Play Dirty by Sandra Brown
1.0
It was so boring I fell asleep three times while reading. The story, the plot, the characters were all ridiculous! Don’t get me wrong, I know Sandra Brown can write a mean romantic suspense but this? This doesn’t get close to her best books. The hero was so unlikable. Sure he was in prison for a crime he actually HAD committed. That means he’s truly guilty huh? That already makes him a bad guy. He had no redeeming qualities over the arc of the story. Nothing to indicate that he turned over a new leaf or he even regrets doing the crime in the first place! He’s as obnoxious as he was at the beginning. And the romance? Sorry to say but that was total BS. There was literally no emotional connection between Griff and Laura. Nothing. The sex scenes were disgusting. I hated the way it was described, how miserable Laura had felt, lying limp and unresponsive under him while he gets off inside her. It was sickening. They never kissed, never exchanged any sentimental comments, had no chemistry. And suddenly Griff was sad when the affair ended and she was pregnant? Why? Because one time she was upset at her husband and he wiped her tears? I couldn’t finish it at the end because I just couldn’t take it anymore.
One more thing. Laura loved her husband right? The how could she fall for another man just like that? She’s been there for him during his hard times. Granted that his physical disability did not make a good love life. But she just abandoned him for a stranger who got her off once. Never mind. Their relationship was unrealistic anyways. They hardly knew each other to even have real feelings
*Correction: I went ahead and skimmed the last few pages. Turns out Griff didn’t even throw the game. Whatever. I still didn’t like him. Why the hell did he even go to prison for a crime he didn’t commit? I thought this was a pathetic excuse for the author to redeem this character. To actually show that he’s a good person. But I honestly didn’t even care.
