This was an absolute whirlwind. Leigh masterfully blends steamy romance with gripping suspense, creating a heart-pounding and heartwarming story. The childhood connection between Poppy and Jack, forged through acts of heroism, evolves into a complex, adult relationship filled with longing and unresolved tension. Jack's return as a formidable ex-Navy SEAL to protect Poppy brings their past and present crashing together, with danger lurking at every turn. While the storyline echoes the intensity of an erotic romance, it stands out with its unique blend of suspense and deep emotional bonds. This book kept me on my seat, eagerly anticipating the next installment.

The MMC is terrible. Also got the ick at their history with her being 7 and him 14.
The dialogue was so cringe that I just could not finish.
Play Dirty by Lora Leigh is a good fit for those seeking a passionate and protective romance featuring childhood friends reuniting under dangerous circumstances, with a strong emphasis on trust and possessiveness.
Honestly this book made me angry. It was too similar to nautuboy which I love but not similar enough. She reused a lot of tropes but didn't manage to capture the chemistry protectiveness or likability of the characters and nauti boy the scenes felt disjointed and confusing. Will not recommend will not reread

I admittedly really liked most of this book but the AI piece just didn’t feel right. The end of the book really threw me off and felt clunky. I realize it’s supposed to be a cliffhanger but it just left me super confused. Which is actually sad considering the romance piece between the two main characters is steamy and adorable.
slow-paced
Just didn’t care for the characters or the plot really. Thought it would be more interesting but really didn’t care how it ended
