No doubt about it, this series is a total mindf*ck! It just keeps getting more screwed up with every installment. As Ella would say, she keeps falling farther down the rabbit hole.
This serial has Ella's mental state all over the place. Whatever the purpose for this twisted game, Tobias and Preston are certainly having fun toying with Ella. Like Ella, I don't know what to believe at this point.
Faced with the evidence of deception, Ella can't make sense of her new reality. She questions her sanity and what she thinks she knows. Even her will to live is questionable as she faces another one of the twisted tests.
The resounding message of this third serial is "nothing is as it seems". More than anything, I want to know what Tobias and Preston are up to and why Ella was chosen to play this disturbing game. It is increasingly clear that there is someone else pulling strings behind the scenes. But why? To what end?
I'm definitely pushing forward with this series. I'm completely consumed with this story. I just have to know what is going on. I can't wait to have all the secrets unveiled.
Luckily, this serial, and the subsequent serials, are offered through Kindle Unlimited. With seven serials in total, the cost could get a little excessive otherwise.

Day 3 out of 7
So Ella keeps going down the rabbit hole with the help of Tobias and Preston.
“Good morning, little lamb”
Eventually this is the morning in which she will snap and she will start running back towards her old miserable life.
Unfortunately, things are not quite as she remembered them three days ago (or was it 3 centuries ago?).
Who took away her old life and how come her two tormentors are supposed to be her saviors now?
Oh, well…at least she has had a few good orgasms.
“This is the best part of the game. Getting to play with us.”
Okay…that was hot…
But still:
“What is the point in all of this? What life do I really have left, one-million dollars or not?”
If all these have happened in day three, I really wonder what will happen in day four.

well, holy shit!
This was phenomenally steamy read, my fave combos on display: MFM, MMF
*bites her lips*
Well, Tobias and Preston push Ella's body to the painful limits of supressed pleasure peek! But they also fuck with her mind.
They push me to the point of near insanity. They leave me feeling manipulated and crazed, wanted and yet cast aside.
Yes, they are quite a pair, now driving her to the brick of sanity and almost pushing her to the edge...and the potential end.
But Ella surprises them by accepting the alternative-her total, complete, utmost submission to them both.
Permanently.
And then we come to know about the mysterious caller that turned out to be the third player we yet have to meet...
And now I'll rip my hairs out cause i have to wait for next week for part 4 to come out!!!
Fuck my life...lol
And I m a bit confused too...not really gaining the answers i wanted about Ella. Things stayed a bit blurred and again mysterious...
so fuuuuuuck!!!

4 "hot menage" stars!
March 24, 2017
Ella signed a contract with rich, powerful men to play a game. there are rules to these games and one of them is no asking questions. Can she survive them and their games?
Well these little novellas have turned into quite the gem, and by gem I mean "what???? wait, what happened? oh damn this is hot! OMG this is real hot!"
I don't want to give anything away, but this story has my mind spent and my body all kinds of hot! Just when I think I'm in the bliss of the after math (get it? like after sex? bliss...) Okay moving along, a confusing bombshell is dropped and that's when the wait, what? comes in.
Tobias and Preston are not only hot, but they are hot together *winks*
AHHHH I cant wait to see where the next book takes us.
I was provided an ARC for my honest review~Alison

Title: Three Players
Author: L.P. Lovell & Stevie J. Cole
Series: The Game #3
Genre: erotic suspense
Themes: contract
Heat: 3/5
Rating: 3/5
The suspense continues with instalment number three of Lovell & Cole's latest erotic suspense. And boy, does the intrigue just keep increasing.
This third one was a little shorter than the others, snappy and mirroring the shock and confusion of Ella. I have to say, I'm still really unsure of where this is going, and I'm struggling with the episodic format - I'd honestly rather either a few more full-lengths in a series, or one larger standalone. This just isn't doing it for me, and whenever I feel like I'm getting into it, I have another week or so to lose all the suspense and build-up.
Having said that, this is where we really start getting in to the nitty-gritty of the characters, particularly Tobias, which has previously been my main gripe - so that's absolutely a plus for me.
Bring on number four.

WTH JUST HAPPENED!
This story keeps getting crazier, and crazier with each passing installment. I swear, am not sure I can take the suspense! I am intrigued, somewhat confused, and a little light headed after reading Three Players! lol I have so many scenarios running through my head! I need some answers dammit! Ugh, Four Strikes can't come out fast enough!
If you love a good mind fuck, I highly suggest you pick up this series! It will have your head spinning for more in no time!

