Skin Game by Ava Gray- 5 Smokin Smooches!!!!
15 Nov, 2009 in 5 Star Reviews, Paranormal Romance 16 Comments
Oh me, Oh my! If I could sum up this book in one word or less I would have to say sizz-a-leeeen. By page 24 I was saying “holla”! Reyes and Kyra are knockin’ boots and we are not even a quarter of the way through the book. This book is so freaking good I had to use the f-word for extra emphasis. Every once in-awhile a book comes into my hands, that literally blows my socks off. This doesn’t seem to happen often these days but Skin Game is one of those top notch 5 star books. I have to thank Mandi from Smeybooks for introducing me Ann Aguirre aka Ava Gray.
I was so intrigued by Gray’s introduction of Addison Foster. Not to steal Kyra and Reye’s thunder but I couldn’t help but want to read more about him. All I have to say is I can’t WAIT for Addison Foster’s book so stay tuned for Skin Tight!
Kyra is a con-artist with a rather interesting ability to take on the skills and abilities of those that she touches. Reyes is a {super hot} mercenary assassin been hired to find out where Kyra hid the cash—and bring her back to face Serrano’s “justice.” Dead will do, if he can’t locate the loot. He’s never failed to complete a contract, but Kyra tempts him with her fierce heat and her outlaw heart.
Pg23 She felt him cover her entirely, weighing her. Claiming her. He bit down on the back of her neck, hard enough to hurt. She’d wear his mark for days , and that idea pushed her over the edge…
In the spirit of Kyra’s ability to con just about any badass, beer-for-my horses’, pool shark; I ask, if you could have pulled off a tricksey con, what would you do and how would you pull it off?

I loved this book because both h/h were hot. I can’t wait to see what she does with Foster…her excerpt on her site has me starting to fall for him
Gah- I want this book!!!! I love it when the lovin’ starts early on and you don’t have to wait until the last 10 pages of the book!
I see you’re reading The Wicked West – Victoria Dahl is one of my new favorite authors.(I put a review of one of her books up today)
@Mandi I nearly died when Ann posted an excerpt of Skin Tight last week on twitter.
@Patti You will not be Disappointed!!! Ann Aguiree/Ava Gray is one of my favorite authors I’ve read this year
I had no idea that this was Ann Aguirre… her books are in my TBR pile, as is this!
@Tiffany I’m not sure why she choose to write as Ava Gray, but I’ll buy anything she writes no matter what name she is using
Love your smokin smooches rating
Kyra and Reyes sure do make an interesting couple.
@katiebabs I want to have fantasy babies with Reyes.
Boots knockin by page 24?!! That’s my kind of book. I am going to have to get this book soon!
I agree, loved the book. Can’t wait to get the next one!
K.C.! Girl, while you never fail to make me smile your “sizz-a-leeeen” nearly had me spitting soda out through my nose!
I picked up this book too after reading Mandi’s review and now I’m wishing I hadn’t committed myself to other reads casue I’m DYING for some skin!!
Thanks for the awesome review!
Hugs, VFG
@TheBookVixen OMG you will love this book, Ann writes hot scenes without being too graphic. The sexual tension just sizzles off the pages.
@SusiSunshine Foster is such an intriguing character, I’m already marking down my calender for Skin Tight.
@VampFanGirl No peer pressure or anything, {wicked smile}seriously put down your other books and read Skin Game! It’s really not that long so you’ll be finished like that *Snaps finders*
A tricksy con? I have no clue! I’m a crappy criminal apparently.
You know how I feel about Skin Game though. One of the best books I’ve read this year. I guess I need to swing over and read the excerpt of Skin Tight for motivation to love Foster. 
@FV I think I like boys with “issues” and Foster definitely has “issues” – one day you think he is bad, another good. I like that he keeps me on my toes.
That tiny quote made me all hot and bothered again
Let me tell ya that when I read the excerpt of Foster’s book my inner kitten was purring in delight. You think we smutty gals can have a one on one with Foster??
@Leontine I want to play spin the bottle with Foster, he bring out my inner teenage crush like no other.
