I enjoyed this very quick and easy to read book. I liked the characters, and the sports themed story. This was a very erotic book with quite a few extremely passionate scenes. The only issue I had with the book was that I really didn't understand what kept Melissa from accepting Dominic's feelings when he told her he loved her. I couldn't see where all the angst she felt over their relationship was coming from when she had loved and dreamed about him for years.
In spite of this, reading Game for Seduction was definitely worthwhile. I had no idea. She writes some steamy stuff! This was pretty good - fast paced, sexy - and a good story. I will be reading some more of her! Most of the erotic novels I've read thus far have just been foreplay, compared to this one written by Ms. This was my first novel by her, and most definitely won't be my last one. Andre described in full detail the numerous sexcapades Dominic and Melissa shared, I felt as though I was committing voyeurism, being in the same room, vehicle, or any public location known to man, about to participate alongside with them.
NOT from the first time he touches her! Dominic had a way to move heaven and earth to keep Melissa hanging on, whatever it took, he would ultimately fight hell or whomever stood in his way, to make her, HIS! This was a pretty good story with a little bit of internal growth on the part of the protagonists.
Those who are football fans like me may find the setting enhances the story enough to overcome the mediocre love story.

The heroine lets her libido overcome her good sense if she has any and is darned lucky she works for daddy or her actions would have put her career in the toilet. I wish the author had the skill to do better with this excellent story line. The sex scenes are almost enough to make This was a pretty good story with a little bit of internal growth on the part of the protagonists.
The sex scenes are almost enough to make up for the rest Jun 06, Katie babs rated it liked it. Melissa McKnight works for her father, who is a very successful sports agent. Yup, he is one of those parents who treats his child like crap. But Melissa wants to prove her father wrong. And ever since Melis Melissa McKnight works for her father, who is a very successful sports agent.
And ever since Melissa has been seventeen years old, she has been crushing after Dominic. How wrong she is. Dominic wants Melissa, and badly, but since they work together and are professionals, he has this hands off rule. But it is getting much harder for him to not act on his desire for the lovely Melissa. And when Melissa tries to take on a new client all by herself, who is pretty much the ultimate bad boy of the NFL, Dominic takes it upon himself to watch over Melissa.
Dominic is a tad jealous because he thinks Melissa will fall for this new upcoming star. So, he in turn offers himself as a client to Melissa. Of course he wants whole lot more where Melissa is concerned. This is the only second book I have ever read by Bella Andre and it was one sexy, almost borderline erotic read. I absolutely love those stories where the heroine thinks she is not good enough for the handsome to die for hero. Dominic has these great set of morals, mainly because of something that happened to him when he was a teen.
But when it comes to sex and with the one woman he wants, well, those self imposed rules he has placed upon himself are meant to be broken. Game For Seduction is a pretty fast read with a romance that I really did enjoy. May 05, Christi Snow rated it it was amazing. I loved this book. A great example of two people who think that they can't be together, but simply can't stay away from each other. Melissa has had a crush on Dominic ever since she was 17 years old.
Dominic has lusted after Melissa for years. One passion-filled evening quickly leads them down a path where they cannot keep their hands off each other. I loved Melissa's character. She's so tough and ballsy. Her heart may be breaking, but she never lets it show. She has been raised in a ma My Review: She has been raised in a man's world and has learned how to hide everything under a professionally facade at all times.
I loved watching her hold her head high and pull out that persona- this is a gal that never cracks and you have to admire that. Dominic is America's sweetheart. A really all-around nice guy that hasn't been spoiled by all of his fortune and fame. He respects Melissa and what she is trying to build. His protective instincts around her are phenomenal. Sensitive, sweet, and sexy- you gotta love those qualities in a guy.

Some of my favorite scenes of his in this book were with Ty and TJ- he's a pro athlete, but willing to share with the next guy to help- no macho competition here. This is a great sensual read. Now I definitely need to search out the other 2 in this series This was 2 out of May 07, Denise rated it did not like it Shelves: I'm just going to bang my head on my desk now I am so disappointed in this author's female leads.
Ugh maybe I'm just too pissed off that these women have been given jobs by the author where "image" is so important yet they keep taking risks like having sex in public multiple times. Yeah, it's hot but you're shooting your character's credibility straight out the window and I spend the whole book pissed off instead of enjoying the fun! Once, in the heat of the moment, mayb No no no! Once, in the heat of the moment, maybe, but come on! Jan 05, Splage rated it really liked it Recommends it for: Very sexy Sports Romance.
Loved the hero, sort of an abrupt ending that was wrap a little quickly, but I still thought it was a great read for the second time.

