Jayne King lived in a world of players. She’d been groomed by her father to win, taking no prisoners in her quest to reach the top.

But, it was never enough. She wanted out, and just when she finds her escape, she’s pulled back into the underground crime world of Las Vegas. One phone call spins her life out of control, and she once again has to live her life behind a mask of lies.

Her body is for sale, but her heart is off limits. Flynn Maguire, professional gambler and notorious ladies’ man, always wins. Always. As the son of the heir to the Emerald Hotel and Casino fortune, he’s always had his desires delivered on a silver platter. When he crosses paths with Jayne King, he will stop at nothing to have her.

Nothing has ever stood between him and what he wanted, and there wasn't an amount of money too high to pay to own her. He realizes too late, that money can’t buy her heart, and he finds himself in a place he never he’d be. In love.

Las Vegas, casinos, hotel suites, hate, love, desperation, shitty situations, shocking actions etc.

This book has it all! And you can't get enough of it!

See Jayne Play is the first book in The Jayne series and follows the first part of Jayne King's life while she lives in Las Vegas.

Jayne King is an 25-year-old woman who had lived the most of her life in the City of Sin aka Las Vegas. She's forced to work as a high class escort so she can pay the dept that her father owns at some very dangerous guys - if only she knew who they were. Along with her "brother", Vince, she tries to raise the money so she can free her father.

Flynn Maguire is the only son of Doyle Maguire, the owner of the Maguire Hotel and one of the richest guys in Las Vegas. At some point, his radar falls onto Jayne and he decides that he has to make her his. But his interest in her runs deeper than just being one of her clients. He wants her only for himself. And that is proving to be a tough challenge.

At first, he sends a request to Vince so he can set him up a night with her. Jayne is bit overwhelmed by that request since she wasn't expecting it coming from that specific person. But that night turns out like nothing she expected. She just gets to walk away with 10K without doing practically nothing, which kind of pissed her off since he was the only one that had her heart beating frantically and blood heating.

But Flynn proves to be a player with a much more complicated game plan. So, in the next days that follow Flynn becomes a constant presence in her life and that's where he drops him bong proposition: she gets to spend 10 days with him excursively against 1.000.000$! And that's when Jayne, along with hearing that Flynn had fall for her since she was 13, finally admits both to herself and Flynn that she loves him.

Unfortunately, life loves throwing some very difficult obstacles in our way to test us and that's exactly what happened here. Jayne finds out that Flynn is somehow involved with her father's abduction and just flips out. And this is the point where everything goes down.

That first part of Jayne's story will leave breathless and unable to put it down until the very end of it. Also, you're going to seriously swoon over Flynn and want to be in Jayne's shoes because just reading how FREAKING DEEP his feeling for her are running, you are going to get u n b e l i e v a b l y jealous!! Trust me on this!! :p

Jami Denise swept me literally off my feet and honestly i don't want to put my feet on the ground again. I just can't! I'm impossibly captivated and in love to just stop and return to the reality. ;)

And if you are one of those readers that love the dangerous guys, the underground world, the dirty situations and the complicated love story, then this series is without question for you!!!

Once again a freebie off Amazon and I really had no idea what to think at the beginning as it's one the first books in a long time that I didn't know where it was going. 4 Kíngs for this read!!

Jayyne King is a strong heroine with a back of steel she hasn't been dealt the best hand in life and only wants normal. She nearly had normal or as normal for her as you an get.......
Growing up on the streets of Vegas and having a hustling father has equipped her with many skills. She has created an image for herself but unfortunately has returned to Vegas to do what she didn't want to do anymore be an escort. Vince is the brother she never had and helps her to deal with the issue of her father.

Jayne gets booked by Flynn Maguire and at the beginning it seems to be business or some kind of kink but in the end they can't deny their feelings. They have been running in the same circles in Vegas for a while but living on different sides of it. Flynn was a bastard to begin with but he redeemed himself and I understand why he did what he did but I mean Jayne has trust issues doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that the plan is going to back fire Flynn.

The ending wasn't what I was expecting... but it leaves everything open for the next book "See Jayne Run" I loved this book and am seriously annoyed that I have to wait till the end of the year to get the next installment. Write faster!!!!! :-)

I received a copy of the book from the author in exchange for a honest review. All opinions are my own and I was not compensated for this review.

Jayne is down on her luck. Her father has been kidnapped, and she hasn't got the money to set him free. So she does what any other good daughter would do, uses her assets to leverage his freedom. Unfortunately for her, this means her looks; the one thing she's always been able to trade on.

