“Little Red craves to be hunted. So, I hunt.”
This book is hawt!!! Whew!!!
As expected, the authors delivered a scorchingly hawt story but was packed with enough emotions and depth for an entertaining read. There are some scenes that could be triggering to some readers. Still, this is an absolute must read for fans of this duo. Loved it!
I love Ker and K’s Kinky series! Each one of them is different and this one is no different. Play Me brings a different fantasy to life but with a twist. I have never had what happened to Quinn happen to me, so I can not and would never judge someone for how they deal with it. But I find what this story is about to be honorable, and how Quinn does deal with her past courageous.
And Joshua, every woman should have one of them. Joshua is willing to help her, of course, it is just a business transaction at first. But while these two are finding each other and getting into a real relationship Joshua doesn’t take over her healing. He listens and helps. I loved that.
This is a great story and I loved all the characters!
Quinn and Joshua’s connection is explosive hot to read Their connection between each of is amazing I really enjoyed this book. Loved the story plot I was glued from the beginning of reading this book as must read. No spoilers grab a copy
What a fantastic introduction of this duo! When I read a new, or new authors, I like to go in blind. I don’t check out other books they’ve written. How people have been rating their books. I want to form my own opinion. Holy cow, Batman! This novella drew me into Quinn and Joshua’s lives, and I could not put it down. I stayed up well past my bedtime! I have more now on my TBR list! Quinn was broken and wanted Joshua to repair her! Can he? Does Joshua need repairing too? Will these two repair each other? So emotional, satisfying, wonderful! Thank you!
Another tasty taboo treat from these two!
This was dark from the very beginning. Quinn has had some trauma and years later is still trying to live a “normal” life. She was strong and not afraid to ask for what she wants. Now that Joshua he was the perfect man to fulfill those dark fantasies of Quinn’s. The role-play dark at its best!
Perfect combination sexy and dark!
Can’t wait for the next kinky treat!
Wow! Loved this one. Another great one by these two! I loved Josh and his caring nature even if it started in a weird way at first. But i loved how things turned out!
Play Me is a steamy but dark, kinky romance! A perfect combination of dark and sexy, you can devour in one sitting! You’ll get a happy ending that’ll make you swoon!
Quinn, a reserved college student who goes to a frat party, has a few drinks and walks home alone only to be confronted by a police officer, needless to say, his assistance is not welcome but one she will never forget. “Bad girls who break laws need to be punished.”
Joshua is the owner of Hush, a sex club with unique tastes and indulging in fantasies that can heal from the darkness of reality, ones that are dangerous and forbidden.
When Quinn approaches Joshua with a specific fantasy, one that needs caution is more than what he bargained for, but he will not deny her anything.
Quinn has always had unusual urges but a traumatic incident at college changed everything for her.
Now shes ready to explore her wants and needs further and she asks Joshua the sexy owner of Hush to assist her in making her fantasies a reality.
Hush is a club that caters to certain fantasies in a safe consensual way and when he realises just what Quinn wants Joshua knows he will be the one that will fulfil those needs for her.
But first, he needs to build trust between them both especially considering the suspicions he has over her past.
It wasn’t really a dark read at all and I found the interaction between Quinn and Joshua to be extremely bloody hot.
I was definitely in need of a cold dunking after finishing this let me tell you.
As the two spend time together outside the bedroom as well as in it they realise just how aligned their kinks are and start to fall deep for each other.
This really was a very sweet and romantic read with all the feels I do so love a man who is unafraid to express just how he feels without fighting it ever so refreshing.
There was a small bit of danger near the end thrown in but it only played a small part in the ongoing narrative i think it was mainly there to showcase some closure.
I also adored that epilogue so heartwarming.
This was a quick easy read that left me with a lovely warm feeling really enjoyed this one very much.

Quinn Washington had a certain need with specifications that no one could meet – unless that man was Joshua Tuck. As the owner of a sex club called Hush, he knew how to cater to his clients’ requirements. Her dark request required gentle hands, only he knew how to provide.
I liked both of the characters and their situations nicely balanced each other. Her back story was done well, however, I wished there was a bit more about his story.
The non-con element of the story was definitely a big plus for me. Even if it was just a pseudo non-con, it didn’t take away the heat.
Play Me is a story of facing fears and intensifying pleasures. It would appeal to readers who enjoy a short kinky story with dark elements.
While in college, Quinn Washington experienced a traumatic event. About a decade later, she is successful in her career, but she has been hiding in her private life due certain triggers. Ready to take a big step to moving forward, Quinn hires Joshua Tuck, a sex club proprietor, to fulfill her dark fantasies in hopes of liberating her fears.
Told in dual POV, the plot cadence is fairly quick-paced with Quinn determined to finalize the contract with Joshua and begin their play time. Always level headed and cautious with her choices, she is completely ready to take the risks. Not a stranger to kinky or unusual requests, Joshua is curious about Quinn and wants to ensure her limits are observed.
What I liked about this story is how Quinn is a survivor. Given the situation, she tried to handle it the best she could and now she is taking full ownership of it. Due to the nature of Quinn’s consensual non-consensual play, it appeals to Joshua’s kinky soul leading to filthy hot scenes. While these kinky collection reads are meant to be quickies, this story felt a little rushed considering the character arc for Quinn, but I still enjoyed and rooted for her all the way.
Play Me is a dark and steamy romance that offers plenty of dirtiness with themes of healing and strength.
My anxieties and expectations were a little higher for this read than the others within this collection for whatever reason, and while the anxieties were unnecessary, the expectations were met and exceeded! For such a bite sized read, it was EV-ARY-THING!
The power play at work here is on a whole other level, and not what you would think. When Quinn goes from victim to survivor, retaking her power back and it is beautiful. Watching as she looses the chains of shame and grows into a fierce woman, with the guidance of Joshua, is a transformation that will blow you away. He allows her to stretch her fantasies in a safe environment, while stoking and playing into her darkest desires that will have you going up in flames while reading.
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this read and wish I could re-read it new over and over again. I’ve also come to realize that with each addition to this series, learning of how each kink works is cathartic. I get to test my limits within this world, and see what is out there.
Another amazing read, and I’ll sacrifice to whomever I have to in order to get more of these reads!
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.

