Book Blurb
Jennifer Chance’s Rule Breakers series turns up the heat as a wealthy playboy and a beautiful con artist engage in a high-stakes game of seduction.
As dominating in business as he is in bed, Rand Sterling Winston, IV, always gets what he wants. And even before he realizes that she’s scammed him into paying triple the cost for her friend’s painting, he wants Dani Michaels. To catch her alone, Rand demands she personally deliver his purchase. The attraction between them is immediate and electric, and he knows she feels it, too. So when the part-time petty thief rebuffs his advances, he gives her a choice: a night in jail or an evening with him.
Despite her checkered past, Dani has never met someone like Rand: brooding, intense, and oh-so tempting. Only a man with a broken soul could make losing control feel this dangerous. Still, when Rand proposes a no-strings, no-holds-barred affair, Dani’s more than a little intrigued. It’ll be the trickiest con she's ever run and a chance to indulge her steamiest fantasies—nothing more. But as their encounters grow increasingly intimate, Dani uncovers a vulnerable side to Rand’s steely exterior . . . and opens her heart to the ultimate risk.

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Dani Michaels marks Rand Sterling Winston IV for her next con. She wants to help Erin as much as she can. So she gets Rand to pay ten thousand dollars for one of Erin’s paintings. It helped her reputation as a painter more than they could hope. When the painting needed to be delivered, Rand requested that Dani deliver it. Once there the game continued between both of them. The control switches over a couple of times but Dani figures herself the winner when she refuses to give him what he wants.
Neither one can get the other out of their head after that encounter. Dani goes back to her life but is always looking over her shoulder expecting to see him. Rand’s interest is peaked and he wants to continue the game. He has an idea to offer Dani something she can’t refuse. He is willing to pay her a lot of money to be available when he needs her for a month. Dani agrees so she can use the money to help her brother Jimmy.
During those thirty days Dani and Rand enter this game where each of them tries to hold onto the control they each believe they have over the situation. However Rand wants Dani’s complete surrender and neither is capable without confronting their pasts.
This is the fourth book in the series and I have read all of them. I have to say this is probably my least favorite. Rand’s cruel edge did not endear him to me. In fact I really didn’t care for him at all. I also didn’t like the storyline or the con they were trying to pull on each other. I guess I couldn’t get passed the cruel undertone of this pairing. It didn’t fit well for me. In other words I didn’t believe it. They use each other for their own purposes and then all of a sudden he decides he wants more.
Then Dani’s character was trying to protect herself and did what she had to do. She was the most believable part of the book. Plus the fact that Erin was the only real character from the past books that appeared in this one was disappointing. I give this book a 3 out of 5.