Early on in the story, we meet Flynn Maguire. A hot son of a Las Vegas scion, he works hard, plays hard and loves a damn sight harder. Like me, Jayne falls for him hard. But every time she sees him, he uses something to push her away. A word, an action, the company of another woman. She needs the money he pays for her company to pass on to her father's kidnappers, so she submits to his demands. As their passion grows, so does the tension within the Las Vegas gambling fraternity, as Jayne starts to learn who she can trust, and who she can't.

As the story progresses, we learn there is more connecting the two of them than just hot, steamy desire, though that was more than enough to keep my interest. There's a complicated history between them, one that comes to an exploding climax near the end of the first book. And though I'm loathe to give away more of the plot than that, rest assured I'm left in no doubt that the second installment will be even hotter and more action packed than the first.

This is the author's first foray into published fiction, and I'm impressed by the characterization, plot and standard of writing. Though this story is short (novella length) it is action packed, and kept my eyes glued to the screen of my kindle. I'm really looking forward to hearing more from Jami Denise.

Jayne is a very strong lead character. The fact she had to grow up surrounded by gambling, and being in Casino's really made her have tough skin. Her father was big in the gambling scene and taught her everything he knew and soon she also became a tough contender. Then things get real interesting when her father owes somebody money and they kidnap him which forces Jayne to have to do something she doesn't want to do. She becomes an escort. She already owns the business, why not join in? It makes for easy money and it pays well, and of course its her last resort.

Then enter Flynn McGuire, the sex God on a stick. Jayne has always watched him from afar, but soon finds her self face to face and very intimate with the sexy man. He keeps throwing out mixed signals, Jayne doesn't know which end is up with him. One minute he seems to truly care for her and the next he is making her watch him make out with other women. The one thing Jayne was always good at was putting on a "mask" so to speak, she could control her feelings and play the role of the escort. However, with Flynn, she couldn't do that. She felt and acted like the giddy school girl around him.

Vince, her best friend, and 'go to' guy for setting up her "dates" is very good to Jayne. He helps her see that she is feeling more than client/escort feelings for Flynn. She isn't Jayne around him, she is Janie. He is also the one to keep his head when they are around the men who have her father. And they both realize that the only way to make sure the payments are made on time are if Flynn keeps up her services. Flynn then makes an offer they can't refuse. 10 days with him for a huge amount of money. Jayne can't refuse because it means her father will be released.

This is where things get really interesting. Secrets are revealed, people are hurt, and Jayne ends up more confused than ever.

I really enjoyed this story. It was short, but did not lack substance. You are left not knowing what's going to happen. There will be a book 2, and I know some of the readers like to know if the book has a cliffhanger, so be warned there is a cliffhanger. I, myself, don't mind the cliffhanger, as long as the next book comes out fairly soon after the 1st book is released.

Well, Jayne may play, but Jami Denise does not. This book took off running from the get go and I couldn’t stop turning the pages. Explicit? Yes. Most definitely, but what I’ve always loved about Jami’s writing is that she gives me more than that. She gives me characters that are flawed and yet, oh so loveable and she gives me a plot that makes me want to keep on keeping on until I’ve found out everything I can regarding the who what where when and why of what in the hell is going on. Jayne’s (aka Janie) way of making lemonade out of the lemon life her father has given her is just heart clutchy and Flynn. OMG. Flynn. I can’t even tell you how swoon worthy this guy is. And I cannot give away the plot without ruining it so I won’t but seriously. This guy. He and Jayne together are so fun to watch as their relationship grows and the twist at the end will make you anxious for #2 in the series to come out. NOW. I can’t say thank you enough to Jami for writing, I am so happy to get to watch her take this next step in her writing career and that the rest of the world can appreciate her for the fantastic writer that she is.

4.5 stars for See Jayne Play!

I loved this book, it is an exciting, sexy quick read and leaves you wanting wanting more. once you start it, its hard to put down.
I loved Jayne's inner strength, doing what she needed to do for her family even though it was difficult for her. Flynn is hot and mysterious, a lethal combination. Their relationship isn't a typical one, its filled with head games, lies, and super hot lust, and maybe love.
Be warned See Jayne Play does end in a cliffhanger. I have so many questions and I can't wait to see what happens next, I need to get my hands on the second book in this exciting series.

Such a great book! Jayne is an incredibly strong woman and yet has times of vulnerability. She finds herself in a position where she's not sure if it's safe to open her heart. Flynn is one of the hottest men that I have recently read and is a force of pure testosterone. Jami put these two characters together and the result is explosive!

