3.75 stars:  PLAYING THE PLAYBOY is the second instalment in Noelle Adams contemporary, adult Heirs of Damon series focusing on the Damon family heirs and their  uncle/father Cyrus Damon.  This is Andrew and Laurel's story.  Although this is the second in the series, it can be read as a stand alone without too much difficulty.  The major players from the first storyline play a small role in PLAYING THE PLAYBOY as the family works together to claim what they believe is rightfully theirs.The storyline premise focuses on Laurel Greyson and her struggle to keep possession of the Santorini Inn, given to her by her late husband Jerry Grayson as a wedding gift.  As the storyline progresses Laurel begins to fall for the man sent to remove her from the premises but in doing so digs herself into a deeper hole by lying about her previous experience and how she came into possession of her late husband's inn. The Damon family knows that the Santorini Inn belongs to them and it is Andrew’s current assignment that will place him face to face with the woman who will fight him at every step of the eviction.The relationship between Laurel and Andrew begins under false pretenses but quickly develops into something sexual and sensual.  There is an immediate attraction between the couple but the circumstances of their union will become more complicated as the truth about the Inn's ownership and previous history places an impenetrable wall between our leading couple.  When the reality of the situation is finally revealed, Laurel will walk away into an uncertain future and life without the people that she loves.Noelle Adams continues the story about the Damon men and the situations where Uncle Cyrus will pull the strings as the master puppeteer in a world of corporate acquisitions, financial success and family struggles.  Each of the Damon men will play a pivotal role in their uncle's business ventures as each successive storyline will pull the reader into a world of billionaire dollar take overs and falling in love.PLAYING THE PLAYBOY is a fast paced storyline about two people pushed together under abnormal circumstances and who will be pulled apart by lies, deceit and a misunderstanding.I was gifted a copy
