Since we all know things are seldom that simple, read on! Aaron Major had a career most only dream of, but too many all-nighters - booze, parties, easy women - took its toil on both his body and his career. After crashing and burning, he decided to step away from the limelight and take time to find himself and his music again - find out what's real and what's not. Aaron moves in across the hall and first meets his sexy neighbor as she tries to find her keys after an all-nighter of her own - and drops her lacy panties out of her purse. Well, isn't that intriguing? Believing that this was the kind of woman that was part of the life he had left behind, Aaron steers clear of the temptation of Melody Sharp . . . until she finds herself locked out of her apartment for non-payment of the rent. Aaron has no choice but to invite her into his apartment and allow her to stay a couple of nights - that turns into a few weeks. And so, these two damaged people begin an erotic dance - swaying back and forth between physical desire and their need for something more . . . something real, something that lasts. He helps her by giving her a place to live, and she repays him by convincing the Elite PR firm where she works to take him on as a client - with her managing his PR. And so the fun, hot sex, and array of misunderstandings begins.
Played is a hot, sexy read that also tugs on the heart strings. I really liked Aaron as he worked to rebuild his career and came to realize that it's okay to lean on someone else, to need someone else. I came to like Melody once she grew a pair and took charge of her own career and life. As it turned out, these two make beautiful music together! Played is a good, sexy, and yes, even sweet romance. A Must Read!

I liked the characters - especially Dan & Nick...and Patsy. Nice start to the series. I would have liked more of a resolution to the story in this one as I felt too many plot lines were left dangling, but I realize it was mostly a setup for the continuing storyline.

McKenna never fails to manipulate my feelings when it comes to gruff, abrasive, damaged alpha males who are self-exiled from life, family, & love. Rob escaped his demons by homesteading in the vast wilderness of Scotland. Hoping to leave his guilt and regrets behind, he is now living in isolation, spurning all human contact. Merry sets out on a three week hike across the Scottish Highlands to celebrate her new, slimmer body - and to define the priorities and purpose in her life. Two weeks into her personal journey, she collapses and seeks help and shelter from Rob after stumbling across his cabin. Rob usually ignores the hikers who dare to venture into his space, but something compels him to offer Merry shelter while she heals. Two lonely souls bearing secrets recognize each other and bond. Dark secrets, forbidden desires, and fragile hearts tangle and twist, threatening to unravel and destroy them both. Unbound is another Page Burner by McKenna. She is truly a master at these dark, twisted reads. A Must Read!
