Book Review – Play by Kylie Scott

06/02/2014

Play Kylie Scott

Play (Stage Dive Series #2) by Kylie Scott

Funny contemporary romance. Can stand alone well

I have had Play by Kylie Scott on my Kindle for a while.  Until Joanne (she helps out here at Ana’s Attic) said I HAD to read it, and how happy it made her. She always knows what books are for me. I don’t love dark books, but a happy, sexy read? Bam, that’s for me. So if Joanne says it, I have to read it. So there went my carefully planned TBR list (what else is new?)

THANK YOU JOANNE! One of my favorite books this year!!!!

I read Lick, the first book in the Stage Dive Series while I was on following my son on tour last summer. I like to read rock star books when he tours, but when I finally got around to reviewing it when we got home, I didn’t really remember much of it, so I honestly did not recall Mal from Lick, but it didn’t matter one bit.

A sexy book that makes me smile the whole time and laugh is the perfect book to me, and Play is just that.

599187

A big key to me loving a book is bonding with and loving the heroine. In this case, I fell for Anne the minute the book started, and started highlighting some of her quotes before the adorably funny Mal even entered the picture.

“I’m the drummer from Stage Dive. I don’t get kept awake by other people having wild sex. I keep them awake. I keep entire fucking neighborhoods awake.” ~Mal

Anne was shy, a little nerdy, and definitely a bit of a pushover. Her roommate just took off leaving her with a month of back rent, when she agrees to go with a neighbor (who is friend’s with Ev from book 1) to a Stage Dive party. Anne was a HUGE fan of the drummer as a teen.

“The pinnacle moment of my life was officially upon me. So I might have had one or two photos of Stage Dive on my wall when I was a teenager. Fine, maybe there were three. Or twelve. Whatever.”

So when Mal overheard Anne on a phone call at the party and starts up a conversation with her, her inner voice was cracking me up:

“God I hated people who smirked. Apparently I also wanted to lick them all over because my mouth started watering.”

“…Someone should slap me. If I kept this up, I would slap me. Hard.”

Malcolm struck up the most random, and kind of awkward conversation with Anne, despite her giving him “crazy eyes”.  And halfway into the conversation…

“Whatever you’re imagining, it’s bigger.”
“I’m not imagining anything.” 
“I’m serious, it’s basically a monster. I cannot control it.”
“Malcolm…”
“You’re pretty much going to need a whip and a chair to tame it, Anne.”
“Stop it.”

I swear, I sat there giggling like a schoolgirl right along with Anne! Mal was just this playful, fun manchild who was so endearing, that I was head over heels for him in moments. Banter for the win! I LOVE banter in a book, and Mal could have been renamed Mr. Banter (instead, his name is actually ‘Lord of the Sex!’)

By the end of the party, Malcolm was loudly and dramatically claiming his love and devotion for Anne, but it all seemed like a big drunk joke. Until she comes home the next day to find Mal moved in to her apartment.

“You’re moving in with me?”

“Yes, pumpkin. I am moving in with you.”

“When did we talk about this exactly?”

“Actually, you might have left by then. But it doesn’t change the facts.”

The apartment building has VERY thin walls, which means neighbors hear everything. And Mal couldn’t have neighbors getting more action than him.

“We’ve broken my bed,” I said, stating the obvious.
“In battle, sacrifices must be made, pumpkin.”….
“They’re mocking us,” I said.
“Nonsense. We just fucked so hard we broke your bed. They wish they were us. The natural order of sexual status has been restored.” 

I just loved Malcolm’s silliness so much! There wasn’t a huge deep storyline at the beginning, but you know there is something simmering. Malcolm, who is always the life of the party, had way more going on. There was sadness behind the antics, and it took a while to learn about it. But I had no problem with the wait!

“Hello, Anne’s clitoris, it is me, Malcom, your lord and master”
“Oh, god, no.” I covered my face with my hands. “Please don’t.”
“Shh. This is a private conversation.”
He brushed hot feverish kisses up and down the lips of my sex. My stomach tensed so hard it hurt.
“Look at you all pretty, pink and excited. Don’t worry, I’ll look after you.”
“If you don’t stop talking to my vagina I’m going to kill you.”
“You’re beautiful Anne’s pussy. Just beautiful. And I’m not mean like her. I’m on your side and I love you very much.”