Welcome to another one of Ker Dukey and K. Webster KKinky Reads Collections. I have loved all of these book and Play Me is no different. It is dark an will hold some triggers for some people. If you have triggers proceed with caution. This is the story of Quinn who experienced horrible things in college that caused her to withdraw from life but now that she is a business success she feels it is time to find someone to help her live out her fantasy. She reaches out to the owner of Hush and he knows that he is the only one that can handle this situation with care. I loved these two together. Joshua is determined to help out Quinn but as things progress he is also well aware that something is going on that he is not aware of and he is determined to get her to open up to him. This story is told in both points of view. Has it’s dark moments and is so good you will read it in one sitting. These are novella size stories that have instalove and some dark subjects but I loved it. I loved the characters. I loved seeing the previous characters from other books. I just loved and and I think all of you will too.
3.5 stars
Play Me by Ker Dukey & K. Webster is part of the KKinky Reads Collection, but can be read as a standalone. This was a quick read filled with a little bit of angst and a whole lot of sexy times. Keep in mind there is some content that will be a trigger for some. With that being said, these talented authors managed to write a taboo, kinky but sweet and sexy story that I enjoyed from start to finish. Joshua & Quinn had an unusual beginning. I loved the protectiveness and also the alpha side of Joshua. Quinn was broken but she was still strong & determined. I loved their dynamic & their chemistry was hot! This isn’t your typical love story but a good one anyway with a HEA.
****ARC generously provided in exchange for an honest review.****
This was enjoyable. It was a little rough to get through at first. There is a subject matter in this one that touched home with me. But I absolutely loved how these two authors wrote this incredible storyline. Something happens to Quinn when she is on the way home from a party that will forever change her life. She decides to take her life back and ends up at the club ran by Joshua. She reached out to him for help. She feels it will help her with what happened to her in the past. But little to either one of these know that this is going to bring them closer together. I absolutely loved Quinn. Her character is so well written. She is so strong through everything. The chemistry between her and Joshua is off the charts hot. I absolutely love how understanding he is. I will say there is a very shocking moment in this one. You will be blown away when you get to that point in the book. But another great book on this series.
Holy Moly! This is my first book by this duo although I’ve read K Webster before. I was not disappointed. I found another author to stalk now in Ker Dukey. This book is dark and can be triggering. I was at the edge of my seat from the very beginning. My heart was pounding, my breathing erratic and I couldn’t stop reading to know what happened next. It’s dark, dirty, and kinky but it’s so so so good. I’ll be picking up more of this duo now and reading the previous stories in this series next.
Scary hot! We all know those taboo kinks that are talked about in hush voices. Play Me is a steamy novella that starts off in a sex club and ends up against the wall, in your dark house and on the kitchen counter. Quinn has experienced some trauma in the past but with sex club owner, Joshua, she can discover a consensual way to explore her secret dark side. I love Joshua and his desire to fulfill fantasies…especially Quinn’s. The way he navigates what she needs but also keeps her feeling in control is pretty hot. I can’t stop devouring this series one tantalizing bite at a time.

Sweet!!
Flipping dirty talk.
All the feelings!!
Trigger / Rape warning.

Play Me by Ker Dukey and K. Webster is one Sexy/Sweet, Deliciously Dark Kinky romance novella that will have you sitting up, taking notice while taking notes
It’s a quick, exciting, steamy yet short novella. It’s short but filled with a dark and delicious treat. Joshua and Quinn’s chemistry is intense and amazing. I enjoyed the characters, feels, steam, scenery, and romance. Dark Romance is just the way to go…Ms. Dukey and Ms. Webster handled the delicate subject matters beautifully and in turn, wrote a beautiful story out of a terrible event. Loved this story and can’t wait for more in this series!!
My Rating: 4.5 stars *******
This story is so good in my opinion it’s a different kind of kink book from their series. But it also talks about other triggers for some people the book has role play in such a hot form for me. I really love how the character can go thru some traumatic experience and make it so steamy and sweet.
This is the sixth book in the K&K Kinky Treats.
From the first page I was hooked K&K just reel you in once again.
Quinn Washington is a broken women and a very talented business women at that.
She has one fantasy that she is looking for someone to fulfil roll playing and she thinks she has finally found the man to do that Joshua Tuck.
Joshua is the owner of Hush a sex club that you would know if you have read (Choke me & Daddy me)
He is dominant alpha male and hot as hell and knows what he wants Quinn.
He takes baby steps to give Quinn her confidence and to give her what she need’s she is more than a client to him she is everything he wants.
Can he fulfil Quinns fantasy he is the big bad wolf just waiting for little red to take the bait and she does.
As usual this book has a few twists that you do not see coming but believe me they are the best parts.
This book is in both POV which I love you will read this book in one sitting and you want to read it asap it’s a must read.
