Play

Yikes, I really wanted to like this more. I really enjoyed Lick. I love a sexy rock star romance romp! This though, I nearly bailed after the first several chapters. Mal in Lick was charming but this Mal was difficult for me to like initially. It wasn't all bad. He eventually grew on me as I began to understand where the mania was coming from. There were funny moments and steamy moments. I still didn't quite connect to him though.

I hoped to see more of Anne's tomboy playfulness return by being with Mal but it feels like she became more of a babysitter for him. At one point, Anne thinks Mal feels like more of a man than ”boy toy” Reece and I hate that I disagree. Mal and Reece both were immature and Anne continued to be used despite her ”boundaries”. In the end, I thought Mal was fine and Anne seemed happy and secure enough to deal with her family issues.

I haven't given up on the series. I'd still like to see what happens with Jimmy and Ben. I kinda want to see Lizzy and Ben together.
