Review of Games: A Love Story by Anna Maria Volkova

Haunted by the ghosts of her parents, Lili Marwan strives to be nothing but the best. She lets no one close to her, fighting hard to never allow herself to feel that loss again until Aleksandr walks into her life with his awful zodiac birth chart.

He takes her by surprise, her complete opposite in every way and matches her quick wit and intellect at every turn. Something about him is completely irresistible and no matter how hard she tries, Lili finds herself drawn back time and again into his orbit.

But things aren’t easy when unresolved trauma from her past hits her like a brick. Ambition, pain and insatiable desire paint her life, swirling like a mix of colours upon an artist’s palette as Lili struggles to understand her life and how she can balance it all and Aleksandr. Will she risk the precise control she has over her life for a man nearly double her age? Or will she find happiness with the friends around her who care deeply for her?
