Play Me is a novella so it's pretty short and sweet. This is only the second story from Diane Alberts that I have read. The first one was Love Me, another novella from the same Take a Chance series.Garrett loves Kiersten. Kiersten has been burned it the past by a cheating fiancé and since he hated Garrett she decides to get her revenge by sleeping with Garrett and she subsequently gets pregnant. She and Garrett have to work out how they can make their far from ideal situation work and the story goes from there.I liked Garrett. He wore his heart on his sleeve, he was loyal, dependable and, from the descriptions in the book, he was also hot and a god in bed! I liked how he stepped up and accepted his responsibilities for Kiersten and the baby without a second thought.I wasn't so sold on Kiersten. I completely get that she had been hurt in the past and had trust issues as a result but I didn't like the fact that she knew exactly how Garrett felt about her and still used him in the way that she did. She pushed him away so many times. She had a lot of opportunities to open up to him but she chose not to. I can't decide if this was realistic or not.I guess I might feel just as scared of history repeating itself if I was in her position.I liked Chris, her son, and Mike, her brother. They both had a lot of humorous lines in the story and they definitely had me chuckling. I liked how Mike, and his no-nonsense attitude, helped her to work things out.
