Publisher's Summary

The New York Times bestselling author of the On Dublin Street series and Hero returns to Scotland in this passionate and evocative romance about love, loss, and surviving both.

Nora O'Brien chased a dream from Indiana to Scotland, so sure it was the right thing to do. Three years later she was left in her adopted country with nothing to her name but guilt and regret.

Until Aidan Lennox entered her life.

Older, worldlier, a music producer and composer, the sexy Scot should never have made sense for Nora. But somehow in each other they found the light they were looking for, the laughter and the passion - the strength to play on despite their past losses.

But when life dealt Aidan another unlucky hand, instead of reaching for her he disappeared. The agonizing loss of him inspired something within Nora. It fired her spirit - the anger and hurt pushing her forward to take control and reach for her dreams.

Finally pursuing a career on stage while she put herself through college, everything is how Nora wants it. She's avoiding heartbreak and concentrating on her goals.

Sounds easy, but it's not. Because Aidan is back. And for some reason he hates Nora.

He's determined to be at war with her.

And she has absolutely no idea why.

Another spectacular book by Samantha Young

When I pick up a Samantha Young novel I know I'm in for a treat. Honestly, she writes characters that you see everyday. The Heroine & the hero of the novels are all beautifully written and they make you love them and cheer for them. I've owned this book for quite sometime but I could never bring myself to read it. I love Samantha Young's novels so much that I tend to get a book hangover anytime I finish it. I just never want the book to end.

I'm glad I picked this book up. I listened to the audiobook & read part of the book. I loved the story and the characters. The plot was fast paced and kept me interested. I was so ravenous with this book I ended up quitting the audiobook simply because I can read faster. I devoured this book. I laughed, I cried, and I almost threw the book as well.

All in all, this was another spectacular book that Samantha Young has written.

This book takes you on a life journey ......

Samantha Young is one of my favorite audio authors. I have her on auto down load because I know that her stories are entertaining in a real life sort of way. This story has charm, love and angst and just enough hotness to make it interesting. The book description pretty much sums up the story. However, this book is a journey of discovery and over coming and accepting choices that are made in life. Definitely worth a credit or sale.

OMG, one of my absolute favorites!

What did you love best about Play On?

It's the overall story and the story line of each character.

What did you like best about this story?

It's simply the characters. They cross paths more than once where it leads to fateful moments. I love that each character has their own story arch that they must over come before they can ever consider being together. They must both heal and sacrifice.

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

No. This one started the obsession though.

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

Yes. It's really more of a heartfelt tearjerker. Between the heart breaking difficulties of both characters, the sweet moments of support and the final fall, you will tear up in more than one part.

Any additional comments?

I can't express how much this novel moved me. It is truly one of my favorite reads. I loved this so much the Kindle version is also in my library. The individual character's stories are what make this book so special. The difficulties are so large, it almost seems so hard to overcome. When the story comes full circle, when what they have is just undeniable, you will truly love this book.

so much whinning, even though love conquers...

didn't really enjoyed this book, nor characters, nor narrator, even though truer to life than most stories

Enjoyable

Initially I struggled to connect but ended up really enjoying it. The narrator is great!

Love love love this!

Samantha Young has done it again. This book brought forth so many different emotions. I was like riding a roller coaster😊😊

Play On

Excellent job by Claire Kilpatrick on a book that I enjoyed even more the second time around .

Good listen if you are in the mood for it.

Wonderfully written. Not a light easy read. Lots of loss and pain. Kept me entertained and I liked it but will not listen to it repeatedly like I have all Samantha Young’s other books.

Just WOW!

I️ really loved this book. The characters were so well-developed that I️ felt like I️ knew them personally and wanted to be sure everyone ended up happy. Awesome!!!
