READ AND REVIEW
PLAYING IT COOL (SYDNEY SMOKE RUGBY) BY AMY ANDREWS
Release Date: September 12, 2016
SYNOPSIS
Harper Nugent might have a little extra junk in her trunk, but her stepbrother calling her out on it is the last straw… When rugby hottie, Dexter Blake, witnesses the insult, he surprises Harper by asking her out. In front of her dumbass brother. Score! Of course, she knows it’s not for reals, but Dex won’t take no for an answer.
Dexter Blake’s life revolves around rugby with one hard and fast rule: no women. Sure, his left hand is getting a workout, but he's focused on his career for now. Then he overhears an asshat reporter belittle the curvy chick he'd been secretly ogling. What's a guy to do but ask her out? It’s just a little revenge against a poser, and then he'll get his head back in the game.
But the date is better than either expected. So is the next one. And the next. And the heat between them…sizzles their clothes right off.
Suddenly, this fake relationship is feeling all too real…

REVIEW: PLAYING IT COOL (SYDNEY SMOKE RUGBY) BY AMY ANDREWS
Playing It Cool by Amy Andrews
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
We as a society should be disappointed in ourselves. So much attention is given to the superficial that important issues fall by the wayside. A person can have good looks, a fit body and money but an ugly disposition. Cruelty is not a good look for anyone. Playing It Cool tackles the sensitive issues of self worth and body image with accuracy and painful honesty. Harper has endured tragic losses in her young life but nothing hurts more than the constantly bullying her stepfamily heaps on her. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree and her stepbrother Chuck is rotten to the core. Like mother, like son. Dex scored major hero points with the way he treated Harper. Ms. Andrews may not have set out to put the world on blast, but she gave an important voice to a serious problem.
