Synopsis.
Annabelle Tucker is still reeling from last season’s Endurance Island, when the man she loved played her for a fool. When producers ask her back for a new season it’s the last thing she’s interested in…until she hears her ex, the gorgeous but duplicitous Kip, will be there. Revenge and a grand prize? Yes, please!
But someone’s there to throw a kink into her plans. Someone tall and cut, and with the sexiest gray eyes. Jendan Abercrombie’s on an opposing team, but it doesn’t mean that Annabelle can’t lust after him, right? She’ll just have to save all that lusting for post-show, when she’s free to follow where her loins lead.
When a tribal twist puts them both on the same team – naked – will Annabelle be able to resist his very apparent charms? Or will she have to vote Jendan out to save her game?
SJ's Review.
Firstly I just wanted to say I never realised this book was part of a series when I was asked to review. When I started reading it I had a quick peak on Goodreads and realised it was part of the 'Games' series BUT you don't have to have had read books 1-4 as each book is about different people/shows.
Annabelle returns to Endurance Island for a second time hoping to set the record straight about herself. Having been on a previous series and having fallen in love with Kip only to be shown as the shows Whore of the series. That hurts, but what hurts more is realising that Kip was just playing the game, he was making her feel 'loved' so he knew he had her vote when he got to the finale. This time Annabella has a few conditions and being on the oposite team to Kip is a big condition for her. When he arrives on the island and the teams are picked it pretty obvious who Annabelle is going to end up with. Everyone is couple off and sent to thir seperate camps. It doesn't take Kip long before he thinks he can rekindle what himself and Annabelle had last time. Does he really think she will fall for that again? Seriously!
Kip is an arsehole. A complete arsehole. He sits around all day expecting Annabella to do all the work, never once offering his help. He seems to think he is the strongest person in the Challenges they are given daily but what he doesn't know is Annabelle isn't trying.
Jendan is a hottie who happens to have caught the eye of Annabella but Annabelle has told herself she will not be the show Whore again she is it in to win it nomatter what she has to do to win. Im sure Annabelle will not think twice about throwing anyone under the bus if it gets in her way of winning the prize money and her reputation back. When Annabella realises Jendan is living on the same island as her and Kip this changes everything, when he is around her lady bits come to life. How long can these two resist temptation? Both are highly attracted to one another and its a spark they are trying to hide so the cameras don't paint her out in a bad light again.
When Annabella finally finds her out to get Kip out of the show. She is overjoyed. That is until the TWIST comes and bites her on the arse. The show are switching up the teams and changing round the couples. With her pandora card in hand, Annabella isn't happy when she is paired with Jendan, nothing against Jendan but she is attracted to him, naked and is torn on wheather she would now use her Pandora word if they were up for eviction. She's in it to win it after all.
Just remember there is nothing worse than a women scorn. Annabella had to leave college after her first appearance on the show as she was constantly being picked on and bullied because of what happened between herself & Kip.
Will Annabella get her revenge on Kip?
Who will be the winner of Edurance Island - Power Couple?
Will Annabelle and Jendan hit it off outside of the island?
Or will Jendan do the same as what Kip did and fuck her and leave?
Only time will tell.
I loved this story. The characters were all likeable, even Kip in a funny way. The end of the book showed he was a decent guy. Even though I have read this one I am now thinking about going back and reading the first 4 books in the series. I enjoyed the way Jessica(Jill) wrote. The full 5 stars from me on this one, stayed tuned for review on future books by this author I have a feeling you maybe seeing a lot of her in the future.

A NOTE ABOUT FRIENDING: I will happily friend you back if you friend me! Goodreads is, after all, about discussing books we both love. I will NEVER self-promote my books to you. And if you self-promote your books to me, no matter how nicely, I'm deleting you off my list. Sorry. Goodreads is about fun, not spam.
A NOTE ABOUT MY REVIEWS: Hey, look at that! Most of my reviews are really positive! This is not me kissing ass - It's because at heart, I am a lazy reader. If I'm not enjoying a book, I don't finish it. I don't review anything I didn't finish, ergo, most of the reviews I put up here are pretty much positive across the board because I finished them and was happy with the story. Makes sense, right?
