Book Obsessed Reviews: The Perfect Play by Jaci Burton

The Perfect Play took a while for me to warm up to it. I think it was around chapter 13 or 15 before I actually got into it.

Mick and Tara set the sheets, among other things, on fire throughout the entire book. there was loads and loads of steamy sex. They had great chemistry in and out of the bedroom. Although they had great chemistry, they were a bit boring at times.

I enjoyed the fact that Mick wasn't perfect, because from the outside looking in, it sure appeared that way. Both he and Tara had troubled past. I liked Mick from the start, but Tara and I had our moments. Her back and forth attitude became a little annoying, especially near the end.

I adored Mick's family. His mother, father, sister, and brother were such warm, welcoming characters. Elizabeth, Mick's agent, provided me with all the entertainment. I loved her interaction with both Mick and Tara, although I didn't really care for her as a person because of her meddling. I do look forward to seeing how she redeems herself in the next installment.

Great cover, not so great story

I would have rated it 2 stars but the cover is worth a bonus star :)

I never felt connected to Mick or Tara. Mick and Tara were a little too perfect to be believable and Tara was a lot too neurotic. The sex scenes were hot but all the talking during sex was too much and extremely repetitive. I got tired of seeing the same words over and over again, my unofficial count is 93 F words describing the act, 92 C words describing his genitalia, and 64 P words describing her genitalia. Don't get me wong, I like those words but it got a little old reading the same dialogue in every sex scene. Especially when the sex scenes are half the book!

The story happening outside the bedroom was OK. Tara irritated me by the way she blew everything out of proportion and made it a crisis. I wanted to slap her more than once. I don't know what else to say, it was just an OK book for me. I'll be reading the next one at some point so obviously it wasn't a horrible book. I think Gavin and Liz will be more interesting characters
