About this ebook

Be careful whom you submit to.

Lizzy is trapped. Mannix Bonfils and Theo Valencia have bought The Devilhouse. Her estranged parents keep calling, wanting her to quit college to coach Olympic-level gymnastics, the life she escaped at sixteen. Mannix demands that she give up more and more control, and he becomes rougher, more frightening, with her. Her job is gone. Sports reporters stalk her college dorm, looking for the feel-good homecoming story she dreads. Mannix’s sexual power games grow more disturbing every day, and someone tries to shoot them at The Devilhouse, narrowly missing Lizzy. Even though she wants to stay with Mannix, to grow stronger, to be loved, and to fulfill her commitment, everyone is telling her to get out, but they all seem to want something from her. When Theo offers to help her leave, should she stay with Mannix or go back to the prescribed life she thought she had escaped?

In Lizzy's second book, she's gotten herself into a contract she can't get out of and it's more than she can bear - and she can bear a LOT of pain. Being a former Olympic gymnast who performed in the Beijing summer Olympics, she's trained to take pain. But Mannix is addicted to drugs and loves causing his subs pain. Mannix tricks his half brother Theo - Lizzy's Medium guy - into putting up all the money to buy the Devilhouse from Wulfram and then proceeds to overhaul the entire business plan to something that no one wants (except Mannix of course). All the contractors walk out and the Devilhouse is closed. Theo knows that Mannix is trouble for Lizzy and does everything thing he can think of to get her away from him and not let Mannix know. When Mannix leaves for a business trip, he leaves Lizzy in Theo's care - to be her Dom. His first demand is to put on clothes and get caught up on her classes. He has one week to get her away from Mannix in the next book Breaking Rules.

Nothing can truly describe the way I feel I am in the main character Lizzy's mind other than the author, Blair Babylon put her there. I feel the emotion, the need for both main male characters and feel I need to feel their hands on me. I have never said that before in a review, but WOW! The story line flawlessly moves between the episodes and I wasn't able to put the book down until the last moments. I can't tell too much of the story as if you haven't read the first two episodes, you will have a ruined ending. Blair Babylon's Billionaires in Disguise series was meant for mature readers with a sense of BDSM need and want for release. Lizzy in Episode Two Playing Rough gets what she asks for and more. As she realizes her situation as a sub is not what she planned, she must find a way to break from her former life that has just as roughly shoved its way back into her present life. She is now unsure of her decision but she must now choose, or I should say have the choice be made for her, how her story will play out. Who will save her from herself? Theo or Mannix? I received a complimentary copy for an honest review.

About the author

Blair Babylon is the nom de plume of an award-winning author who regularly publishes literary and suspense fiction. Because professional reviews of her other fiction usually included the caveat that there was too much deviant sex, she decided to abandon all literary pretensions, let her freak flag fly, and write hot, sexy, erotic romance.
