Release Blitz & Review: Play Me


Now LIVE! 



He’s supposed to be playing rugby—not playing me.

I didn’t think it was possible to hate someone. Like utterly despise another human. Then I was
hired to babysit the Royals’ newest star and found out just how wrong I was.

My job should’ve been easy. Keep the hotshot on time and out of trouble. But that’s hard to do
when I dream of smothering him with his jersey.

Every day delivers a new reason to detest Gray Adler. His truck is the size of a whale, and he
uses the horn like a weapon. And, no, that’s not a euphemism. He can’t manage a sentence
without being rude. And the universe, in its cruelest joke, gave that tattooed, walking red flag the
body of a Greek god.

Just when I finally get used to hating him, things take a turn.

A scalding-hot, mind-blowing I can’t do this with a man I work with sort of turn.

Suddenly, those rough hands make my skin sizzle. His sinful smirks fade into grins just for me.
And our banter shifts into something much more profound than it should.

But Gray Adler is hiding something. And when those secrets collide with my vulnerable heart, I
ask myself an important question. Is he finally telling me the truth, or am I still getting played?

Review


Loved this whole new world by this author!  I am not typically a enemies to lovers trope person but this one worked.  Maybe because these two truly HATED each other!  It was great to see how their friendship evolved. Do you suppose the Brewer family had that in mind when they assigned Astrid to babysit Gray?  

Can I just say that this author writes small town better than anyone.  Most of this story is in the city but when they have to go back to Gray's hometown, we get all the cozy vibes, nosy friends, and romantic settings that small towns are known for. 

Loved this one!  But wait--did I hear their may be more Sugar Creek shenanigans to come?  I hope it's Gray's brother. Looking forward to it. 

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