I have absolutely no idea what is going on. I’m getting more confused with every instalment.
March 24, 2017
I can't even explain how hot the filthy, naughty things these men come up with are. The dark twisted manipulation works on me just as well as on their little lamb.
There are just a few differences:
1. I vocalize my questions but still have only more questions.
2. I believe they could be angels or demons but I'm leaning towards fallen angels.
3. I definitely am not receiving the same gratification that sweet Ella is but the build up is incredible.
The tension, lust, and desire radiating off the pages make reading a lot harder. Squirming around while paging through on my kindle...
Absolutely proven to get your heart rate up and blood flowing.
But don't get too complacent, after all...it's just a game...isn't it?
I would beg the authors for my own set of Tobias and Preston but I'm not sure I could handle these two. Oh, but I would love to try. My bad boy radar has been off the charts since these two graced the screen of my kindle. I hope they never let me down. But then I'm not much of a rule follower...

Another day, another turn...
I love how twisted this series is.
In this third installment, I felt really bad for Ella. Her loneliness, her despair, twisted my stomach. As the game progresses, (is it really a game, by the way?) , I'm more lost than before, trying to understand Tobias and Preston's goal in all of this perversion and craziness. The darkness intensifies, the challenge become sicker and sicker, still Ella remains game in that situation which doesn't make sense to her.
I'm totally enthralled by this series! I'm lost, confused, horny, and I need my next "Game" fix ASAP!!!

Day three of the game and it's becoming very clear just how clueless Ella really is. Tobias and Preston are playing the ultimate mind game with her and nothing is what Ella thinks it is. With another massive twist coming on day three, Ella has a life changing decision to make.
This series has got me completely hooked. It's a crazy ride and I'm loving every second of it. Tobias and Preston...I've given up trying to figure them out. All I know is they're hot!!! They're assholes and they can play the game better than anyone else. I'm now counting down the days to find out just what is going to happen on day four.

Finally we are the conclusion where I was so anxious to know what was the end game after all.
Honestly, though I felt it all was a bit pointless just games that filthy rich people would play to pass their time when they are bored out of their mind.
That being said I definitely liked the twister at the end with the reveal that took me by surprise.
Also, this one.. Oh my... Once again Sizzling Hot and Filthy times loaded along with Tobias, Preston and Ella. So much of fire. 🌶️🌶️🔥🔥🔥..
I'd definitely recommend these series highly if you're in the mood for some sizzling Spicy 𝖲𝖤𝖷𝖸 times that'll definitely melt you.
Otherwise the twisted games are just that twisted and for some kinda sick pleasure. That ending though, I think that ending was perfectly suited for the depravity of Tobias and Ella and Preston.

Curiouser & Curiouser...
Hotter & Hotter...
OMFG... I needed about 6 more chapters, I devoured it way too quickly & the suspense is killing me.
Naturally - I loved every minute of it!
Game Three brings yet more twisty mind-fuckery into play & I'm feeling like what I thought I'd worked out in "One Contract" & "Two Guys" is maybe not the case at all.
Tobias & Preston continue to pull Ella's strings in this high-stakes game of erotic chicken... but you get glimpses here that suggest yet again, maybe all is not as it seems.
Now as for the sexy-fun-times... I think we all know what we've been waiting for... and... #OhHellsYessss!
As for the mysterious caller... I've got my suspicions about one thing here & I can't wait for Book Four to see if I'm right.

"They push me to the point of near insanity. They leave me feeling manipulated and crazed, wanted and yet cast aside."
So here we go again. Day three out of 7. Obviously this means that if you haven't read the first two installments in this series, then you need to do that first. Doing my best not to spoil anything, we are lead to believe that day three will be massive, indicating that most don't make it past that day. Needless to say, my thoughts were running wild.
Tobias and Preston have left Ella with her mind spiraling and her body begging. As this book picks up, she's forced to face both of those those. She's confused, conflicted and so totally sexually frustrated that she's about to explode. On top of that, her world is turned upside down even more. If that is possible. What she once thought she knew is now being questioned.
I have to be honest. At first I felt like day 3 was a bit of a let down only because of my expectations from the hype of day 2. Don't get me wrong, it was good. I had just built up in my head that it would be super suspenseful. However, at the very end, I'm given a bit of a teaser for more and I completely forgot about it and went back to my grabby hands mentality, not so patiently waiting for the next installment.
And let's not forget that I FINALLY got more of what I've been dying for. More of Preston and Tobias. The dynamic between these three is explosive and I can't wait to see where this all leads. I'm dying for my moral compass to be pushed even more so feel free to pack on the dark for the rest of they days, LP and Stevie!