Sep 26, Holly rated it really liked it. I really enjoyed this book, so much that I whipped right through it! One Hot, Sexy Football player and tons of hot sex and a very sweet love story!! My idea of the perfect book!! Perhaps I was just younger and was wanting something different from the books I read than I do now, but after reading at this time I would give it a two maybe a three for certain parts.
The story was much more about their lust than them actually falling in love. I found it to be more annoying than believable how he kicked her to the curb and then suddenly wanted her; denied any feelings for her and then suddenly he loved her. It was also kind of annoying how she loves him but refuses to accept what he says when he says he loves her. I also didn't like her relationship with her father.
Maybe I'm just incredibly blessed in my relationship with my father and so am naive, but I found their relationship to be disfunctional and emotionally abusive. Sep 10, Ochie rated it really liked it. I think this is way better than the first book from the series. That's me being a sucker for unrequited love stories. I really enjoyed this one and I'm hoping that the next from the series is something I'd also enjoy: May 06, Cheryl rated it liked it Shelves: I love the author and so I read this book even though I'm not generally a fan of sports romances. It didn't read as quickly as I would have liked, but the story was good.
I really liked the female "finding" herself. I got one more from this series and will start reading it tonight.

Dominic and Melissa had potential but Melissa needed to see the light sooner! Liked them in the end. Her father signs Dominic as a client, and Dominic makes the company a ton of money. Over the years Melissa grows up and becomes an agent in her own right, but still she lusts after Dominic. Never will she mix business with pleasure, or she thinks she won't. But when her father won't give her a promotion to agent, she goes out drinking and ends up straight into Dominic's arms for the night.
Dominic DiMarco walks a straight and narrow line of being the good boy with a handsome body and face. But behind all that glorious good looks, lies a secret he has been hiding his entire career. He won't let those demons die and carries them with him always. When he falls into bed with Melissa, he is convinced they cannot have anything more than friendship and at best her being his agent. He pushes her away, but he can't stay away. This book is beyond haut! And if I thought the first book had a lot of sex, this one had a large amount of public sex that both characters keeps thinking is the last time.
If caught it could ruin both of their careers. When Melissa's father gives her one chance to make an impossible deal, Melissa tries hard to keep her relationship with Dominic a professional one, but neither can resist the other one. The plot isn't complicated. A couple who has denied their attraction for years, suddenly fall into bed with each other and finally in love with each other.
They must overcome the stigmas of their life and get past their problems with the public eye. There is the side story of Dom's secret, which is tragic, but really everyone has moved on except for him. On top of that, Melissa is fighting for a career in a man's world and you feel like punching her father for the twists he throws her way.
She put up with it a lot longer than I ever would have. So if you are looking for a fun, quick read, then this is a good book to read. You don't need to have read the first book in the series. While you see those characters, their part in the book is small and bears no importance on this plot.

He rather spends his free time cooking, or staying at home. He was also involved in some charity. He was also smitten with her. I imagined Dominic looking like him. I love how good they were as a team. Yes , in public.
Dominic is such a keeper kind of guy. I wonder where I can find someone like him. And as for Melissa, I admired her. And I envy her for having someone like Dominic. And even though there isn't much football action in this book, I still enjoyed it. And will probably read it again. If you are looking for a hot steamy sex, sports theme romance, football them or just simply looking for a quick, fun and enjoyable read, Game for Seduction is the one.

As they walked out to his car, she stuck to business. Any new players to watch? He pulled away from the curb, then turned to look at her. She turned away and pretended to look out the window. She'd thought they had an unspoken agreement to stick to business from here on out. What was he doing? A few silent minutes later, they pulled up in front of Cravings, the hottest restaurant in the city.
The valet opened her door and helped her out of the car, but Dominic was at her side before the man could help her up to the curb. She was surprised to recognize the very handsome owner standing at the entrance, saying hello to some customers, thanking others for coming.

Jason had gained fame as a restaurateur in Napa and had opened this San Francisco location less than a year earlier. A huge smile lit his face when he saw them, and he and Dominic embraced before he turned to greet her. She was amazed that a truly gorgeous man like him didn't make her heart race. Jason's friendly expression didn't change.

Dominic let Jason's obvious fib go. Especially considering how good-looking and successful he is. Something that looked like jealousy crossed Dominic's face.
Married his college girlfriend recently. Dominic's small smile made her hot all over. Because he'd always been a superstar and she'd always been in awe of him. And even though she'd memorized every interview he'd given during the past twenty years, she didn't really know anything about him at all. His prefootball past was vague and mysterious. Another waiter came in to give them the details of the seven-course menu, and she nodded in all the right places even though she didn't hear a word he said.
As the waiter placed an amuse-bouche on the plate in front of her, she told Dominic, "My life is very ordinary. I'd rather hear about yours. You're one of the greatest wide receivers of all time.
