3.5 StarsCould you imagine even meeting the hot man who's face used to cover your walls when you were a teenager?! On top of that, could you imagine being his 'fake' girlfriend and getting to make out with him?! Nope..me neither but lucky Anne got to do just that with the hot drummer, Mal in Play. Just as Anne finds herself extremely down on her luck she gets invited to a party at none other than her old neighbors new apartment, yup..it was at Eve and David's new apartment! It's the perfect time for her spirits to be lifted by the ever hilarious Mal.I really enjoyed the first book in the series and couldn't wait to read Mal's story. I didn't expect Mal to be so freaking hilarious but his text messages and his general attitude towards everyone had me cracking up at numerous points in the book. I really liked Anne, she is super grounded but finds herself to have the worst luck ever. She's spent her life basically raising herself and her younger sister and Mal is exactly what she needed in her life. He brought humor into her serious life and taught her to be silly.Although I thought Mal was hilarious and I enjoyed the banter between the two of them, I didn't enjoy the story as much as the first in the series, Lick. I felt that there story stayed on a bit of a plateau for awhile and then we got a little surprise and a few twists, as expected, but I didn't find myself having an OMG moment that I always hope for in books. I had a massive OMG moment in the first book so I was left wanting a bit more from Play.If you enjoyed Lick, I definitely recommend reading Play. Mal was super funny and the relationship between the two of them was sweet. I loved that we got to spend a lot more time with Eve, David, and got to know a lot of other supporting characters that I imagine will have their own story later down the road. I can't resist sexy rock stars, if you feel the same way then you should pick up this series!
