Wicked Little Games Duet #1
Wicked Little Games
“Sometimes if you wait too long, it’s too late.” Sarah Strohmeyer
Tia was five years old when she fell in love Atticus Kraus. She didn’t care about the castle he lived in, that he was the heir to a vast empire, or that she was the daughter of his housekeeper. She cared about the boy who made her smile, the boy who defied his mother to make her his friend, and the boy who made her feel less alone.
She knew her place in his world, yet she never felt the distance of an outdated society, because from day one, Atticus made it crystal clear her place was right beside him—in play, in life, and in love. He promised her forever, and she promised to wait…
Can Wicked Little Games wield enough power to change forever, break hearts, and so drastically change the course of a young girl’s life?
Dee Palmer lives just outside of London with her husband and (slightly embarrassed) children. Her passion is writing contemporary romance/romantic suspense novels and romantic erotica. These feature steamy sexy scenes, BDSM and Dominant and submissive role-play that will scorch the pages right off your kindle and are guaranteed to make your heart pound. Sassy female leads and heart stopping dark and dominant alpha males are her favourite literotica and whilst she always pictures an HEA, she isn't afraid to put her readers through the ringer before she delivers.
When not at her desk she can be found either fannying around on Facebook or with her nose stuck in her Kindle. Once in a while when the lights are down she might be spotted about town searching for the best French martinis and throwing some dubious shapes on the dance floor. Yes she dances like no one is watching - it is a mystery how no one gets hurt!

Wicked Little Games is my first book by Dee Palmer, so I didn't have much in the way of expectations. I was just hoping to enjoy it, and enjoy it I did! The story kept me intrigued the whole way through, and I was invested in the characters right away.
There is a love triangle, and at this point, I'm not sure who is going to get the girl. Tia loves them both, and I can see why. I kind of don't want to get to the end of book 2, because I'm not ready to let either go yet.
On the one hand, I want her to be with Logan, her sexy, agoraphobic housemate. He adores Tia and would do absolutely anything for her. I love his playfulness, their friendship and banter, and the way he tries to take care of her. He took her in when she had nowhere else to go even after what she did, and that says a lot about the kind of man he is.
On the other hand, Atticus and Tia have history, and they have loved each other for most of their lives. Their love was beautiful yet heartbreaking at times. I could feel their connection easily.
Logan doesn't really have many strikes against him in my book, but the same can't be said for Cass. At this point, I don't know if I can forgive him for what he did to Tia . We still don't have the whole reason, but I don't know if any reason would satisfy me especially after what happened to her in jail. I also don't like the way he tried to hide things from her no matter his reasons and how he seemed to always keep her waiting around for him.
I know it seems that the odds are tipped in Logan's favor here, but honestly, Tia seems to love them both deeply. Her feelings for Atticus are so strong that I think they may be able to overcome anything. The passion and intensity between them is evident. Not having a clue who will come out on top is driving me crazy! Lol The ending is somewhat surprising, and I'm incredibly curious to find out the reason behind it in the next installment.
Wicked Little Games by Dee Palmer is mysterious, well-written, steamy, and suspenseful. The characters are imperfect, the story is entertaining, and the romance is hot and complicated! If you are a fan of alpha males, love triangles, or like a little mystery in your romance, this one's for you!

I promised myself that for the year 2018, I would try something different, at least when it came to my reading list. In keeping with that promise, I chose to read a book by Dee Palmer. Not only have I never read a book from her before, but I had heard nothing but great things about her writing and figured that taking a chance on her wouldn’t be a huge risk. I’ve gotta start small ;) Mrs. Palmer
did not
disappoint!! I was immediately caught up in the plot, the intricacies of this story’s characters, and the dynamics created between them. This author gave me a story to sink my teeth into. Something that didn’t follow a traditional formula and although I was left with a huge cliffhanger ending, it has only left me more eager to get my hands on part two!
Tia was five years old when she fell in love with Atticus
After being accused and sentenced for a crime she didn’t commit, Tia is hellbent on vengeance. What exactly her revenge plot consisted of, I still don’t know. I haven’t a clue what she was looking for or what would satisfy her lust for revenge, I just knew that I understood her reasons why. How exactly Logan fit into her plans, this gorgeous agoraphobic man who seemed to worship the ground she walked on, I haven’t the foggiest, but I knew he played a pivotal role. One he seemed to have no knowledge of. What was crystal clear to me was that all roads led to Atticus. And that despite the years, tears, utter anguish, devastating loss, hatred and disgust, the love Tia and Atticus shared couldn’t be extinguished. No matter how hard she tried. And when he finally has her back, different but the same, what he intends to do with her is anyone’s guess.
"You promised me forever. You lied."
While the ‘bad guy’ isn’t easily identifiable (other than Atticus’s mom - that woman can suck it), from what I can piece together, everyone needs to sit down and have an adult conversation. Lay their cards on the table and let things fall as they may. I’m hoping something like this happens in the next part. My heart broke for all major characters involved and I would love to see how each of them survives and thrives in the end. If they will at all. To say I can’t wait for the next book, Twisted Little Games, would be an understatement. If you like your romance with bits of drama, mystery and suspense, start this amazing duet today!!