WHAT? How is it even possible that it has only been three days...oh good Lord...this book is so dirty and twisted and I can't wait to see where this game is going. Nothing is what it seems in this book. Preston and Tobias are completely intoxicating and I can't get enough of them...I want to be Ella.
So, charge your batteries because each book just keeps getting hotter and hotter. I can't wait for the next book!

Day Three and things get more interesting for Ella and more importantly she underestimated the games she's entered with Tobias and Preston. She knew things wouldn't be easy, but never could she imagined this.
The more you read the more you are draw into the gauntlet of these games and are left feeling and hoping Ella can make it until day 7, I can't wait to see what the next days games that Tobias and Preston have in store for Ella, can she be broken?

This is the third book in the Game series by L.P. Lovell and Stevie J. Cole. This series is off to a great start although I wish I waited until all seven books were out before I started reading because I have absolutely no patience at all. I can't really say much about the book without giving the story away. Ella's life is falling apart one step at a time, first she loses her job, then her boyfriend breaks up with her, and the final straw is she's being evicted from her apartment. What would you do if suddenly everything you cherished was taken away ? What would you be willing to do for one million dollars ? Imagine just seven days and you could walk away with enough money to start your life over again anywhere you wanted. All of your problems would be solved but could you live with yourself knowing what you did to get that money ?
Are you ready to play the game ?

I want him to fuck me. I want to know what it feels like to be fucked and owned, utterly possessed by a man like him. In a sick way, I think I crave his brand of degradation. I like walking that fine line, never knowing whether he'll make me feel worthless or vitally important.
I spread my legs wider while Preston flicks and sucks and licks at my clit. While Tobias drives into me. I feel as though I'm on the brink of something that will utterly ruin me.

They could be beautiful demons or indeed angels. After all, don't they so often play the role of devil and angel, sitting on my shoulders, whispering in my ear.
Preston is like snuggling up to a panther and waiting for it to turn on you, because as beautiful and charming as Preston is, he's unpredictable.
Tobias, the devil, so resolute in his corruption and yet darkly captivating. He makes me want to dance the line of right and wrong, just to taste it, to feel the utter thrill of losing my morals.
I grab his dick and we move in rhythm with our hands and our tongues, our bodies winding around each other like coiling serpents. He groans into my mouth and I nip at his lip as each stroke, each touch grows desperate and wild, primitive as only two men can become. And here we lay, breathless and spent, our bodies twisted together in a sinful show of lust and greed, and Ella, sweet Ella lays tentatively watching.

Rating: ★★★★1/2 Stars (Rounded to 5* for Goodreads and Amazon)
Review
Favorite installment to date!
And it’s got absolutely nothing to do with the steam level rising to volcanic proportions, I swear.
Though I will admit that even though I had a feeling something of that nature might occur based on other previous dalliances with these three people in the other books, I still didn’t see coming to the degree at which it did. Holy moly. There aren’t enough fans in the world to cool down that scene.
What did make this book even better for me this time was the twists and turns. Ella’s movements at the beginning and what seems to be her mental breaking point and pretty much every single thing that happened after that. It raised so many questions in my head, ones I knew it wasn’t yet time to get the answers to but still couldn’t shut down wanting answers for anyway. The wondering just how deep and psychological all of this is going to get.
And also wondering…based on what both Tobias and Preston said…what is she keeping secret or lying about? Could all of this happening be inside of her head and nowhere near reality. Am I reading a story of a woman who has gone mad and made up this alternative life in her head?
See what I mean about questions? Pretty sure with this series, they’re gonna be the death of me. Well, if the flaming heat from some of these erotic scenes doesn’t get me first.
Fantastic installment to the series and I’m beyond eager to see where this goes next.

Ella Taylor has hit rock bottom. She is being evicted from her apartment, dumped by her boyfriend, Sawyer, and has just lost her job.
She receives a letter for a job interview with businessman Tobias Benton and she hopes her luck is about to change. Soon she finds herself signing a contract that will result in her receiving a million dollars is she can win the game. The problem is that the game isn't easy to win: one contract, two guys, three players, four strikes, five rules, six figures, seven days.
This was such an interesting book but definitely not for everyone. The book is definitely dark and it had Ella questioning her morals and trying to figure out what her role in the game was without questioning what she was doing and fully submitting before she lost the million dollars.
Each day Ella had a game and they all made her question how people got to where they and whether or not she was doing the right thing. The games definitely varied and I was shocked at the things that she had to do. I can say that I don't think there is any way that I would have been able to do what she did.
There were so many twists and turns and although the reveal wasn't too much a shock to me I was blown away by it still and I felt so bad for Ella. I was mad at the end with what happened with Preston and totally shocked at the epilogue as I can't believe that she could do that to someone.
The book looks at morals and society and what we will choose in certain instances. Does society rules overrule the need to survive? I could see the dilemmas that Ella was faced with and some she completely struggled with but parts seemed far fetched. It was definitely an intriguing read but not for everyone.- Rebecca

