My Review
 
Playing Dirty (Monkey Business Trio, #1) by C.L. ParkerMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Playing Dirty is a smart, tension filled, adrenaline charged, sensual read. I received an ARC for an honest review. From the very first you feel the heated sexual tension jump off the page. C.L. Parker does a exceptional job of drawing you in to this emotional tug of war between her two main characters. I also loved the first person narration and how it alternated between the two characters. Through the narration you were able to get the viewpoint straight from Shaw and Cassidy themselves. It added to the realism of the story. This was a very entertaining read that was well worth the time.(www.goodreads.com/review/list/25556913-isha-coleman)… (more)

I'm sad to see Shaw and Cass's journey end. It's like losing a friend. Having watched this couple go from enemies, to rivals, to lovers and now parents leaves me with a bittersweet feeling. Coming Clean is the powerful conclusion to a rocky and driven love story. Along the way Shaw has exposed more of his tragic past and become a little more open but his heartbreaking past is never far from his mind and remains a barrier to his future with Cass and his son. Falling in love was never the plan for Cass. Her fast paced career was well on it's way to the top when her emotions won out. She's sacrificed much and wants more than a distant lover and a brain full of what is. C.L. Parker, has written a story that is more mature than the others in the Monkey Business Trio series. Coming Clean is about setting priorities and discovering what's important before it's too late.… (more)

If Playing Dirty was Shaw's story, Getting Rough is Cassidy's through and through. Shaw and Cassidy are their own worst enemies. They thrive on being the best and although that is not a bad thing the way they go about achieving that title is. If each took a minute to really examine what drives them to succeed, the similarities would far outshine their different backgrounds. If the objective was to prove that a reader can fall in love with unlikable characters this author was a success. I received an ARC of Getting Rough in exchange for an honest review.… (more)
