 Playing it Tough

Sydney Smoke #8

Reviewed by Helen


I know when I pick up an Amy Andrews book I am going to discover a hot, steamy and sensual romance filled with witty banter, humour and emotion and this one is all of those with a big dose of emotion as we meet Orla Stewart and Ronan Dempsey as they find their way to a beautiful HEA.

Orla is a tattoo artist, specializing in covering scars and for a while there she partying big time but when she stopped and started to think about her life more, because that’s what cancer can do to a person she made changes, these days she works hard on keeping fit eating healthy and choosing a life of celibacy, that might just change when hot rugby dude moves into the pool house.

Ronan is an American playing top level rugby for the Sydney Smoke and winning and keeping fit and concentrating on his game is what he does he has high hopes and he wants nothing getting in his way so from now till the end of the season celibacy is his choice, much to the horror of his team mates. But when he needs to find a place to stay for a while and is offered a pool house to stay in the last thing he was looking for was to be put on his back in more ways than one by a gorgeous pink haired goddess.

I loved this story Ronan is the best hero for Orla a woman who has been through so much and deserves the best she is tough, brave and strong and has big walls built around her heart and it is going to take Ronan some work to bring those walls down. This one is steamy and sensual and a page turner, one not to be missed, thank you Amy Andrews for another awesome story in this series.

My thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for my copy to read and review
