The Way We Play by Tia Louise - ARC Review & Release Blitz


He’s a grumpy, retired kicker who says he only breaks things. I’m a thirty-year-old virgin with something he can break (and I don’t mean my heart)…

How does one get to be a thirty-year-old virgin?

In my case, start with being risk-averse and cautious, focused on building your career, then inherit your 12-year-old, special-needs brother. Done!

Zane Bradford appeared at the perfect time.

He takes my brother to equine therapy, he gives me rides to work, and he rescues me when I collapse in the shower. (Yes, he saw me naked.)

He says he only breaks things, but I only see him fixing everything. Heck, his job is as a repair man.

This grumpy, angry god with lean muscles, silky dark hair, and ice blue eyes has taken himself out of the game.

But massage therapy is my job, and I’m ready to play.

Rachel Wells is ruining everything.

She walks into my workplace and argues with me, talks back, defends herself.

She gives me romance books to “improve my mood,” and insists on massage therapy to ease my pain.

Chronic pain isn’t my problem—she is, with her bright green eyes and sassy attitude.

Then she tells me she’s never been kissed. (What’s wrong with the men in Birmingham?)

The more she tempts me, the more I feel my resolve weakening.

She wants to play, but I’m not going to break.




I love small town, and I love grumpy/sunshine, so Zane and Rachel were a lot of fun. They had chemistry from their initial on page meeting, but neither of them thought it was a good idea, especially as Zane has told Rachel to stay away from him...not an easy task as they live in the same house and are both employed by the same woman.

I loved how the things they had in common were the things that drew them together, until both of them were involved with the other, despite their best intentions, because it was impossible to ignore the things that kept putting them into one another's space.

I believed the change from enemies to lovers and it felt authentic and natural, as well as in character for both of them.

I enjoyed and recommend this title.
