Fresh Fiction Review

PASSION FOR THE GAME
Sylvia Day

Reviewed by Tammie Ard
Posted May 16, 2007

Romance Erotica Sensual

Maria, Lady Winter, has but one goal -- to find and reclaim her sister. For years, she's been used and manipulated to see the dirty work of others accomplished in order to keep her sister safe. This latest task, to get incriminating evidence on Christopher St. John, should not be that difficult.

Christopher has recently been released from prison and in order to keep his freedom, he must send someone else in his place to hang. That person is to be Maria. But after meeting each other, both Maria and Christopher realize they've met their match. Too bad they both know they will never be able to have a future together.

PASSION FOR THE GAME absolutely crackles with sexual tension. This whirlwind romance delivers on all expectations of mystery, suspense and steamy passion. I loved all the characters and the roles they played. I highly recommend this book.
