kirstengrier 's review for:
Playing Nice
by JP Delaney
**I received and ARC Kindle edition from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review**
Peter is a work at home dad who cares for his 2 yr old son Theo while his wife Maddie earns most of their money working away from home. When Peter's doorbell rings one morning he is horrified to discover that Theo may not be his after all. A man named Miles tells him that their sons were actually switched at some point during their NICU stay. As the two families try to come to terms with what this all means and work out arrangements, Peter and Maddie start to get the feeling that Miles has a very different agenda for how this will all play out. At first amicable, Miles starts to become hostile and threatening. Peter and Maddie are soon involved in a court case and find their every move scrutinized and investigated. How far will Miles go and will he be able to be stopped?
I was excited to see a new book from Delaney and anxious to read it. This is the 4th book I've read by this author and they are all consistently good. This story was a departure from previous styles, which focused a lot on futuristic and technological aspects, and instead focused more on relationships within families. As with some of the other books this one took off right from the beginning and sucked me in, and then seemed to lose some steam towards the middle. There were a few loose ends that I felt were tied up a little too neatly (the car, the fact that Peter definitely should have called the police when Miles took Theo from the grocery store) It still held my interest and I will still continue to read books by Delaney.
Thank you once again to NetGalley and the publisher.
