Playing Games

De: Max Monroe

Narrado por: Teddy Hamilton, Amy Hall

Dickson University’s star quarterback and campus golden boy is used to winning on and off the field…until he meets the one woman who changes the game.

Blake Boden is the ultimate distraction—annoyingly handsome, enigmatic, and confident enough to make my teeth grind.

He’s the kind of guy who could charm anyone with a single smile, and somehow, I’ve become his latest challenge.

Only, I don’t do challenges—and I don’t do love. Emotions? Just chemical reactions. Distractions? Not on my agenda.

But he has a stubborn streak that won’t leave me alone, and I have a dissertation due at the end of the semester on computer-assisted research that I could put to the test a little more.

I’ll analyze his charm, track my reactions, and prove once and for all that attraction is nothing but science…and love is a mere figment of the imagination.

Hypothesis: Time with Blake Boden is purely scientific.
Conclusion: He’s not just breaking my rules—he’s rewriting them.

Playing Games did not play around!!

The 2nd book in the Dickson U series is perfection!! We have known Lexi since the Billionaire Bad Boys series and have watched her grow up and grown into her personality. Now there is someone who loves her for just who she is! Also, all the cameo appearances from some of our favorite characters makes it even better.

Amy Hall & Teddy Hamilton did a phenomenal job of bringing this story to life!!

Lexi’s Story did not disappoint

This was so beautiful. I’ve been waiting for Lexi’s Story forever and it did not disappoint. Blake is perfect for her. Calming. Patient. At ease.

I’m pretty sure I’ll die when we get Ace and Julia’s story 🥹

Great continuation in this saga

Definitely a great continuation in the saga love to see what happened with Lexi, love that they kept their parents involved. Can’t wait for the next book. Definitely listen if you were into Max Monroe books.

Finally Lexi's story!!!

I am a huge Max Monroe fan have read all of her books. Watching Lexi grow up through all the Billionaires and Winslow series I was waiting on Lexi to have her own story and this did not disappoint at all.

My favorite book this year!!!

Playing Games has moved up to my #1 favorite book this year! I was not prepared for how much I was going to love it! I knew I would enjoy it! Max Monroe is a guaranteed good book. You know you’re going to smile and laugh the whole way. Blake is so much more! He’s the quarterback with his future inline with playing professionally. He’s friends with everyone. He knew what he wanted, and boy he got her!!!

I loved Lexi so much! She’s finishing up her second doctoral degree in computer science. This girl loves all things rationale. Blake and Lexi are everything! The chemistry, the feelings, the science to rationalize the feelings… I loved everything!

You have to read/ listen to this book! You will love it!
