Miami Piranhas Book 5: Playing Deep by Beth Bolden

 

Miami Piranhas Book 5

Kenyon Ellis knows getting involved with Julian Anderson is an enormous mistake—but from the very first night, he finds him annoying, intriguing and ultimately, irresistible.

One, Kenyon is a player, and Julian is a reporter, so hooking up with him, no matter how spectacular the nights are, is a terrible idea.

Two, he’s falling for him, even if Julian continues to be prickly and impossible. But every time Julian’s walls shift, Kenyon sees the real man behind the attitude, and he only wants more.

Three, between the Piranhas and the charity work he’s committed to, Kenyon really doesn’t have the time for a relationship—but a relationship with Julian turns out to be exactly what he wants.

Maybe even exactly what he needs.

But when Julian starts calling out his performance on the field, the last thing Kenyon expects is his betrayal. But is it betrayal? Or does Julian see something in Kenyon that he’s lost?

The answer leads him not only to love, but to the biggest crossroads of his life.

The fifth and final Miami Piranhas book.

My Review: 5/5 Stars

I made it to the end of the Piranhas series in my read of this world. Which by the way I’ve been going backwards on after I accidentally read the Condors series first. Oh well! So in this final book we have Julian and Kenyon. And these two are something else! What starts as strangers hooking up, turns into a lot more. Especially when the next day they discover who the other person was. Julian a reporter recently moved to Miami to cover the Piranhas and Kenyon, a player on the Piranhas. A reporter and a player hooking up is probably not the smartest idea but they find they can’t keep away from one another. So they’ll hook up, no strings attached, for the next several months. Then things really change when feelings develop so strongly, that ignoring them isn’t an option anymore. But it won’t be easy. Kenyon may be willing to fight for Julian and be more but convincing Julian is a whole other ball game. Julian has kept himself closed off for a long time. He’s never truly had anyone in his life who cared and who was there. Until Kenyon. And it scares him. A lot. And he is sure that Kenyon will one day easily discard him. But that’s not who Kenyon is and he is willing to prove it. No matter what curve balls Julian throws him along the way. Loved these two! Nothing was easy bout their relationship, but they showed that when you love someone you fight for them. A great end to these guys! And I’m glad I still have others in this world to read!