I like how it started, kinda hot.

I was suffering from migraine when I read this and I was also busy, so in between rest, I read this. Around 30%, I just breeze through the novel. I like it, though the falling in love part is kind of fast but...whatever... I'm not sure If I'm going to read book 2 yet.

He realizes too late that money can’t buy her heart and finds himself in a place he never thought he’d be. Out of luck. CONTENT WARNING: This story contains scenes of an explicit, erotic, or violent nature and is intended for adults. 18+ Story includes graphic language, violence, and sexual situations.
Review: I was amazingly surprised at how good this book was. See Jane Play is simply like nothing else I have ever read. Considering the lifestyle and the background of these characters, the story very quickly could have went wrong in so many ways. There is a fine balance to be had when you are talking about a high priced call girl and the world she lives in filled with crime, gambling, and prostitution. While you don't want to sugercoat anything, you also don't want to go too far in the other direction and risk alienating your audience because they can't relate to the characters - or they don't want to try to relate. In this case, the author struck a perfect balance, which left me giving it a resounding 'WOW' at the end.
As the story progressed, I grew more and more captivated with Jayne - as well as with this odd relationship that seemed to be developing between her and Flynn. I honestly could not stop reading it. While I know many of you might read the blurb, or find out that it's about a high priced call girl, and decide to give it a pass. I urge you to reconsider. The author manages to handle everything with style and class, and there is nothing in here that you wouldn't find in the typical erotica romance novel. And the whole storyline is so intriguing - keeping you guessing until the very end. It doesn't fall into stereotypical guidelines, which is part of what I found so captivating about it.
I loved how Jayne was also described as almost two different people - Jayne being the alter ego, the high priced call girl, the woman that loved to be the center of attention in the room - the one who loves male attention and knows how to keep them happy. But she is also Janie, the woman who is not on duty, who's more quiet and content to not be in the limelight. Another thing I really enjoyed was Flynn's penchant for the color red - especially when secrets start unraveling and we find out exactly why.
All in all, if you're looking for something a little different, this book is perfect for you! I have to tell you though that it ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, which will definitely have me chomping at the bit to read the next installment! I can't wait to find out what happens to Jayne - and how things develop with her and Flynn. An excellent read that I am glad was brought to my attention - I would have hated to miss out!
Don't miss the next installment, See Jayne Run, which has a tentative release date set for February 3, 2014.

Not to ruin anything but this is an ongoing series so if you want to get into this book, beware it's the first book in the series and will leave you with cliff hangers.

I enjoyed this. I got sucked into the story right away and hit it off with a bang. Jayne is a really strong independent woman but she was also a vulnerable girl. She is a loving daughter that give up her freedom to save such an ashat of a father who doesn't deserve her as a daughter. I mean her father got himself into his dealings and she has to pay for his freedom. Yeah, like I know he's family and all but really? I'm not really sure what I'll do but for a father like hers..... nahhhhh. But she did grow up learning the things she learned to do in Vegas from her father so I suppose.... Jayne is also very closed off towards other people, most especially to her clients. She's a top ranking escort and doesn't like mixing her personal life into her work life but Flynn gets under her skin and she comes tumbling down every time he asks for her company. But then things get mixed in the bond they build and she's confused on who to trust and what Flynn really wants from her. But in other news she lacked in character and seemed to

Flynn on the other hand is pure God! Not just that the name Flynn is super sexy, but he is truly a sexy rich spoiled beast! A super playboy in the city of sin~ Getting what he wants when he wants it. But when it comes to Jayne, there's something that just clicks between he two. But even through their connection there always lies trouble. Like he's hot and cold all the time, playing with Jayne and pushing her feelings around. Yes, I'll take his money to be his escort any day but for him to drag me along as he did Jayne on such a wild but thrilling and super complicated ride is just frustrating. Like are you with me or are you not with me on this? And to have me watch you make out with another lady!? Do you like being watched doing your dirty, Flynn? LOL Anyways, I just couldn't resist his lure and sexiness. But then secrets lies every where in Vegas so even Gods can be dangerous~

What I thought was strange was that Jayne watched this man for a long time and thought him strange or maybe a bit creepy? And yet feeling stirred and love supposedly grew.

But yeah, I was so shocked about this book..... Loved all the suspense and build up, but the drama and romance was alright~

It was written wonderfully and easy to follow and I would recommend this but I'm not sure at the same time either. Of course you'll have to be able to read and enjoy erotic and some explicit readings but it all depends on the person.

