About the author
Nikki Rose
20 books138 followersFor as long as she can remember, Nikki Rose has enjoyed writing stories. For years, writing was just a hobby for this South Carolina native. It was a way to let out all the stories floating around in her head. After one of those stories took on a mind of its own, outgrowing even the parameters of a single book, Rose knew she had to pursue her dream.
Married to her high school sweetheart and best friend, Rose feels she is truly living out a romance story of her very own. As a stay at home mom of two, she is blessed with the time needed to work on her writing career full-time while her kids are at school or in the wee hours while normal people sleep. She considers herself a music-obsessed chocoholic and hopeless romantic who enjoys weaving romance stories with a healthy dose of mystery and suspense.

“Here’s the thing, I don’t know what to say. I’m speechless. I’m trying to recover myself because what did I read?! It’s just wow! This wasn’t my first book of Nikki so I had an idea of what to expected but I was so wrong. It’s just that Nikki has a thing with words that kept me on the edge with all my emotions. I pretty much wanted to yell of frustration at the beginning. I get why Hailey acted that way. She didn’t exactly get over it very well but deep down I clap her for yelling things out and how she acted. I mean why being blue when you can have fun jumping from man to man? Then I moved in between being frustrated, impressed, happy somehow and defintely in love.
Things sometimes don’t go as we plan considering, well I promised I would not give spoilers but let me tell you that Drew was a complicated man. I wanted to punch him at first, then yell to him for treating Hailey like that and then I must confess I wanted to kiss and hug him. He was so protective! The moment Hailey was back into his life… I love second chance romances!
Nikki gave us a mysterious and suspenseful page-turner story. Like i said i love second chance romances. If you haven’t read it I highly recommend it to you. A must read.”

Dangerous Games is killing it for me! Hello dark side! I truly whole heartily could not get away from this book. I loved anything and everything about Dangerous Games. Andrew and Hailey were a power force to be reckon with. It makes want to forget the past and just move forward with the now.
Dangerous Games is a wonderful escape! Nikki Rose throws a lot into the mix. You get the steamy and the angst. She will pull you into the unknown where it is dark and unclear. Then before you know what has happened, you are turned into another beautiful mess. THAT IS WHAT I NEEDED! Book friends, if you need to get away from what is happening today, you will be sucked into this book. I recommend this amazing story!

Absolutely Phenomenal book. I absolutely couldn't put it down and was on the edge of my seat reading it. I was absolutely blown away and had a book hangover. What happens when you jump to conclusions and spend the next 10 years still not dealing with it. Hailey has issues with commitment after getting her heart broken but now Andrew is back but will she let him have a chance to explain or will she end up in trouble or worse will Drew end up dead? This book had my heart pounding and ugly crying in other parks. Absolutely Fantastic book

Wow! What a rollercoaster of emotions, this is such a great story. Nikki Rose did an amazing job with this. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to laugh, cry or throw something. This will give you all the feels with a great solid story line.

♥️🌼🔥Dangerous Games♥️🌼🔥
So..Hailey Wood broke up with her high school boyfriend, Drew, because she thought she caught him cheating......and since she never confronted him, she has gone 5 years hurt and angry at him and closed off to her emotions...When Hailey finally sees Drew, again......she has to admit, at least to herself, she’s still in love with him...she just won’t forgive him....♥️🌼🔥
Andrew Caraway is a good guy.....He is deep undercover in a dangerous, mafia type organization......and he’s still in love with Hailey, so when she gets dragged into Drew’s mission, she has to work with Drew to keep them both alive....if Hailey can just let go of her anger...♥️🌼🔥
I think my only problem is with Hailey....It’s a personal problem, but it’s a problem I can’t look around....I just couldn’t connect with Hailey.....She is strong and independent, and she’s more like a dude than a chick, and that’s all good.....but her anger is a living, breathing entity.....It’s almost like another character...just always there.....and, for me, it was just there for too long.....One reason may be because I usually prefer at least a dual POV.....it’s just hard for me to connect with characters when I can’t “hear” what they’re thinking...Not being able to connect with Hailey made it almost impossible to see her connection with Drew...
I am a Nikki Rose fan, and DANGEROUS GAMES has a good story.... ♥️🌼🔥

One of my favorite types of books to read is a good second chance romance and Nikki Rose just absolutely slayed this one! I absolutely loved Dangerous Games. Andrew and Hailey were everything I never knew I needed.
After having experienced a broken heart, Hailey isn't a believer of love. Meaningless sex is her ammo and she isn't changing that for anyone! Andrew the man who broke her heart and changed her ways winds up coming back into her life and flips her world upside down.
These two will have you quickly turning the pages to find out what is going to happen next. They bring a lot of different emotions to the table and I absolutely loved watching their growth throughout the book. Even though I wasn't a fan of Andrew at first, I quickly found myself rooting for our alpha and willing Hailey to drop those walls she has built up. There was absolutely some fantastic world building in this one and Nikki played my emotions like a fiddle, we have suspense and twists to keep you guessing what will happen next. We had emotions from our characters that you felt right along with them, and most importantly in my opinion we had some steamy scenes!
This is an absolute 5 star must read book! Fantastic job!

I absolutely loved this book!!! It was explosive from the very beginning.
Hailey doesn’t believe in love. After having her heart ripped from her chest, she vowed meaningless sex was all she could do. But when Hailey is thrown into a dangerous game, she comes face to face with the one man who has the power to destroy her.
If you have read any of Nikki’s other books you will be happy with this one. With a mix of old and new characters this new story is sure to give you chills and thrills. Nikki Rose has this amazing way of mixing hot romance and danger that has her readers hooked from the very first pages.
Overall this book was an edge of your seat thriller. It touches on a subject very real in our world today. Deep, dark danger lurks around every corner. It has some disturbing situations that will make you cringe and pray for the hero. This book has some strong and serious characters. Hailey is definitely a strong character. She is smart as well sweet. Drew is sin on a stick. Yummy! With this roller coaster ride of danger you will feel all emotions. So get ready of a dangerous game....game of death.