Ooh! I was thrilled to hear of a new series from the fabulous Dee Palmer. I’ve read all of her previous books and thoroughly enjoyed them.
As is to be expected in the first book of a new series, there are lots of questions left unanswered. However, the characters effortlessly snag you by the hand and lead you deeper into this story of betrayal, revenge, demons, redemption and possibly a second chance.
My review contains little to no information about the story or characters because, quite honestly, you simply need to discover it for yourself. I have to be honest and say that it took me a couple of chapters to get into the flow but don’t be dissuaded - keep reading - it all comes together in the most incredibly heart-stopping tale.
Of course, we’re cruelly left on a precipice. Each reader will no doubt have their own opinions and feelings on the journey we've been taken on. Personally, I’m left devastated and clinging the the sliver of hope that things may turn out the way I desperately want them to. Maybe, just maybe...demons can be conquered?
In the meantime, I’m left waiting but it was worth it.
A gripping new series to sink your teeth into! Highly recommended.

Firstly I must say thank you to the author for a great start to my reading this year.
My heart went out to Tia. Although she didn’t have it easy she’s a strong character and so likeable.
As the story enfolds I couldn’t put my kindle down. I just needed to keep reading and see what was gonna happen next.
This is a really well written story that captivated me from start to finish. The twists and turns had my heart thumping faster. Ending on a cliff hanger I can not wait to read more of this story.

3,7. O livro é dividido em 3 partes. Achei desnecessária a atençao dada a segunda parte que fica no passado ( podia ter resumido). Mas a ultima foi decisiva no entendimento de tudo. Comecei a entender os personagens.
Amei Logan!!!! Misterioso, sexy e inteligente ao extremo.
Agora Tia, o que você fez? Sem comentários!!! Afff
Como sempre. Esperar pela continuação.

I so enjoy a good romantic suspense novel and Wicked Little Games by Dee Palmer is that and so much more! Dee always delivers with a vulnerable yet strong willed heroine. Tia is no exception. I love her and her true love Atticus (Cass). Their relationship is complicated, as expected, and things happen that are beyond their control. Now they are going to have to fight for their love and learn things along the way that will test their love even more. Add Wicked Little Games, book 1 to the top of your TBR list. I'm eagerly awaiting for book 2.

This is a fabulous new series by Dee Palmer that is a good blend of romance suspense, romantic mystery and erotic romance. The characters that are in this story start out one way and become oh so much more complex and full of feels ,of emotions. I found myself empathizing with the heroine Tia- of all she lost and how she suffers from nightmares yet she lives each and every day as a strong survivor. This is Tia’s journey yet its so much more and WOW I was drawn into the world thru the people she meets and knows. I am going to say this is heavily angst ridden so be prepared. This is the story of Tia, of the betrayal she suffered by her 1st love Atticus and how she is out for revenge now against him. Into that comes her mysterious housemate Logan and her feelings for him….but what is his link to Tia? What secrets is he hiding from her? Oh this story was good , brilliantly good. There was several twists and turns and ends on one epic cliffhanger. I can't wait for book 2 to see if my suspicions play out about some certain characters are true and end up correct. I am dying to know what happens between Tia, Cass and Logan. This was a fabulous new series by Ms. Palmer and she wrote this with such angst and pain, heartbreak and despair that it comes across. There is also passion and intrigue, mystery and suspense. The heat in this story between Tia and Logan who will surprise as a dominant alpha and then the chemistry between Tia and Cass is so hot . Cass definitely also has that dominant alpha male persona down too..All I knew is I was on the edge as the story progressed and as the twists were unleashed, I was hooked from the beginning and hated to stop at the very last page. I cannot wait for book 2 to pick back up and am dying for more in this series and for the answers to come forth and to find out how Tia figures into everything regarding Logan and will there be an HEA between Cass and Tia. This is a fantastic new series and the writing was awesome and the characters engaging.
My Rating: 4.8 stars *****
“I received an advanced copy of this book from the author at no cost to me."

