Product Information

Dear Meghan Quinn I had things to do like work, talk to people owww and sleep. 😴 Did I do any of the things awww no. What I did do is stay up til four in the morning to finish this book 📖

The gang has returned and this time around, nobody is left untouched. Confusion, pain, disappointment, and frustration are spread throughout the entire group as exciting and new adventures are welcomed while unexpected events happen. But that was not the case here. Breaker Cane was SO damn close to swooping in and stealing the number one spot from his brother. The sexy, nerdy thing really does it for me, and the way he is soooo obsessed with Ophelia is just to die for. I really thought going into this that either of them had feelings and suppressed it when the other didn't seem to want it and so they spent 10 years in angst or hiding their feelings but NOPE.

I really did enjoy this book, and it was the perfect ending to this series. I wish some things played out differently, but all in all, this was a great laugh out loud romance with all the feels! Playing the Field” is the second novel in the “Hot-Lanta” series, and was released in the year 2013. The gang has returned and this time there’s a wedding to celebrate, except that is the furthest thing on Molly Meyers’ mind. After losing Luke (her fiance) two years ago, there is nothing she wants to do less than help Jane Bradley (her best friend) plan her wedding and celebrate the obnoxious, annoyingly lovey-dovey relationship that Jane has with Brady Matthews. I'll admit Lia, the FMC, was a little annoying and immature at times (and, yes, I'll choose to ignore the fact that we share a name, for the same reason listed before), and I didn't always agree with Breaker's decisions: I also cringed more times than I could count, but the book was overall cute and pretty enjoyable, and I guess I've read worse, at this point. Then I don’t know where it all went wrong. Actually no, I do. Lia is the Amy Dunne definition of a “cool girl”, the glasses wearing nerd with non mainstream tastes and a boy best friend. Oh, and she doesn’t wear dresses and hates romcoms. Stop it Lia, we get it, you’re “not like other girls”, no need to wallop us over the head with it. What she is is a self centered, manipulative manic pixie dream girl who got on my last nerve. I’d give her some grace but then she goes and judges another woman for being girly and that was my last straw. I know she was jealous and confused, but her cluelessness does not add to her charm either. Can a book boyfriend be too perfect? Well actually, it did take a while for them to realize they were in love with each other, and he did go out with a really nice woman Lia’s fiancée set him up with. But other than that he’s such a great brother, brother in law, friend and a deliciously alpha lover.

The only thing that annoyed me in this book and is the cause why I can’t give it a full on 5 star rating, is Brian. He was there for toooooooo long and my girl Lia should’ve broke up with him a LOOOOONG time ago!! It was just so frustrating seeing her tolerate his annoying behaviour for 60% of the book! Bro did not deserve that big amount of time in the book. And I adored Lia. I loved her sass, wit, vulnerability, and loving heart. During the prologue, her character was practically ME in college! I loved the first two books and was super excited to read Breaker's story but honestly? It took TOO long for these two to get together. Too long for them to realize they wanted and loved each other, it felt forced? Like here is your best friend and perfect match, took you ten years though so it's just meant to be right? He did not have gfs or meaningful relationships ever since meeting her, but she did, so it felt unbalanced to me in a way. Especially when you figure out his reasons for NOT having anything serious aka, he had her so why would he need companionship when she provided everything except sex so he got that from others.Lia and Breaker meet in college, where they were both apart of a super secret scrabble society. They are self proclaimed nerds who enjoy what they enjoy, regardless of what anyone else thinks of them. Right away the banter on these two is on point, and although you know they are meant to be because they just *fit* for the next ten years they are purely best friends. They are each others person through and through, and even though Lia is getting married, Breaker is the one she turns to. When her fiance is noticeably not interested in planning her wedding, combined with a mama's boy with the mother in law from hell, Breaker offers to be her man in waiting, and help her plan her wedding and making sure her voice & opinions don't get lost along the way. With all that going on, Lia feels lost and trapped, and her only solace is her best friend. But when Lia notices that her future husband isn't the one for her, can she jump into Beakers arms? Or will they be destined to just be friends? the slow 🔥. Okay. Listen. I know. I know so many people are gonna want this to be a fast burn. But. The way that it’s done here MAKES SENSE. Lia and Breaker have been best friends for a decade. For a chunk of the book, she’s with someone else. It needed to be on the slow burn side 🤷🏻‍♀️. Sure, Breaker could’ve pushed her, but he made sure to get her to FEEL 🥵 the delicious tension 💦 between them. It’s the little touches that had even MY heart beating 👀 and got lots of juices flowing 😉. He needed her to know that they are IT. This isn’t a game. They’re not just gonna move on. This is IT. And man… did I enjoy it 😋. And THIS, dear readers… is how you avoid an annoying and unnecessary third act conflict and lead a healthy and beautiful relationship!! Lia and Breaker are the prime example of how communication is key and I LOVE to see!!!