I LOVE Dangerous Games! Nikki Rose did an absolutely incredible job with this book! Andrew and Hailey were everything I hoped they be and more! If you haven't read Nikki Rose this is the perfect introduction to what an amazing author she is. If you have read her before then you need this book!
Hailey doesn't believe in love anymore. She had her heart broken and now only wants meaningless sex with no chance of a broken heart. Andrew is the man that broke her heart and he's back. Second chance romances to me are always so much more emotional, there is all issues of the past still there on top of the present. These two had chemistry that jumped off the pages.
I loved this book. Rose had me on the edge of my seat needing to know what happened next. The twist and turns in this book I could not get enough of. I finished Dangerous Games in one sitting and I'm not sorry.
Nikki Rose deliveres a phenomenal second chance romance full of suspense, emotions, steam, and twists. She had me addicted from start to finish. Dangerous Games is a must read for everyone! I'm so afraid I will give something away if I continue. Just read it! you'll thank me later.

I love second chance romance!! Even with all the suspense, Dangerous Games gave me all the feels! Andrew and Hailey were seriously burning up the pages!! These two belong together, it sure took them long enough to figure it out.
I love that Andrew’s first instinct was protect Hailey, regardless of what happened in their past. Hailey isn’t the type of girl who needs saving, she is outspoken, strong and very fierce. Even when they were clashing, the sexual tension was off the charts hot!
I couldn’t put this book down for fear of what was going to happen next. The plot was fast paced and flowed smoothly. I can’t wait to see what Nikki Rose has in store for us next!
I voluntarily read an arc and this is my honest review

Nikki rose definitely has a hit on her hands. She knows how to rope you in and make you not be able to put down a book. Her words and storyline were spot on and oh so intense. This was a second chance romance at its best.
The past collides with the present in this book. Second chance romances really grip you because there is much history behind the characters. This one does not disappoint. The obstalces, the rollercoaster of emotions - it all adds up to an amazing read everyone needs!!
Hailey and Andrew have quite the past. Fate then interview and the past and future collide. It is one that have you begging for more and waiting on the edge of your seat for what is coming. A great read you will love!!

April 19, 2020I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Hailey and Drew were high school sweethearts. They were each other’s first loves. They were happy and each planning on a future together. Five years later we learn that this plan didn’t work out. Hailey is hell bent on never loving anyone ever again. She is constantly going from man to man. One night stands here and there to meet her needs. No long term relationships. Until one night out on the prowl puts her in danger and back in the path of Drew.
Drew is an undercover agent. He has basically been undercover in some capacity since he and Hailey broke up. He never thought that he would see her again. And now that he has, he will stop at nothing to make sure that she is safe.
I really enjoyed this book. I look forward to reading more from Nikki.

★ Suspenseful second-chance story ★
—>>> Five years is a long time, but now Hailey has her system down…spending meaningless nights with men because she will never put herself in the position of getting her heart broken again. Until she comes face to face with the very guy who was responsible for that, Drew, and finds herself caught in a very dangerous web of a game with danger and higher stakes than a broken heart. This was suspenseful second-chance story, happy for them that they were able to put their past behind them and get back on course.

Dangerous Games by Nikki Ross is a romantic suspense novel featuring Hailey, who was hurt by Drew and thereafter chose not to fall in love but to have casual sex. But fate places Drew and Hailey back together years later where she finds herself drawn into a dangerous game and she finally finds out the truth which is different from what she believed. I recommend this great read with misunderstands and the truth.

Holy what a read this was, it had everything i love in a book. Love, abit of heart break, steamy scenes and a whole mess of action, of what will happen next. Drew and Hailey are so perfect for eachother, except the history between them seems to be ruining their future. What a great read this was, once i started it was hard to put this down.

Explosive. This book is dangerously wicked and I just kept wanting more. This book is enthralling and will capture your heart from the first page. Awesome read and super steamy. The characters were clear and easy to visualize and this book was just a wickedly clever read. Loved it. Get your copy now.

Drew and Hailey had dated as young adults, but she caught him cheating, or did she. This set up Hailey’s behavior of one night stands only until they met again. This is an action packed mobster and human trafficking theme. Interesting and good story with well defined and engaging characters. Good read!

Hailey and Drew’s story are a well written flawless tale which is emotional, and with twists, suspense, and is a steamy 2nd chance romance story. I was hooked and intrigued throughout this addictive page turner which had me on tenterhooks. I highly recommend for all readers.

This is my third novel by this talented author, and this just proves to me that my TBR must grow!
This second chance romance had me turning page after page with multiple different emotions!
I read to escape, and that's exactly what I did. Immersed in the problems, worries, joys, heart ache, love of the characters, yes, I just love it! Don't get me wrong, there are times where you're saying to yourself, she just did what, omg, he did that... Yes, so invested in the characters!
This was so good!
Do you think the other books on my TBR would be mad if I bypass them with other Rose books? LOL

Devoured this book!
I gave this one five stars and I wish I could give it more! Dark and steamy, I loved their chemistry since the moment I met them. While it took me a while to warm up to her, I am glad that I gave this book a chance. Heed the warnings! Some of this book was hard to read but if it doesn't bother you and you stick with it, you are looking at a hell of a time!
