Just as they are leaving the club, Spinks appears and stops her from falling.  Brooke is frozen in place, he is right in front of her and she can't move, she can't scream, she can't fight.Ms. Devon I so applaud you for this amazing, suspenseful read that had me enthralled from the beginning to the very end.  I am a sucker for bodyguards that act all alpha male but underneath everything they show so many emotions.  Now as for Brooke, I loved how determined she was, how brave but most of all I love how she did not back down on what she felt for Cam.  I loved how she was done waiting she was done being a victim she wanted to be free.  Now as for Spinks I could not believe how his mind worked how he rationalized his obsession with Brooke, his obsession with her being his muse.  In some of Brooke's telling of what happened to her I felt sick for what she went through the torture the thought of never being able to be free.  The characters in this story were well developed.  The chemistry between Cam and Brooke is hot, steamy when Cam finally touches her it's with so much care so erotic so sizzling.  This is my first read by Ms. Devon and I have to say it will not be my last, her writing style is perfect, to the point and the pace is perfect.If you like a romance with a suspenseful twist The Waiting Game is for you.  Read the journey that Brooke goes through in order to have her freedom to love someone and finally feel safe.
