Jen's Review4.5 StarsI’d like to start off by saying that Play was a good follow up to Lick.  It was fun, flirty, sexy and really sweet.  I’m so glad that Kylie kept up with the humor that I loved from the first book because I really enjoyed having those laugh out loud moments.  And seriously there were many times I was laughing out loud.  The chemistry was outstanding, the banter between the characters was so well done. Even when things would get a little heavy there was always something said or done that would lift the mood.  I loved that we got see moments with the other band mates that we had the pleasure of meeting in the first book.Anne ends up finding herself in an impossible situation after a long hard day.  Her troubles just got a whole lot worse. Her friends try to lift her up by inviting her over to Eve and David’s place for a party they are having.  This is where she meets fellow band member, drummer Mal Ericson. The very same man she had posters of plastered all over her walls as a teenager.  I mean seriously her reaction to him is something I think most of us would have if we found ourselves around someone we fantasized about growing up.“A brain dead stare was the best I could do.”“And I was so obviously checking him out someone should slap me.If I kept this up, I would slap me. Hard.”“The crazy eyes kinda gave it away”Mal is hot, he’s sexy, playful and complicating. And let me just say he is so freaking funny.  He had me cracking up so many times. Absolutely hilarious. He’s loves having a good time and he doesn’t take too many things too seriously.  When he finds himself having to make other accommodations he decides what better thing to do then follow through on something he said the night before at the party. Even in his drunken state he doesn’t miss a beat when he met Anne.  This is where he comes up with a plan that will not only help Anne with her current situation but also where he will benefit too.  So when he moves in on an unsuspecting Anne he makes a deal with her. One she can’t turn down.  He needs a “fake” girlfriend and after he takes care of one thing that was a big stress for her she agrees to his terms. I mean it’s Mal Ericson for gods sake so what can go wrong right?“An opportunity to throw myself at him might just be too good to miss. After all, how many more chances would I get?”“Life’s a song, Anne. Let’s Play.”I have to say I really liked this story. I loved Mal a lot. I loved learning his what his issues were and my heart broke for him. He’s very charming, very playful and like I said before he is hilarious.  Did I say he was hot?  Yeah this boy is really freaking hot.  And  I’m not going to tell you anymore, you need to pick this book up and find out what becomes of Mal and Anne.  Honestly it’s rockstars and who doesn’t love reading about rockstars?  I can’t wait for the next book.*received a complimentary copy from the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review*
