Playing by the Rules by Monica Murphy
4.0
3.5 stars
I loved Playing Hard to Get, and was excited to read Blair's book. I thought this book was good, and I liked both Blair and Camden. I liked that Blair helped Cam see a different side of himself, and I liked Blair's confidence and stubbornness in showing Cam that he's more than his insecurities.
However, something fell short for me, and I think it was that their story ran alongside Knox and Jojo's story. I thought that Blair and Camden's would be after, so I was excited to see more of Blair and Jojo's friendship, which we didn't get, and I was a bit disappointed. I also found the repetition of how hot Cam was a bit much and thought at times, the chemistry between the two was more telling and not showing. Finally, I wanted a bit more insight into their connection and friendship.
While this sounds like I didn't like this book, I actually quite enjoyed it. I just had different expectations going in, and that's on me. I think that this is a great book for fans of brother's best friends, sports and college romance and I'm looking forward to Ruby's book.