This book was intense. I felt very sorry for Tia. She craved love and acceptance which truly seemed impossible. She was let down by so many, most especially the ones who should have been there for her. It was no wonder she had conflicting emotions about who she should believe. There are alot of secrets by everyone involved in her life. Two men declare their love but who should she trust, Cass or Logan? There were so many twists Tia didn't see till it was too late. My heart went out to her. Despite the many disappointments and loss of true love, she found something wonderful that forever changes her life. This book gave me a hangover. I was emotionally wrecked from this book! I loved it!

OMG! I NEED MORE!! PLEASE!!
These characters!! They started out to be so simple and yet were so complex and full of emotions. It was a world of first loves and playful kids that morphed into hardened hearts full of pain, deep regrets and hatred.
The story was a slow process – foremost the chapters in the beginning - and information was seeded sparsely but after I got to know the characters better, I was smitten and greedy to learn more about them.
The ending was not something I'd have seen coming and really took me by surprise. It was a huge cliffhanger and I can't wait to read more!!
This book was told from multiple POVs and started in the present but went back in time to when Tia and Atticus were kids. The past chapters were chosen perfectly because they always had enough information to understand what happened and to get a better feeling of the characters growing connection, but it was never too long to lose my interest and moved ahead on a great pace.
Tia and Atticus lived in two very different worlds and it was just a matter of time that their ways would take different directions and lead them apart, even though they never thought that it would come to this, it eventually happened. He went to a school far away and growing up paired with long distance friendship could only bring trouble and change a person.
This book is hard to describe because the blurb says a lot already but it's the details that matter and how the book is written which made it so amazing.
These characters couldn't be any more different from each other but still had a lot in common. Tia's life had never been easy what with her mother worshipping the ground Mrs. Kruse walked on despite the way this woman treated Tia and how she looked down on people like Tia and her mother. Atticus didn't care that his mother didn't like him playing with Tia because he liked her and although his family was rich and he could have anything he wanted, friends were a rarity for him too.
When Tia was accused and put in jail for theft, Atticus hands were tied for a different reason.
After her time spent in jail, Tia couldn't afford to do anything that put her on the police radar because she wouldn't survive prison another time. Once in a lifetime was enough and even that was too many especially since she was innocent in the first place and still had to live in hell for years because of the Kruse family. It's time for revenge.
Atticus was a lively and smart young boy full of temper. He was very clever for his age and he knew how he got his way. This didn't much change when he grew older, but he became tougher, hardened from life and deep regret held him back from happiness. I was torn about his character because although I couldn't resist his charm as a young boy and understood his reasons for most of his actions, he was arrogant and cocky, and I didn't know everything that happened yet so my opinion of him is not made up yet. The same applies to another character. =P
There were lots of secrets in this book and not many were revealed yet. I can't wait to discover them in the next book!
Oh! I almost forgot to mention the very hot scenes in this book! Lots of sexual tension and frustration led to some very intense scenes. And all the while I had to think of the characters secrets and if what they said and did was honest or just a game.
The title of this book was spot on and so true with the story because this definitely were some wicked little games!

