Play with Me

By: Cora Rose

Narrated by: James Edward Jones

Colton Cavanaugh. I can’t stand him. Entitled and smug, he takes whatever he wants—praise, people, things that aren’t his to claim. And the worst part? Everyone still worships him. His impressive footwork on the soccer pitch. That cocky smile. The charm he wears like armor. But I see through it. I know his game on and off the field.

And I refuse to be his next move.

But the more we face off—the tension growing thick between us—the more I start to unravel. A wink, a shove, a smirk from him and I’m buzzing, like a live wire ready to snap. My body reacts to him in a way I’ve never felt before. It’s messy, confusing, and impossible to ignore.

I’m not gay. Never wanted a guy—until Colton.

I just wanted back what he took from me…so why does it feel like I could give him everything?

Play with Me is book eight in a brand new sports shared world, featuring books from Willow Thomas, Becca Steele, Jodi Oliver, EM Denning, Becca Seymour, Becca Jackson, and EM Lindsey.

Not Bad...

This wasn't a bad book, Cora Roae doesn't write bad books. However, it didn't really feel like one of her novels. The character development felt rushed at times as did the romance. The narrator was another issue. There was very little change in his voice from character to character and he was montone. I feel like Liam DiCasimo or Michael Lesley would have knocked this one out of the park. I would recommend this book but I highly suggest reading it over listening to it.

Loved This

Unfortunately, it is kind of frustrating that when I really enjoy a Cora Rose title I reaaaally enjoy them. But more often then not there are more misses then hits. Thankfully, that is not the case for "Play With Me". I loved our MMCs and the supporting cast - mostly Miles' mother and sisters and his best friend Pauley. The storyline was interesting and told only from Miles' point of view so there was an air of mystery surrounding Colton at first. I have found this formula works sometimes because " Whit" still lives rent free in my mind. James Edward Jones is not the best performer, but he does a fairly good job; not enhancing, but not hindering either.

5 Starz - I would listen again
