Blurb<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Dean Walker is all about keeping life simple. He’s effortlessly talented and intelligent-spending his summers playing drums in the local band and the rest of the year teaching high school in the same Jersey town where he grew up. He likes his love life simple too, enjoying the commitment-free hook-ups his good looks and sexy charm have always made oh-so easy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Then he meets Lainey Burrows. And his simple, easy life gets turned upside down.<\/p>\n

One wild one-night stand was all it was ever supposed to be, so Lainey is shocked when she discovers that her sizzling summer fling is also her son’s new math teacher. But that’s nothing compared to the most unexpected twist of all-their hot hook-up left Lainey knocked-up, and now they’re about to become parents. Together.<\/p>\n

What ensues is an addictive, insatiable, sweet and tender romance that won’t be simple, but it will be more than worth the fight.<\/p>\n

Review<\/strong><\/h4>\n

5 fantastic stars!<\/b><\/p>\n

Getting Schooled<\/a> was my #1 favourite read last year, and ever since I heard that Emma Chase was going to make it into a series, Getting Played<\/i> was my most anticipated read of this year. I dropped everything the moment this audiobook dropped onto my phone, and it did not disappoint!<\/p>\n

We are taken back to the town of Lakeside, this time for the story of Dean \u2013 best friend of Garrett from book #1. Dean is the math teacher and assistant football coach at the same high school that he and Garrett attended as kids. He spends his summers touring with his band and playing his beloved drums, and it\u2019s while performing one night that he becomes smitten with a woman in the crowd.<\/p>\n

Lainey is a single mother to a teenage son and runs a successful lifestyle blog. She\u2019s celebrating a new career opportunity out at a bar when she meets Dean. After staring lustfully at each other through his whole set, they share a fun and easy night together which ends with multiple rounds of the best sex either of them have had. They both consider it a hook-up and say goodbyes in the morning, but neither of them are able to forget each other or the amazing time they had together.<\/p>\n

Months later, and Lainey\u2019s job has moved her to Lakeside, and she and Dean get the surprise of their lives when they run in to each other again. The surprises continue when they then discover that Dean is the teacher that Lainey\u2019s son can\u2019t stop gushing about, and not only that\u2026 but Lainey is pregnant from their night together.<\/p>\n

Squeeeee! I love a surprise pregnancy storyline, and this one is just gorgeous!<\/p>\n

Dean is a simple guy. He loves his job, his friends, and his music, and he\u2019s happy with his commitment-free lifestyle and his frequent hook-ups with no desire for anything more. But then there is Lainey. Not only was he unable to forget about her, but she makes him feel things he hasn\u2019t felt before. The idea of a relationship is completely new to him, but she\u2019s a total gamechanger for him. And the fact that she\u2019s having his baby changes brings them together in a way he never would have anticipated.<\/p>\n

Lainey is a \u2018take life as it comes\u2019 kind of girl. She\u2019s smart and sensible, and I love how no-nonsense she is. She\u2019s a wonderful mother and she\u2019s prepared to go it alone, but as Dean declares himself all in, she finds her whole world flipped upside down.<\/p>\n

Everybody in town new that when Dean the player fell, he would fall hard, and we get to see that in glorious detail as Dean throws himself into life as an expectant father, and allows everything he is feeling for Lainey to shine. It\u2019s absolutely effortless and so, so beautiful, and while it\u2019s not exactly conventional, and they do have some drama to sort through, it\u2019s angst free, super sexy and so freaking sweet. I absolutely love these two together, and their journey to their HEA is lots of fun.<\/p>\n

Lovers of the first book will be thrilled that we get to spend time with Garret and Callie, and there\u2019s some great story progression for them, and once again there\u2019s a fantastic bunch of side characters that bring so much to the story. The teachers at work, Dean\u2019s Grandmother, Lainey\u2019s family, her son, and the rest of Dean\u2019s students absolutely shine whenever they appear, and this book had me laughing out loud so many times at the fantastic dynamics and banter.<\/p>\n

Emma Chase has delivered another fantastic rom-com with characters that you can\u2019t help but love and a love story that will have you laughing, swooning, fanning yourself and grinning like a fool.<\/p>\n

The audiobook is once again narrated by Andie Arndt and Zachary Webber, and they are perfection!<\/p>\n

I loved everything about this one!<\/p>\n

5 stars!<\/p>\n