I was so close to jumping ship on this book,the first 20% had me rolling my eyes and feeling nothing for the characters, but I'm so glad I persevered. Secrets and lies surrounding the main characters with a cliffy ending that's got me waiting eagerly for part 2.
February 8, 2018
I really struggled with rating this book.
It’s not quite a 4 Stars but nowhere’s near a 3 Stars rating either.
The book finished at 75% on my kindle app so while I thought there was more to the story, it abruptly ends.
The first 10% of the story was confusing. And if it wasn’t for the ratings and reviews on Goodreads I probably would have abandoned this book.
The next 20% left me thinking ok, is this gonna be a love triangle? If so, then I’m not sure if I’m diggin this. I mean if both male leads are Alphas and only one gets the girl, well it stands to reason there can be only one Alpha. But, that’s MO and it made me reluctant to continue the story.
The following 30% quickly swayed my vote to ”keep on reading! This is now getting interesting!
40% into the book I was screaming OL WTF!
50% ... A Tracking What Now...?
60% OMG! Sh*t’s going down!
70% ... and now I’m sobbing...
”This won’t change a thing, Cass, and I hate that we lost our moment. It fucking hurts.” I suck back the rising sob, because I know if I let it out, it will consume us both.
The book ends abruptly on a cliffy-of-a-hanger at 74% and I’m thinking ...
WHEN IS BOOK 2 COMING OUT?!
So, it’s easy to deduce that I found this book entertaining enough to finish it off and actually look forward to the next book in the series that comes out in March.
Dee Palmer is a new author for me so I’m not familiar with how her writing style drives the plot forward. There were elements to her writing that I am not entirely fond of.
For instance, before we get to know anything about the characters we are thrown into a weird dream sequence that leaves me uncertain of the type of genre I’m reading. For a moment I thought it was supernatural.
Then... there is the awkward and confusing dialogue between Tia and Logan at the start of the book. Everything about this first intro, into what I am assuming is our second lead Alpha male, felt unfamiliar and ingenuine.
And finally... there was the long written setting descriptions that, to me, didn’t seem to drive the plot forward.
Yet... I was hooked. This story was actually very interesting and Dee Palmer is a pretty good writer. It just seemed that certain parts of the book were written by someone else. Or maybe it was a technique she was using to make the story more suspenseful? Who knows. When it was good I devoured, when it was confusing, I put it down or skimmed through.
So, because this ends on a cliffy there are a lot of questions that need to be answered and inquiring minds want to know!
Personally, I think that Tia is being exploited by everyone!
I’m making a few more points below but it will start going into what can be considered spoiler territory so WARNING...
DON’T
READ
ANY
FURTHER!
Questions left unanswered:
Who is Tia’s biological father?
Is Ghost connected to Logan? Missing Sister maybe?
Why does Logan go hot and cold with Tia? And really? Don’t give me some lame excuse of betrayal. He knew how she got there, she wasn’t innocent from the get go.
She was planted there by Ghost.
How does Tia’s mom die?
Where is OSKAR? One moment he’s telling Tia Atticus’ secret and the next moment she’s waiting for Atticus to come home but instead gets arrested? Oskar certainly could have absolved her of the accused transgressions.
Well, I guess that’s enough for now! Let me know if anyone had the same questions and concerns!
It’s not quite a 4 Stars but nowhere’s near a 3 Stars rating either.
The book finished at 75% on my kindle app so while I thought there was more to the story, it abruptly ends.
The first 10% of the story was confusing. And if it wasn’t for the ratings and reviews on Goodreads I probably would have abandoned this book.
The next 20% left me thinking ok, is this gonna be a love triangle? If so, then I’m not sure if I’m diggin this. I mean if both male leads are Alphas and only one gets the girl, well it stands to reason there can be only one Alpha. But, that’s MO and it made me reluctant to continue the story.
The following 30% quickly swayed my vote to ”keep on reading! This is now getting interesting!
40% into the book I was screaming OL WTF!
50% ... A Tracking What Now...?
60% OMG! Sh*t’s going down!
70% ... and now I’m sobbing...
”This won’t change a thing, Cass, and I hate that we lost our moment. It fucking hurts.” I suck back the rising sob, because I know if I let it out, it will consume us both.
The book ends abruptly on a cliffy-of-a-hanger at 74% and I’m thinking ...
WHEN IS BOOK 2 COMING OUT?!

