The Games We Play

FWB, Book 1

By: Alexandra Warren

Narrated by: Morae Brehon, Leon Nixon

Chance Washington only has a few things on his mind when he embarks on a trip back to his hometown. Completing the assignment for work that's sending him there in the first place, helping his mom make progress on her fixer-upper home, and catching up with some of his best friends who he doesn't get to see often enough. What is not a part of those plans is hooking up with the little sister of one of his best friends. But it doesn't take long for him to realize that just because you walk into a game with a strategy doesn't always mean things are going to go as planned.

Londyn Miller isn't looking for a relationship; a casual fling is more her thing after blowing through the limited dating options in her hometown. But when a handsome - familiar - face returns to town for an extended stay, the decision to pursue him for a little fun is an easy one; as long as she's sure not to let that fun turn into real feelings while also managing to keep it all from her overprotective big brother.

Just like Chance, Londyn quickly learns that plans and strategy can only get you so far before you're forced to make in-game adjustments.

Contains mature themes.

Nice young love story

Although the plot was s bit predictable, this was s good and enjoyable listen.

Lets Play A Little Game!!!

I actually started listening to The Games We Play three months ago but, I stopped because I couldn't get into it. Interesting enough, I found it to be more entertaining the second time around. London was too immature for my taste. She liked to play games too much. Hence the title of hte book. This is why I don't like to read books with characters in their 20's. At the age I am, I can't relate to them. While I could barely tolerate London, I loved her and Chance as a couple. He was definitely more mature than her and it helped level out London's childishness. I honestly didn't get Eric's reaction when he found out London and Chance were dating. I guess I can understand him being upset about them not telling him in the beginning but, London was a grown woman. She didn't need his permission to date his bestie. The female narrator is listed as Morae Brehon. I don't know who Morae Brehon is but, I do know who Adenrele Ojo is and that's who's narrating this book. I've listened to enough books narrated by her to recognize her voice. Maybe Morae Brehon is her pseudonym. I'm generally a fan of Leon Nixon but, I did not like his performance in this book. It just was not up to par with what I'm use to from him. Overall, The Games We Play was a pretty good read. I'm glad I went back and gave it a second chance. This was my first book by Alexandra Warren and I look forward to reading more from her.
