Playing Dane

Florida East University, Book 1

By: Hannah Gray

Narrated by: Elizabeth Hart, Thomas Oakley

Dane Wade is a breath of fresh air.

Sexy, charming, and with abs that could melt any woman’s panties. With my rules and boundaries in place, he is the perfect person to have fun with to pass the time. As long as he knows it will never amount to anything more. Which he does…I think.

But then boundaries get shattered. Lines get blurred. I know it’s time to bolt before things get harder, and I risk falling deeper. Running away is the only thing I know how to do. And, in my twenty years on this earth, it’s worked for me.

They say you don’t know what you have until it’s gone. They’re wrong. I knew what I had all along. I just couldn’t accept it.

And now…he might be gone for good.

One thing is for sure: it’ll take more than an apology for him to want me back. But saying I’m sorry is a good place to start.

Loved their journey!

I absolutely loved this journey between Layla and Dane! The way he supported her and made her see that she could love again after trauma was everything! What a great listen!!!

Dane & Layla

After reading Hate You Henley, I wasn't sure how I would feel about Dane's story. But I quickly became obsessed with him. I ended up with so much sympathy for him and what he went through. Dane and Layla were so much fun together. It was an interesting way of telling the story. It took place over many months as they only got together monthly. I was surprised by how much the story overlapped with Hate Your Henley but it was done perfectly. I loved getting to know Layla more and her story and all that she went through. Hannah Gray sure through in some huge surprises here!

I LOVE DANE

Dane is such a sweetheart. Definitely my new book boyfriend! He falls so fast in love with a girl that does not want anything to do with love due to childhood Trama. He is persistent and determined to get her to change her mind.
I loved the narration, and the storyline will keep you wanting more.

"Please, Layla, at least let me be your now.”

⭐️ Rating: 5/5

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dane and Layla
Dane is sexy, charming, and with rock-hard abs. Layla is an irresistible girl with so many rules and boundaries to keep people in their place, which is far away from her heart. So, Dane seems like her perfect match, just another player and only in it for the fun. Until he falls first.

Hannah delivers an incredible story full of college fun, friends, and camaraderie. Beyond that, her characters reveal the depth of their emotions, going through painful experiences. College life isn’t always just about the pranks, sleeping late, and wearing fuzzy slippers to class. It’s real life and Hannah brings out those highs and lows. Elizabeth Hart and Thomas Oakley are incredible in their portrayal of Layla and Dane. I felt like I was with Layla in her determination to keep her shields high; even as Dane struggled to repair his relationship with his twin brother.

Great Story

I liked the story of Layla and Dane and how towards the middle to end of the book, we discover the connection between them. Fate works in mysterious ways! I like the narrators but I wish it was done in duet style. Also, the book had some slow parts in beginning towards to middle but overall a pretty good book.