Ooh! I was thrilled to hear of a new series from the fabulous Dee Palmer. I’ve read all of her previous books and thoroughly enjoyed them.
As is to be expected in the first book of a new series, there are lots of questions left unanswered. However, the characters effortlessly snag you by the hand and lead you deeper into this story of betrayal, revenge, demons, redemption and possibly a second chance.
My review contains little to no information about the story or characters because, quite honestly, you simply need to discover it for yourself. I have to be honest and say that it took me a couple of chapters to get into the flow but don’t be dissuaded - keep reading - it all comes together in the most incredibly heart-stopping tale.
Of course, we’re cruelly left on a precipice. Each reader will no doubt have their own opinions and feelings on the journey we've been taken on. Personally, I’m left devastated and clinging the the sliver of hope that things may turn out the way I desperately want them to. Maybe, just maybe...demons can be conquered?
In the meantime, I’m left waiting but it was worth it.
A gripping new series to sink your teeth into! Highly recommended.

Wicked Little Games by Dee Palmer is the first book in a new series.
“You promised me forever: You lied.”
Tia is the daughter of a housekeeper at Atticus Kruse´s mansion. At the age of 5 years she´s in love with Atticus. They grow up together. He attends a top college - and Tia was found guilty of stealing a Kruse heirloom. She was sentenced to years in prison - and there she learned not only new skills, she also plans her revenge.
Wicked Little Games is a book that you can´t put in a box. It´s part romance, part thriller and part dark read. I liked the characters and the story. The book ends in a cliffie. I give 4,5 stars.

This story is full of suspense, and intrigue. Tia is out for revenge she doesn't know who she can really trust, and she loves 2 men Atticus her first love or Logan her housemate. Everyone has secrets and I loved it. This Authors storytelling just gets better and better with each book, this one draws you in from the start. It does have a cliffhanger ending (and what an ending!). I can't wait for book 2 to see if my suspicions about some of the characters are true!!

I gave this book 4.5 stars!!!
When I heard Dee had a new series coming out, I knew I had to get my little paws onto it!!!! I'm so glad I did!!!! From the beginning, you have to read a few chapters to get into and figure out who is who but then the story really takes off and yes it will leave you with a lot of unanswered questions but so worth the read. You will be craving and needing more by the end that you will be asking just like me for Dee to send it to us like yesterday instead of March!!!! This book has it all from the twist, turns, betrayal, revenge, demons, redemption, so if that is your cup of tea then you NEED TO READ THIS BOOK!!!!
"You promised me forever: You lied.”
Tia was five years old when she fell in love with Atticus Kraus. She didn’t care about the castle he lived in, that he was the heir to a vast empire, or that she was the daughter of his housekeeper. She cared about the boy who made her smile, the boy who defied his mother to make her his friend, and the boy who made her feel less alone.
Atticus made it crystal clear her place was right beside him—in play, in life, and in love. He promised her forever, and she promised to wait…
As she turns eighteen Tia is excited with the plans she’s made with her first love and soul mate. Her studies at a top college will ensure she finally moves away from Atticus’s judgemental family and her own toxic mother. With Atticus at her side, she feels the first sense of true happiness.
When suddenly accused and found guilty of stealing a Kraus family heirloom, Tia is sentenced to six years in prison, and her world falls apart. Abandoned and betrayed, this is just the beginning of her nightmare, as once again she finds herself very much alone. How could this happen?
Prison changes her, but it also gives her time: time to forge new friendships, time to learn new skills, and time to plan her revenge. Her life was destroyed by Wicked Little Games, and she knows exactly who’s going to pay…
Cant wait to get my hands on the next book....we need it today DEE!!!!

Yet another fabulous story from the desk of Dee Palmer.
I found myself empathizing with the main female character, Tia, and once I got into her story, I couldn't put it down (five hours later...) I found myself cheering her on, lamenting some decisions where I'd have done something drastically different, and hating one of the other main characters with a fierce and undiluted passion - something I haven't been given an opportunity to do in some time.
The story breaks down Tia's past into chapters, along with her relationship with Atticus, and in chapter fifteen particularly, I became incredibly invested in their relationship (no spoilers!)
This story will spark your imagination, twist your feelings into knots, and if you're anything like me, have the shovel and lime ready to bury a certain someone...
Not to mention the twists and turns the plot line takes, culminating in a rather interesting cliffhanger.

