Summary
SHE'S PLAYING WITH FIRE…
From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Just My Luck and Both Of You, this instant bestseller is irresistible, unputdownable and the nearest thing you'll get to an affair without actually having one…
If you loved Adele Parks's Sunday Times No. 1 bestseller Lies Lies Lies, you won't want to miss Connie's story in Playing Away…
Connie Green's life should be perfect. She's married to gentle, loving Luke, has a good job and really fabulous friends. She thinks she can't be happier.
But she's just met John Harding.
Spectacularly unsuitable and overwhelmingly sexy, he's about to destroy her peace of mind and her happily ever after, yet she just can't seem to resist.
And to have any chance of clearing her head, Connie needs to get out of John's bed…

Loved the story but the ending was abrupt & a bit disappointing
I really enjoyed this story & the ending is as you’d like but the ending came very quickly & ended abruptly which left me a little disappointed.

shallow storyline
There are too many unlikeable shallow characters and a lack of plot. Not a book to get your teeth into.

Absolutely dreadful!
Can’t imagine after a few chapters how I could bear to listen further. No substance whatsoever!

Couldn’t finish it
This is the worst book I have listened to in a while. It is difficult to get into and then when you do it’s like it has been written by a teenager. I couldn’t take any more of the accounts of the sexual liaisons, they were about as sexy as a bad cold. Have given up and will return it half listened to.

Absolute garbage
A very unlikeable, self-obsessed main character and a ridiculous plot line. The constant references to sex through the book are badly written and painful to listen to. Ending was predicable and silly. Don't bother

Brilliant
Different from anything I had read / listened to before, definitely not a Mills and Boon. Had previously read Lies, Lies, Lies and thoroughly enjoyed it, so my next choice had to be another Adele Park. Playing Away, was brilliant.
