I hate that woman.
Tyler Neumann has spent years looking for his father, and not because he wants to meet the man. No, he wants to destroy him. And he’ll manipulate whoever he can to exact his revenge.
Including Stella McCormick. She’s everything Tyler hates. Her wealth and privilege have protected her for her entire life, and Tyler thinks it's time she finally paid the price. Whether she’s ready to or not.
I hate that man.
Stella might not believe in love at first sight, but loathing at first sight—no question. From the moment she sets eyes on Tyler in her tattoo parlor, she knows he’s the devil planning to make her life hell.
Forced to play the part of his girlfriend and invite him into her family’s glittering circles, Stella quickly clocks Tyler’s ulterior motives. But love and hate are two sides of the same coin, and soon she doesn’t know which is worse: being blackmailed by a man who wants to ruin her, or that they can’t seem to keep their hands off each other.

✨ Summarized by Bookclubs AI
Readers say *Game On* delivers sharp wit, spicy scenes, and satisfying character growth, especially Tyler’s gritty journey. Many praise the satisfying...
I think this is a solid second place for the Lights Out challenge, and I wouldn’t be surprised if we get another one. One review made a good point—it’s marketed as enemies to lovers, but it’s really more fake dating than anything. I think I hyped myself up into expecting more than what it actually was. I gave it 5 stars online, but I’m considering dropping it to a 3.
The finale we deserved. Every thread Navessa Allen has been pulling since book one comes together here, and the payoff is so satisfying I actually put the book down for a second just to catch my breath. Aly's growth across the trilogy has been such a joy to watch.From exhausted, thirsty nurse to a woman who fully embraces the chaos (and danger) that found her, and watching her finally get her HEA felt earned in every sense.
This series as a whole is proof that dark romance doesn't have to sacrifice humor to be genuinely tense and emotionally resonant. Game On sticks the landing with the same sharp wit, spice, and heart that made this trilogy an instant favorite. If you haven't started Into Darkness yet, do yourself a favor and clear your weekend
The combination of enemies to lovers mixed with dominance and brat plus a poly relationship just felt like a little too much all at once. There was too much going on, while also not enough happening, somehow. The audiobook narrators made this a pleasant experience, but on its face, these characters were not very likeable, the plot was not very believable, and the relationship was pretty toxic.
Spice: 3/5 - multiple scenes, full description.
Okay, now that the gang is formed, tell me we are getting more books with them against the worst of humanity right? Please? Don't make me beg!
Each book becomes my new favorite, Tyler's story does not disappoint. I knew his behavior in previous books was foreshadowing some gritty past and unhealed trauma. But I was not ready for this installment. He's broken, angry and out for revenge. So much doesn't go as planned, we meet him when he is in his peak 'I'm king of the world' moment, and everything is a wild ride from there.
This series does a great job at interconnecting everyone's lives even though the characters don't realize how close they all have been to being friends, or at least knowing each other. The way Tyler's story wraps up is expected, but also rewarding. Some of the lose ends are left in a 'just assume they talked it out' state, but I think that is a given for how high everyone's emotions and trauma is in this book.
I do hope we can see this cast again in future books, I think they would make a great team. Go after the worst of the worst, maybe get deeper into the mob? I don't know, there is just so much potential for this cast.
If you love spicy romance books with bad guys that aren't so bad when you get to know them you're going to love this series.
