Publisher's Summary

The last thing event planner Tara Lincoln needs is the jet-set lifestyle of a football pro like Mick Riley, even though their steamy and passionate one-night stand proved that Mick is an all-star - both on the field and in the bedroom.

Tara played the game of love once and lost big, and she doesn't intend to put herself out there again, especially with a certified heartbreaker. But when Mick sets his mind to win, nothing will stop him. And he has the perfect play in mind to catch this sultry vixen.

What the Critics Say

"In the hands of the talented Burton, the characters leap off the page and the romance sparkles as the sex sizzles." (Romantic Times)

    I've always been a avid reader so now I'm a avid listener. I prefer the paranormal genre but I do like to switch things up. It's boring if you don't have variety. Of course I do love the romance and the hotter the better. Also, you can't beat a good thriller filled with suspense and a ending you can't even guess at until the very end.

    "I think this is most women's fantasy!!"
    Would you listen to The Perfect Play again? Why?

    Um... YES!! I listened in almost one sitting!! I had to turn it off because I couldn't stay awake anymore :) I didn't want to miss anything!


    What did you like best about this story?

    Being a mother myself, I can put myself in Tarah's shoes. Her son means everything to her and she wars with herself about being completely devoted to him or to allow herself happiness for the first time in her life.


    What does Lucy Malone bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    Lucy told an amazing story! You know who she is at every point, there is no confusion about who is speaking. I just got lost in the story, not in trying to figure what she was doing right or wrong.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    It did make me a little teary at several points.

    "Super Sexy Story"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    Yes I would. It has good story and super steamy!


    What did you like best about this story?

    I love contemporary book series. This is my first book by Jaci and I will defiantly listen to the next in the series.


    Which scene was your favorite?

    Mick picks up Tara son from the party after he is smashed and is truthful about his addiction issues.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    I was moved by Tara's fierce concern for her son and how she did not want her son to be used by Mick or the team. I also liked how she was accepted by Mick's family.

    Wife to sometimes neglected husband (due to listening to audiobooks) and mother to adult children. I am a relatively recent avid reader/listener, only really starting to read for pleasure a few years ago but now am thoroughly addicted.

    "I had higher expectations."

    This was an okay listen, but I had higher expectations given the reviews of the book itself. I don't know why but the female main character bothered me a lot. I understand the psychology of her actions and behaviors but it was almost more than I could handle. I will not be purchasing any more of this series.

    Would you listen to The Perfect Play again? Why?

    Yes, I would. It was a really good book.


    What did you like best about this story?

    That Mick was not perfect. That he had issues and was able to deal with them and rise above them.


    Have you listened to any of Lucy Malone’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    No, This was my first book read by her.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

    Love on the 50 yard line.


    Any additional comments?

    Nice book with lots of passionate love scenes. Over all I thought it was very good. The narrator was good but not the best I have hear. Tavia Gilbert has spoiled me for all other female narrators.

    I love books and love to get lost in the fantasy. I'm always looking for a new good story to bury myself in. :)

    "Great story!"

    This was a great book. It's a great start to the series. It really made me want to see what happens to other characters in their books.

    Tara is a single mother of a 14 yr old son. She's very protective and tends to push guys away to concentrate on her son and her business doing event planning. During an event she put together for the football team she meets Mick. They hit it off and she spends the night with him but then she tries to run off the next morning. Mick wasn't satisfied letting things stop there and searches her out.

    Mick is just awesome...he's made some mistakes in the past but is a great guy. He's never been in a real relationship but when he meets Tara he can't not see her again. He has to get past some stiff resistance from Tara to get trusted enough to meet her son and be in her life but he did his best to be a good part of their lives and a good influence on her son, Nathan.

    To be perfectly honest I wanted to give this book 5 stars but Tara but a bit too afraid for me to feel comfortable going 5 stars. She jumps to the wrong conclusion and pushes Mick away on multiple occasions and overall it's because she's scared. I understand that but she hurt herself, Mick and her son in the mean time while she was being scared and miserable. On the good side, after her son has a serious talk with her, she does come to her senses and does apologize to Mick.

    This was a great book. It made me want to run right out and read the next book immediately. The only reason I haven't bought it yet is that it's about Liz and Gavin and Liz was a total b*tch in this bookso I almost hate to read her story because then I might regret Gavin getting with her or, worse yet, I might ends up liking her... But I think the draw it too great and I'll be breaking down and buy it anyways because I'm sure Jaci will do a good job with it. I saw the next book is available for pre-order on Audible...I hear the pre-order button calling me...

    The Perfect Play was just great and I enjoyed it a lot. I will be reading it (listening to it) again and would recommend it. :D

    "Keep your head in the Game"
    If you could sum up The Perfect Play in three words, what would they be?

    Hot, hard, sexy


    What other book might you compare The Perfect Play to and why?

    these are considered more erotica than a core romance, must like hot love stories


    How did the narrator detract from the book?

    not the best reading voice. The dialogue has carried the author work


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    good entertainment

    To bad, cute story but sex scenes to slimy for my taste. Hate a book that I have to keep skipping chapters. Quit listening to it and will not be buying anymore by this author. If you like this kind of writing? Well fine what ever float's your boat. Just not my cup of tea by any means. And I will stick with more classy talented authors !!
