Playing by Her Rules by Amy Andrews
2.0

An enjoyable enough listen thanks to the Aussie narrator and the sizzling chemistry between Tanner and Matilda. I love a good second-chance romance, especially when they are childhood sweethearts, but this story hasn't aged well over all.

There's a lot of secrets between both characters that would have been easily fixable with one conversation, lots of slamming around sex without taking a moment to talk about their problems, and Tanner uses his size to physically prevent Matilda from leaving during a fight, and he doesn't honor her requests to stop, put her down, or any of it. Instead he arouses her and they have angry sex.

I like Andrews writing style this one just didn't work that well for 2020 COVID19 Beth.
