Publisher's summary

Most love stories are written in the stars. Ours was forged in darkness. A love born from survival.

One, two, three, four...

You want a fight, I'll bring a war.

Five, six, seven, eight...

I'll even use such pretty bait.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, why...

Did you leave me there to die?

But I'm not dead,

I survived... somehow.

And it's my games that you'll play now.

Rich men, poor men, begging men, bleed.

A brutal death is what they need.

Our lives were theirs; they stole our souls.

Now, it's our turn to take control.

So, do you dare to join me in my game of whys?

Where hidden truths become wicked lies.

Will you survive the ultimate test?

Which one of you will be the best?

They call you The Player, but I'm going to show

That those closest to you can be your greatest foe.

The Taskmaster is ready, are you? The Player is a standalone dark romance set in the Soldiers of Anarchy world by international bestselling author Nikki J Summers. Intended for mature listeners.

Worth the Read

I've been waiting for Will’s story and wasn't disappointed. It was a dark romance with a side of the movie Saw. The mental games had me stressed, but in the aftermath of the FMC, Bryony, and Will broke my heart. Their dedication and loyalty brought it back together. This book was an emotional roller coaster.

Took me by surprise! 😮

My absolute favorite from the series so far! The story was totally unexpected and it gave Saw vibes but make it sexy. I loved it!! Shane and Faye did amazing jobs with the narration. Couldn’t find one thing that I did not like. Plus the ending?!?! HOW?! WTF?! Isaiah NEEDS a book. A villain redemption arc 😈

WOW

What a ride/read/listen. At first I thought I wouldn’t like this book. As it’s the darkest of all the stories, I kept at it and finished it. I am still not 100% sure how I feel but you have to finish it to get what I mean. “No wire hangers” just kidding! But again you have to read/listen to fully get what I mean. Take the risk!! Shane East will surprise you! Aha, ha, haha. I gave it a four but again you have to read/listen to see why! Go on jump in!

I needed a better FMC, such a disappointment.

I needed a better FMC, such a disappointment. The story started off with a bang. By the half way mark I was so absolutely annoyed and exhausted of her. It was painful. I loved all the other books, but this was disappointing. I like seeing strong women, that encourages the reader to be a bad @ss. If you are looking for the same, you won’t find it here.

Good BUT

I’m a big fan of NJS work. I love all her books. I loved this one too BUT I couldn’t get into the emasculation of Will in the scene when she made him wear the ghost face mask. Ick, just ick. I’m all about dark ro, but men should never be bottoms. The moment that all began to go down I just skipped to the next chapter. Not my cup of tea at all and I think it really took away from the book. So, this book lost a star.
