When professional bridesmaid Cora Daniels breaks her own rule by agreeing to fill in last minute for an ill bridesmaid, she isn’t looking forward to being paired with playboy Ben Mason, especially after the devastating relationship she had with her cheating ex. However, she finds herself having a fabulous time, even though she turns down a date with Ben.
Ben Mason, wealthy and successful businessman, and reformed playboy finds himself totally captivated by Cora. When he runs into her being insulted by her ex at a coffee shop, he quickly swoops in for the save. He is ready to find something more than a one night stand and hopes that Cora is ready to give him that chance. But, can a playboy living in the spotlight change his ways and can Cora learn to trust again?
Ben and Cora were such a sweet couple. Ben is so gentlemanly and super attentive even though he is a bit oblivious when dealing with female clients and what the tabloids say about him as the city’s most eligible bachelor. Cora is incredibly genuine and wears her heart on her sleeve. She’s terrified to trust Ben because she knows how badly he can break her.
With the relationship drama caused by the tabloids and miscommunications, Cora and Ben will have to fight for their happy ever after. While I found the drama to be a bit expected, it was really well written. I loved Play the Part. It was a quick read and a very sweet romance. 4 stars.
Professional Bridesmaid! What a fun concept! And it made a fantastic story! I loved the chemistry of Ben and Cora. They were funny, and definitely steamy! A also liked the little drama that happened in the middle of the book. It made me love the characters more! This series is so fun already! I can’t wait to read more!
I’m a huge fan of this series and this book, Altho an independent of the first book it was definitely just as good! These two characters were meant for each other, but Ben had to work hard to convince Cora to take him seriously. This book had a bit of everything, love, drama and misunderstandings. I loved these two characters their chemistry was off the charts from the first meeting. It was a real joy to watch them navigate their way together. Can’t wait for the next book

What happens when you think you know what to expect from someone, only to find out you misjudged them completely? When Cora meets Ben Mason she is sure that he is exactly like her ex, a player who doesn’t know a thing about commitment or fidelity. But at every turn he shows an unexpected side of himself. As hard as she tries she cannot deny the attraction and connection growing between them. What follows is a sweet, honest, intense and realistic romance between two people who just want what we all want…Love.

What a fun series! Ben and Cora met in a unique way! Fun watching them fall in love over a series of a few months! If you like a happy ever after story this is a must read!
So here we are, moving to another state and couple in the Road Trip series. This time, Cora and Ben are thrust together due to a last-minute favor that Cora feels compelled to grant. She may not know Ben, but she knows his reputation, and she knows enough to stay far away from the flame of their attraction because she’s not up for another burn. Then she gets to know Ben and wonders if all of her preconceived notions are wrong. As for Ben, he knows from the first meeting that Cora is the woman he could go the distance with, if she would just give him a chance.
I loved Cora and Ben and their story so much. The humor (and what Ben refuses to eat, which I laughed out loud at), the realism, the working to move past old hurts, the emotion. All of it. I wanted to cry for Cora, but then for Ben just pages later because he wasn’t willing to just give up. These two fought for their richly deserved HEA, and now I just sit here waiting to see where we head next in this series.
