Playing for Keeps by Jill Shalvis
5.0

What happens when an adorable three-legged puppy, a billionaire suit and a tattoo artist all meet? You get this addicting romance story. Caleb and Sadie are both two people who want to keep their past in the past and continue to keep up a wall to prevent others from getting close, but can they manage to let each other break down their walls?

I loved this story so much. You’ll laugh from the banter between Caleb and Sadie when it comes to sweet little Lollipop, your heart will feel for Sadie, you’ll swoon over Caleb and how sweet he is. I loved watching their relationship bloom. It wasn’t an easy path, but nothing ever is.

This story was funny, it was sweet with a touch of steaminess and it was real, especially when it comes to Sadie’s past struggles with mental health.
