Getting Played, a magnificent new romance by New York Times bestselling author Emma Chase is LIVE!
Dean Walker is all about keeping life simple. He’s effortlessly talented and intelligent—spending his summers playing drums in the local band and the rest of the year teaching high school in the same Jersey town where he grew up. He likes his love-life simple too, enjoying the commitment-free hook-ups his good looks and sexy charm have always made oh-so easy.
Then he meets Lainey Burrows. And his simple, easy life gets turned upside down.
***
One wild one-night stand was all it was ever supposed to be, so Lainey is shocked when she discovers that her sizzling summer fling is also her son’s new math teacher. But that’s nothing compared to the most unexpected twist of all—their hot hook-up left Lainey knocked-up, and now they’re about to become parents. Together.
What ensues is an addictive, insatiable, sweet and tender romance that won’t be simple, but it will be more than worth the fight.
A stand-alone, contemporary romance.
Review:
4.25 stars
Aww, this was a super sweet read. I really enjoyed this book. Getting Played is Dean and Lainey's story. Lainey is a single mom to a teenage son. She is a lifestyle vlogger and doesn't have a wild life, but a happy, simple one. One night, she is out at a bar with live music when she meets a member of the traveling band, Dean. They have amazing chemistry and have a hot one night stand, which is not Lainey's norm. Neither expect to see each other again and they do not exchange information, instead Lainey expects to look back on the night with fond memories. But life has other plans for them. Lainey finds out she is pregnant, but has no way to contact Dean. She follows through with her plans to move to a new town with her son and renovate an old house for a online show. Her exceptional son is in the super smart track at school and adores his new math teacher. Imagine Lainey's surprise when she meets the teacher and finds out he is Dean, the father of her unborn baby. Dean is shocked, but soon decides he is all-in for his child. Lainey and Dean must figure out how to make their situation work and they fall for each other along the way.
I loved this whole book. I really liked both Dean and Lainey. Dean is part cool, laid back musician who never plans on getting married, has casual hookup buddies and travels with his band every summer, and part very smart, caring, dedicated high school teacher who loves his students. He is willing to take his responsibilities seriously when he finds himself a future father and wants to explore being in a relationship with Lainey, for the first time in years. Lainey is the type person who makes the best of every situation. She has no expectations of Dean and has been a single mom for years so is willing to do it again. But she is willing to give Dean a chance when he tells her he wants one. Also, she is creative, sweet and a good mom. I really liked both of their characters and felt like they were a great match. They had a fun, sexy, mature, and sweet relationship. The two of them had great chemistry, good depth of character and their thoughts and emotions felt very real. If I have one complaint, it was how often Dean's past hookup buddies showed up all over town and caused a little drama. That is not my fave to read about. But it did not hamper my enjoyment of the book. I love a good surprise pregnancy and this was a great one. Also, I really liked the end of the book a lot. It made me cry.
Overall, this was just a great book. Dean and Lainey were sweet and awesome. Their love story was entertaining and fun, sexy and sweet. So far, this series has been great- two for two winners. I look forward to what Ms. Chase comes up with next!
