Synopsis

Rules of the game:
1) Never underestimate your opponent
2) Avoid personal fouls
3) Score early and often
4) Play or get played

Coach Marcus Leon has always played by the rules…until he meets Addaline Grace, the seventeen-year-old senior transfer on his Oak Crest High water polo team. Addie changes all the rules, mostly because she doesn’t play any games. But as off limits as she is, the more Marcus discovers about Addie, the more he finds himself…and the more he questions whether Addie Grace might just be worth risking everything for.

For Addie, water polo is anger management. She’s driven and focused because it keeps her mind off other things…like the fact she destroyed her family. Her game plan is to keep her head down and graduate so she can leave her father and the crappy town he dragged her to in her wake. But when what starts as friendly completion with Marcus turns into more than a game, Addie has to decided if she’s willing to face down her demons…and possibly ruin the man she may or may not be falling in love with in the process.

What happens when the only thing you need is the one thing you can’t have?

Review

Getting Played is book two of the Jail Bait series. I highly recommend reading book one (Getting Dirty) just so you can understand the characters that come in and out through the book. 

If you love a good teacher/student romance, then you’ll really like this coach/student one! This book is just what the dr ordered for my latest book funk! Addie and Marcus both have their struggles in life. But I felt more for Addie. She was practically on her own since her dad is a drunk. The only way she could escape her world was by swimming. She could block out the world with each stroke in the pool. But that’s until she has an encounter with her hot water polo coach. Marcus Leon has to take the job of water polo coach after he was looked past on a job he wanted. Trying to make ends meet, Marcus makes time to work at his father’s gym. It’s just until he could find another teaching job. He also finds refuge in swimming when the world gets to be too much. The chemistry between these two is undeniable. Every teacher/student romance has that element of getting caught. Yet, I liked how the author took a different approach. I enjoyed the writing style of Ms. Storm. I couldn’t predict the outcome of the story. Oh and a crazy secret surprised me! I look forward to reading more of Mia Storm! 4 smooches for Getting Played!
