3.5 starsGarrett has wanted Kiersten since high school. Although she's his best friend's sister, that hasn't stopped his heart from developing deep feelings for her. He knows that Kiersten has had a couple of rough years and doesn't want to add to her troubles by admitting his feelings for her. But when Kiersten, in a moment of weakness, offers herself to him he can't help himself and gives in. Even after they engage in a 'friends with benefits' relationship, he still wants more but is scared of how to approach her with his plan. So he hold on and spends time with her hoping one day she may come to feel for him what he feels for her.Kiersten can't deny that she's attracted to Garrett but his reputation as a player precedes him and she's not in no position to get her heart broken. But now that circumstances have changed for them both, how can she kept her heart out of the equation when the handsome man does everything in his power to win her over?I liked this story very much but contrary to the previous one, I didn't feel Kiersten and Garrett's emotions or chemistry jump off the page as much. I did enjoy their interactions. Their flirtatious banter and honest dialogue lent itself to reveal a side of them they mostly kept hidden. Their emotions, although somewhat tame, still were in present, especially towards the end when everything came to a close.Even though their chemistry was not as strong as I thought it would be it still was hot to see them together. Especially since Garrett added his emotions to the mix. It was hard to see how affected he was by their situation, but with his sense of humor and care-free attitude he kept the story light and entertaining.Of course, the introduction of the secondary characters added to the story. I especially enjoyed Mike, although it was a treat to see Thomas and Brianna again.Although this story might not have been everything I was expecting it still had that romantic quality I've enjoyed from the other stories. With interesting and complex characters, humor and some sexy scenes, Play Me was a great read.
