Sybil’s review of Playing the Game by Megan Hart
This was one of my first Amber Quill books and EEK their covers can suck. But that aside, Megan Hart gives us a pretty entertaining and quick read. This is a friends to lovers story with a history built in, my favorite type. The characters are believable, the game fun and sex is hot. Or maybe it I liked it because I have been in this type of bar. And it is a fun setting.
It began as a lighthearted competition between two friends. Ten points for correctly predicting which lame come-on the next person will use to hit on you. Fifteen points for getting asked for your phone number. Twenty for being bought a drink. Get someone to ask you to go home with them, and you have won The Game. Now Josie’s tired of watching beautiful women throw themselves at the one man who has always been there for her, and even winning has become losing if it means the man who takes her home from the bar isn’t Jack. She knows how to get other men to fall at her feet, but will the same moves work on her best friend? In love and lust, it’s all about Playing The Game…
The story appealed to my exbarhoppingself. And was well written and doesn’t take itself too seriously. Yes you still have your biggest cock evah exmanwhore but nothing is better than the tamed beast.
I need to pick up Opening the Door and White Wedding the two novellas that follow this tale and I think finish up the story of Jack and Josie.
For more info on the author, you can find her blog, here. Do give a shout if you try or have read this story. Would love to hear what you think!
Next Megan Hart: Lonesome Bride
Yowza! That’s quite the cover to say the least. Ok I’m done giggling uncontrollably 🙂
I think it is a standard AQ cover… I think. Not sure. If I put together questions for AQ I will ask 🙂
