THIS KIND OF BUSINESS CAN ONLY BE PERSONALSage Reese lives for her job. More precisely, she lives for her debonair boss, Parker Andersen. Sage handles everything for Parker, even as she fantasizes about the one thing that isn't in her job description: him. But when a high-stakes account crosses the line from shady to deadly, a tough cop starts giving Sage the attention she wishes Parker would . . .Detective Dean Ryker couldn't be more different from Parker. While Parker wears expensive suits like a second skin and drives a BMW, Ryker's uniform is leather jackets and jeans . . . and his ride of choice is a Harley. While Parker's sexiness is a reserved, slow burn, Ryker is completely upfront about what-and who-he's after. And Sage tops his list.Now, as Ryker digs deeper into the dark side of Parker's business, Sage finds herself caught between two men: the one she's always wanted-and the one who makes her feel wanted like never before . . .

Sage Reeves lived a quiet life, she was working for Parker Andersen as his Administrative Assistant (who she is secretly in love with) she works long hours and is basically at his beck and call. Sage was known to date but her last boyfriend thought she was tied to her job and not great in bed so that didn’t work out.

Then all of the sudden in literally a matter of days she is mixed up in a Russian mob scandal about sex trafficking and kidnapping. She was beaten, kidnapped and harassed all in a matter of days. Oh and her boss Parker is being investigated for his Russian ties by his former best friend Dean Ryker; who by the way wants to protect Sage at all costs.

I generally am not a big fan of triangles – this one is interesting though. Parker and Sage have undeniable chemistry but Parker has made it clear he doesn’t want Sage (as the reader we can see between the lines) while Ryker initially wanted to protect Sage develops real feelings for her – while Sage is caught in the middle. Keeping in mind that this is a trilogy who knows what will happen in the next set of books, but knowing Tiffany Snow what happened at the end of book 1 is not necessarily what’s going to happen in books 2 and 3.

I have read the Ivy series by this author and the one thing I can say that seems consistent is that her books move very quickly. The Power Play is action packed with a lot of developments that happen in a very short amount of time. Sometimes so quickly that as the reader I had to go back and reread passages just to keep the timeline straight. I am good with that mainly because her writing is so good, any other author I may not be. The other thing I would caution readers is that Tiffany doesn’t shy away from graphic descriptions both in regards to her love scenes and violence. I appreciate the fact that she has the same writing approach with both. I enjoyed this edge of your seat thriller/romance and am really looking forward to the next book.
