Devil's Pawn had a good potential, however, the story's premise didn't sit well with me. Ashton's story has its merits but I'd like to point out some discrepancy on Derek's ( hero) motives. Derek comes from a very wealthy and influential family, he's well established, wealthy and a very well known Architect...he is so wealthy he's able to pay up over five and half million dollars debt and cough up another five million to set Ashton up so that she would be free and able to live very comfortably (with five million, heck I would be!). I'm not convinced Why Derek would give up his prestigious status and very famous profession to keep Grayson quiet and not release the so called compromising video tape of his sister? I find it hard to believe gave up his very successful prestigious practice and work for Grayson in a gaming hell and whorehouse and allow himself be a pawn in his cruel games, why? Grayson is just a tiny little speck of dirt compared to Derek and his family's influential place in society, surely with their influence, wealth and power will put them in the circle of most feared and powerful people that they can wipe out and destroy pond scum Grayson and have him be the one fearing for his own safety instead. To say the reason is for fear of scandal is incredulous! Please say it isn't so, he's already created enough scandal himself working in a gaming hell and a whorehouse that resulted in not speaking to his parents. For Derek to give up his dreams, his own successful business empire he worked so hard for, pay Grayson his ransom demands for the video which he did not even get back, work for him and be constantly taunted and challenged and demeaned by him sounds absurd isn't it?. it kind of bothered me that he just walked out of there, just like that and never be heard of! what happened to his fear for his sister impending video scandal? It's a little inconsistent, it couldn't have been over since he was still working there up until then... one thing sure you'll enjoy though is their strong chemistry and attraction to each other and their sex scenes are hot you'd be blushing down to your toes! yo momma! :)
