I have had the privilege of reading / listening to the audiobook versions of several titles by Elaine Raco Chase.  Her romances are spicy, with banter and dialogue that is realistic, female protagonists that are strong and often confident without being brash or showboating.  This title is no different: in Rules of the Game we meet Samantha, an independent attorney with a penchant for chocolate and a no-nonsense ability to bully, cajole and sweet talk those in the Wounded Warrior project to do her bidding.When she meets Adam, a friend of her boss, the rich, urbane and often abrupt ex-marine instantly sparks her interest, even as she is pulling away.  Utterly enchanted and wanting to react with his go-to alpha tendencies, Adam is both confused and confounded when she doesn't react as he expects.Elaine Raco Chase then sets the story for multiple encounters and conversations, with sexual tension being predominant, when you aren't chuckling over the banter between the two.  Or melting when she scenes snowball to ramp up the steam quotient, for there is steam heat here in these pages.These are light, fun romances: you know what you will get with one of Elaine's books, and you will enjoy every moment of the journey getting to the end.  And you will revel in the dialogue, so real that you could overhear it from your seat in the restaurant, and lean just a tiny bit closer to not miss a word.  Enjoy this book; it will entertain you on an otherwise quiet afternoon.I purchased a copy of this title for my own library. I was not compensated for this review: all conclusions are my own responsibility.
