"Life is a song, Anne. Let's play."I laughed, I laughed, and I laughed some more to the point that I got worried that the sudden twist Kylie Scott is about to do might wreck me.I enjoyed reading this novel, despite the fact that it is a Monday, I could not think of a more perfect way of spending the day than to lazily sprawl out in bed, with my Kindle on hand, reading these two awesome novels by Kylie Scott. Since both can be read as a stand-alone (thank goodness), I went with Play first.OMG! Everything was REALLY CRAZY! MAL IS CRAZY! In a good way, of course.Mal was the drummer for the world famous rock band, Stage Dive – and between him, and David, I would have him any day at all. I like my men hot and funny – and a little crazy on the side. He needed to have a plan – get someone to be his pseudo-girlfriend for the moment, clean up his act temporarily, having ‘hook-ups’ in every city wouldn’t work this time. What he didn’t count is for Anne to come into his life, and making him realize that permanent may not be that bad after all.Anne – I hate the fact that she’s gullible enough to allow other people to use her. It’s just heartbreaking to watch a nice person being used and abused by people who lacks conscience. And for her to wait around for a friend, who doesn’t see her for what she’s worth while he’s busy sleeping with other girls – arrghhhh…. Everything in her life was just falling down in pieces, especially when her roommate just bailed out on her, and rent-collection is coming around the corner – until Mal came into her life. She couldn’t believe the fact that the man whose face is plastered around her wall is right in front of her – offering her to be his pretend-girlfriend.Then there’s Reece – he’s her boss and long-time friend, and she would have settled for him. Thank goodness Mal came into the picture. I would have hated her settling for something less than what she deserves. He didn’t really see her, until Mal entered her life and he felt the competition.I really thought it was a prank, or he was just kidding her – imagine my surprise when she went home one day and found him on her house, feeling at-home. Gaahd. I could just imagine the look on her face!!!So what difference does it make – between those people who are out to use her, and him asking her to be his fake-girlfriend? First, he’s a rock god, who’s so effin hot, even me would be putty in his hand (LMAO! – kidding). He’s pretty persuasive about what he wants, but he wanted her to set boundaries, to fight for what she deserves, and to go after what she wants. And for that, he owns my heart.But this guy has a lot more on his shoulder than he care to share with her. She knew he needed a girlfriend for something, something so big he couldn’t share to her. He doesn’t talk to her about it, I mean, he can talk about anything except that fact, and when finally the secret is about to be revealed, he did one stupid thing that had my jaws dropping, and the twist that I was waiting for? It happen. And I was right, Kylie Scott had me laughing off my chair, probably to ease the pain of my heart shattering at this point.Why couldn’t he just talk to her?! Why can’t he tell her? What their having – it’s becoming real! Why ruin it?I feel Anne’s pain – her cleaning the whole house until she can see her face on the floor, I soooo can relate. But it’s really sad watching her do it, trying to clean all the pain away, as if disinfectants can do it. Seeing her being taken care of by her friends, and sister makes all of this bearable. Because all her life she had been taking care of everyone, and this time, there are people who is taking good care of her…But of course, Kylie didn’t allow her readers to remain broken hearted, ah, she made it up big time and once again, put that smile back into my face as the novel ends.This is one of those books I have unexpectedly love, and immediately recommended to my friends. I couldn’t get enough of Mal’s antics, and his craziness. There wasn’t a page in this book that had me void of emotions, I was laughing my heart out, swooning, or tearing up. Kylie Scott wrote an amazing second book to her series that made her readers to scream out for more!✪Complimentary Copy was given in exchange for an honest review.✪
