Just when I think I have gotten my fill of the wicked tattoo artists, she comes back with more deliciousness! These Rebel Ink men are tattooed on my heart.
Play You was an incredible story of a second chance romance. These characters, Piper and Dawson, have had a tragic past and have completely lost touch with each other. When they come back into each other’s lives it’s like worlds collide, with all these emotions and feeling rushing back. You are constant on edge hoping neither Piper or Dawson get hurt, physically and emotionally. Dawson and Piper were steamy, whew! They can make your temperature rise. This was a strong book. It shows love can be more powerful and mean more than family.
This was such a great book to finish out this series! If you haven’t read this book yet, definitely do so! If you haven’t started this series, go start it, these characters will make you swoon! I’m definitely looking forward to where Tracy is gonna go next, I don’t think we have seen the last of these tattoo artists.

Play you is the forth and final book in Tracy Lorraine‘s Rebel Ink series.
And she ended it with a bang. We‘ve all been waiting for D‘s story and I honestly didn‘t expect it to be this tragic!
Play you starts a few weeks after Emmie D‘s daughter moves in with him. After years of not having alot of say in his daughters upbringing he just wants the best for her even if he makes a few mistakes along the line.
Entering Piper Hill. She‘s a counselor/teacher at Emmie‘s new school but when she sees her new student and her father her world comes crashing down hard. Because Piper and Dawson share a past and it‘s not a good one.
I enjoyed Dawson and Piper‘s story alot. From the first page you could already see their love for eachother and their passion was just off the charts.
I can‘t wait to get a possible spin off with Dawsons daughter.

This comes a close second out of my favourites in this series. I love the premise. I love the story. Easy to read and very enjoyable.

Play You is the last book in the Rebel Ink series. I have loved this series, and am sad to see it go. However I am very excited to see what happens next! This book is told from dual points of view from Dawson and Piper.
Dawson and Piper were sweethearts in high school, however then there was an accident and Dawson is led to believe that Piper died along with her parents. His father is the head of a gang and Dawson decides he wants out of that life. Piper and her parents died. Or so Dawson thought.
Now years later Dawson just got custody of his 16 year old daughter and he will do whatever he can to give her the life she deserves which includes going to the best school he can find. He found out he will get his inheritance when he is engaged but didn’t worry about it before but now that his daughter is with him he starts thinking about that again.
When he’s getting is daughter registered for school he runs into Piper. It’s like seeing a ghost. Piper has been on the run fearing Dawson’s father is coming after her. Now that he knows she’s alive she fears for her life. Dawson starts making a plan to have her fall in love with him to get his inheritance. However along the way real feelings develop again.
Can they work through their past and stay together like they planned when they were younger? Or will Dawson’s family get in the way? This book was so good. I couldn’t put it down and I can’t wait for the next book by this author.

I have read a good number of books from this author by Play You is hands down my favorite. There was something about these characters and their story that just stayed with me long after I finished this book.
I'm not gonna lie, I was so mad when Dawson first came up with his revenge plan but I couldn't stay mad. Learning about the past, it was easy to see he was more hurt than anything. I liked that the characters were actually able to communicate with each other bout the past, normally things just blow up and that's that but I knew the author wouldn't let us down. The chemistry between these two was amazing! With D trying to implement his plan for revenge it didn't take long for things to heat up between these two.
Overall I loved the story, I personally feel its the best in the series! I loved seeing some of the other characters from past books. I'm also hoping we will see these characters again in the future, even if this series is potentially done maybe she can have them pop up somewhere else.

Play You by Tracy Lorraine, in my opinion, is probably one of her BEST books she's ever written...and that's saying something since I love her Rosewood High series.
First, this book was about Dawson aka D and his childhood sweetheart, Piper. With a Romeo and Juliet type history drenched in lies and betrayals, the last person Dawson expects to see at his daughter's new posh school is the woman he thought died 17 years earlier. Filled with pain and anger, Dawson vows to play her like she played him...and it was straight

Dawson and Piper were the ultimate star-crossed lovers, being from rival families and having hurt each other dreadfully in the past, and I loved every page of their story!
D is a playboy tattoo artist, who isn’t bothered that he won’t gain his inheritance until he’s engaged, until his teenage daughter Emmie comes to live with him. Wanting to give her the best start at life, he sends her to a private school in London, and on enrolment day, bumps into a ghost from his past. Piper was his only love who he thought had died after betraying him in the worst way, but there she was in front of him like nothing had changed. He realises this is his perfect opportunity to exert revenge; use her to get his inheritance and then finish what was started 18 years ago. But he doesn’t plan for falling in love with her all over again. At first, Piper is scared when D is back in her life, but when he starts to woo her, she thinks all is forgiven and it’s a second chance at a life together. But others from their past have different ideas to destroy them all over again, so will it work?
D wanted revenge by destroying Piper’s heart like she did to him, but he soon realised he had always loved her, no matter how hard he tried to keep his eye on the goal. Piper was worried about the repercussions of having D back in her life after her actions as a teen, but she quickly rebuilt the trust she had lost when she let him down, and ultimately, she was the one with the most to lose. Her relationship with Emmie was so pure, two strong women with D wrapped around their little fingers!
I loved the lack of miscommunication over the major event in their past, unlike in most books of this trope where there’s always a big misunderstanding which separated them for so long. Instead, D and Piper were honest about the betrayal from the start, making them seem like a more genuine couple, even though there were secrets throughout. I can’t believe this is the end of the series, but I need Emmie’s book ASAP! Second generation maybe Tracy?

I really enjoyed Dawson and Piper’s story. I really wasn’t sure where it would take us, but I was thrilled with how it turned out.
Dawson and Piper met each other as teenagers and their families tore them apart. Now, Dawson is trying to step in and set his daughter, Emmie, up for a good education. Dawson enrols Emmie at Knight Ridge school where Piper works, and neither Dawson nor Piper are prepared to run into each other again.
Dawson and Piper have so much tension and unresolved issues, you don’t want to miss out on this steamy read!
I can’t wait for Emmie’s story.
