The Play by Karina Halle
5.0
The Play, The Play, what can I say about The Play except for WHOA?! I feel like I've just played my own game of rugby and I'm tired and still trying to catch my breath. It was a tough, but fun, rewarding read and utterly unforgettable. It was a truly magnificent book and I can't tell you much I loved it!!
Kayla - oh, I loved her! She made me laugh my butt off with how frank and blunt she was in the beginning. I loved her humor, her passion, but most of all her heart. She has an incredibly big heart that she kind of hides behind her joking, I-don't-care-what-people-think attitude. She just has so much love to give to her family, her friends, and especially to Lachlan. Kayla doesn't always have everything figured out and it will cause you some heartache, but she is an amazing heroine, I loved her, and she's worth it to get to know!
And Lachlan, oh my Lachlan - he broke my heart and all I wanted to was just wrap him in my arms, squeeze him tight, and never let him go. Not only is he one HOT Scot, but he has that whole silent, brooding, tortured soul thing going on too which of course made me want to love him and squeeze him, but it was really his unbelievable sweetness and unwavering devotion to Kayla and the dogs that made fall head over heels for him. Lachlan completely stole my heart and I wholeheartedly loooooved him!!
I loved The Play almost as soon as I started reading it - it was absolutely hilarious and a huge change from the only other Karina Halle book I have read so far - Dirty Angels - it was a good change though. I just felt so many different emotions with this book - it punched me in the gut, broke my heart, made me feel sick, and made me ugly cry - but with all those negative things came the good ones too. It made me laugh and grin, brought good, happy tears to my eyes, and at times made me feel like my heart burst with love, happiness, and excitement.
The Play is a heartwarming, heart wrenching, beautiful, moving story that will stop your heart and take your breath away. It is extraordinary, it's definitely one of the best books I've read all year and I can't wait to read the other books in the series although I think this one will always be my favorite!
The Play is a standalone, it's told from Lachlan and Kayla's POV, and they get their well deserved happily-ever-after!
