Play Along (Windy City Book 4)
Rating : ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“C’mon wife. Play along.”
“Grief seems like a privilege, in a way,” she says. “To have loved someone so much that you can’t imagine life without them.”
“I live, laugh, love you too.”

Okay. I'm convinced. Liz Tomforde is a genius. How is this one a 5 ⭐️ too ??? She is a literal magician, and I have yet to be disappointed with anything she has written.
This book. This book. I don't know if I was prepared for Isaiah's story, but what can I say? I loved it!!! I absolutely love a good marriage of convenience, and I was certainly here for this one. Liz Tomforde did such a great job with plot, character, and relationship development in this book, as well as, weaving in characters from past books. I don't know how it could have been better.
These two characters. We have been waiting for this moment between Kennedy and Isaiah, and as I said, it did not disappoint. I enjoyed getting both Kennedy's and Isaiah's back stories. I felt like we had been waiting 3 books to hear their personal history, as well as, how they actually met. Their meeting was perfection. I also loved that we get to see a more vulnerable side to them both in this novel. It truly made me as a reader understand and connect with them better.
I enjoyed the route Liz takes in this book with the plot. I loved the banter. I loved the "teach me" moments. I loved Isaiah's encouragement and support in anything Kennedy did. I also, loved their playfulness with each other. They were literally perfect for each other, everything was chef's kiss.
Lastly, I am not an emotional person nor an emotional reader, but this book got me, especially during Kai's scene on the field! Did I cry? Yes. Yes I did. It really pulled at my heartsrings, and I loved getting that moment between Kai and Isaiah.
Overall, 10 out of 10 recommend!

Liz Tomforde is definitely one of my top five favorite authors. She writes complex, loveable characters with plenty of real-life issues and they actually deal with them in healthy ways and build secure relationships. I thought this was the saddest of all of the Windy City books so far, possibly with the issues that Kennedy and Isaiah were dealing with hitting closer to home than I’m used to. I love Isaiah’s sweetness and they way they both encourage the other to be their whole selves in their relationship and work together to create a safe and loving place within each other to call home. The spice (as always) is *chef’s kiss* with easy banter and good tension. I wish there were a thousand more books like this (although I’d probably never get anything income if that were the case).
