πŸ’ Play Dirty (L.A Phantoms #5) πŸ’ Kat Mizera πŸ’

 


:  

Falling for her is a risk I shouldn’t be willing to take… but I didn’t get to the top of my game my backing down.

Ten years, three kids, and what I thought was unshakable marriage—until she slept with one of my teammates. The divorce left me reeling.

Trust isn’t something I give freely anymore.

Now, all that matters is fighting for custody of my kids, while my ex tries to take them and move across the country.

The last thing I need is someone like A stunning model with a troubled past, no interest in kids, and baggage even heavier than mine.

One dance at a wedding changed everything. I can’t get this woman out of my head.

I’m not looking for more complications, but walking away from her isn’t an option either.

Not when I can’t tell where I stop and she starts…or if playing dirty is my only shot at making her mine.


CW This book contains flashbacks to domestic violence and pregnancy loss. These events take place before the hero and heroine meet. As always in my books, there is an HEA for the couple.

This is my first Kat Mizera book - yep, I am one of those people.  I have seen their books around for ages, just never dived in.

Marty and Stevie's story was a great way to get into the world of the LA Phantoms (even though I was missing a few of the finer nuances of the wider world of the Phantoms, but that was fine).

Our lovelies story is not an easy one a lot of the time.  They both show that no matter what people see from the outside, not all that is looking shiny and wonderful is what it seems.

Oh, the trauma that both have suffered - are suffering to this day - will have you full of hurt, but also full of hope.

It is a very emotional journey that we are taken on. However, through all that emotion, there is hope. Hope for themselves, hope for each other, and hope for the future.

I loved the rest of the team and the family they have made.

And I loved how they showed that sometimes you have to play dirty to get what you deserve.

I enjoyed this story, and I will be reading more in the future, and will head back to read the previous stories.
