Playing the part was full of passionate moments that will take capture you until the very end. Piper James is a bestselling author recovering from a monumental blow to her career and self-confidence when her publisher sends her to be Mick Blackwell's "acting coach," the sparks begin to fly. Robin Covington jumped right into what felt like the "heart of the story," but it was only the beginning! Mick Blackwell exudes confidence, charm and raw sexual appeal. From the get-go, they both draw the lines and set up the rules but I loved that Mick was really the strongest of the duo. He was completely swoon worthy and every single thing about him screamed passion (and not just the lustful kind). I connected to him quicker than I did Piper but that's because we share a couple of the same tendencies and I'm a sucker for smart ass, confident men. To me initially, Piper had some contradictions between her thoughts and actions but further into the story as details were revealed and you read more of her story, all her choices made sense.On that note, Piper was everything you could want in a heroine. She was strong-willed, determined, and aggressive (the good kind. She's a girl who gets what she wants). Once I got a little into the book and had more insight on how Piper's mind worked and her feelings about different things going on, I started cheering her on big-time. Seriously I might have to start a girl crush list to put Piper on. It was a relief to read a heroine who embraced her sexual nature instead of being nave or a virgin. She gave Mick a real run for his money and a challenge because in that area, she was definitely his equal. Even in her shining moments of glory, I never thought of her as slutty. I really enjoyed that she wasn't a completely broken person that needed a guy to fix her. Instead, Robin Covington delivers a story that's engaging and full of sexual chemistry.The relationship between Mick and Piper explodes off the pages. Some scenes are so sizzling hot you'll be left turning the page and begging for more. Covington completes the cast with Linc (another man who exudes his own sexual swagger) and Piper's best friend Chris. As much as I'd like to share with you about these two, I feel like you'll appreciate discovering them and their roles all on your own. I can't tell you all the good parts. It was an easy read, full of fun, and witty banter. The sexual tension, dialogue and moments that fill the pages of Playing the Part will leave you needing a fan and a bottle of water. If you're reading my review because you've stumbled upon Playing the Part and are curious, Read it. I loved every moment of Piper and Mick's stories, they were both relatable and their journeys were realistic. I couldn't help but to be enticed.
