Mind Games
From Book 1: The love story I’m about to tell you is the purest and most beautiful thing I’ve ever done. But it all began in the darkest, ugliest way possible...
What are readers saying?
- "This series is one of the best this year. A first book in a trilogy just does NOT get any better than this! Holy moly! I literally could NOT put this one down. The way she can make you love and hate at the same time is just a talent a lot of authors don't have. Just get this book right now. Right this minute. Now. I swear, your mind will be blown. MIND. COMPLETELY. BLOWN!!!"
- "When you can read a book, twice, and still be thinking about it days later and planning to read it again, you know that this book is not only good - it's freaking awesome. I've never really read a book that had me totally captivated from this type of view. I'd read it again any time just to recapture the emotion and tension given by the characters found here."
NORA:
The love story I’m about to tell you is the
purest and most beautiful thing I’ve ever done.
But it all began in the darkest, ugliest way possible.
Forget what you know about power and domination.
Yes, this is a story of submission,
but real submission,
where the stakes are real and the cost is high.
This is a story like all other good stories.
It has good guys and bad guys, scary parts and naughty parts.
And it has me,
someone who thought they knew how the story would end,
just like you think you do right now.
I’ve done some kinky shit in my time, believe me,
but nothing could have prepared me for that last taboo,
that deepest humiliation,
the pleasure I had long forbidden myself
... love.
DEAN CANE:
It was revenge that led me to her at first, I’ll admit it.
I thought I had her pegged.
I thought I knew what I was getting into,
but I underestimated her.
I'm a powerful man. Getting others to bend to
my will is second nature to me.
But something about her made me want to tear away
at all that and see what was hiding underneath.
But she had no idea who I could be,
or how dark the truth really was...
Cutting myself off from the Cane empire?
Incurring the wrath of some of the most powerful men in the country?
I could abandon her;
let her take the fall and walk away from all of this.
Or I could run with her now and do my best to protect her...

***With this trilogy comes plenty of steam, money, danger, spies, corruption, subterfuge, and of course, a GUARANTEED HEA at the end!

BOOK 1 - 5 stars
I didn't know what to expect from this book but for sure nothing so complex. It took me about 3 hours of reading - I couldn't stop!
Nora is a young woman, that has a whole control over her own eyes! She's a Domme with strict rules to her clients. She establishes normal relation Domme-Sub with no sex. What will happen when one of her clients will try to break the rules and begins to threaten her - to make her submissive. And then he became like a psycho. After it, she meets his son. What will happen with this strange relationship? Will they manage to figure it out?
Dean knows about Nora's relationship with his father. He came to her to address his "kinky" thing. What does he want from Nora? Are his intentions true/clear?
This book is full of mysteries and steam scenes. And the twist was great. I WILL read book 2 for sure!
BOOK 2 - 5 stars
Book two of the trilogy - action goes rapidly in this book!
Nora and Dean are trying to deal with Jeff that wants to frame Nora for a murder of his wife. What will happen when Dean decides to start a little game with Nora - he would be in charge especially during one sex scene, it was rough during it, but he still cared for her - got alarmed by one of her moving. He was also sooo sweeet! I love him - tender and yet kinky with her.
What exactly happens between them? Wil they manage to take care of Jeff - Dean's father?
Exciting a really steamy second installment of the great trilogy - I LOVED it!
BOOK 3 - 5 stars
GREAT ending of the series, that gave me almost a few heart attacks.
Nora a former dominatrix has now everything, but I that what she wants in the end? She is a promise of never ending story and no place for boring moments. She changed, but she also stayed the same - check it out by reading exciting last part of Nra's and Dean's story!
Dean was more a background to Nora for me here. Still, he was also very complex.
GREAT ending f great trilogy!

