothers trying to "play" a girl while also trying to one-up the other brother. It's sadistic in a totally normal sibling rivalry type of way. haha.
I LUUUUURVE Dawn. She is a feisty, snarky female lead and I admired her from the moment she appeared on the page. She's my kinda girl. I love female leads that are confident, smart AND sexy all at the same time. Can I just say how jealous I am of her too? TWO HOT GUYS VYING for your attention?! Umm, yes please!
I just really enjoyed this book. It was a fun, sexy romp and the ending is epic.
If you like smart ass characters, sexy steamy scenes and an enthralling story -- this one is for you!

***** 3.5 - 4 GAMING STARS *****
This story is quite intriguing.
2 very rich brothers both bet on the affections of women. The first one to bed a woman, wins the bet.
Until......
They meet Dawn, and actually tell her (once she cottons on to them) that she's nothing more than a bet to them.
The 2 brothers try and wine and dine and we see her going out on dates with both of them on separate occasions.
She's fairly head strong and tell them that neither is going to win the bet, but the brothers have their own ways to try and win.
Then we have a mystery man.....
Now he seems intriguing to me.
I liked this book, I found it interesting.
BUT....
If you don't like 'love' triangles then this book IS NOT for you.
1 woman and 3 men.
Yep,book 2 will be very interesting.
This is written in 3 POV's, the 2 brothers and Dawn.

Oh Ms. Wright, how I love and hate you right now!
Theirs To Play is a book about two deprived, narcissistic, soulless brothers learning about life and the woman who doles out the lessons. And I love every glorious dirty-sexy second of it!
Think modern Cruel Intentions but with brothers. Reading how Dawn schools this naughty twosome made this one of my favorite books of the year!
But Miss Wright, I am a stickler for endings and yours has me torn.
I hate how the story just ends with what felt like a minimal conclusion, but damn, does this woman know how to write one mean epilogue! Kenya had me salivating for what would come next and ready to take a bite out of her ass for not providing me with more!

This story was very well written and edited, but for some reason I expected more, so the ending fell short for me.
I am not a fan of millionaire type stories so the extravagant dates had me shaking my head. These guys had no redeeming qualities and did nothing to deserve the wealth they had; besides being born into it.
The story was rather light on erotica but once it finally reached that point, the scenes were delicious. The author certainly knows how to write some sexy stuff!!

OHHH SHIT!
This was sooooooo good! Fred and Max are brother who play a game born out of boredom and played with big bank accounts. This summer they set their eyes on Dawn. She doesn't wanna play the game because she has been burned by a rich guy before yet she takes these two on and turns the tables BIG TIME!!!
