PLAY FAIR . . . OR PLAY TO WIN?
Falling in love with polar-opposite men was an intoxicating ride that nearly ended Sage Reese's life. Now it's time for Sage to decide: Parker, the clean-cut, filthy-rich business magnate . . . or Ryker, the tough-as-nails undercover detective. Her choice? Neither. Because she can't stand the thought of coming between two brothers-in-arms finally trying to repair their friendship.
Yet not everyone feels the same way, including a mysterious woman who's come to Ryker and Parker for help. Sage knows firsthand how hard it is for the two former Marines to resist a damsel in distress. But something just doesn't feel right.
Now there's a danger closing in that only Sage can see, and she intends to do everything she can to protect Parker and Ryker-even at the risk of losing them both . . .

You must read Power Play and Playing Dirty BEFORE you read Play to win!

So, this book picks up where Playing Dirty left off: Sage torn between Ryker and Parker. I have always been #TeamRyker but these books are all about the back and forth! I am NOT a fan of love triangles. Its probably my least favorite trope. But, I like Tiffany Snow so I thought I would give it a try. I really enjoyed book 1; Book 2 was okay for me. Playing to Win was meh. I’m glad its over, and I know who she ends up with; other than that, I did a LOT of skimming. I think this series could have been 2 books. There was too much back and forth and extra drama that just got tedious after awhile. Playing to Win introduced a new character who really forces Sage’s hand in terms of her ‘choice’. I’m not a fan of that either because I feel that having the choice made for Sage takes out the idea of who she really LOVED more. But, again, after I have invested in books 1 and 2, I wanted to know how it ended damn it!
