If I could give this book 6 stars, I would. This book evoked so many emotions for me. It was fall-out-of-your-chair-hilarious and tears-on-your-tablet-heartbreaking. I knew I would like it, because I was huge fan of the first book in the series, Lick, but I had no idea how much I would absolutely, whole-heartedly, unabashedly fall in love with it.[Love was a stupid word. I’d heard it from various people and it rarely meant what you thought it did. Somewhere along the way, that word had turned into a pleasantry, not profound and weighty as it should have been. No, Love wasn’t what I felt. This was different, more complex. I couldn’t even think of a word for it.]Malcolm ‘Mal’ Ericson is the stuff my dreams are made of and more. He is hysterically funny, smoking hot, and a big, giant sweetheart of a teddy bear. Plus he’s a rockstar.I am head over heels for Mal in a way I haven’t been in a long time. Massive book hangover. I don’t even want to start my next book, I just want to experience this one over again. Mal is perfection and he will surely give me sweet dreams tonight.Anne Rollins is not without her merits either. She’s independent, hard-working, funny, and loyal. She makes so much sense for Mal that everything else seems wrong. Anne and Mal have a chemistry that sparks and burns the walls down, from the very first time they lay eyes on each other.They are both battling their own personal demons though and use each other as an escape and, initially, a ruse.I cannot tell you how many times I laughed out loud, sometimes until my stomach hurt.I also cannot tell you the number of tears that fell in the second half of this book. Kylie Scott is brilliant and Play is a sparkling, shining diamond that I won’t soon forget about. I am thrilled beyond words just imagining the future gems that Ms. Scott will produce. She’s a stunningly talented author and a cherished addition to my Favorite Authors club. Lifetime membership awarded! Read this book now!
