Melody Heck Gatto scores a win with Playing the Game, the third book in The Renegades Series. This contemporary sports romance is suitable to both new adult and adult audiences. It is set in modern Pittsburgh.
After being betrayed by his ex and a teammate, NHL Captain Tyler Kidd’s life began to spin out of control. The Renegades’ new PR assistant, Paige Martin, is tasked with cleaning up his messes. Lines are crossed and the two wind up in bed together, both knowing a relationship could hurt their careers.
I loved Playing the Game! Melody Heck Gatto does a fantastic job with her character development. Tyler is great. Understandably, he has a hard time getting over being betrayed by Patrick and Gia, even though he never truly loved her. Anyone who has been cheated on ego takes a hit. He makes mistakes but is also misrepresented by the media. Tyler gets the best wooing award. I enjoyed Paige’s character. She is very professional. I love the way she handles the media. Both grew throughout the story.
The plot was believable and stirring. I enjoy Melody Heck Gatto’s writing style. It flows well and is easy to follow.
