ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date JUNE 7, 2016

True Crime novelist Ian Sharpe has spent his career writing about serial killers for very personal reasons. For his latest exposé, he is taking on the sadistic madman known as the Red Ribbon Strangler, and when his research leads him to Hollywood’s most private and provocative actress, he will break every rule to uncover her truth.

The daughter of one of Hollywood’s golden couples, chased by paparazzi and treated as a commodity her entire life, Veronica Romero wields her sex appeal like a weapon. She expects Ian to be as easy to control as every other man she’s ever known. But from the beginning, he refuses to fall into line. Mysterious and cool, challenging and just a little bit dangerous, Ian somehow makes her feel safe—even as he digs into the deepest secrets of her life and pushes her to the breaking point.

As raw ecstasy gives way to agonized truths, their dark obsession exposes secrets that have been buried for far too long. Ian wants to tear down her walls and heal the sensual woman underneath. But if Veronica’s learned anything, it’s that the line between pleasure and pain is a narrow one—and when caught between them the only thing that matters is how you play the game.

Lovegame is intended for mature audiences.

•••••••••••••

REVIEW: LOVEGAME by Tracy Wolff is a stand alone, somewhat dark, erotic romantic suspense storyline focusing on True Crime novelist Ian Sharpe, and Hollywood star and sex goddess Veronica Romero.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Ian and Veronica) LOVEGAME follows Ian Sharpe, a former FBI profiler, as he is tasked with writing an expose on the notorious ‘Red Ribbon Strangler’- a serial killer with connections to Hollywood actress Veronica Romero. As luck would have it, Veronica is starring in Ian’s number one selling- book to movie- based upon the infamous ‘Belladonna’ killer, and has reluctantly granted Ian a personal interview. What ensues is a power struggle between writer and actor wherein deflection, distraction, non-compliance, and secrets never before revealed come to the surface and all but destroy two people in the process. At times our heroine believes she is going insane, and all indications point to a darker side.

LOVEGAME looks at the battle for control. Veronica uses her ‘sex siren’ persona as a mask; a shield to keep the public from seeing the emotional and psychological scars that have all but destroyed the little girl she once used to be. As a former FBI profiler, Ian sees through Veronica’s armour, and knows that there is much more to the goddess that what she reveals to the world. The push and pull of the relationship is controlled by Veronica’s secrets; their sexually addictive ideations; and the struggle for power and control. The $ex scenes are intense, passionate, erotic and controlling. The story line touches on some light BDSM scenarios and exchanges.

Tracy Wolff’s LOVEGAME is a story of mystery and suspense; a psychological thriller that looks at the destructive nature of a serial killer’s action, and the repercussions on the victims left behind. Through Ian Sharpe’s narration we get into the head of a profiler who has found himself falling for his latest mark. Veronica is desperate to keep secret the darkness of her past, and in doing so gives Ian a run for the proverbial money. The premise is entertaining and exotic; the characters are charismatic, broken and fated; the romance is provocative and explosive.
