A cocky egotistical manwhore. These are a few words to describe Sawyer Reed, star quarterback of Camden University. Sawyer knows he is the man of the campus. The guy that every college girl wants. The door of revolving girls is an endless cycle. His ego alone is as big as a football stadium. So if Sawyer can get any girl he wants, why does the elusive Gretchen Cole wants nothing to do with him. Well, the answer is that she knows Sawyer Reed is a cocky prick. When Gretchen doesn't fall for his charm and isn't willing to hand over her knickers easily to him, Sawyer is intrigued. And so begins his pursuit of Gretchen Cole. But what Sawyer doesn't realize is that Gretchen has a secret that she has kept from Sawyer. So in this cat and mouse game, will Gretchen be finding herself falling for the cocky quarterback? And will she see that behind the facade is a good man?

Usually, I don't mind a cocky manwhore but the hero, Sawyer Reed took me a long time to like. I wouldn't say that I love his character at the end but I will say that he was able to show character growth and that to me was quite an improvement. SACKED was definitely a slow build story since this book was about unfolding secrets and learning to forgive. Overall, I did enjoy SACKED by Tabatha Vargo but I just wished the truth and unfolding of the truth was exposed much earlier on in the book in which would have allowed a better and deeper connection between Gretchen and Sawyer. So if you are a fan of cocky manwhore who learned to change his ways, then this book might be for you.

“Tell me what you want, love,” I tell her, my voice rough with lust. “Tell me what you want and I’ll give you what I have.”

Stunning. Captivating. Breathtakingly Beautiful. Emotionally Consuming. These are a few words that comes to mind after reading THE PLAY by Karina Halle. There aren't enough words to describe how much I LOVE this book. Seriously, I loved loved loved L.O.V.E.D this book!!!! Hands down this book will make my list of favorite reads of 2015. I have read almost every book written from this author and I will continue to support her because Karina Halle has always been an author, who never fails to deliver the best literary creation. And she definitely did just that with THE PLAY. Karina delivered a story full of passion, heart, emotions, and raw characters. As a reader, you are immediately spellbound and consumed with her gorgeous prose. You can get easily lost with her words and storyline as she paints a vivid beautiful literary creation that can capture your heart and touch your soul.

“He's probably the most stunning man I've ever laid eyes on, and I immediately want to rub myself all over his face. If that's not love, I don't know what is.”

Just reading the prologue alone, I was already consumed with emotions and I knew immediately this book will hold me hostage. Yes, THE PLAY is considered a romance story but I think what made it stand out was how the characters were written. Lachlan McGregor and Kayla Moore were much more than two strangers falling in love. It was like two kindred spirits finally finding the person to complete the missing piece in their hearts, soul, and mind. I love getting lost in a book and being able to connect and feel for the characters. There is something the way, Ms. Halle held me hostage as I felt every fiber of mixed emotions, hurt, loneliness, pain, lost, and love coursing through Lachlan and Kayla.

“Kayla…you’re my girl. You’re my beautiful world. And I’m whatever you want me to be, just as long as you know that I have never, ever felt this way about someone in my entire life.” He lowers his face, eyes focused intently on my lips. “I’m losing myself in you. Every day. And it’s the most wonderful, terrifying feeling in the world.”

I honestly don't want to say much to spoil the storyline but I will just say this: Karina Halle DELIVERED. If you want a book brimming with passion, heat, sexiness, steam, and dirty talks, then this book has that and so much more. And if you want a story that is filled with raw emotions, tangible and palpable connections that can tug those heartstrings and hold you hostage then this is the book for you. The writing is flawless. The storyline is phenomenal. And lastly, this book is everything what I craved in a romance book. Thank you Karina Halle for once again gifting your fans and readers with another McGregor boy to love.
