The Play by Karina Halle

5.0

I just have to say....I am so sleepy today cause I couldn't put down The Play. I think this is the best yet from Karina Halle. Kayla Moore is the 5th wheel in her group of friends but she never shows if it bothers her or not. They all see her as the fun loving quirky girl who doesn't seem to settle down. I absolutely Loved Kayla and how she just kept on being her. I love her quirkiness and how she comes across confident, but has the shyness and self consciousness others do not see. Lachlan McGregor, cousin to Linden and Bram...Star Rugby player in Edinburgh. He comes to visit he cousins in San Fransisco and to recover from and injury. He meets Kayla and he fights his attraction, Kayla tries to turn her charms onto him and he does not fall for them. (at least on the outside) She nicknames him the beast cause he is so big. Lachlan..sigh, the beast! He dark intensity....you can just tell that he is fighting something deep. I love the chemistry...the dirty sexiness. I loved and seriously disliked how gut wrentching it was at times. Read the journey they go through opening up to each other and learning about each other and relationships. Have tissues handy. Gut wrentching, heartbreaking and seriously dirty sexiness in this book. Thank you for such an amazing book Karina Halle!!
