Game of Love

Game of Love!

This was my first Melissa Foster's book. I love it! This is a good second chance love story. I love the two main characters Dex and Elie. Dex is amazing! I was hooked by this book from the first page until the end. I already like The Remington family and can't wait to listen to the next book in this Series. This was my first listen to B.J. Harrison and the narration was very great. I'm looking forward for more stories by this author. I received this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Game On!

What a wonderful story! I loved the long term relationship between Dex and Ellie. This story isn't instant love, but slow, steady and unconditional. I loved how realistic some of the descriptions were. Contentment with just being by the person is such a warm feeling. Ellie had walls around her heart that Dex just got thru by being Dex. Another aspect that I found especially wonderful about this book was Ellie looking at schools to see the students and not statistics. This book has so many facets like a gem. The Remington family sounds so good with their big hearts, humor, and individual characters. The symbolism of the open window was cool too. I can't wait to hear the next story (Sage) in this series. This is a standalone listen. The narrator did a great job with all of his various characters and emotions.

Game of Love

Dex and Ellie's story started when they were kids. When Ellie as moved to a new foster family as a kid, Dex thought he'd never see her again. Several years later, she looked Dex up while she was in New York and they spent the weekend together. Dex thought he'd finally get his forever with Ellie, so when she left without saying goodbye, Dex was crushed. When she resurfaced four years later, Dex wants his forever with Ellie, but can he trust her not to run away again. Ellie is determined to show Dex she's working on her issues so she can have her happily ever after with the man she's always loved.

This is truly a wonderful story of love, trust and commitment.

A Wonderful Book

I really enjoyed reading this book. Dex Remington is one of the nation's top PC game developers. Ellie Parker is a person from his past, when they were both still in school. They have come back together again by chance. There is lots of chemistry between them, but she has lots of issues with trust stemming from her time in the system. This book brings to light some of the issues that we have in our foster system, and the lasting effects that they can have on those children, even into their adulthood. Even though this is a serious issue, it does not make this book all sad, unstead it is a very positive book, as Dex is there to help her through her issues. Yes, Dex is not just a sexy man, he is a wonderful man. Melissa Foster did an outstanding job writing this book. Then, the narrator of it is B.J Harrison, who is one of the best in his field. He does such a great job. I never get confused with him narrating. You can always tell which character is talking. I highly recommend this book, and audiobook.

Best of Friends to Intense Lovers

WOW! Dexy & Ellie...What an awesome story of friends to lovers! They are the best! And who better than Melissa & BJ to bring it to you!

Ellie was in foster care throughout her life. She met Dex while she was living through the worst home. Dex helped her deal with life as a young teen. While Dex helped Ellie, she also helped him deal with the awkwardness of his own teen years.

But Ellie hurt Dex. After years of secretly loving her, he tells her and then she disappears from his life. For 4 years, he worked and got through the lose of losing Ellis in his life, only to bump into her at his favorite bar in NYC. It was again kismet because while she had a place set up to stay, nothing was turning out right. Again, she ends up at Dex's place. They very soon realize that their feelings for each other havent faded, but now that they are living together, they intensify.

It takes time and working through old pains to get to the point where they can move forward with a life together. But, after a trip down memory lane, and a run-in with an Ex, Dex and Ellie are finally able to move ahead.

Listening to this book after reading it twice still gave it a whole new feeling. Thank you, again, BJ Harrison for another great narration!

Love rekindled

Audio books are so great for people with an very busy life and who love to read. I loved how the characters reconnected and how the story comes to life while you listen.

Little darker then most of Melissa s books

Dex Remington has been Ellie Parker's safe place since they were kids. To this day he still leaves his window open for her. Ellie grew up in foster care and lots of insecurities. With Dex's help she is able to trust and be loved the way she deserves to be. Melissa Foster gets better and better with each book. BJ Harrison did another amazing job with the narration.

Loved this book!

I listened to Game of Love again after reading it back in 2014. The narration brought to life Ellie and Dex’s story in a way that I didn’t remember from reading it. Ellie has had a rough upbringing and Dex was there for her when they were younger before she had to move away. When she shows back up at his doorstep then leaves again, he is devastated. Finding her in NYC is both a blessing and a curse. He is so happy to see her but doesn’t know if he can trust her and Ellie still doesn’t know how to open up and let him all the way in either. Overcoming their fears is the only way they can find love. This is a great story – even the second time around – I love all of Melissa’s characters but have a special soft spot for Ellie and Dex.

Loved it!

Game of Love was a really good book. The chemistry between Ellie and Dex oozes off the page. I enjoyed listening to this narrator too. I highly recommend this book.

All The Feels

This book was packed with all the feels. I found the narrators did an amazing job bringing these characters to life. My heart was pulled in so many ways for the two characters and what an emotional ride this was. This one is definitely going into my re-read/re-listen pile.