There was some serious moments and some sad moments, but all in all, I must say that Mal’s silliness stole the show for me.

He grabbed the back of my head, dragging the length of his warm, damp tongue up the side of my face. I froze against the onslaught. “You did not just do that.”
“It’s a sign of affection. You think I salivate on just anyone?”
“You… I can’t even.”
“There are women who would kill to have me licking their face. You do not begin to appreciate just how lucky you are to have my spit. Now lick me back.” He pointed to jaw demandingly. “Anne, do it. Do it now before I get offended.” 

 Likes:

  • I fell in love with Anne, she was so real, and her inner voice was funny as hell.
  • Malcolm is one of my favorite book boyfriends ever.
  • BANTER!!! I absolutely love good banter!
  • It wasn’t pure silliness, there was some emotion mixed it.
  • It was a year since I read Lick, and I’m glad I didn’t really need to remember any of it, though now I wish I had time to re-read them both.
  • He called her ‘Pumpkin’–Mr. Ana calls me that. I used to not be a fan, now I don’t mind a bit.
  • This was a pure candy read–just written to make you feel good and happy.

Dislikes: 

  • Absolutely nothing.

Rating: 5++++ Stars, 4 Heat

Flame_FOUR copy

Play by Kylie Scott is a book I would love to read again (if I ever get time for a re-read again in my life!). It is just perfect for my tastes, it had everything I love – characters I adore, laugh-out-loud scenes, hot sexy times, tons of banter, and just an all-around fun and sexy read.

shitballs

I’m so excited that Lead comes out at the end of July. Perfect timing, I’ll be a tour groupie again!

    Happy Birthday! I love this book also, Mal is so different than the same old, same old rock hero, and because of that it made him more endearing to me. I love a book with great banter also and this is my all time favorite, how could you even begin to weed thru quotes to post!? I would adore an autographed copy, thanks for the chance to win!

    This may be one of my favorite books ever! You’re not kidding about the banter, it’s genius! I remembered Mal from Lick calling Ev ‘child bride’. He was one of the best secondary characters ever!

    It’s one of a few books I’d like to turn back time to re read again for the first time!

I love how @kristenashleybooks can write a differe I love how @kristenashleybooks can write a different genre and completely nail it. I love how The Girl In The Woods is different from all of her other books, yet still has that Kristen Ashley feel. I loved how Kristen surprised me and didn’t follow the expected formula.
The town of Misted Pines is a bit crazy, but let me tell you, if there is another dead resident, I’ll be gobbling up that story as well. I don’t wish anyone dead but…..

Sometimes a book that works for everyone else just Sometimes a book that works for everyone else just doesn’t hit me right. I had really high hopes for this book about a marriage in trouble, especially because I really like the author. Sadly, it just didn’t work for me.

I love the unique storyline of this debut solo nov I love the unique storyline of this debut solo novel from Joe Arden, and I especially love when the narrator narrates their own book and I love male POV books written by an actual male! I had a few issues (which you’ll see in the review), but overall I really enjoyed this one, and it is staying in my memory because it was different.

Do you love cooking reality shows? If so, you shou Do you love cooking reality shows? If so, you should check out Sadie on a Plate by Amanda Elliot. I loved being behind-the-scenes at a cooking reality show! There is a romance, but it’s way more about the exciting cooking show. The heroine is Jewish and there is a very diverse cast.

I started Throttled by Lauren Asher last year and I started Throttled by Lauren Asher last year and it was taking me forever to read, then the audiobook released and I switched over at about 60%. That’s when the book really picked up for me. The new season of Drive to Survive starts on #netflix next week and #formula1 starts the week after. I’m so excited for the new season! I am hoping that more of this series releases on audio soon because I love being in the #F1 world.

Another book I really wanted to love, but it was j Another book I really wanted to love, but it was just OK for me. I did love the heroine’s business of awesome salads in a cup! A Guide to Being Just Friends by Sophie Sullivan was not labeled as book 3 in a series, and it was. Though it was able to stand alone, I think I missed a connection because I didn’t read the first two.
