Play Along – Windy City Series #4
 
⭐️ 4.5 | 🌶️ 2
 
This is the next installment in the Windy City Series, and we got a sneak peek of this plot line at the end of Caught Up (Book 3). I loved Isaiah in that book, and I was so excited to see him finally get the girl he’s been pining for!
 
I really enjoyed seeing the beginnings of their friendship. Her boss was the worst, and I truly felt for Isaiah and his past. Kennedy definitely deserved a better family thank goodness for her stepbrother. Isaiah and Kennedy were perfect opposites: the spontaneous MMC and the type-A FMC made such a fun, well-balanced couple.
 
There were some laugh-out-loud moments and great banter between them:
“Does this mean the honeymoon phase is over already?”
“I hate you!”
“See you at home, wifey!”
 
And this gem:
“Eyes are up here, wifey.”
“I’m a doctor, Rhodes. Aced anatomy, in fact. I know where your eyes are located. I just don’t care right now.”
 
This marriage of convenience/fake dating trope was done so well, and I really enjoyed watching Kennedy explore new sides of herself with Isaiah.
 
Highly recommend this series! I’ll be so sad to say goodbye after Rio’s book.
 
Happy reading, everyone! 📚
