walls.

Our Review:
“The hometown boy and the musician, 3 stars”
Ellie may have been blessed with a privileged live but its always had strings attached. She’s been groomed to be one way but craves a life in the opposite direction. Will she cash in her cush life and live in the unknown trying to make her dream come true? Or will she settle for less than what she wants out of life?
Lee is dependable. He’s the kind of guy who stays. He’s loyal to a fault. But just this once he wants to live a little dangerously by being with the girl who craves adventure. A broken heart is possible, but will it be worth it? What happens when a ghost from his past comes crashing forward? Everything is up in the air in Play Me.
I did like Lee and Ellie but at times I was frustrated with them and how the story just seemed to play out. I wanted more than what I got out of the story but it was still a quality story. Some of the secondary characters were awesome and some were less than stellar. My heart hurt for Ellie at times and for Lee as well. From the title I thought there would be more of a musician aspect but there wasn’t. This story was good, but I just couldn’t fall into it.

EXCERPT
Lee POV
Every moment I’m with her she plays on my heart
strings, strumming the chords of a song I desperately want her to sing.
Play me.
I’ve been so careful to not let our worlds collide.
I’ve kept a protective barrier up, but I can’t help but want to break it back
down, busting through the walls to expose what could be.
Us.
I need her, but taking Ellie would only be selfish,
sealing our hearts to a disastrous fate. And as much as I want to worship every single inch of her body, I can’t.
I won’t. It would destroy us both.
So, I lay here, because she asked me for the one thing
I couldn’t deny her.
To stay.
Stay and be the man she needs to me to be.
Support her.
Protect her.
Don’t leave her.
Even if it destroys me, I will give her this. Not only
because she has never felt any of these things, but because I haven’t either,
and just for once, I’m going to throw all hopes and fears out the window and
hold on. Even if it’s just for one night.
Rolling over to my side. I watch the girl who flipped
my world upside down with one little swivel of a stool. Padding across the room
in her barely there boy shorts and tiny tank she leaves nothing to the
imagination.
With each step closer, I find my resolve slipping. The
spark within igniting the flame. Her smile, the fuel.
“Hey.” Her voice is quiet, but the underlying meaning
is heard loud and clear.
“Hi,” I say as I pull back the covers and she begins
to climb in.
She’s lying on her back, and I know she is wondering
what will happen next, but I told her, warned her, nothing could.
Nothing.
I say the word over again in my head, reminding myself
of the reasons why, but now I’m wondering if it’s the right thing to do or am I just running from the truth?
“Look at me.”
She rolls over to face me, her mouth calling to me. Her body screaming for me.
For me.
One taste—one kiss to punish my memory.
Reaching out, I lift her chin and whisper the promise
across her lips. “I’m here.”
“You are,” she agrees, breathing life I didn’t know I
lost back into me. Closing my eyes, I inhale all she has to give. “Kiss me.”
And I do.
AUTHOR BIO
Cary Hart hails from the Midwest. A sassy, coffee
drinking, sometimes sailor swearing (Shhh… don’t tell.), wine sipping, Spotify
addict, lover of all things books!
When not pushing women down the stairs in the fictional
world, Cary has her hands full. She is blessed to be the sports mom of two wild
and crazy, spoiled kiddos, and wife to the most supportive husband (took a few
years to train). In addition to working full time, she bakes cookies on the
side to fund her newly found love of writing and to keep her Sephora VIB Rouge
status. The addiction is real, folks!
Believe it or not, writing was never a dream for Cary.
Reading was something she never enjoyed growing up. All it took was one friend,
who went MIA for a weekend on a book binge, to share her passion and loan an
ebook, lighting a fire inside her. Two
years, and hundreds of ebooks later, she connected with one of her favorite
authors, who patiently listened to her plot ideas. Her encouragement and saying
those three little words “You write it!” changed everything!
So, welcome! Hop on board, and enjoy the ride!
