🏈 Playing For Keeps 🏈 (Book 3 in the U of J series) by Alley Ciz 

ℝ𝕒π•₯π•šπ•Ÿπ•˜: 4 ⭐️; 2.5 🌢️ 

π‘πžπ―π’πžπ°: 

🏈 Let me just get out of the way that this still was an amazing read, and I love how it wraps up Kay & Mason’s main story, however I felt it was longer than it needed to. There were a lot of moving parts in this finale of their HEA, and honestly, by the end it felt super rushed to clean up plot holes or missing pieces. I honestly felt like really big pieces of the plot just barely got addressed or overlooked and no details into them - all the while we are getting massive details on the outfits each of them wear - it seemed to take away from the story for me so that’s why I gave it 4 ⭐️. 

🏈 I really enjoyed Kay’s character a little bit more book by book and I enjoyed that she really did come into her own. Like a breath of fresh air. 

🏈 Mason of course is the playboy turned lovesick fool and we all love those! It was awesome to see him really put his foot down when it came to his family and how he was being treated I really liked that. 

🏈 Overall, this is a great series and I’m so thankful the first book was sent as part of my sisterhood of the traveling books!
