Review:

The Game That Never Ends by David Adamson Harper is a romance that follows Sandy and Alex through several stages of their lives. The two are destined for each other but must face a lot of obstacles including family and friends. The title of the book is totally appropriate because there are a lot of games being played with the main characters' hearts and a lot of manipulation. I didn't really like that part of the story but it wouldn't be the story that it is without all those parts. There is a lot of drama and once again it works because it what makes the story what it is. I liked things about the main characters and disliked things about them as well. I think they were both too gullible a time or two, that being said they were young at the time. I like that love triumphs in the end but boy did it take forever. This is the first book I have read by this author. I would probably read another book by him. I would recommend The Game That Never Ends to those who enjoy romances with a lot of drama.
