Two authors. Obsessed with the idea of love. . .what could possibly go wrong?

Justin Wild says all the perfect lines, but I see through the infamous player. He thinks I'm a game. A pawn to be captured and won. But he couldn't be more wrong.

I see how sick he is, how weak he is. And I'll make him love me if it's the last thing I do.

Some men underestimate the power of the queen because they're too busy playing king. And pity for him, the game’s not over until the king is dead. Love may not be a game, but the chase certainly is.

Checkmate, Justin. Checkmate. . .

Huge hat's off to the author!

Reviewed by Klaire Sutherland for #KFF

I don’t even know where to start with this book, I’m not sure whether I loved or hated it in a…. weird way. I couldn’t put my kindle down; the whole thing was so monumentally screwed up that I had to keep reading. I didn’t get the characters, in fact in retrospect, I didn’t like the characters. Both Justin and Marisa seemed all over the place but the book just had something that pulled me in. There’s every single conceivable romantic cliché you can find in there but it’s done so tongue in cheek, mocking at some points and it’s brilliant. The word satirical sprang to mind a lot of the time. Yet romantic comedy it is not. Love story it most definitely is in a very convoluted kind of way.

There were many connotations to things that may or may not have happened within our lovely book world, but with an author/book themed plot I’d expect that, and I think Stevie J Cole has pegged it beautifully. Loved the co-author/self-author reference, I always find these little references humorous. I’m not sure I would have categorised it as ‘Romantic Suspense’, however I’m struggling a little to think of the niche it belongs to. The book cover is an anomaly for me, I can’t quite fit the image with the books’ theme and while striking, that’s about it for me.

The story was like bouncing on a Pogo stick, up and down, up and down, yet wasn’t too hard to keep up with the plot. The author gives all the history on Marisa you need in the first chapter, there’s no hiding and the she does this throughout, doesn’t keep you guessing, lets the reader know exactly what’s going on. I liked the frankness in all honesty. There’s certainly plenty of questions to be asked, it isn’t a case of make the reader feel dumb by telling them everything. I had some thoughts to what might come further in the book and I have to admit I was way off track with those assumptions. But I liked being proved wrong.

You see trouble with a capital in Chapter 2, almost immediately you know you’re in for one hell of a messed up ride. This cannot end well surely? You have Justin who hit big time with a book he wrote about his past, he seems to be riding off the coat tails of that success. I’m thinking he’s just looking for a good time, for the chase, bedding and treating women however he likes. Justin is extremely shallow but underneath all his cocky bravado you find a scared little boy really. I’d like to say it’s quite endearing but I didn’t catch that emotion whatsoever. He meets Marisa, who I have to say is absolutely deluded. I mean the woman is a nutcase in a very unassuming way, which is dangerous. Very dangerous. Marisa wants the story book ending and will stop at nothing to achieve it. Maybe there was something I liked about Marisa – her no nonsense, matter of fact attitude often coupled with her humour, made for some fun moments. By Chapter 8 you’re getting a feel for what the characters are about.

“I miss you.”

For a dual POV I found a fair bit of Justin’s story missing, you don’t ever really get the details about his ex-girlfriend and his past as blatantly as you do Marisa’s. His signature line; “I miss you,” loses all meaning by the time you get half way through the book. I fear every time I hear those word, Justin Wild will enter my head. Thank you very much dear author!

I found little finesse within any of the intimate scenes, actually there’s no finesse in any of Justin and Marisa’s relationship. There’s an odd moment here and there, never coming across as truly romantic however. That’s fine, the style absolutely suits the book. The author has such a rudimentary way of describing the little things;

“…the heat radiates up from the asphalt in squiggly waves…”

What’s not to love about the simplistic nature of that type of descriptive narrative? The book doesn’t read like a tangled mess of analogies; doesn’t sound like it’s trying to be clever despite the fact that it most certainly is. Don’t get me wrong, the writing is top notch; easy to read and didn’t confuse my head too much with over complicated sentences or words. It works, works beautifully.

For those readers that are a little worried that perhaps this is going to be a dark read, I’d like to put your mind at ease. There are some questionable parts to it but in my opinion I’d say you were looking at a grey in terms of the dark factor. Most definitely suitable for those who like to keep their breakfast or dinner down.

A huge hat’s off to the author. If you can make me dislike your characters but absolutely love your book, then you have me! I do believe that this lives up to my favourite book from this author. I can’t award this anything other than the five stars it utterly deserves.

Kindle Friends Forever reviewer Klaire recommends this read – with a side of snark.

... i was thinking it was going to be an uber romantic love story

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 March 2017

When i heard about this book i have to be honest i was thinking it was going to be an uber romantic love story... two romance authors... Physical attraction... They both know the words... They both know what it takes to get the happy ending... Lovely... right? bahahahahahahahahahahahahaha OH Dear dear me. #HavingFunWithJustin

Ok not sure where to start.

As i said it's a story of two romance authors. We all read the books. Most of us have attended a signing. Always wondering what goes on when the authors are left alone. Or with their fans. This book is darkly hilarious in that it taps into what you think happens and magnifies it by 20 gazillion!!

