Rating: 5 out of 5

I loved this book. There were so many great quotes from this book.This is what the story is about. Two months late on her rent, Anne’s roommate bails without any notice leaving her with nothing but her bedroom furniture.  Anne not only has to worry about herself, but she helps and take cares of her sister who is in college. Mal, the drummer for the hot band Stage Dive, needs a pretend girlfriend.  He finds out about the bind that Anne is in and makes her an offer she cannot refuse.“Life’s a song, Anne. Let’s play.”Kylie Scott I think you are one of my top favorite authors after this book.  Simply because you know how to write a good second book (sequel) in the series and not make it dull or … what is the word??? Oh yes… STUPID. There was nothing stupid about this sequel.  I have read so many sequels where I loved the first book and then I read the second book and I think the author should have just stopped with the first, but that is not the case with PLAY. From page one I loved PLAY.I loved Mal.“Mal Ericson might be a bad boy, but he was also a good man.”I loved Anne. LOVED.“Cleary she was a sucker for Mal’s particular brand of crazy.”SO AM I!!!  SO AM I!!!!There was no manufactured drama or ridiculous angst.  The heroine was smart, and strong, and not an idiot. The hero…well it took him awhile to get  used to having a “pretend” girlfriend, but he was so lovable… *big smile*  I miss them already. Mal and Anne made me laugh out loud. Mal had the most outrageous things to say.  The things that came out of Mal’s mouth AND Anne, she was the perfect match for Mal.  She did not sit back and take it.Did I already mentioned how I loved this couple????“…Team Mal and Anne.”I raised a fist high.“Yay.”I don’t think I wrote so many status updates for any book as much as I did for this one. I was worried after a while that I was giving away too much, but this book had so much.  The writing, the story, the characters were so lovable. Every other page had something clever or cute or funny that I wanted to highlight and share.“Pumpkin, I’m always serious when it comes to you. Even when I’m joking around, I’m still serious as s***.”My one complaint…it ended.  I did not want it to end.  I wanted more.  When my kindle percentages were going up 90%, 93%, 95%...I was getting sad. To Kylie Scott, please, PLEASE can you write give me just a little something extra with Mal and Anne???  Maybe a chapter of Mal’s POV.  Actually I will take anything.I don’t think it is necessary to read the first book in this series, LICK, but I highly recommend you do.  Plus LICK was a 5 star read too. As a bonus for all LICK fans, Ev and David make a few appearances in PLAY.A copy was provided by the publisher/author in exchange for an honest review.
