The Game #9

Senseless

Rate this book
The Game Series • Book 9 • Humor • BDSM • Novella told in Multiple POVs
Spend a day with your favorite Game Series characters as they prepare to get utterly senseless.

It’s been a long fall for the kinksters at Mclean House, but soon the house will finally be ready for action again. If anything, the fire only brought them closer as a community, and that’s how they’re mastering the rebuild—together.

They have one week to get the second floor finished for the upcoming event, Senseless, and there isn’t a minute to waste. But of course, hard work doesn’t mean there’s no time for the Sadists and the brats of Mclean to multitask and have a little fun too. Reese promises cuddles in the dark and possibly a ball gag, Kit is super-excited about a gift he’s won for Daddy Colt, Kingsley can’t help but picture a future with Tate in which they start a family, Noa has a bratty surprise, poor Greer is having his chest shaved for a frigid photo shoot—actually, so is Colt. Those about to watch are really looking forward to that.

I’m down to clown, as Corey would say!

-

This is a novella told in multiple POVs we’ve heard from in the previous Game Series books, and it’s recommended to have read Their Boy, Breathless, Doll Parts, Out of the Ashes, The Shepherd, and Adrift in the Embers before diving into Senseless.

The Game Series is a BDSM series where romance meets the reality of kink. Sometimes we fall for someone we don’t match with, sometimes vanilla business gets in the way of kinky pleasure, and sometimes we have to compromise and push ourselves to overcome trauma and insecurities. No matter what, one thing is certain. This is not a perfect world—and maybe that’s why the happily ever after feels so good.

About the author

Cara Dee

I'm often stoically silent or, if the topic interests me, a chronic rambler. In other words, I can discuss writing forever and ever. Fiction, in particular. The love story—while a huge draw and constantly present—is secondary for me, because there's so much more to writing romance fiction than just making two (or more) people fall in love and have hot sex. There's a world to build, characters to develop, interests to create, and a topic or two to research thoroughly. Every book is a challenge for me, an opportunity to learn something new, and a puzzle to piece together. I want my characters to come to life, and the only way I know to do that is to give them substance—passions, history, goals, quirks, and strong opinions—and to let them evolve. Additionally, I want my men and women to be relatable. That means allowing room for everyday problems and, for lack of a better word, flaws. My characters will never be perfect.

Wait…this was supposed to be about me, not my writing.

I'm a writey person who loves to write. Always wanderlusting, twitterpating, kinking, and geeking. There's time for hockey and cupcakes, too. But mostly, I just love to write.

En este libro lo que encontramos fue un grupo de historias cortas con la mayoria de los protagonistas de la serie, donde vemos como arreglan de nuevo la Casa McClean para los ultimos juegos y nos enteramos de los detalles del fuego y de la investigacion que siguio.
Tambien vemos un poco como ha sido su vida despues de que se han juntado como parejas, y un poco mas de escenas eroticas los personajes mas divertidos.
Pero tambien nos enteremos un poco mas del chisme de Franklin y su "sobrino" y de Macklin y su "ex-esposo".
En fin, es mas una historia corta que un libro, por lo que se siente como un epilogo extendido y el cierre de una etapa. Sin embargo, desde antes sabemos que faltan por lo menos un par de libros nuevos con nuevas parejas, incluyendo lo que va a pasar con Franklin y Jack, ademas de McClean y su ex.
Asi que seguiremos con la serie, esperando conocer un poco mas de los hombres de la Casa McClean.

I love these men

I love this found kinky family. I love revisiting them. I love that Cara is just going to keep writing and revisiting them over and over. This is probably one of my favorite series ever, even when many books just leave me wanting more. If I didn’t know she planned this series to be as big as it will be, the open-endedness of some of the books might frustrate me. But I don’t care. I love every installment.

Sadist, Daddy Doms, Masters, Owners and Littles all in one place. This book takes place after the fire. Good to see all the favorites back at House McLean, and seeing them all working together to overcome the fire to thrive and start the next chapter in their friendships and personal lives. The twins and owners and founders of the club and their "boy" Shay have an ever evolving dynamic that they constantly work on...Greer an all his men have brought their day-to-day life into rebuilding their community... Colt an Lucus have their hands full with Kit especially if he's hanging out with Noah... I love, love, love Noah! I can't really say I have a favorite. I love the dynamic that each character brings to the series in their own special way. I would have to call Senseless pure Hot Perfection...no pun intended. Well, maybe just a little one.

reread (3.75/5).

This does not require a full on review.

It was nice to see all the characters again — from different point of views no less.

The Game was lots of fun.

That’s about it. I liked it. Moving on.

This felt rather unnecessary to me, a fluffy bunch of filler, but I’m sure die-hard fans of the series will love it.

An interesting interlude with the doms and brats

3.5*

Fun and filthy individual episodes catching up with the groups of men who've previously appeared in The Game series.

Some hotter than others, some super sweet, it's definitely a filler in between the longer books but still worth the read.

Colt, Lucas and Kit are still among my favourites and I liked their chapter the best overall.

