  Frankie As a little girl, I was read all the fairy tales with white knights in shining armor coming to the rescue.

Audiobook Review: Play Dirty

  “He was chosen. She was promised. Both were caged.” Their worlds were never meant to collide. But obsession doesn't follow rules. And some games were never meant to be played clean. In a University where power is currency and silence is survival, playing dirty might be the only way to win. A dark soccer thriller romance series about power, silence, and what happens when the secrets are brought to the light. My Review You could feel the tension, intrigue, spark between Shiloh and Nico. It did not take me very long to get sucked into this story. The dark mystery surrounding the story was what really drew me in. I love dark, secret society stories. This book kept me wide wake and it was a bit twisty. Narrators Shiloh James and Anthony Palmini are amazing. I love listening to their voices. They helped to elevate the story and really brought the voices of Shiloh and Nico to life. Listening to Anthony and Shiloh is where it is at. If you love audiobooks, you are going to want to downlo...

  Gracie Reynolds and I have been best friends since we were kids. She’s smart, kind, funny, beautiful—and one of the best parts of my life. When Gracie walks into a room, people notice. I always notice. But when she moved across the world with a guy I despised, it felt like I’d lost a piece of myself. I missed her in ways I still can’t explain. Now she’s back— and she’s crashing at my place for a couple of months while she figures things out. She’s single and ready for a fresh start. I’ve always had her back, and that hasn’t changed. What has changed? The way that she looks at me. The way I can’t stop looking at her. So, when Gracie makes me a once in a lifetime proposition--obviously, I'm all in. But this isn't your average gray area--it's a full-on, sweat-inducing, five chili pepper detour we never meant to take. Gracie has big dreams though, and I’d never be the guy to hold her back. Even if all I want…is to be the reason that she stays. My Review OMG. I am obsessed wit...
