I realize this is a popular series, but there's something about it that I just don't enjoy. The writing is straightforward, but the story of Play was, in my opinion, rather silly. POSSIBLE SPOILERS: The likelihood of Anne's story is quite improbable. On the very day that she discovers that she's been duped by her roommate and left for broke, she meets a millionaire Rick star who, after eavesdropping on her phone call, decides that he feels bad fir her and decides to become her roommate and  foot the bill for awhile. And since his mother has a health crisis and has always wanted to see him settled, all that he requires from Anne in return is that she plays along as his girlfriend.The whole plot is just silly to me, and that's where my interest ends. Even the interactions between Mal and Anne were either silly or boring. I didn't feel that there was any emotional depth in their relationship. She was in awe of him, finding him ultra sexy because she was a fan of his band. He felt bad that she had been used and, yet he wanted to use her, too. Because of the emphasis of their physical attraction to one another, I just didn't by the love story at the end.Even more disappointing, the sex scenes were boring! I felt the same way about Lick, book 1, but I had hoped that book 2 would be an improvement. Much to my dismay, book 2 is worse. Therefore, I will not continue with book 3 (due out in December), and I cannot recommend this series.
