I totally loved The Playboy. It starts off with a heartbreaking teenage moment between Alexia and Parker. Ash completely captures that feeling of being young (and stupid) and how devastating things can be. Then we flash forward about a half dozen years and the two meet again. Parker handles it like a champ and I totally fell in love with him right there in the middle of Chapter 1.

The way that Parker and Alexia work through their issues (and their attraction) is adorable and I found myself glued to the pages. They have great banter and Parker is a very inventive man as he not only earns a second chance with Alexia but takes on the task of helping her gain confidence. Ash manages to so completely convince readers of how perfect they are together that I took it personally when things went wrong … which just made it all the sweeter when I got to that last page. You know that they are going to figure things out but that doesn’t make that speed bump at the end any easier to take.
