In Dirty Games (Tropical Temptation #4) by Samanthe Beck, actress Quinn Sheridan needs to get into shape for her biggest role yet, but surviving celebrity trainer Luke McLean and his strict demands seems impossible. However, she's not about to give up, even if it means challenging him. Will Luke be able to whip Quinn into shape while convincing her to give them a shot at happy ever after, or will Quinn lose the man she's falling in love with?

The first three books of this series have been absolutely riveting reads, but this story -- I believe -- is definitely the best of the four. Really, both the main characters are incredible, the dialogue was well-written and compelling, and I loved the obstacles these two had to overcome to achieve their happy ever after. The way this story started had me sympathizing with the heroine, as she discovers how long she's got to be ready for the film and how much of a dictator her new trainer is going to be. Will she be able to handle Luke's rules to getting her in shape? However, it was from the moment Luke and Quinn meet that had me reading quickly, determined to discover whether Quinn would make it or break when it comes to what Luke wants her to do.

Both the main characters were completely engaging and made this story a total page turner with their back stories, their growing relationship and the obstacles they face on their journey to happy ever after such a betrayal that causes friction between them and whether the heroine can handle completely submitting to the hero. Moreover, the heroine is resilient, determined and I liked how she challenges the hero. I also liked how she stayed strong when it came to her brother and everything he puts her through. While the hero, he's a good guy that will do anything to make Quinn forget her troubles, a total taskmaster when it comes to getting Quinn into shape, and I liked how determined he was to resist the heroine because she's his client, even though it's inevitable that they'll give into their chemistry eventually. Chemistry that is powerful and spills over onto the pages in steamy sex scenes that prove how of a match these two are.

Overall, Ms. Beck has delivered a wonderful read from start to finish in this book, which ended perfectly with how the heroine goes about winning Luke back after things go awry between them. Will the heroine's grand gesture be enough to win Luke back? I would recommend Dirty Games by Samanthe Beck, if you enjoy books by authors Cathryn Fox, Rebecca Brooks, Daire St. Denis and Suzanne Rock.

A five figure fee. A private villa at an exclusive tropical paradise. Absolute compliance. Top tier celebrity trainer Luke McLean demands all of the above, plus strict adherence to his zero bullshit policy. Especially when faced with six short weeks to whip a spoiled starlet into leading lady shape.

Quinn Sheridan suddenly has half the time she anticipated to turn herself into an action hero for the role of her career. Luckily, her agent calls in a secret weapon, but the demanding, drop dead gorgeous hardass fails to understand SHE’S the client. She has no problem taking direction, but Luke’s definition of cooperation feels more like complete and utter submission. And she’s tempted to give it to him...