This book blew me away! Every single time I thought I knew what was going to happen, Dee Palmer threw another twist in that I didn’t see coming.
I don’t want to go into detail because this is one of those books that you should go into knowing nothing. The characters are very easy to like, although there was one that I was determined to hate but my feelings for them swung back and forth several times.
Full of secrets, lies, betrayal, first loves, revenge and sexual sparks flying all over the place, this book had me hooked and left me desperately needing more. This is without a doubt my favourite book by Dee Palmer. She kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish.

Wow! This book is A-fucking-mazing!! It is a complete different direction for Dee Palmer, but it is equally as captivating as her previous books. I was hooked from the prologue, wanting to follow Tia through her nightmares and her journey. The angst in this book is unbelievable, and by the end of the book, I couldn’t even guess what the next book was going to bring. I am sat on the edge of my seat, waiting not so patiently for the next book to see what will happen between Tia and Cass

Where to start with my review of Wicked Little Games. Well, its the first part of the series from Dee Palmer and you know there is going to be one hell of a cliffhanger as there always is when the book isn't a standalone. But seriously, the end of Wicked Little Games? For those who hate books who leave you with that 'WTF!!!!' feeling I highly recommend not reading this until the second book Twisted Little Games is released. But please note, this is not me saying give this series a miss. In fact, this is me saying if you like twisted, mind games with characters who are playing all their cards close to their chests... You need to read this!
I hate writing reviews saying I don't want to tell you about the characters or even the plot. Wicked Little Games literally changes how you feel about the characters as you read it. Who should you trust? Who is reliable? Who is lying? You will ask yourself all these questions as Dee (Author) does a great job of making you question everything!
Wicked Little Games was a fairly quick read. I read this over 2 sittings (This often happens if I start a book late in the evening) but if I had of started it earlier I can say I would not have put it down. I was so engrossed in the story of Tia and what had happened to her that I couldn't help myself. There are really only 2 prominent characters in this book. Tia, Atticus (Cass), Atticus' mother (And grandfather if you want to include him but he's fleeting) and Logan. Yes other characters are there, but these are the ones that stand out a lot more. I won't talk about the other character as there are surprises there and I feel it would give spoilers.
I cannot fault this piece of work by Dee Palmer. Wicked Little Games was my first introduction to her writing and I loved it. Her writing style, characters and intricate plot have me all up in a tizz and I cannot wait to see where Twisted Little Games takes us. 4 stars.

I loved this book.
When i thought it was going one way I was so wrong.. I have so many questions I can't wait to find out how it all plays out in the next book.

Wicked Little Games is a wonderfully woven tale of mystery and intrigue, betrayal and revenge and I absolutely loved it. I loved the twists and turns, the fact that no one and nothing is quite what it seems. I'm still not sure who to trust. Despite its complexity, the story flows beautifully and although it begins its journey in the present, Tia's past is cleverly unveiled in chapters told from both her point of view and from that of her first love Atticus. I'm reserving my judgment on Atticus. He professes his love for Tia but where was he when things went horribly wrong?
Some years pass and there's now another man in Tia's life. I don't want to say too much as I wouldn't wish to spoil the story but the relationship between Tia and Logan is marvellous. The sexual tension, the innuendos and flirty banter was fantastic, so funny and sexy. I loved the way that Logan was such a strong alpha character but so vulnerable and damaged at the same time. He has his own tale to tell and I can't wait to find out what that is.
Extremely well written this book is part mystery thriller, part romantic suspense at its best. Heart wrenching at times, it's dark, sexy and enthralling. I was gripped from the start. Although I knew there would be a cliffhanger, as this is book 1, the ending turned everything on its head and left me gasping. Fortunately we don't have long to wait for book 2 and I'm so excited to see what twisted secrets are still to be revealed.

The book is well written and the plot is intriguing but i didn't know it was a love triangle. It messed up everything for me. I love Tia but i can't respect a heroine that is sleeping with two boys at the same time. It cheapened the strength of the bond between atticus and tia that was so well done with the flash back. I'm going to read the next book because i want some answers but that's it I can't say that i'm excited to see tia so loved up with logan one minute and screaming her love for atticus in the next one.

