Wolff’s Play Me series centers on the love story between Aria Winston, a cocktail waitress at one of Vegas’ hottest five-star casinos and Sebastian Caine, the casino owner’s son and handpicked successor. It is an erotic romance series intended for mature audiences.

Play Me Wild

In the seductive first installment of an eBook original serial from the New York Times bestselling author of Ruined andAddicted, a woman running from her past has finally found a bit of control . . . until her powerful new boss makes her go wild.

My name is Aria Winston. I’ve fought desperately to escape the seedy underbelly of Las Vegas. Now I’m on my own, in control of my own life and my own destiny . . . just the way I like it. Until Sebastian Caine changes everything.


Working as a cocktail waitress at one of Vegas’s hottest five-star casinos means putting up with a ton of bad behavior from the big spenders. But it pays the bills—and that’s all that matters to Aria, who needs every last dollar to escape from her father’s destructive grasp and the brutal man he expects her to marry. But when she lashes out against a billionaire who won’t take no for an answer, she nearly loses everything—until Sebastian steps in.


The owner’s son and handpicked successor, Sebastian is dark, sexy, and kinder than any rich man should be. And when he apologizes and offers to keep her job safe, Aria can’t help the way her body reacts to his. Suddenly her job, and the security it brings her, isn’t the only thing Aria wants.

My Review 
4 Great Start to a Series Stars

Play Me Wild is book #1 in the 5 part Play me series. I've read a couple of this author's books before so I was super excited to be gifted all 5 books in this series in exchange for honest reviews so here goes....

Play me wild introduces Aria, she's definitely an interesting character. I love the air of mystery she has going on. We really only scratch the surface of her character and I can't wait to dig a little deeper and reveal all of the secrets that are hinted at.

Why is she hiding so much and why the fake last name?????

OMG is Sebastian gonna be a Dom??? I really hope so cause he's definitely giving off an alpha vibe!!

Whewwww talk about sexual chemistry I was waiting for them to explode and just start ripping each other's clothes off!!!

This is a fab intro to the series I'm hooked and I'm going straight on to book 2 to find out what happens next!!!

This little intriguing nugget has whetted my appetite and gets 4 stars from me!





Play Me Hot

Return to a world of secrets and desires. In the sultry second installment of an eBook original serial from the New York Times bestselling author of Ruined and Addicted, Aria and Sebastian turn up the heat. But will they get burned?

My name is Aria Winston. I’ve fought desperately to escape the seedy underbelly of Las Vegas. Now I’m on my own, in control of my own life and my own destiny . . . just the way I like it. Until Sebastian Caine changes everything.


If getting tangled up with her new boss is wrong, Aria doesn’t want to be right. Powerful men usually have a way of thinking they can take whatever they want while giving nothing back, but Sebastian is different. He’s gentle with her body. Rough in all the right places. And hot enough to make Aria break every last rule she’s set for herself. But with her history, it’ll take more than mind-blowing sex to heal the pain deep inside . . . no matter how good Sebastian’s intentions are. She’s spent her entire life fighting for control of her own life, and no one’s going to take that from her. But the more time she spends in Sebastian’s world, the deeper she’s drawn into his sensual games.


Play Me is an erotic serial intended for mature audiences. Aria and Sebastian’s story continues in Play Me: Hard.




My Review 
4.5 Smoking Hot Stars

Play Me Hot is book #2 in the Play Me Series.

Bloody Hell!!!!!!

I feel like I need to take a minute to cool off lol this book is basically just one long sex scene!!!!

I honestly don’t think I’ve ever read such an intense sex scene in my entire life!!!

Thank the lord Sebastian is a Dom and flaming hell is he good at it!!! I love the fact that it’s not your average punishment/pleasure sexual exchange. Since FSOG everyone and their mothers uncle has jumped on the BDSM book bandwagon and doms of every colour have come out of the woodworks.

Sebastian is definitely a Dom but he’s different, perhaps it’s the intensity or maybe it’s just the way he went about seducing Aria but for some reason it all felt very intimate.

This book will make you either need to take a cold shower or go jump your husband because it’s honestly hot as hell!!!

Every move, every touch, every thought Sebastian has is on Aria. As a reader I felt like I was a voyeur, watching this insane sexual marathon.

I really kind of fell in love with Sebastian during this instalment, don’t get me wrong he’s a kinky little bastard but I also felt the connection he felt to Aria.

Hmmmm now Aria one of those secrets was revealed, her relationship with Carlos is definitely something that’s going to rear its head again I can tell.

Loved this short but sexy as hell I’m going straight onto book #3 now I’ve gone from intrigued to full blown NEED to know what’s gonna happen next!!!


Play me Hot gets 4.5 stars from me!!




Play Me Hard

No one ever said love is easy. In the third installment of an eBook original serial from the New York Times bestselling author of Ruined and Addicted, Aria and Sebastian discover that building trust might be harder than they ever imagined.

My name is Aria Winston. I’ve fought desperately to escape the seedy underbelly of Las Vegas. Now I’m on my own, in control of my own life and my own destiny . . . just the way I like it. Until Sebastian Caine changes everything.


