Playing Games with My Billionaire

by Taylor Friste

My grumpy, spoiled and demanding new Lodge guest is steamin’ hot eye candy.

He wants what I can’t give. I won’t be bullied. But (apparently) I can be seduced.

This tall, dark, handsome dude comes to my small town hoping to reignite his creativity. Fine.

I’m here struggling to keep my late parents’ business alive.

And I explode when Trev plays games with my business as if he owns it.

Misunderstandings pile up and have us at each other’s throats.

Then we kiss just once and I shudder. Sleeping with guests is such a big no-no. But Trev and I do it anyway–often.

We’re finding out how much we have in common. We make each other laugh. Things are hot and heavy.

And wouldn’t you know it? Just when my past shows up and confuses Trev, his present shows up and pisses me off.

What we need is a future. Does his re-energized creativity include creating an us?

SWEET SWEET ROMANCE!!!🥰😍
Lindsey and Trev the lovely 👫 couple. From the start the story goes smoothly. The arrival of the grumpy man in the small town was a big incident in both Lindsey and Trev's life's.
AND AS THE BOOK'S NAME SUGGESTS, they both really played games😀
They had miss communication, they didn't talked for days but the feeling of love and the desire to be together, pulled them together. They had their insecurities, they both were unsure about their fellings which is acceptable. Indeed the grumpy man had many layers and when Lindsey pulled them off she discovers the real Trev.
There is specifically not a single thing to hate about this book. SO BUDDIES ITS A GO FOR IT BOOK😉

Tender romance in which everything must restart to move forward
Reset is somewhat the theme of Trev and Lindsey's story: he must find an idea for a game to develop, and she must find how to develop and save her hotel. The story is tender and hot, simple, with a few twists and it remains cute. The character of Trev did not convey empathy for me, perhaps through his choices which are sometimes surprising.

Lindsey is trying to figure a way to market her family's hotel, or she will lose it. Trevor checks in because he needs a getaway to help with his block. He develops games and he is currently having an issue creating a new product. Sparks fly between them when she checks him in but he goes right to work. Its not long before they start talking to each other and Trevor's creativity problems start going away. However, as they are growing closer outside influences are causing some problems for them. Will they give up on starting something together?

This is a great story that once I started it I couldn't put it down. This is a well written and very entertaining story. Its a book that any book lover would enjoy.

Trev needs a new idea to rejuvenate himself and his programming of video games. Lindsey needs a new idea for marketing and presenting her hotel or she is going to lose the property. They meet when Trev checks into the lodge and there seems to be a spark, but since his mind is on business, neither of them give it a second thought really. Eventually, the two of them are forced by circumstances to have a real, deep conversation and they see that they are more alike than different. They act on the attraction between them and Lindsey also helps Trev with a new game idea. Will the people and circumstances conspire against them having a happily ever after?

Trev and Lindsey... a sweet romance

It is a short and sweet story, and it truly does revolve around game design. Very cute as story concepts go. A single gal running a small inn, in a small town, meets a gaming-app designer from the big city, who is struggling to find his next game idea. Each assumes things about the other that just are not so. They inevitably discover the errors in those assumptions, and life gets a lot more interesting for the two of them.

At times, it's beautifully touching. A light read, for the most part.

Playing Games

Trevor has "creator's block" in creating another blockbuster video game like his last one. His best friend Eric, sends him to a small town rustic hotel with less distractions in the hopes to get the juices flowing for ideas. Lindsey, the owner gives him space but they both seem to enjoy each other's company. Throw in 2 ex's to stir up this budding romance between Trev & Lindsey and you have a good story to read. A HEA to 2 people who play games but not with their hearts.
