Slick's review posted on Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews 
 Ever since author Erika Wilde introduced The Players Club in book five of the Marriage Diaries (The Invitation) I have been waiting for this book and Playing With Temptation was well worth the wait. Provocative yet emotional this book packs a punch offering some seductively kinky sexy times mixed with just enough conflict and drama to make it interesting, but without taking away from the incredible romance that blossoms. 
 I love a strong and confident heroine and that is the image that Raina Beck shows to the world at large. Owner of a successful adult toy store and boutique, Raina is proud of the life she's built and the control she's taken in her life. Her personal life has been less than stellar so when a friend gives her an invitation to The Players Club, an exclusive sex club she decides to take a chance but she has no idea it will change her life in more ways than one. 
 There is something about a strong, confident, dominate man who isn't afraid to take on a strong woman or one that isn't afraid to admit he's got strong feelings and Logan Cruz was that and so much more. A retired Marine, a respected security agent, a dedicated brother and uncle, and a man who isn't afraid to help a woman discover all kinds of new things Logan's overwhelming control made him one very attractive man. 
 Meeting and being intimate at the Player's Club makes things very interesting when Logan is assigned to protect Raina when she is the target of a stalker. I enjoyed the fact that these two met in an unconventional way and that despite the events that followed they were able to get past them and move into more than a professional relationship. Raina has some baggage but what amazed me is that Logan wouldn't let her wallow in it; he accepted everything about her and in fact was drawn to her even more because of it. I flat out love the open communication between these two on all things and while they originally held some things back they eventually laid it all out there, discussed it and moved on. Logan impressed me with the way he knew exactly what Raina needed and was very skillful in helping her accept it by building a trust she'd never had with a partner before. While physically Raina was on board pretty quickly with everything Logan expected from her, it took her a little while to figure it out mentally. 
 As with this author's previous series, I appreciate the way these characters communicated, the adult way they handled their issues, and the no holds barred way they gave themselves to each other. Playing With Temptation is a stellar start to what is sure to become an outstanding series.
