LOVE TRUMPS GAME by D.Y. Phillips shows just how spoiled Neema is. If she asks her mother to babysit her children while she goes to a job interview, it might be more than a week later when she returns. Her mother wants to say “NO!”, but Neema will just wait until her mother is busy doing something else and run out of the house, leaving the children. Her lover, Topps Jackson, a drug dealer, a homicidal maniac, is cruel – mentally and physically – to Neema, but she sticks with him. He has money, a house and her two children are his. What Neema doesn’t realize is that Topps tracks her everywhere she goes. He uses her to deliver his drug.

Topps comes to Neema’s mother’s house, to pick up his children, but Hattie says no and she means it. She has an iron security door and she won’t open it for him. He leaves, threatening her. Hattie is getting a bit worried about Neema because she hasn’t seen her in a while but she still isn’t giving this thug those children. Where is Neema? What will Topps do to get his children back? Hattie finds herself and the children on the run, staying with relatives and friends, knowing Topps will eventually find her. Will she and the children survive?

D.Y. Phillips has written a true page-turner and it would be wonderful to have the time to read it in one sitting. The drama goes on and on and the tension builds. The characters are so well developed that you find yourself telling them not to do what you know they are getting ready to do. If you like mystery and drama, then this is the book for you. I would recommend it to everybody.
