Playing Games

By: Max Monroe

Narrated by: Teddy Hamilton, Amy Hall

Dickson University’s star quarterback and campus golden boy is used to winning on and off the field…until he meets the one woman who changes the game.

Blake Boden is the ultimate distraction—annoyingly handsome, enigmatic, and confident enough to make my teeth grind.

He’s the kind of guy who could charm anyone with a single smile, and somehow, I’ve become his latest challenge.

Only, I don’t do challenges—and I don’t do love. Emotions? Just chemical reactions. Distractions? Not on my agenda.

But he has a stubborn streak that won’t leave me alone, and I have a dissertation due at the end of the semester on computer-assisted research that I could put to the test a little more.

I’ll analyze his charm, track my reactions, and prove once and for all that attraction is nothing but science…and love is a mere figment of the imagination.

Hypothesis: Time with Blake Boden is purely scientific.
Conclusion: He’s not just breaking my rules—he’s rewriting them.

Wel Done

Oh Lexi, I was hoping for her story and they really did a great job with it, I felt like I was right there with her in getting the story. I really loved how Blake was so persistent and patient in understanding her. I do wish we had a little more of them with the group of friends and possibly a scene once everyone found out but overall it was a great story with good narration.

Great love story

There is absolutely nothing I dislike, I love this book and series so far and cannot wait for more… right quickly please!!! I’m such a fan

Lexi’s Story did not disappoint

This was so beautiful. I’ve been waiting for Lexi’s Story forever and it did not disappoint. Blake is perfect for her. Calming. Patient. At ease.

I’m pretty sure I’ll die when we get Ace and Julia’s story 🥹

Playing Games did not play around!!

The 2nd book in the Dickson U series is perfection!! We have known Lexi since the Billionaire Bad Boys series and have watched her grow up and grown into her personality. Now there is someone who loves her for just who she is! Also, all the cameo appearances from some of our favorite characters makes it even better.

Amy Hall & Teddy Hamilton did a phenomenal job of bringing this story to life!!

Finally Lexi's story!!!

I am a huge Max Monroe fan have read all of her books. Watching Lexi grow up through all the Billionaires and Winslow series I was waiting on Lexi to have her own story and this did not disappoint at all.