30 lashes with a wet noodle for me.

I read this back in September and could have sworn I posted my review until I searched my reviews and it wasn’t there.

Bad bad blogger.

I’m trying to get away from telling you what the book is about in my reviews anymore. You can read the blurb, it’s right there, most of you don’t want that anyway. Instead I’m just going to jump right in.

Jayne grew up in the casino/gambling world and was groomed by her father to know the ins and outs of that side of life. She left it behind and became a high priced call girl and then became a madam. (That’s the right term right?) She still goes out on calls for herself because there is a debt that needs to be paid. That part isn’t in the blurb so I don’t want to go into too much detail, but that right there is what is driving Jayne.) Jayne is such an incredibly strong character. I don’t think we’d be BFFs in any space or time, but she was a great leading lady. To me Jayne isn’t a black or white character, good vs evil, she’s more gray. In fact, all of the main characters are that way I think, (minus the blatantly evil one.)

Flynn hires Jayne one night and our two main characters meet, they knew of each other previously, but they didn’t know each other like this before the first night. I couldn’t get a read on Flynn at the beginning. I didn’t think I was going to like him much after the way he acted during that first encounter, but as these two kept meeting, he kind of wriggled himself into my semi-good graces. If I had more time with him (hello book 2 and 3!) I think he would be a character that I grow to really like if he keeps going in the same direction he was head.

The book is incredibly hot with scenes that left me fanning myself and is full of action, twists, turns, and a great story line.

I am going to go grab the next 2 books right now. I want to see what happened after …

Thank you so much for my copy of See Jayne Play!

4 stars!

This book was given to me for my honest review.

“I was drowning in him” Jayne

Flynn-smokin hot alpha male

Can she complete her tasks and find love along the way? Can she be the woman on the mission and still find the love that she so desperately seeks? Can she set her father free or will there be nothing she can do?

Flynn and Jayne have a lot of firsts in their lives but how far can these firsts go? Can these two find the love that is in their hearts and beat as one together? Will fate tear them apart for a bigger purpose? But can fate also keep them together for a much powerful purpose? This is their journey which is scary and yet calming at the same time. Frightening as these two hearts are together when the past and the current future collide they become stronger as a unit till fate once again fears it ugly head again. Does this couple get their happily ever after? Please pick up this book to find out. Did I mention that the sex is a tornado in the making?

What happens to Vince? Where does his fate lie?

To the author one amazing read. You grabbed me at page one and did not let go even as the last sentence was read. This journey between Flynn and Jayne was more than amazing it was beyond the written word.

Happy Reading

4 stars

See Jayne Play is a really good read. Once I picked it up I was not able to put it down. Flynn’s character was really appealing; I just had to know more of him.

At an early age Janie's father taught her how to hustle money from people. As she got older the hustling became more complicated and the stakes were higher. Once Jayne turned 18 she decided to leave Las Vegas with the promise to never come back. When her father is kidnapped she finds herself breaking her promise and once again becoming Jayne King one of Vegas highest paid escorts. She has always been able to keep her feelings and clients’ separate. That is until she meets with Flynn Maguire.

Flynn Maguire is considered Vegas royalty, heir to the Maguire fortune. He is a high roller and a ladies man, his reputation precedes him. He is handsome, confident, and well built. He is also the son a very powerful and dangerous man in Vegas. With his status he can have anything and any one he wants at his side. Instead he hires an escort and specifically requests Jayne. More than once does he has her at his disposition and is reluctant to take her, leaving Jayne hot and bothered.

Early on in the story Flynn and Jayne have a connection and as the story continues they develop a stronger bond. Once Jayne feels like everything is falling into place her world comes tumbling down. Jayne is left feeling betrayed and confused of who she can actually trust.

I am definitely looking forward to the next installment to this series. I can’t wait to find out what’s the next step in Jayne and Flynn’s story.

See Jayne Play (Jayne series #1)
By: Jami Denise
4/5 stars


Jayne King is a retired high-price, high-demand, Vegas call girl who lives in California and is currently a highly successful madam. She always wanted out of Vegas and the lifestyle of her dad being a gambler & criminal. But she is dragged back into it all, when she finds out that her dad owes an outrageous amount of money to criminal casino owner, Doyle Maguire and he will be killed unless she can come up with the money.

