Play Along by Liz Tomforde
"OH MY GOD IM OBSESSSED!!!!!!!! I simply did not want this to end!! I tried savoring every word because what the fuck am I supposed to do now?!!!!! I refuse to believe this series is over until Rio’s book. I’m not ready to say goodbye 😭😭😭. Which has me in shock because who would have thunk I’d go from hating Mile High to absolutely loving the rest of the books in this series?!!! Actually everyone, everyone thought that. You guys told me so. I’m depressed. This put me back in a slump. YAY!!!!

Let me just say this�. Yes I AM STILL A KAI RHODES GIRLIE!!! He remains my number 1 Windy City man�. Who’s shocked?! Not me. God the crumbs we got of him Miller and Max, don’t even get me started, I was eating them up like a starved animal. ALSO HIS SPEECH?!!!!! No. No I can’t. I could not stop crying. God this series had me so emotional I was also not expecting that!! I’m so attached to these characters they feel like they’re MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!!

Don’t even get me started on Isaiah Rhodes�.
My flirtatious golden retriever man with the filthiest mouth who uses humor as a coping mechanism I CANNOT!!!! He had me absolutely SCREAMING!! And let me tell you I don’t typically love the golden retriever MMCs so he had me absolutely SHOCKED by how feral he had me!!! I swear nobody writes and acts of service man like Liz Tomforde. He fell first and my god did he fall so hard this man was so pathetically obsessed I was actually dying!!! The banter?!!! You want a man who begs�.. pleads her…� wants to be a good boy for her�. GOODBYE DONE DONE DONE IM SWEATING JUST THINKING ABOUT THE WORDS THAT CAME OUT OF HIS MOUTH!!!!! Ugh and he also broke my heart!!! This man made his baseball walk out song obsessed by Mariah Carey because it’s the song she walked down the aisle to when they got drunkenly married in Vegas because hes so obsessed with her. I CANNOT!!!!!! He gets such bad anxiety attacks during thunder storms and refuses to drive in the rain but was ready to drive to her to make sure she was safe 😭😭😭 no I’m done.

THE FAKE MARRIAGE TROPE HAD ME GIGGLING SO HARD!!!! Also him teaching her how to be comfortable with physical touch and intimacy�. Yeah no. I can’t. I can’t. This man would literally crawl to the ends of the earth for her. I also love how much he’s loves her mean and feisty side.

Like all the women in this series I absolutely loved Kennedy and her growth in this book made me so happy! I have a soft spot for black cat FMCs. Like I feel like all these girls are my besties I want to cry. Best sports romance series no question.

Windy City series ranking (this goes for the men too)
1. Caught up 5⭐️
2. Right Move 5⭐️
3. Play Along 5⭐️
4. Mile High 1⭐️

Quotes:

“I live, laugh, love you.�

“You’re very polite when you want something.�
“Oh baby, I told you already. I’m a good boy, especially when I want something.�
“Yes,� he pants. “Yes. Yes. Please. Please don’t stop.�

“Because you’re worth more than how you’ve been treated the last three years, and I love you enough to make sure you know that. I love you enough to make sure you start living up to your potential.�

“I have waited, and fucking waited for this. You’re my answered prayer. You know that?�

“Rhodes,� he says. “Her last name is Rhodes. Now get your fucking hands off my wife.�

“You look like you’re going to say something a little bit evil, break my heart, and I’ll end up thanking you for it.�

edit: i can’t stop thinking about this book it’s getting bumped up to 5 stars 😭

4.5-4.75 ⭐️ i have no idea i can’t think straight, i am still on a high from this book

liz tomforde does it for me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. like how does she write such perfect fictional men?

i didn’t think another book could come close to the right move but wow, this was just another absolute banger. i didn’t expect to love isaiah but i will never doubt liz again because i absolutely fell in love with him. he is the biggest sweetheart and so masterful at yearning that he snaked his way right into my heart, and i lovee his journey with kennedy. i just love how he was so steadfast in his feelings for her.

i absolutely adore this series and i’m so attached to these characters and the found family that liz created. like, i literally ugly cried during kai’s speech LOL. and i had the stupidest grin on my face reading the epilogue. it added 10 years to my life (seeing all of their kids together??!?!?). i’m just so sad that this series is coming to an end bc i honestly feel like i could stay in their world forever.

liz if you see this please give us a reese and monty novella 🙏 ]]>
