The Book Junkie Reads . . . Review of Game Maker (Game Series, #2) . . .
Falling and falling hard. Dani was the perfect sweet, geek, nerdy type sweetheart. I liked her immediately. She was everything that a young lady could be to make you want more. I had a lot of fun with her and the situation she found herself in with Zach.
Keeping things secret is never the course of action because what you want to hide always comes to the light of day. Dani and Zach made a blooming couple that just needed to be given a chance to have a real relationship out in the open. When their relationship was discovered it lead to so not so smart decisions and some doubts. Dani decision to keep things in the dark had made room for discomfort with Zach. There was unease with how things were progressing or not progressing for Zach. There was something pulling me further into the read and closer to Dani and Zach.
Harvey gives a read the will pull you into the beauty of their relationship. The story was well developed. The characters rich and real. I am looking forward for more. I loved getting to see some of the characters from a previous series from BJ Harvey.

BLURB
From the USA Today bestselling author of the
Bliss series comes a new spin off series featuring your favorite Bliss series
characters who are yet to meet their match. This time it is Zach and Danika's
turn.
I’m a gamer by nature and by profession. I’m
all about strategy, performance, and coming out on top.
Five months ago I threw caution to the wind,
and in the first miscalculated step of my twenty-one-year life, I made a move
on my brother’s best friend.
The first mistake we made was keeping our
relationship secret. The next was going off half-cocked when a train wreck of
epic proportions hit us.
Now our secret is secret no more. As I struggle
to deal with all of the swirling emotions, conflicted feelings, and the
multitude of burned bridges that I need to mend, the one person who can help me
through it all is the same man I need space from.
To fix it I’ll have to pull on my big-girl
panties, focus on what I truly want in life, and put everything I have into
winning the most important game I’ll ever play.
Life is a game, and it is what you make it.
Coming out unscathed is a whole other matter.

Danika
“Yes,” I moan, grinding
down against him.
“Fucking beautiful,” he
says gruffly against my skin, his lips brushing my neck. His breath comes hard
and fast in time with the upward thrusts of his cock, and I feel my orgasm
barreling toward me.
“Feels so good,” I pant.
His hand tightens around my back and his fingers zero in on my wonder button,
stroking with expert precision and making my pussy clench around him. My body
contorting as if it’s possessed.
“Jesus. Fuck,” Zach growls,
planting his feet on the bed and thrusting up one last time before following me
over the edge as he pours himself inside of me.
We collapse backwards, my
legs falling limp on the way down, and together we lie there, chests heaving,
bodies stuck together, struggling to catch our breaths.
“Every time is better than
the last,” he murmurs in my ear, sucking my earlobe into his mouth afterwards.
I whimper and my muscles spasm as aftershocks course through me. Shifting
sideways, I stay draped over him, my fingers drawing mindless circles in the
smattering of hair on his damp chest.
“What’s on the agenda
today?” he asks, his hand running through my hair, roots to ends.
“Team meeting at eleven,
lunchtime conference call with the west coast programmers at one, then I get to
go play.”
“Such a geek.” He chuckles.
I jerk my head up and I narrow my eyes at him. He just smirks, and my twitching
lips give away how uncommitted I am to the death stare aimed his way.
“Your geek.”
“You better fucking believe
it,” he replies with conviction, his arm hooked around my waist, giving a
meaningful squeeze.
“I know it, firebug.”
Now he out-and-out grins.
“Never going to live it down, am I?”
I push up with one hand on
the bed so that my head hovers over his, our lips just an inch apart. “Never,”
I whisper. “But that’s okay. I still love you.”
His entire body goes still
and my eyes go wide as realization hits me. Way to go, Dani. Freak him
out why don’t you.
My brain catches up with my
body and flight mode kicks in. I move quickly, rolling backwards and scrambling
off the bed. Making a smash-and-grab attempt, I scoop up my clothes scattered
over his bedroom floor, but the first step toward escape is hampered by an arm
wrapping around my waist.
I fall back and slam into
his naked chest, my entire body going still at the contact.
“Wait a minute, Dani. You
can’t say something like that then fly out of here like a bat out of hell.”
“Bats like hell. They live
there.”
“They live in caves. Stop
trying to change the subject.”
Deciding that redirecting
this inevitable conversation is the best plan of attack, I continue. “I really
have to go, Zach. I’ve still gotta go home, shower, get dressed, and then get
to work.”
“It’s only six, and you
just told me your first meeting isn’t till eleven.”
“I’ve got a lot of stuff to
do before then.”
“I’ll drive you home and to
the office if it means you’ll turn around. I wanna look in your eyes when I
tell you I love you back.”
For the second time in as
many minutes, my heart stutters to a halt. There’s no way in hell I’m in flight
mode now.
Seven years ago, I fell in
teenage girl love with Zach Cooper, my older brother’s roommate and best
friend.
Five months ago, I fell
into adult insta-lust with him the night I told him what I wanted. I’d be lying
if I said I hadn’t imagined what it would be like to hear him say those three little
words.
What I didn’t know was that
just a few days after one of the best moments in my life—one of those ones you
know you’ll remember forever—everything would be turned upside down.
And there wasn’t a damn
thing I could do about it.