Ever since taking Aria under his wing and into his seductive domain, Sebastian hasn’t been able to think straight. Their chemistry is intoxicating. Their power exchange is exhilarating. And the sex leaves them both absolutely exhausted. But if there’s one thing Sebastian does know, it’s that he needs to protect this strong yet vulnerable woman. Because she has depths that are unknown—even to her. Aria has worked hard to establish herself as anything but submissive. That isn’t who she is, or who she wants to be. So why does it feel so sweet to give up control . . . and so intense when Sebastian takes care of needs she doesn’t even realize she has? But he has needs of his own—and secrets that run just as dark and deep as Aria’s.


Play Me is an erotic serial intended for mature audiences. Aria and Sebastian’s story continues in Play Me: Real.


My Review 
4.5 Intriguing Stars

Play Me Hard is book #3 in the Play Me Series

Flaming hell intrigue, intrigue, intrigue.

This is the third book and the third time I have finished a story going ‘Oh My God!!!’
Who the hell is Aria’s dad I have a theory but I’m not sure yet I can’t wait to see if I’m right!!!

Who’s Janet!!!!

I love that Sebastian is turning out to be a really lovely bloke!! He seems to be really smitten and I love that he keeps throwing Aria with his care and attention.

I’m going to be honest when he goes all alpha I do tend to swoon ever so slightly because serious he is a bit of a god!!! A total headfuck but also a bit of a god lol.

I’m absolutely loving this series so far, the sexual connection between Aria and Sebastian continues to smoulder but there’s also a good back story that has me as intrigued as the sex!!!

Talk about an ending I was like a fish my mouth was hanging open!!!

This instalment has left so many unanswered questions even if I hated the series I would have to carry on reading!! Well played Tracy Wolff, well played!!!

I can’t wait to find out what’s going to happen next so straight onto book #4 for me.


Play me Hard gets 4.5 stars from me!



Play Me Real

How do you know when something’s real? In the steamy fourth installment of an eBook original serial from the New York Times bestselling author of Ruined and Addicted, a devastating betrayal unravels a fierce yet tender connection.

My name is Aria Winston. I’ve fought desperately to escape the seedy underbelly of Las Vegas. Now I’m on my own, in control of my own life and my own destiny . . . just the way I like it. Until Sebastian Caine changes everything.


Aria has learned to play Sebastian’s game. She’s given him control, taken it back, and let him push her farther than she ever imagined she could go. But when Sebastian’s past comes to light, Aria receives a glimpse behind the facade—a revelation that disturbs her even as it makes her feel closer to this simmering, complicated man. Finally she comes to understand the real reason why Sebastian feels the need to dominate everything in his path. But Aria has a tortured history, too. And together they’re a dangerous combination. Now she’s the one pushing Sebastian to the breaking point . . . and if one of them burns up, they’ll both go down together.


Play Me is an erotic serial intended for mature audiences. Aria and Sebastian’s story concludes in Play Me: Right.


My Review 
3.5 Hmmm Stars

Play me real is book #4 in the play me series.

Hmmmm so that answers who Janet is!!! 

I do feel sorry for Sebastian but I don't like the way he deals with it by messing with Aria.

Now the million dollar question is how does Aria’s family all fit into this????

I'm going to be honest and say this is my least favourite of the series so far.

Sebastian totally mindfucks with Aria and it wasn't sexy it was just a bit mean!!

I feel like although they still had the physical connection this instalment seriously dented the emotional connection.

I really have no idea how they are going to wrap up the story with only one short instalment to go!!!

I'm absolutely desperate to figure out Aria and what happened to her!!!

Regardless I'm still totally hooked and moving straight on to part #5.

Play me real gets 3.5 stars from me






Play Me Right

Good things never have to end. Tracy Wolff, the New York Times bestselling author of Ruined and Addicted, brings her eBook original serial to an unforgettable climax in Play Me’s sensational finale . . . for now.

My name is Aria Winston. I’ve fought desperately to escape the seedy underbelly of Las Vegas. Now I’m in control of my own life and my own destiny . . . but my future belongs to Sebastian Caine.


Technically, Aria may still be in one piece, but she’s feeling pretty damn close to broken. While she knows Sebastian would die before hurting her, their intense, steamy encounters have opened up old wounds in them both. Now Aria is considering the unthinkable: walking away again—this time to save Sebastian from the pain she knows her past will cause him. But Sebastian’s the one who set her free in the first place—how can she not show him the same care and compassion? Because, in the end, being together forever is the only thing that feels right.


Play Me is an erotic serial intended for mature audiences.


My Review 
3.5 Wheres the Asskicking Stars


Play me right is book #5 in the play me series.

I'm not sure how I was expecting this series to tie all the loose ends up. But I was expecting some kind of resolution. I'm a little disappointed.

I feel like I've been left with this big gaping hole of unresolvedness!!!

So now we know who Aria actually is, I don't think it will be a surprise to anyone really. But Sebastian talks a big game at the end and I for one needed to see a bit of follow through!!!

This series has a bit of a crossover with Ethan Frost and Chloe from Tracy Wolff’s Ethan Frost series and I'm assuming that a full resolution and thorough asskicking of the bad guys will be in the latest book in that series exposed.

I can't help feeling like the last two instalments were written in a different mindset to the first three. Books 1-3 explored a different interpretation of the Dom/sub relationship. Aria and Sebastian's connection whilst very sexual was also intensely emotive and personal. 

In the last two books I just felt like it lapsed into that typical tie me up and fuck me stereotype. I missed the intensity and almost voyeuristic qualities.

Play me right gets 3.5 stars.
