Have you ever finished reading a book and gave it one rating, but that book stayed on your mind for days after, so you changed your rating? Yeah...that happened to me with this book. The more I thought about Mal and Anne, the more I loved them.It doesn't seem like all that long ago that I read Lick, but I remember being really excited about Mal's story. He's goofy, but certainly has sex appeal. In this book, Mal needs a good girl and Anne just happens to be in the right place at the right time. And Anne is a bit down on her luck at the moment, so Mal seizes the opportunity to swoop in and save the day, not only for Anne, but for himself.He moves in with Anne, without asking. Not that she really minds, because he is her big time crush, but it was a bit...surprising. He makes a deal with her that he'll help her out with her financial predicament if she pretends to be his girlfriend. Done. Sold. While Anne has some hesitation, it's pretty hard to resist Mal's charms.So, they both have their reasons for taking advantage of their new found relationship, and honestly...I don't want to go through those reasons. Let's just say that Mal's relationship with his family is really tight and plays a big part in his reasons behind picking Anne. Anne has her own issues to deal with too, but what surprised them both was how deep they fell for each other. Even though it started out as a farce, their feelings for each other were real. I loved them completely. They had a lot of fun together, but they also realized that they had found that person that they could be completely themselves with. I really loved them.As for the sexy times, despite all the laughter, Mal certainly brought the heat. Some of the sexiest moments to me was all the build up to the big time. When they broke the bed, I nearly cried I was laughing so hard. Then, the bath tub scene nearly left ME in a puddle. Once they finally got things worked out...man they were hot together!Overall, Play turned out to be even better than I had hoped for. I've enjoyed getting to know this whole crew and I am seriously looking forward to seeing how the rest of the series turns out. If you like sexy rockers, you won't want to miss this series!Quotes:~"Life's a song, Anne. Let's play."-Loc 895~"Look at you all assertive. I like it. Though really, I'd prefer it if you thought of me as being beyond boundaries."-Loc 950~"All I heard was blah blah I've been thinking about you constantly. Blah blah it's got to be you. It was perfect, pure romance."-Loc 2530
