4.5 Game Winning Stars!And chalk another one up to Diane Alberts for Play Me. Third in the Take a Chance series, I loved this one just as much as the other two. Not only are her covers wonderfully scrumptious, but the stories behind the covers are just as tantalizing.In Play Me, Kiersten is having herself a little pity party on the day she is supposed to be walking down the aisle, realizing she never should have opened herself up to a man and have her heart shattered. She doesn't want to make that mistake again, but she also has needs she wants to see to for just one night. Enter Garrett, Kiersten's life-long friend and son's basketball coach. Garrett has always loved Kiersten, but remained in the `friend zone' until she proposes they have their one night of fun. Garrett is all for that one night, but he wants more than that. He wants to be able to love her freely. But that one night happens, it was wonderful, and Garrett can't bring himself to go back to the way things were which is exactly what Kiersten wants. Unfortunately for them, neither of them get what they want when Kiersten finds out that she's pregnant from their one-night stand.Kiersten wants to raise this child as a single parent with help from Garrett, if he wants to be a present father, but what she doesn't expect is Garrett wanting to move in and have everything to do with his child. Finally agreeing to this ridiculous idea, Kiersten fears that Garrett will continue to break down her walls and capture her heart, which would lead to another heart break. Garrett only wants the chance to prove that he is the one and only man Kiersten can and will only ever need, but can these two live together before they push each other too far in the wrong direction?Kiersten is a strong, independent, and extremely stubborn woman who has been wronged one too many times and Garrett is the man who has to face that wrath. Garrett is also the man determined to pick up the pieces of what she has lost and be what holds it all together. I fell in love with these two and both of their stubborn ways. Play Me was a book I didn't put down until the end.(I received an ARC for my review and this is my honest-to-goodness, straight from the heart review!)*The Take a Chance series can be read individually or continuously, but I recommend the latter :D*[...]  For more book reviews!!