Short, cute, surprisingly tame, all-fluff-no-plot tidbits from the Mclean House/ House Mclean gang. Probably more DIY details than strictly necessary. Definitely not bad but also definitely not mandatory.

As the author put it, Senseless is the ninth book in The Game Series, and consider it a roll call, a tribute, a dedication to the previous books in the series.
Told in multiple POVs, two (Dom+sub) for every chapter that covers a day of the week in the final rush to renovate the second floor of Mclean House to host the first monthly Game after the fire, this novella was a nice way to catch up with the various characters/relationships.
I especially appreciated finding out how the Tenley twins handled and seeing how Kingsley and Tate took the next step into . I was also happy to get something in for the first time in the series.
Of course, given the kind of people in this series, this was also a chance to put the basis for new developments on the kinky front, why am I not surprised?

It was quite a read it being multiple perspectives of all the characters that we got introduced along the way but theres just one major thing that is missing.......THE PLOT,..,.,.,.,.,.WHERE IS IT???????? OR IS THIS JUST SLICE OF LIFE???? sex stuff, then more of that, then ughhhh maybe ye just that,. This was not as impatful as the other novels especially at the start of this series like book 2 and three so i think that this is just a filler book.

Yes, yes and more yes

This was this perfect little collection of vignettes set against a week of renovations at McLean House. We get to visit with so
many familiar faces and see the progress in the house. A few spicy moments also accompany our chapters.

I will always love Cara Dee books in The Game series. It’s a given. This was no exception. And Macklin? Ugh. I can’t wait to read his story! 4 very enthusiastic stars for me.

A small taste of kink

We get a check in of previous couples and how they are falling deeper into kink and love.

The reno on House McClean is going well and we got introduced to the Bratmobile. Fun times ahead.

We get teased who the next new couple will be and I’m happy we finally get their story!
AND the next installment will be Kit’s Christmas party. I can’t wait!

I liked it but it was a bit unnecessary. Yeah I miss some of the characters but then they should have a sequel or novella or something. This was just a small taste that didn't really satisfy anything.

Quelle jolie surprise que la sortie de Senseless. Il faut dire que quand il est question de retouver les personnages de Mclean House, je suis toujours partante ! Bon, c'est très court car cette novella ne fait qu'une centaine de pages et il n'y pas vraiment d'enjeux, mais cela nous offre de multiples points de vue, c'est fun et c'est hyper agréable de passer un peu de temps ses hommes auxquels je me suis vraiment attachée.

Ce tome nous permet de suivre les principaux couples /throuples et cie que nous avons découverts dans les précédents opus, chaque chapitre se focalisant sur l'un deux.
La toile de fond est posée, redonner à leur terrain de jeu préféré sa splendeur perdue, et j'ai adoré les suivre dans cette mission. Le bricolage ne sera évidemment pas leur seule activité, il faut bien se détendre aussi un peu 😛
Tour à tour, les héros nous réservent des scènes tendres, drôles, sexy ou plus intenses avec mes soumis, sales garnements et doms préférés ... Ma favorite ? Celle qui a inspiré cette magnifique couverture, une beauté et dans le livre c'est encore mieux... 😍
Les liens qui unissent tout ce petit monde sont ici bien mis en valeur, et on sent parfaitement la solidarité et l'amitié qui émanent de cette communauté.

Et que dire de l'épilogue !!! Il m'a juste mis la bave aux lèvres, on peut dire que Cara est une spécialiste du teasing... ahlala comme j'attends l'histoire dédiée à ce personnage que je trouve si intriguant, j'ai eu un vrai coup de coeur pour lui au fil de mon incursion dans la série. J'ai donc terriblement hâte de le retrouver dans Apex Predator mais ce sera seulement une mise en bouche avant l'explosion finale si j'ai bien cerné ce qui l'attend d'après ces "péripéties" !

Le top c'est que le tome 10, The secret plan, arrive très vite... un Noël caliente est en préparation. Yummy 🎅🏼

Loved it ❤️

Well damn, SENSELESS was absolutely delightful ❤️ I finished it in one go, and it was the perfect treat after a long work week.❤️
In this instalment Cara Dee gives us a sweet glimpse in the lives of all the couples, triads, and poly households introduced thus far. Honestly it was so sweet and amazing, I was swooning the whole time.❤️
I couldn't agree more with Lucas - in one of his mussings he thinks to himself, he should bring a camera all the time to capture all the sweet moments between Kit and Colt as the sight of them never fails to bring a smile to his face, and that is pretty much how I feel about this series ❤️

Some sweet Easter eggs and teasers for what is to come next in the series are perfectly placed and had me grinning so wide. I CAN'T FREAKING WAIT! ❤️

And oh my god? My two favourite daddies got yo be in a hot scene together 🤤 That was AMAZING!

