This is definitely becoming one of my all time favorite Series. I love Kylie Scott's writing style. Her books just flow effortlessly and are fairly quick reads, but you don't miss anything. She for sure doesn't drag anything out, which I love. Her books are just the right mix of romance and drama. Yes she has some issues for her characters to overcome, but I love that the resolutions are quick and don't drag out the story. She also has a knack for creating musicians that are so yummy!!!! They are just the right mixture of Alpha and sweet. Play is the second book in the Stage Dive Series and I thought it was just as great as Lick (Book 1). I loved this story for different reasons then book 1. This book had me laughing out loud so many times, but I also swooned and got angry at times too. I love how Kylie's stories get right to the point. Each of her books jump right into the story without the drawn out back story. Don't get me wrong we also get the character development and storyline development, but she does a great job at spreading it out over the course of the book.Play is about Mal (Malcolm..the drummer) and Anne. We met Mal in Lick and I completely fell in love with him in that book, but this book just made my love for him grow even more. Malcolm is one of those characters you have a hard time taking seriously and that some people might find annoying, but i found him completely endearing. He was goofy, but he was also loyal and truly wore his heart on his sleeve. Now he also had somewhat of a temper and when things didn't go his way he had a habit of running. He didn't like to open himself up to anyone. It was great seeing him change throughout the book, in thanks to Anne. Anne was also a great character....yes I thought she was kind of a doormat through the book....she really let people take advantage of her kind heart. She also had a hard time trusting people and believing in love, all because of her mom and the past. To say she was shy and reserved would be an understatement. It was great watching her open up, in thanks to Mal. He really showed her how to let loose and not to take things so seriously. These two really were opposites attract and boy could they heat up the sheets (or break a bed ;) )So if you are looking for a musician based love story that is funny, sweet and not overwrought with unnecessary drama, then this is the book for you. I would definitely recommend this book/series to everyone.
