Play Dirty

I have been a die hard Sandra Brown fan for many years. After Ricochet, I got a tad bit frustrated with her predictable writing style. But I am happy to say Play Dirty has renewed my admiration of Ms. Brown.

Funny that I was reading this book during the time when Tony Romo was being chastised for making poor decisions and keeping controversial company. (Miss Jessica Simpson) This book is about a former Dallas Cowboys Quarterback, Griff Burkett, who intentionally throws a playoff game that would have ultimately taken them to the Super Bowl, to satisfy a large debt to some bookies.

After doing time, he is thrown back out into the public that now despises him. Finding work proves to be challenging until he is summoned to the home of a very wealthy quadriplegic businessman with a stunningly beautiful wife.

While Burkett accepts blame for his past, he is also trying to put his past behind him, seeking absolution from those willing to give it, falling in love, and suddenly fighting for his life.

I liked this story, I looked for any chance to sit down and crack open the book. I did peg one character from the very beginning, which I felt was a bit predictable, but overall Sandra did not let me down. This was a good one.
