"For fans of Bared to You and Beautiful Bastard comes the start of an irresistible new erotic romance series in which competition is the ultimate seduction. Shaw Matthews plays to win, and he intends to snag a coveted partnership at San Diego's hottest sports agency by signing America's top athlete. Only one woman stands in his way rival agent Cassidy Whalen. But eliminating the competition will be Shaw's pleasure when he concocts an ingenious plan to seduce Cassidy and show the beautiful ballbreaker who's the better man for the job. That is, until Cassidy turns the tables and their steamy encounters start breaking all the rules. Cassidy has worked hard to make it in a man's cutthroat arena, and she isn't going down without a fight, not even against the six-two alpha hunk whose rock-hard body awakens desires she's never known before. As Cassidy shares night after night of unending passion with Shaw, the game begins to change. Now Cassidy stands to lose everything unless a fiery contest of wills can become a winning proposition for two people who keep raising the stakes. Playing Dirty is an erotic romance intended for mature audiences"--… (mere)

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) (

UGH. THIS. BOOK.

I just... Can't.

This writing is... I feel mean using the word "atrocious" but, honestly, that's the word that is coming to mind right now. There's worse out there, I know, but this was rough to get through as long as I did. It's overly prose laden and takes way too long to say anything of actual substance. I really don't need full pages of whining about any ONE thing, thanks. A good editor could really help with that, but I don't know, maybe some people like reading whine-rants. Totally plausible.

The other thing making me hate on this book are the awful characters. Well, Cassidy isn't so bad I suppose, but I couldn't ever really get a read on her as a person. She just kind of skipped all over the place in her mind and actions never seemed to totally sync up for me. Shaw was just a jackass, and no amount (or lack of) character development was going to help him dig out of the ditch that the author dug for him.

You just don't want this relationship to happen, in any way, because Shaw is such a truly awful twatwaffle.

Abandoned at 54%. I really tried to like this book. I was a college athlete, and have a sports law background (before I went to work for the GOV). So I thought this book would be right up my alley. I would describe it as Jerry Maguire meets Beautiful Bastard. The writing was not bad, but I absolutely hated the characters. I thought Cassidy was a huge beyotch - she treated Shaw like crap from the very first moment they met. And Shaw, while he could have been okay, lost points because of the repeated unemotional banging. Don't get me wrong, the sex scenes were hot - but it was ALL hate sex (at least through 54% and I didn't see an end in site). And this book made me realize that I do not like hate sex. After scrolling through the other reviews, I realize I am not going to like this book any better by the end, so I'm gonna stop now.

Because the writing was not bad, I would still recommend this book to people who like conflict, drama, and hate sex. Because it has all that in spades. (

This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.

I read this book at a time when I had very little exposure to erotica, and was just dipping my toe in. Since reading this, I've determined I prefer straight romance, but I did in fact enjoy this one enough that I am tempted to read the others in the sequence. Shaw and Cassidy are co-workers who push each others buttons in multiple ways. On one hand, they are competitors who really don't like each other very much. But given the occasion they find they are very sexually compatible, and through a series of assignations, they discover maybe their mutual dislike is crumbling. The sex scenes are hot and the banter is often funny. As they discover that both of them may have hearts more tender than first believed, Shaw and Cassidy are challenged into thinking differently about each other and what may come next. This IS a series, so do expect a cliff hanger. (

OK, I think I'm calm enough to write this review now. I've retrieved my kindle after it hit the wall at the end of this book! I didn't realize it had a cliffhanger and the story continues in the next book so be warned. That said, overall I really enjoyed this very steamy and well crafted story. The writing was great although I did think it was slightly drawn out. Really loved the characters too. The secondary characters really help make the story. The quick and witty banter between Shaw and Cassidy was hilarious at times. It was laugh out loud funny at times and heart touching at others. Overall a really good read and I would definitely recommend it. (
