Review & Giveaway: Play Fling by Amber Scott

One great day... Ms. CJ. Gabriel asked me over to her place! (Here) She played twenty questions with me... and boy did it get hot!! Well, needless to say that one of the contests she hosted was for authors to get a review by me..... And the winner was the lovely Ms. Amber Scott!

So here goes... This book was given to me by Ms. Amber for review... of my honest opinion.

Face Your Target...
Brooke Munkle didn't leave a lukewarm marriage just to flounce into the first hot bed. Too young, too hot, Elliott Jovovich has no business distracting her from starting over. If only he'd get out of her fantasies. Maybe if she keeps things simple, she can allow herself one naughty indulgence. After all, who will know?

Pull The String...
Elliott sees through Brooke's stiff facade. Underneath her struggle to hold it all together, a vibrant, wanton woman is waiting to be freed. To win her heart, he'll play by her rules, which would be a a lot easier if her hostile best friend didn't fight so dirty. Sure, he has ammo of his own, but what he knows could hurt Brooke.

Steady. Aim. Release...
Millie Match isn't sure what she did to deserve this matchmaking hell. The sneaking around, the spying, compatibility issues, chemistry crises. Her target, Brooke, is keeping secrets. Elliott is definitely Mr. Wrong. And if Millie doesn't make true love magic now, she'll lose the one thing in this punishment worth fighting for.

For those of you that know me... and those that don't this is my little statement about short books.... I do not judge short stories on the rush of their relationships, because they are just that - short stories. So, yes the relationships always could have been drawn out more, yea it seems like they fall in love to fast and of course the story could have been made longer... but it is a short story. So with that said.... here is my review...

Do you believe in love at first sight? What about lust at first sight? Do you believe in Valentine's day being all about love and finding the right one? Speaking of Valentine's Day.... Do you believe that love has a helping hand from Cupid? We believe in angels... what about Cupids?

Cupid-shumpid... Brooke is a very logical person. Thinks everything through and then thinks some more. At thirty nine years old, life had dealt her a marriage of fifteen years that slowly dwindled away. Divorced for under a year, Brooke is trying to regain her life back. A life she never had. A life of independence. A life of love was not on her agenda.

I like Brooke's character. She is a very down to earth woman, getting over her divorce, starting up her own business and going back to school to learn more about her business. Those things are really admirable of a woman in today's world. Also, she kinds reminds me of "real" people I know My heart goes to her because after the divorce people who she considered her friends... kinda left her. Until she met Millie....

Millie, Millicent (aka Kiki Kent), has a job to do. She has to make a love match for Brooke in order to move on to the next job assignment. Exactly what is Millie, she is cupid. She has seven matches to make in order to go back to her life, the life of Kiki Kent. She was given an assistance of sorts, A.J. A man she would love nothing to do but have her way with... But it is against the rules and rules is something Millie is not good at. Wanting what she wants is Kiki's, I mean Millie's first rule. Or that was her first way of thinking....

Millie is a hard pill to sallow. She comes on the scene as Brooke's best friend... although the things that Brooke tells us about her, leaves me wondering how much of a best friend she really is. Missing dinner dates, being late for the movies... hell even not showing up or calling when Brooke was counting on her the most ~ to read her paper for class. Then... as the story progresses, Millie really has a mind of her own. Not thinking of what was best for Brooke or even what Brooke wanted. She kinda irked me because most of her thinking was all centered around herself. Until A.J. would put in his two cents and center her to what her job was at hand... Brooke.

This is Millie's thoughts.....
"No wonder she still wore all seven gold bands. Love just wasn’t her drink of choice. Give her a shot of like any day. Lust on the rocks."

This is a great love story. To see love triumph over all, no matter who it is for is always a great thing. Brooke is a woman cut from today's cloth. She is concerned for her career just as much as she is concerned about her heart. You really want to see her fall in love with the right man... But can Millie do her job.... Even though I had my struggle with Millie, in the end, she does her job. If you were ever curious how Cupid really works, this is truly a great story. Or should I say this will be a great series!!!! And I have contacted Ms. Amber and there are more stories!!!

This is a new to me author and she is on my radar! I can not wait to read the next one... I am very interested to see if Millie can manage to get rid of all seven bracelets... and what will be come of her and A.J.!!!
