Risky Games

I was plesantly surprised to find such a unique and entertaining writer on the same shelf as your typical cookie-cutter romances (you know, the ones with Fabio on the cover). I happened to pick up "Risky Games" the same week I picked up a Barbara Taylor Bradford novel and a Sidney Sheldon novel. I never finished those two because I couldn't put Risky Games down!Not only does Ms. Bicos capture your attention and interest from the first page, but she keeps it going, weaving more and more into her story, until she brings it to a satisfying close.I look forward to reading more of her books AND hearing her name mentioned more often in the media when it discusses great reads!

This is my second Olga Bicos book and I am busily combing used book stores for all her other books. I could not put this book down despite a test the next day. It is a sappy type of romance book that basically has a happy ending for every character. But isn't that why we read romances? What I like is the spirit and amusing comebacks the two main characters have.

This was my first book by this author. Now I'll read everything that has her name on it. Bicos is a superb and talented writer. Risky Games has it all--an original story, a suspenseful plot, witty dialogue, a smart & admirable heroine, and a strong yet sensitive hero. The chemistry between McCall and Jake is palpable. They get my vote for sexiest couple. I especially liked the fact that the characters were so well-crafted with flaws and all. This one is a definite keeper that I will enjoy reading over and over.

I recently met the author and I thought I would give her books a read; well, much to my surprise Risky Games had all of the things I like in a good mystery/suspense thriller and more (sex, love and romance, that is). The author weaves a good tale and includes some very interesting subplots (especially the one about Sierra the dog) <== Sorry, you have to read it to find out. ENJOY!!!!
