The Long Game book blurb: Smooth
talking. Ambitious. Loyal. Twenty-year-old Shay Reilly has proven himself to
his Irish-American Gypsy clan on small-scale cons, but now the clan leader has
a bigger mission for him: playing the long game.
To rake in the big score he’s after, he needs to con co-ed Spencer into falling in love with him. He knows he should see Spencer as a mere means to an end, but that’s easier said than done when there’s a witty, attractive girl in your arms.
Now the only thing that can keep them apart is the thing that brought them together: Shay’s plans of revenge against someone who wronged his clan and family years before—Spencer’s father

First thoughts after....
Wow, I'm ready for the next.....
How Distracted did I get?
The Long Game is an interesting tale that is slow to start but once it takes off, you should hold on to your hat. Shay lives differently than most of his people. He's educated and has his mark. He's interesting to read and I enjoyed learning who he was through the story. I would love to see some of Spencers POV. The Long Game is a quick read that will keep you on the edge of your seat til the end and then some.
I give The Long Game.....

Excerpt
The girl behind the register grinned, taken by my
brother’s charm. “Well, I’m sure glad y’all came in.” She batted lashes almost
too pale to see.
I fought the smile pulling at the corner of my
mouth. Most Traveler men had their fathers or uncles to show them the ropes. I
really only had my older brother, but he’d been enough. Jimmy Boy could piss on
your leg, tell you it was raining, and then sell you a broken umbrella. And
he’d taught me everything I knew.
“I’m glad you’re glad,” Jimmy Boy said. He leaned in
further, his elbow inching across the counter so his face moved closer to hers.
She blushed and dropped her eyes, and I saw my
opening.
“All right, lover boy, move it so I can pay, and we
can stop wasting this girl’s time.” I nudged him aside with my hip and shoulder
as I pulled a ten from my wallet and handed it to her. Her eyes only flickered
to me for a second as the money moved from my hand to hers. So far, so good.
The blonde watched Jimmy Boy through lowered lashes
as she counted out my change. A five and three ones. It couldn’t have worked
out better if she’d been in on the scam.
