Valerie King is having a pity party for one on her twenty fourth birthday, drinking alone at a bar when Kyle Leighton, the newest signing for the Sydney Smoke, approaches her. Val knows exactly who Kyle is, as the daughter of the Smoke's coach Griffin she knows all about the team, but Kyle clearly has no idea who she is. Val knows it's a monumentally bad idea but doesn't care, he's funny and gorgeous and just what she needs to distract herself.

The next time Kyle sees the gorgeous one-night stand she's at Henley Stadium wearing a Sydney Smoke cap, but nothing can disguise that beautiful titian hair. He's so excited to see her he rushes up to kiss her, but is rudely awakened when his new, very grumpy, coach orders him to let go of his daughter. Griff gives Kyle a choice, keep away from my daughter or you won't play rugby for the Smoke.

Kyle knows he needs to stay away from Val, and he will once he has a chance to talk to her about that night. But when he finds out that she owns his favourite bakery and she offers him a lifetime supply of free pastries his choice doesn't seem quite so obvious any more.

I loved everything about this book. I loved Kyle, the golden son in a large family, many of whom have only a glancing acquaintance with the right side of the law, his dedication to rugby and his feelings for Val. I loved Val, struggling with daddy issues, running her own business and yet so kind to everyone, fitting in with Kyle's raucous family and the Smoke's WAGs with equal ease.

As befits an Entangled Brazen imprint the sex is hot and steamy but it fits right in with the plot, from the raunchy one-night stand to the hot, hot, hot encounter in the bakery everything is just right.

Another fantastic romance from Amy Andrews and the glorious Sydney Smokes.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

In Playing Dirty by author Amy Andrews, Val gets her story and what a doozy it is! I like how Ms Andrews gives readers a full circle read in Val and Grif's history, and present storyline. Attention grabbing reading from one chapter to the next. The story has some comical moments, tender heartfelt moments and the scorching scenes between Val and Kyle were set to combustible. Val and Kyle are a heart match that did not disappoint. Another top pick in what has been an unmissable series.

This was a quick and easy read. The chemistry between Val and Kyle was great. I really enjoyed the fact that Kyle was the first to realize he loved Val. Although the author could have gone into more detail regarding the tragedy in Val's family and delved more into her relationship with her father overall I would recommend this book. Great addition to her Sydney Smokes Rugby series. I was given an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I totally loved this book! Actually, I've loved each book in the series. The author made me fall in love with Val and Kyle from the very moment they first met and continued as their relationship developed. It was also nice to learn Griff's story and why he ignored his daughter in the prior books in the series. I found myself hoping for them to get their HEA ending.

If you enjoy sexy contemporary romance, you will love this book. Put this one at the top of your TBR list just in time for summer reading. While this is part of a series, this is a stand alone novel. The author is on my must read authors' list.

Yes I enjoyed, Playing Dirty, as a sports romance novel. I would have enjoyed it more however if the daddy daughter issues weren't so prevalent throughout the book. It felt at times that the story was more about that then the relationship between Kyle and Val. I was torn between giving the book a 3 or 4 star rating. The sex scenes won out though.

This is Kyle and Valerie book, this is the first book of this series that I have read! Aaaaaand now I have to go back and read them all!! Lol this was an awesome read!! I was iffy in the beginning for some reason so if you feel that to?! Stick it out it ends up being an amazing story!! Vals father is the owner of a rugby team and Kyle is of course a hot player!!