Author 1 Justin.

Justin, is a number 1 bestseller. His first series goes straight to the top. He's on the top of his game. Female fans are tripping over their paperbacks to get a piece of him. Of course he obliges!! Who wouldn't in his position. I love how he's blissfully unaware of what will happen when he meets the one who says no. The one who doesn't fall into his bed. The one that has his life mapped out. What will happen?

Author 2 Marissa.

Ok... crazy fangirl turned the ultimate stalker! Reading Justin's books she reads and rereads over and over and over. Follows every social networking site he's on. She knows him before she meets him. She decides she will try and become an author too so she can get closer to him. She will have him. He will be her King. She will be his Queen. She's going to make sure of it!

From here it turns effin caaaarrraaazeeeee!!!

I won't give spoilers but damn does this book take you on a ride!! It builds and builds and builds and then.... JAZZ HANDS!!! lolololol when you read it you'll understand the emoji. It's the world we are all in. It's the world we all want to know about. Is it really like this? *insert shocked face* I'm really hoping it is!!

There's massive chemistry between Justin and Marissa they're drawn together like magnets. Even though she kind of writes the script of their lives, Justin is powerless to resist and in an odd way he's right there with her.

It's really difficult to review without the spoilers but please trust me when i say this is darkly enjoyable. Funny when it's so so wrong. And also HOT! Yes hot! In among the crazy there really is love... i think?!?!

Honestly completely utterly nuts and i freaking loved it!

As with all of Stevie's books it's extremely well written and put together. The plot keeps you guessing where in the hell it's going to go. Will they get the HEA? Will they both end up in straight jackets? Who will be caught up in the crossfire? Where will it end? I love this in a book. I never knew what was coming or when. Just wonderful.

Original story line I've never come across before and in an alternate universe it's almost fan fiction. Highly highly recommend! I can't wait for the next signing I'm going to be keeping my eyes peeled as to author goings on!

Freakishly Fun and Twisted.

OMG!!!!
This story it's absolutely crazy and twisted but bloody hilarious at the same time. I swear I laughed so loud at parts of this book. I may need an intervention of some kind.

Talk about a crazy Ass biach, Marisa has no limits and she will stop at nothing to get what she wants.
The ultimate bunny boiler. But I did like her crazy ways.

Justin Wild is a player he has a revolving door on his bedroom one in one out. He never commits after having his heart broken in the past.
To be honest women fall at his feet he's a successful Author and he's making the most of it. He's drop dead gorgeous too.
He doesn't have to chase women so when one particular gorgeous Brunette plays hard to get it's game on. But at what cost?

Marissa read Justins books and became his No 1 fan. She's like a really sexy psychotic version of Annie Wilkes in Misery, and Justin has become her obsession. He belongs to her, she just needs to lure him in first.

This book was a great read, very cleverly done, full of Dark humour and twisted obsession. I couldn't put it down. I'm sure you won't either.

In der Regel sind es Männer die zerstören, aber hierbei ist es zutiefst verstörte Frau die Justin s Welt auf den Kopf stellt….
Mir persönlich war dieser Roman zu langatmig…… viele Wörter aber keine Spannung……
Geschrieben hat SJ Cole das Buch einwandfrei, an dem gib’s nichts zu rütteln, aber mir gefiel die Geschichte nicht…….

5 STARS!!! SO DANG GOOD!!

Reviewed in the United States on 7 April 2017

Holy Cannoli... where do I start!!! First off I'm kicking myself for not picking up a Stevie J Cole book sooner!! What the hell took me so long??!!! I have no clue!!! I'm convinced she writes just to please my black heart!! I am seriously wondering where she's been all my life???!!! I will be forever faithful and cannot wait to go back and read some of Ms Cole's other books I've missed! White Pawn was so crazy good. It's every deep dark secret fantasy you ever had come to life! It was just plain CRAZY! But holy cow I loved every second of it! Marissa was straight off the crazy train but there is a little crazy in all of us when we fall in love and Marissa just did what everyone fantasizes about.

Marissa fell in love with Justin Wild the minute she read his books. She made it her mission to have him fall in love with her. He just didn't know it yet. She would put a plan in motion that would bring their paths together and there was no way he wasn't going to love her. She knew his type, what he liked, want he didn't like. She would be perfect for him.

One little problem, he was the biggest player out there. Justin Wild wasn't just a best selling author with looks to kill for but he was known as the biggest playboy in the book world. When he met Marissa he instantly feel for her. She was perfect. It was like they were made for each other as they liked the same things, the same music, the same books. They start a romance and things go from hot to heavy fast and holy hotness! It's HOT!

But what happens when flings from the past come back looking for more good times with Justin. Will Marissa be able to tame the beast that is Justin Wild or is the beast within her own mind? Jealousy is an evil wench and to what lengths ill Marissa go to keep Justin to herself. You need to read White Pawn to find out!! A little side note. There were several things in the book that made me think, did this actually happen in real life?? There were some scenarios that I was like I so remember hearing about something like this... it made me stop and think how much is reality and how much is fiction????
