Review: Another Halle Favorite - Quotes of Note: "'Don't compare yourself to others, only to the person you were yesterday.'" - Page 46 "Privacy is everyone's given right, and the problem with the world today is the fact that everyone thinks they have a right to it, too." - Page 60 "'You only get one life. Well, two lives. the second one starts the moment you realize you only have one.'" - Page 134 "She's a riptide. I'm just a man without oars." - Page 151 "Everything is always more clear in the dark." - Page 186 "We could take time and stretch it between our fingers and spend an eternity in each other's arms." - Page 249 "'You're ruining me to the very ground, can't you see, but there's nothing else I want more than to be at your feet.'" - Page 470 Opinion: As always, Karina Halle knows just how to cut you to the core. I must admit, I had extremely high expectations before reading this book. Knowing Halle had felt such a special connection while writing, I expected excellence. In other words, I expected a leading man that could compete with Mateo, and a story that could hold its own against Love, In English. (For those of you that don't know, Love, In English is another novel by Halle. Mateo is the leading man in it, and he is arguably my favorite book boyfriend of all-time.) And I am so thrilled to say that The Play achieved both of those things; this book is Halle's new masterpiece, and Lachlan McGregor can hold his own against any man - whether fictional or real. I was most impressed by the poetic wording and the profound one-liners that Halle incorporated throughout the story. I tried to give a little taste in the Quotes of Note section of my review. I believe that in this way, Halle's writing has matured greatly - not that it was immature or unrefined to begin with. Far from it. But I did detect a seriousness and a soulfulness in this novel that I hadn't detected as deeply in any of her others. One thing that Halle has always been impeccable at is creating complicated and surprising characters. Lachlan and Kayla were no different in this case. Both characters were not only complicated and intriguing, but their faults often came as unexpected twists. As an aspiring writer, I love it when a story or a character surprises me. Perhaps that's why I enjoy reading novels by Karina Halle so much. Apart from their complications and their quirks, Lachlan and Kayla also had such depth. Whenever I review one of Halle's novels, I always comment on how realistic her characterization is. Her characters are so relatable. Whether it's Kayla's fear of love, or Lachlan's fear of abandonment, both characters experience worries and faults that any person can realistically empathize with. But I think my absolute favorite thing about the characters that Halle creates is how she is able to capture the feeling of being totally lost and at a loss for what to do about it. A lot of times that feeling translates into many different things; Kayla's unhappiness about her career choice, Lachlan's reliving of past nightmares, Kayla's grief, Lachlan's guilt, etc. In most novels within the Romance genre, everything seems to work out. But Halle creates a world that's more realistic. That isn't to say that things never work out. It just means that the characters don't always have everything figured out - even at the end. And above all else, I appreciate that because it's the truth. This is most definitely one of Halle's longer novels - if not the longest. Because of this, I was initially apprehensive about how the pacing would develop, but as always, Karina Halle rises to the challenge. I felt as if I were propelled through the story naturally. Halle also breaks up a lot of the intense moments with quite a few sexy and steamy ones. Those particular moments were exactly as I just described them - sexy and steamy. But I also think they were all perfectly placed. Another Romance novel trope is an overabundance of sex and a lack of a true storyline. But Karina Halle finds a perfect balance between both and created a story that captivates and a romance that entertains. It was truly a pleasure reading another beautiful novel by Karina Halle. I enjoyed The Play immensely, and I absolutely cannot wait to read The Lie (which releases in a month). I only wish I had read it sooner. After accepting two jobs within the last three months, I haven't had as much time to dedicate to my reading. But The Play was always at the very top of my TBR List, and I suggest you all put it at the top of yours as well. Overall, I give this a 4.5/5 star rating, only because I'm comparing it to my favorite book by Halle (Love, In English). Love, In English may be my favorite, but The Play comes in as a close second. Happy reading.
