The Long Game - J.L. Fynn

Book Name: The Long Game
Book Genre: NA Contemporary

Book release date: October 7, 2013
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.