Honourable mention to THE AIR I BREATHE, book 3.5 ❤️

Book 10 coming soon, I am so freaking excited ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you for this surprise release, I absolutely loved it❤️❤️❤️

This novella was another fun dip into the world of House Mclean. Taking place during a week leading up to Christmas, the members of this BDSM club are busy with repairs to the house following the fire that damaged part of the structure. Their goals is to get enough rooms ready to host another game - this one called Senseless. The book features almost all of the main characters of the previous books in the series and it is a good catch-up to what is currently going on in their lives. To fully enjoy the book, it is best to read the entire series in order.

A quick novella, giving us a peek into the crew getting the mansion back to rights after the fire. Each chapter brought us back into the lives of some of our favorite characters from previous books. I love me all the brats and daddy Doms so I was totally here for it.

The scene with Greer and Colt? The bratmobile? Noa falling asleep? So many great moments. But it just makes me that much more excited for the next book with Kit/Colt/Lucas. I am beyond excited to get more of one of my favorite triads.

Cara is introducing a lot of really incendiary dynamics to be explored here! But I gotta say that I missed reading the River/Shay/Reese trio and I might do a re-read of Breathless soon if my reading time permits it along with my other ARC obligations, which is unlikely T_T.

Anyways, seeing Cam and Lucian, it brought back how much I wished to see more of their relationship dynamics at the beginning, the same as Sloan and Corey's.

Can't wait for what the Brats are planning at the Christmas Dinner and Secret Santa gift exchange.

When Dee dove back into writing this series with a vengeance, she took the premise of one book = one month = one Game and completely upended it in the best way possible. We got brand new characters, all sorts of surprises, and an epic tragedy that crossed multiple books and storylines. Unfortunately, that meant the plan for the series’ titular event got put on hold, at least until Dee surprised us with a new release. This short book revisits familiar characters and dynamics from almost all of the previous books in the series and catches us up on the Game sidelined by the aforementioned tragedy.

Did I drop everything and read this book the moment I found out about it? Absolutely.

The very structure of this book was a clever premise, with each day of the week leading up to the Game in question and highlighting a particular set of characters. I had a blast revisiting some of my favorites, especially since Dee quietly answers some questions along the way. In terms of recovery, a lot of the action centers specifically around Mclean House. The mansion can practically be considered a character in the series itself, and the love the characters show for their home away from home (or, in some cases, their actual home) is sweet and heartwarming. But this is still the Game series, so sometimes it’s also incredibly sexy in all sorts of ways, even before the delayed Game gets into full swing.

Overall, this book gave me some excellent new perspectives on a few familiar characters. Tate has solidified his position with Reese as my ultimate favorites, but as usual, Dee seeds so many potential story nuggets that I know I’ll continue to fall in love with all of these characters over and over again.

Safe to say that I absolutely squeed with excitement at this surprise release from The Game series! With mini scenes from all the different characters we’ve seen so far this was packed with moments to treasure and a fantastic addition whilst we wait for the next one!

I need more!!! I absolutely loved this story and it made my heart happy to read about some of my favorite couples from this series.

River sighed. “I don’t know what I’d do without you two.” “You’re not gonna find out,” Reese replied firmly. “What Daddy said,” I added.

“You’re so beautiful, you know that?”
I just had to tell him. Tate glanced back at me, cheeks flushed with exertion. “Oh, stop it. No, don’t. Say more cute things.”

“You make my heart drum a little faster, sweetheart.”
He smiled widely and kissed my sternum. “So do you, Dominus.”


Each of these couples were my absolute favorites!
*Reese, River & Shay
*Lucas, Kit & Colt
*Kingsley & Tate
*Greer, Archie, Sloan & Corey
*Lucian, Cam, KC & Noa

I loved how we get to visit each of them and see where they are now (I'm so excited for Kingsley & Tate to start their family!!)

Also we finally get Macklin's POV!!! & the fact that he hooked up with DEAN?! OMG! Also did we as an audience hear about Macklin dating Lane? *EDIT: I seriously forgot that Lane is Corey's cousin* I didn't remember but I just sort of went with it, I need more of Macklin!

Now I'm ready to read The Secret Plan next!!

Wow! Just WOW! This book is a treat for fans. That is the best way I find to describe it. First of all, if you haven’t read the previous books in The Game Series don’t read this one first. You won’t understand anything, and you won’t enjoy it.
When we read a book and get to the Happily Ever After, we usually get that bittersweet feeling of wanting to know what happens with the characters later in their lives. How is their relationship once they settle? Have they changed now that they are together? Has their dynamic change? And this is what Cara gives us in this book.
The book has a main plot and it all revolves around it, however each chapter tells the story through the eyes of one of the couple, triads, poly families, etc., that we met and love from the other books. We get Lucas, Colt, and Kit from Their Boy; Reese, River, and Shay from Breathless; Noah, Cam, Lucian, and KC from Doll Parts; Kingsley and Tate from Out of The Ashes; Greer, Archie, Sloan, and Corey from The Shepherd and Adrift in the Embers. We get them all! She gives us an intimate look into their day-to-day life, their dynamic as a family, the way they relate to each other, and also how they relate to the whole Mclean House community.
Cara outdid herself with this book, all the kinks, all the characters, the game, the different POV, everything. This book is truly a gift from Cara to her loyal fans.
