Newly broke girl
Alexandria Asher just wants to live a normal life. After her parents are sent
to prison on embezzlement charges, she enrolls in college under her mother’s
maiden name and tries her best to pretend she’s someone else.
Tristan Prescott is everything
Alex is trying to avoid. A seemingly egotistical, lazy, rich jerk, she dumps
her beer on his head when he comes on to her one night at a party. This only
spurs Tristan into action. He loves nothing more than a challenge. And the
beautiful Alex is exactly the type of challenge that intrigues him.
Despite her reluctance,
Alex finds herself quickly involved with Tristan. Underneath that playboy
exterior is a good guy, a sweet and sexy guy who she is undoubtedly falling
for. What they both don’t realize is the actions of Alex’s parents are the
reason for so much tragedy in Tristan’s family. And when Tristan discovers who
Alex and her family really is, can he forgive and forget?
My Review
Slow Play was such a good read. Starting out I
wasn't sure how I would feel about Tristian. He was a jerk in the other books
and the beginning of this one was no different. But instead of pissing me off,
it made him more endearing.
Alex is a former rich girl that is now living
middle class. She says poor, but I don't see it that way. Anyways- her parents
screwed up their and her future and left her broke for the most part. So she
moves away to get a new start and takes her moms maiden name. Her plan is to
stay away from people that remind her of her old life, but of course that
doesn't last long since she becomes friends with Kelli who is friends with Jade
and Lucy who are in relationships with Shep and Gabe and of course we cannot forget
Tristian. Tristian throws Alex for a loop as soon as they meet and what we are
left with is a fun ride full of sexual tension.
Tristian doesn't do relationships. He is just a
one and done guy and he's a bit of an asshole. But when he meets Alex he starts
rethinking things. I admit there were a lot of times I got mad at Tristian, not
for things he would do, but just things he was thinking to himself.
This is very aptly titled because things do move
at a slow pace for the first half of the book, but I actually enjoyed it that
way and it was believable. These two really clicked no matter how much they
tried to fight it. All in all it was a great read and I am really happy with
the way things ended!
4 stars!