This is a truly thrilling, dark and sexy read, the first in a trilogy. Nora seeks to take control of her life by controlling others. Dean is sexy hot, and he's also on a sexual journey to discover new boundaries. There are so many steamy, alluring twists to this story, and each page just drew me deeper into their world.
Mind Games is told from Dean's POV. Nora's life is a mess as she is being framed for the murder of Elizabeth, Jeff Cane's wife. Dean is torn between being under his father's thumb and his complicated feelings for Nora. Dean makes his choice, and now they're on the run. This book was intriguing and steamy, as Dean and Nora resume their roleplay as they run. Twisted and deep, yet thrilling and compelling.
I loved this trilogy, and it was amazing for Dean and Nora to finally get their HEA! This was a total roller coaster ride, and I loved their story, the twists and turns, and the long road to them finally being together. Awesome series! I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Dangerous Games
Nora💋💃 spent years thinking and acting like she was a Domme💃, a female Dom. Her degree in psychology helps her in her profession. She charges exorbitant fees💰 for dominating and humiliating rich business men. She lives a life of wealth💰 in a swanky neighborhood in LA.
One of the world's wealthiest men, Jerry,💰 is one of her "subs" . For three years she humiliates him, and canes him to welts and bleeding and he sees her every week. One day he starts acting like he's not a sub anymore. Was it all a ruse? Nora💋💃 is scared. She tells him she will never see him again. She suddenly realizes she has been in her home alone with a psychopath👹.
Then his son, Dean🐺, makes an appointment with Nora💃💋, and she sees through him pretty fast. He is up to something. All his adult life he's been in constant competition with his father, Jerry💰, and getting some kind of one -up- manship with Nora💃💋 is a way for him to get ahead. But after a few visits, she realizes he is not a sub, he's an Alpha🐺🍌🌋🔥, and she is very interested in him as a man, and his feelings toward her become amorous,💓 too.
Jerry's second wife comes to see Nora💋💃 to ask her to take him back as a sub. She is also 😨afraid of him. A few days later she is dead, and Nora💋💃 is wanted for questioning in her death. She knows Jerry💰 is trying to frame her, and he knows Dean🐺🍌🌋🔥✋ has been seeing her, too.
Suddenly, Nora💋💃 and Dean🐺🍌🌋✋🔥 are on the run and Jerry💰 has so much power in The entire state of CALIFORNIA, that he shuts down their bank accounts and cards and is tracking their phones.. They have to leave the state and go into hiding.
This is a very interesting book, especially book 1. It gets into what is BDSM and basically says it's all a bunch of hooey. Everyone has some kind of kink!
Dean🐺🍌🌋✋ is quite the tall, hard🍌, naaasssty🔥 lover boy. He wants it when and where he wants it! All the time and everywhere! Nora💋💃 gives as good as she gets!
Git yer spurs on, Nora!🏇🏇
YEHAW! Ride em Bareback🍌, Cowgirl! 🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎

A complete mind-bending tale laced with a little bit of this woven in with a whole lot of that-
Moore does it again -this time she takes us on a journey of suspense-intrigue - subterfuge- jealousy-revenge and a very twisted tale of love - One extremely sordid affair that will leave you just a touch mind f@cked
This set combines all three books in the Games series
First is from Nora's POV -Book two is Dean's POV -and Book Three alternates between the two
Nora - She controls her life, her world and everyone who enters it with a tight leash and an even tighter set of rules.
She is one of the elites in her world - one of the best at what she does- she is a Domme- and she has all the control (doesn't she ?)
Dean- He has a special kink, a secret kink. He only wants to please her, truly please her and that is what he does, it's all for her (isn't it?)
Mr. Cane - She is my Domme - I love her - but I want more and I know she needs more - I saw her switch, I know it is what she wants - but she shut me out, she says I broke the rules - But I am the client I make the rules (don't I?)
The box set is definitely the way to go Just One Click! I originally started with book one and I almost broke my Kindle - I didn't know it was a cliffhanger! What can I say - yes it is that good!
Some material suitable only for 18+
Good Luck and enjoy the ride
I originally received an ARC but I have to own this series so I bought it :)

Speaking directly to the audience in a book is generally not done. It's hard to pull off and keep the flow of the story, but Gabi Moore does it wonderfully in this trilogy. It felt like an intimate, one-on-one conversation with the character telling you their most private thoughts and secrets. While you may not agree with their actions, you can't stop "listening" to their story.
The trilogy is the continuing story of Nora and Dean - their romance, their inner darkness, their kinks, and the lengths they'll go for each other. Each book adds a new twist and just when you think you know where the story is headed, guess again.
Gabi Moore shows just how good she is in this trilogy and if I weren't already a fan, this one would convince me. It's deliciously dark, twisted, romantic, suspenseful, steamy, and captivating, all rolled into a mind-blowing tale that I couldn't put down.
If you enjoy dark romantic suspense, I highly recommend this one.

Review Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars.
Highly recommend this series!
I received Advance Reader Copies for the 3 stories in this Mind Games series and voluntarily reviewed this set. What an engaging series! It was twisty, dark, and gritty at times. It dealt with what really makes some people tick, and what makes their brains bloom in brightness or fester in darkness. There is a little bit of everything, but lightness and sexiness that balances all the darkness and hidden agendas.
Especially delighted in reading of some of their sexual scenarios, the games Dean and Nora played, which were highly creative, very elaborate, and indulgent. In the end, though, these served to strengthen their relationship by setting them free.

Faux Domme NOT Pro Domme
I think this author decided she wanted to write a trilogy but didn’t have enough storylines for a trilogy. The pace of these books is painfully slow. A great Beta male hero and a seriously messed up heroine who by the end of all three books I still didn’t like. Add egregious grammar and misuse of words just a hot mess.

First time I've written anything by this author. Nora and Dean. What can I say. I'm not sure if I can really get into her style. It was interesting and intriguing. I was let down how John Cane died, anticlimactic. For me personally.

This is a must read series!! It will keep you guessing with lots of twists. Each book has its own creative plot with great side characters. Very well written and super sexy.

Page turner!
Very interesting series, just didn't like how the last book ended. I didn't care for the fantasy trip excerpts. Otherwise, good read.

Sinfully sensual
It's sinful, seductively sensual and is erotically decadent as your lusciously smooth and bittersweet favourite dark chocolate. To share is absolutely sublime.