Review: A solid 4 Stars - I really wanted to give this book five stars. Really. The story was great. It left me intrigued when I would put it down, waiting til the time that I was able to pick it back up again. There were moments of sadness, laughter, anger... all of the emotions you love to feel in a story. Lachlan, the hero, was troubled and sexy, brooding and loveable. I couldn't get enough of him. My heart broke for what he'd been through and swelled when he tried so hard to be the man that his woman needed. Kayla, the heroin, was sassy and funny. I like that she owned her sexuality and wasn't afraid to put all her attitude out there for the world to see, love it o hate it. What bothered me about her was that she came off as a little childish and whiney at times. It's a great thing to be strong and capable and ready to take life by the horns. But she complained a lot to herself about "what if love's not enough?" and "how am I supposed to deal with this?" and "I just don't know...." That started to bother me a bit. But that's not really why I felt I had to give this book four stars. What did it for me was that for the first 80% of the book, everything was really well written. Then it seemed as if the editing just kind of slacked off. There were wrong words, wrong word usage, missing words... not in every paragraph, but enough that it was noticeable. Plus most of the book there was talk about Kayla's four brothers. But in one spot, just one, it talked about her *5* brothers. That shouldn't have been overlooked. So for those complaints, I gave the book 4 stars. Did I like the story? Yes Would I recommend it? Yes Will I read it again? Maybe... if I can prepare and make myself overlook those few problems. Because they really get under my skin.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A passionate sexy and emotionally driven romance!!!! A must read!!!
*by M***H on November 4, 2015*

“Tell me what you want, love,” I tell her, my voice rough with lust. “Tell me what you want and I’ll give you what I have.” Stunning. Captivating. Breathtakingly Beautiful. Emotionally Consuming. These are a few words that comes to mind after reading THE PLAY by Karina Halle. There aren't enough words to describe how much I LOVE this book. Seriously, I loved loved loved L.O.V.E.D this book!!!! Hands down this book will make my list of favorite reads of 2015. I have read almost every book written from this author and I will continue to support her because Karina Halle has always been an author, who never fails to deliver the best literary creation. And she definitely did just that with THE PLAY. Karina delivered a story full of passion, heart, emotions, and raw characters. As a reader, you are immediately spellbound and consumed with her gorgeous prose. You can get easily lost with her words and storyline as she paints a vivid beautiful literary creation that can capture your heart and touch your soul. “He's probably the most stunning man I've ever laid eyes on, and I immediately want to rub myself all over his face. If that's not love, I don't know what is.” Just reading the prologue alone, I was already consumed with emotions and I knew immediately this book will hold me hostage. Yes, THE PLAY is considered a romance story but I think what made it stand out was how the characters were written. Lachlan McGregor and Kayla Moore were much more than two strangers falling in love. It was like two kindred spirits finally finding the person to complete the missing piece in their hearts, soul, and mind. I love getting lost in a book and being able to connect and feel for the characters. There is something the way, Ms. Halle held me hostage as I felt every fiber of mixed emotions, hurt, loneliness, pain, lost, and love coursing through Lachlan and Kayla. “Kayla…you’re my girl. You’re my beautiful world. And I’m whatever you want me to be, just as long as you know that I have never, ever felt this way about someone in my entire life.” He lowers his face, eyes focused intently on my lips. “I’m losing myself in you. Every day. And it’s the most wonderful, terrifying feeling in the world.” I honestly don't want to say much to spoil the storyline but I will just say this: Karina Halle DELIVERED. If you want a book brimming with passion, heat, sexiness, steam, and dirty talks, then this book has that and so much more. And if you want a story that is filled with raw emotions, tangible and palpable connections that can tug those heartstrings and hold you hostage then this is the book for you. The writing is flawless. The storyline is phenomenal. And lastly, this book is everything what I craved in a romance book. Thank you Karina Halle for once again gifting your fans and readers with another McGregor boy to love. ~Michelle of Four Chicks Flipping Pages