This book is a whole new direction for this author and she nailed it.
We're introduced to Tia, a vulnerable, troubled young woman who only wanted one thing in life, love. And she found it with her childhood friend and teenage boyfriend, Atticus. Alas love is never a smooth journey as these lovebirds would find out. Inga, Atticus mother, or the Wicked Witch of the West as i dubbed her, despised Tia from a very young age and would do everything in her power to keep Tia and Atticus, or Cass as Tia loved to call him, apart. Her vileness knew no bounds.
Logan, Tia's housemate and admirer, has had enough of being in the 'friend zone', he wants her, all of her to be his. Tia doesn't deny her attraction to Logan, but being short on friends these days she doesn't want to lose his friendship by taking things to the next step.
The return of Cass, and the feelings she buried for him, throws her life into turmoil. She had plans, but with both men vying for her attention she doesn't know which way is up.
Past and Present collide in this nail biter full of secrets and lies. Who's telling the truth? Is anything real or was it all false and deceitful? Book 2 will hopefully hold all the answers.
Wicked Little Games had me hooked for the very start. I love a story of mystery and intrigue that has your brain working overtime to figure out what's going on and what's going to happen. The authors writing keeps you so involved with whats going on that the end catches you by surprise because you don't see it coming. I am so looking forward to Book 2 to find out if my theories are right or I'd make a crap detective.

Wow... I’m a little lost for words after reading ‘Wicked Little Games.’
I have read this author before, and I’ve got to say this is very different (in a good way) to what I’ve read from her before.
I went into this book blind, I didn’t even read the synopsis, but the type of suspenseful thriller it is, I think it just added to the reading experience. So I’m not going to divulge much about the plot of the story and leave it up to the read to discover this deceitful, intrigue tale.
For different reason and intrigue I loved all the characters. Firstly the heroine Tia, she is one tuff cookie, which is understandable! Then we have Logan, the guy who has taken in, and given Tia somewhere to live, apart from liking to walk around the house naked all of the time, he also has strong feelings for Tia, and is determined to make her his. But Logan doesn’t come without his own issues?
Then by going back in time to when Tia was just a child, we meet her best friend and first love, Atticus. They grew up together but their families where worlds apart. After certain circumstances and accusations break them apart, and years of not seeing each other ‘Cass’ shows up in Tia’s life again. I found the chemistry between Tia and both men palpable... especially with Cass, I think because of there long history between them. Even though there isn’t loads of sex scenes, (and might I add the book is that good, it isn’t needed to be loaded with sex scenes.) the sex scenes we do get are super hot and really well written, this author does erotic romance and alpha men well.
These characters had me sat on the edge of my seat, there are so many twists and turns. You don’t know who trust, who’s telling the truth and what the endgame is for any of them.
This book is full of revenge, suspense, intrigue and mystery. I really have know idea which direction this story is going to go?
For me this Dee Palmer’s writing is outstanding, she is a great story teller who has the ability to drag you in and hold you there until the very last page, I love her style of writing. Yet again she as blown me away with this un-put-downable book! Bring on book #2!
5 Huge Stars! Totally recommend.
Received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

When suddenly accused and found guilty of stealing a Kraus family heirloom, Tia is sentenced to six years in prison, and her world falls apart. Abandoned and betrayed, this is just the beginning of her nightmare, as once again she finds herself very much alone. How could this happen?
Prison changes her, but it also gives her time: time to forge new friendships, time to learn new skills, and time to plan her revenge. Her life was destroyed by Wicked Little Games, and she knows exactly who’s going to pay…
Cant wait to get my hands on the next book....we need it today DEE!!!!
When I heard Dee had a new series coming out, I knew I had to get my little paws onto it!!!! I'm so glad I did!!!! From the beginning, you have to read a few chapters to get into and figure out who is who but then the story really takes off and yes it will leave you with a lot of unanswered questions but so worth the read. You will be craving and needing more by the end that you will be asking just like me for Dee to send it to us like yesterday instead of March!!!! This book has it all from the twist, turns, betrayal, revenge, demons, redemption, so if that is your cup of tea then you NEED TO READ THIS BOOK!!!!
"You promised me forever: You lied.”
Tia was five years old when she fell in love with Atticus Kraus. She didn’t care about the castle he lived in, that he was the heir to a vast empire, or that she was the daughter of his housekeeper. She cared about the boy who made her smile, the boy who defied his mother to make her his friend, and the boy who made her feel less alone.
