Susan Anderson is a genius. She made me laugh with this masterpiece of hers. ‘Playing Dirty’ is a rather witty romantic comedy with believable characters who are not above playing dirty to get things that they want. If they want something, they’d get it, by hook or by crook.

Frankly speaking, I think some fictions are not very far removed from reality. As far as I’m concern, alot of people are not above playing dirty to get what they want too.

Unlike reality where more often than not things ended up with devastation, heartbreak or a tragedy when people started to play dirty to get what they want, ‘Playing Dirty’ by Susan Anderson ended up with a happily ever after, like most fiction do.

I rate this book 4 out of 5 for the sheer reflection on today’s society and the nasty nature of some people’s heart.

I received an ARC of this book from Harlequin via Netgalley. I was not compensated in any ways for writing this review.

Book description:

When old enemies are thrown together, all bets are off…

Way back in high school, golden boy Cade Gallari publicly revealed he’d slept with “fat girl” Ava Spencer to win a bet. Now a decade older and a head turner with her own concierge business, Ava isn’t the gullible dreamer she once was— and she plans to prove it when Cade, hotter than ever, breezes back into town with an offer she can’t refuse.

A documentary film producer, Cade is shooting a movie about the mysterious mansion Ava inherited. And he  wants her as his personal concierge. She’s certainly professional enough to be at his beck and call without giving him everything he wants. Like another shot at having her in his bed. But Ava doesn’t count on Cade’s determination. Because he’s never gotten over her— and he’s not above playing dirty to score a second chance at a red-hot future…
