A Player for A Princess (Dirty Players) (Volume 2) Paperback – September 20, 2016

Tia Louise did again- she brings her characters to life. A Player for a Princess comes full circle with so many emotions in between. I laughed and cheered but the story is not all fun and games- the threats’ are real, leaving Zelda in a new world where her cons won’t work. When Zelda’s strength and determination are finally lost- the only thing keeping her alive is the bond and help from her new friends.Cal is the playboy prince – loyal, sexy and determined to get what he wants. Zelda is the spunky beauty con - artist who is on the run. She may love the prince who set her heart on fire- but keeping her sister safe is her only priority which leaves her scared and alone.I loved A Player for a Princess – with several heart stopping moments- Tia writing is beautiful – the friendships are special. Tia not only tells a story – she gives her characters depth and life. They become part of our family.The story revolves about the intensity of jealousy between characters while showing the kindness and selflessness of other characters- putting themselves in harm’s way to save another.Tia is a magical story teller- one of my go to authors.

Whoa! Was I pumped or what when I left off at The Prince and The Player! I had to jumped right in! I had no idea on what I was in store for! Tia is the expert on shocking the socks right off! This 2nd book in this series has even more action and sexiness then the first. I never knew what was going to happen. The suspense killed me, characters amazed me, leaving me glued to each and every page! You'll love the first book and this one even more.

"I made the deal that changed everything. I shook hands with the devil."Wow! Just wow!!This conclusion was everything I could hope for and more!!Zelda and Cal start right back where we left off with them. He is on his way to rescue her and bring her back to where she belongs...with him.The course of true love never did run smooth...."I see something I never thought in a million years would happen to me.""And what is that?""A really good man who loves me. Not a criminal or a low life."This book takes you on a whirlwind of a journey!!There's suspense and thrills, not to mention heat and a love that is stronger than either ever knew!The ins and outs of this book were fabulous! Tia Louise knows how to captivate an audience with her words. I never felt like anything was missing from the storyline.Everything just fell right into place.I'm sad that it's over, but I'm so pleased with how everything ended.Zelda, Cal, Ava, and Rowan have become a part of my heart throughout this series!"You get a player for a princess.""I'm the luckiest guy I know."

I don’t even know how to start this…maybe…HOLY CRAP IT’S SO GOOD! Or…I FREAKING LOVED IT! And maybe...READ IT NOW! I suppose that’s a good start.This book is the second in a duet and does require that you read the previous book first. Trust me, they are both supremely worth it. Tia Louise knows how to tell a story. I was completely immersed in the world she created and fascinated by the characters. From the first chapter of book 1, I was always anticipating what would happen next. But, in this book, I felt like she stepped it up even more. It has everything, action, mystery, some darkness, sweet romance, and HOT HOT lovin’. There are so many feels!Zelda is one kickass heroine. She is so strong that sometimes I wanted to pluck her right out of the book and give her a chance to rest and breathe before dumping her back into the story. She is so brave, smart, funny and quirky, sassy and independent, a combination that made me wish I could be her friend. But, she is also logical and classy, a perfect mixture for an heir presumptive like Cal.Cal is just so yummy. He marches to the beat of his own drum, towing the line between being a rebel and a responsible prince. His dirty mouth is sexy as hell and his strong alpha tendencies will melt your panties right off. But, it’s his sweet and funny side that had my heart turning to mush. In the beginning of this book, he is justifiably angry at Zelda’s betrayal, but despite that, he still wants to make it work. He has no qualms about admitting his love for her. He fights for her with everything inside him, refusing to give up when it seems hopeless that he can be her white knight.Ava and Rowan are a constant presence in this book as well, though none of it is told from their POV. I loved them both in the first book and it was great t be able to see some of their HEA.The book is fast paced and keeps you on the edge of your seat, wondering what will happen next. I couldn’t put it down and when the story ended, I wasn’t ready to let them go. I wanted more and I’m so excited that the author decided to continue on with this series. I eagerly await the next book! Fair warning, while the ending is super solid, it leaves an opening for more books from Cal and Zelda or Rowan and Ava. I wouldn’t call it a cliff hanger exactly, but she definitely leaves you wanting for more.This series is multiple five stars in my book and is firmly on the re-read over and over shelf!
