Piper Lawson2016
A quirky 70k standalone about life, love, and the pursuit of orgasms. I mean, video games. I'm Payton Blake. A successful, balanced twenty-something girl living the dream. OK. So it's a big-ass lie. I could be all of those things. If I had friends outside of work. And if I didn't mainline watermelon slushies like they were a food group. It wouldn't hurt if I'd had sex in the last year, either. (My best friend insists Jorge the Nightstand Boyfriend doesn't count.) But when you know where you're headed, who needs to enjoy the ride? Even if part of me longed for a little between-the-sheets adventure, Max Donovan would be the last guy I'd call. Sure, he made the indie video game that broke the internet. His eyebrow piercing's sexy, in an 'are-you-in-a-band?' way, and fighting with him gets me off faster than Jorge on bezerker mode. But he's arrogant. Presumptuous. Colder than a cactus and twice as prickly. None of it changes the fact that I crave Max Donovan like a watermelon slushy on a hot summer day. I should ignore him. But I can't, because he just became my biggest client. And whether he'll admit it or not, he needs me even more than I need him. Game on, Max Donovan. ~ PLAY is a romantic comedy intended for 18+ due to steamy scenes and f-bombs. As Max Donovan would say..."You're welcome." ADVANCE PRAISE: "A fast paced, fab, fun story...The characters are complicated but not broken. The chemistry is definitely hot and steamy. This is a hard to put down book that you'll just have to finish in one go." Obsessed by Books "This book talked nerdy to me... and I loved every second of it." Once Upon an Alpha "Piper Lawson delivers another New Adult romance that leaves readers panting ... I highly recommend PLAY for a romance that gives the perfect meld of geek and sexy that has you viewing gamers in a completely different light and wanting to level up." Rochelle's Reviews "I couldn't put this book down, I swear I even fell asleep and woke up with my kindle on my face because I wanted to keep reading until I couldn't keep my eyes open." Twenty Something Pages Book Blog "Put this on your To Be Read list... at the top!" Goodreads reviewer Mandee