So Jayne heads back to Las Vegas and picks up where she left off when she escaped Vegas. She knows that she will have to work hard and get the word out quick that she is back in business in order to make the deadline. She does have a few dates and makes money (which is hot!) Little does she know that someone has had their eye on her for quite a while and plans to get her to agree to a longer term agreement in hopes of starting something more concrete.

Flynn Maguire, the sole heir to his dad’s hotel and casino, is somewhat of a celebrity gambler and ladies’ man. He’s watched Jayne from afar and has desired her for years. He will stop at nothing to get Jayne and has no price limit of what he’s willing to pay to have her. But while he’s busy falling in love he realizes almost too late, that Jayne’s heart isn’t for sale.

I really liked Vince. He’s Jayne’s best friend and he sets up her dates and provides protection, so that she stays safe and actually gets paid.

Fair warning this book does end in a cliffhanger. The sequel, Queen of Hearts, is out now.

Story was a very fun, fast paced, and quick read. The quick insight to the Lust, Lies, Deceit, Gambling and Escort business in Vegas was thrilling in the extreme. I wished I could've seen Jayne play more, however what a character.

Jayne learned to grow up and become a strong and independent woman way to early in life and she rocked it so good! Instead of living a normal childhood she found out the hard way that she was going to have to be the parent in her family and continued to bail her father out time and time again. When her father reaches his final crescendo of epic failure in gambling debt, boozing and Vegas life, she has to use her street smarts and lady parts to once again save him.

Flynn Maguire seems to be a spoiled little pretty boy, but don't judge a book by its cover, he is so much more and a bag of Doritos to! YUM! :drool: :thud: He has admired Janie from afar since he was 16, he is smitten and decides he must have her and he always gets what he wants. He sees his father for what he really is and tries to run interference with his plans, they go awry.

Flynn's Quote: "I always get what I want, and I have always, and will always, only want you."

Thank you Jami Denise!

LOVED this book!
Jayne King has lived a hard life that not many people live and she just wants to be normal. She's on her own doing well, but constantly has to save her father from his scams. The latest scam, her father got into a bind and is being held for ransom. Jayne is working as a call girl to get the money to save him.
She sees famous localite, Flynn Maguire, whom she's always had a crush on. He winds up using her services, but he's weird. Like, really really weird. Eventually, he demands her time exclusively. He tells her that he's loved her for a long time and wants her and that no one else can have her.
The suspense boils over and drama ensues and Jayne gets a shock of her life that she didn't expect and did not see coming. I'm happy with the way this book ends, but it's definitely a cliffhanger and I cannot wait for the next book in the series.
Jami has a wonderful way with words that keeps you reading and once you start, it's hard to put the book down. (It took me forever to finish it because I kept getting busy and interrupted, but when I'd sit for a few minutes, I didn't want to put it down!)

Would I read it again? ABSOLUTELY
Would I recommend it? ABSOLUTELY

This was a great read with suspense, heartbreak, love, and of course there’s plenty of steamy scenes. Good characters and an action packed story line made for a great book.

Flynn and Jayne have a complicated relationship. Flynn’s a sexy and successful gambler and Jayne grew up around the poker tables hustling people with her dad. At first Flynn seems a bit strange but over time he shows his feeling for Jayne run deep. Despite his faults, I really liked him. He wants to give Jayne everything. Jayne doesn’t trust very many people and she’s had to do a lot of not so great things just to survive. I admire her strength, determination, and strong will.

Things about the plot were a mystery at times. There was also plenty of suspense and some pretty hot scenes as well. I liked Jayne and Flynn as characters. There weren’t a lot of secondary characters of consequence other than Vince, Jayne’s protective and ‘older brother like’ friend. However, this a good book and I look forward to reading book 2, See Jayne Run. This is a 4 out of 5 stars!

If this is Jami Denise's first book, then I can't wait to see what she has in store for later.

I was hooked on the story of Jayne and Flynn from the start. I was secretly hoping there would be some swooping hero moments in this story, and I was not let down. As much as I loved how fiercely independent Jayne is, I wanted her to fall for Flynn. And as stubborn as Flynn was, I wanted him to open up to Jayne. Yes, there were some moments that made me want to smack both of them in the face, but what's a good book without that?

This book blew me away. It's novella length and left me wanting more in a good way. I was not let down through out this story and it ended with be best little tease of what is to come!

See Jayne play is a short story that I managed to read in a little over an hour. It may be short but it was packed.

I can’t really say too much without giving spoilers, it really is a case of a book that must be read. What I will say though is Janie and Flynn are people you need to meet and become involved in their lives.