This book was just not it for me, it gave off self-published or wattpad feels which aren’t a bad thing but you notice a lot more errors. At times the writings drawn out or very short one second there talking and the next the having sex. There’s no build up or decrease it’s very jumbled and because irritating. All characters are very much morally wrong which I believe is the point but at no point did I ever wish for one of them to succeed. I didn’t feel connected to them because there was no real discovery of the characters. The sex scenes were good but not great the were very to the point and always only a few pages long. I think the overall premise of the book was a good idea what would you do for a million dollars. And you begin to ask yourself the same thing and ponder if you would do what Ella is doing. I didn’t enjoy the ending like at all it was an open ending so everyone can determine at will. But like is Ella the new Preston and dose that me this new guy is the new Ella. And where did Preston go they said a new game but like a game like this or something eles. The book was very short and the the main reason I kept up with it. Also I’m pretty sure Ella was technically raped she thought she was having sex with Tobias but it was really three and he was aware she thought he was someone eles so that might be triggering to someone.

WHAT???... WHAT???? *insert what the fudge face*
3 days... 3 days is all that's gone past and... WHAT?? This just had it's very own OMG moment. Tobias' first chapter and BOOM Mind effin blown!!! It appears three is the magic number!
We're back on torture road with Ella... That poor woman is wound so tight she may just snap! Who the hell could blame her. She doesn't know what's real what isn't what's right or wrong all she knows are the rules. She finds an odd sense of belonging when she's with Preston and Tobias but as soon as she's left to her own thoughts her mind goes haywire. I love how you feel all of her turmoil it's just effin amazin!!
If you're reading this review unless you've read the previous two you won't know what the hell i'm talking about. Those that have? Can you believe this shizz?!!! I can't believe so much can be squeezed into these novella's!! Dark, intense, erotic, suspenseful and as i said we're only on day 3. There's 4 more to go!!! what they hell is gonna happen?
The flames are starting to burn now with each scene being hotter than the next. Grrrr Tobias and Preston!! YUM but ooooh i'm kinda getting scared of them!! lol
Bring on Four Strikes!! I'm restless as hell waiting for the end of the week!!!

I have never anticipated a book more than this one.
This series is my drug of choice I am addicted and already need another hit!
I devoured this book within 40 mins, however don't judge the book buy its length.
3 Players was a complete head f**k. I can understand why women don't get past day 3!!!
Beginning~ Holy HOTNESS, damn I envy this woman. Finally getting a release and wow what a release that was. After being left alone all night with no way of taking maters into her own hands Ella finds herself begging for everything.
Middle ~ This is where things get a little messy. WTF is going on? Everything Ella though is blown out the water, Just what exactly is really going on? The mind is a powerful thing and at the moment I'm not sure if she is loosing hers or if Tobias and Preston are merely just fucking with it
End ~ Just when I thought this game couldn't get any hotter there is 1 scene that will have you week at the knees and fanning yourself.
But still so many questions, 1 of which is who the hell was on the phone?
Once again this writing duo have given us a book that we loose ourselves in. Their writing is nothing short of amazing and I cant wait for #4

One contract. Two guys. Three players. Four strikes. Five rules. Six figures. Seven days.
No safe words.
Are you game?
The rules are simple:
1) Never leave, 2) Never question, 3) Never speak of this, 4) Never develop feelings, 5) Always submit.
What could possibly go wrong??
This is book three, and we fall further down the rabbit hole. The game is taken to another level.
What I Loved About This Book
This series is amazing. I hate waiting for the next installment but it is so worth it once they come. These shorts are dark and twisted and just the kind of books I love and enjoy. Of course I love Tobias and Preston. I am always falling in love with book boyfriends I should not and this is no different. I feel for Ella throughout this book and truly feel like she is helpless and ho other option but to go along with what these men have planned.
What I Did Not Love About This Book
There was not anything I did not love, but I will caution people who do not like to read short novellas that make up a story. You may want to wait until they all come out.
I recommend this book and happily give it five stars!
