Forbidden Game by Madison Fox
3.0
Forbidden Game is book #2 in The System series, with the romance between EnglishCoffee, aka Parker, and the System’s manager, Sydney. Therefore it is a forbidden “workplace” romance.
I loved these two characters. For Parker, I particularly loved his confidence and his constant attempts at flirting with Sydney. As EnglishCoffee, there were some British references and my favourite quotation of the entire book was when Parker said “it might make me a total knobhead, but I wanted to look after you in whatever way I could”.
I just think the plot was lacking throughout this book, for instance the inheritance storyline was more interesting than the forbidden romance which I was disappointed in. There is a great build up of tension, and some great spice that I really liked once the characters get together, but I just wanted more storyline.
So I personally enjoyed the first book, Good Game, more than this one but I’m still looking forward to the third and final book, Fake Game, with Jackson and Deer’s story.