I like the way that the book hasn’t gone too far in to a background history. As this is part of a series it would have been easy to do so. Instead the author has jumped right in with the action while still having you connect with the characters and the book.

It flowed well and I can’t wait for the rest of the story to unfold in the next installment.

I picked this up as a freebie and was blown away. I couldn't get enough. I laughed out loud, I fell in love and I sat in awe at the drama. I was instantly drawn to Jayne/Janie and her struggles with the life she was living. I wanted to reach into the book and hug her and help her. I wanted to push her aside when I "met" Flynn and his in control/agressive nature. I was instantly drawn to him knowing that he was the bad boy with a heart. Every girls fantasy man. The undeniable sexual tension between the two main characters was amazing. The sub-stories of family history and obligations helped me understand these two lost souls.

I cannot wait for the next book in the series and have moved the author to my "must read everything" list.

Solid 4 star read. The story was different with the h, Jayne being an escort earning money to pay off her dad's gambling debt. During that time, she's hired by Flynn Macquire. Things really start to get crazy at that point. He's a filthy rich playboy and he wants Jayne but she's just in it to make $ and get her dad away from the goons that are holding him until they are paid off. There's a bunch of secrets and twists in this book. I really enjoyed it and couldn't put it down. I wanted to go right into the second book, however I discovered that there is another cliffie in that one. So for now, I will be holding off on book #2 until book #3 is out.

Well! Knocked that one out in less than 24 hours. No easy feat with the kiddos yanking me every direction and work tugging at me non-stop. (Okay, so I might have hidden in the parking garage this morning to finish the last 20 pages. Don't tell.)

If a book makes me hide to finish it, it gets 5 stars. I won't rehash the plot, but I will tell you I enjoyed the writing, the plot and the characters very much. The part I liked best is how comfortable Jayne is with her sexuality. No, she's not particularly keen on the label for what she's doing, but she's the first to admit she likes sex anyway. Gotta love that in a character.

Now to download book 2.

Must Read romance, trust me it's one of those stories that keep you in it's hold with out letting go for any thing. It's well worth the 5stars, the writing style the words and the characters all just flow really great together. I can't wait to read more that's for sure I'm however left waiting to see if their will be more and hoping that I can get my hands on it once it's out It's like a need to find out how things will work out for the characters after the way things were left off.

I received this book for an honest review from Book Enthusiasts.
This isn't your normal romance novel. The characters are not perfect, far from it actually. Jayne is a very strong, determined, independent woman. She's had a hard life. But I did feel bad for her throughout the book. She may have picked her life but it wasn't easy. Flynn gets what he wants and he's decided he wants Jayne. Horrible things happen. The book leaves you with a cliffhanger that will draw you into wanting to read more.

The book was written very well and I definitely need to find out what happens to Jayne, looking forward to reading the next book.

See Jayne Play follows Jayne a high end Las Vegas Escort through the ins and outs of escort life in Las Vegas. This book is filled with sex, money, men, and pure erotic bliss.
Jayne has been brought back to Vegas a place that she tried so hard to leave behind to pay a debt and save her father. While taking on her old life of being an escort Jayne is thrown for a loop when she meets a man that could quite possible change her whole life. This man could offer her power, luxury, and love. But will Jayne play it safe or will she put all her chips on the table and be all in?

WOW! So this book had my pulse racing! I read it in a day and I can still feel my skin vibrating. Jami has written one hell of a strong female character in Jayne. She is a no nonsense bitch. I loved her hard! Flynn is a sex God and a bastard and I gotta tell you when those two get together it's like fire and gasoline... BOOM! From page one I was pulled in and when I finished it was hard to let go! This being my first Jami Denise book I can't imagine not reading anything she writes. I am so excited for book 2 and whatever else this writer has to publish! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

When a tough-as-nails call girl comes into contact with a man who wants her for more than a physical encounter, it completely throws her off kilter.

In See Jayne Play, author Jami Denise writes a super naughty tale set amidst the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas. There's plenty going on beneath the Pretty Woman storyline as noted by the many plot twists. While there is a slight cliffhanger, it serves as a gentle segue into the next book.

The heat level is off the charts with these two passionate characters, making this spicy story quite entertaining.

This was an enjoyable hot quick read that I was able to read start to finish.
This book is pretty action packed that takes off from page 1 - it would be leaving massive spoilers to go into the plot any further than the synopsis.
Jayne and Flynn are well written and their chemistry is palpable.
See Jayne Play is a raw and gritty read that is pretty fast paced. It does end in a cliffhanger although book 2 is now available.
