It’s like the New York City rain is crying for me; I can’t cry anymore; I’m way past that. And going to audition after audition, all they ever do is confirm my suspicion that although I have a passion, it may be misplaced. Until Nathan appears. Almost like a dream, he literally appeared across a crowded barroom. His perfectly draped short black hair emphasized his beautiful brown eyes and his … matinee idol good looks. And he looked back. I moved to him and said something stupid; he responded as though I had quoted Shakespeare. It was an attraction and it was theatrical as hell: a producer with his heart set on the great American story… it’s like I made him up. This whirlwind affair we began that night with a drink developed fast and furious into a great working relationship and a passion for the ages. If only I could shake that idiot of an ex, Dillon, a boxer whose few brain cells were addled by all the hits he’d been taking over the years since we left high school. But I wasn’t thinking of that when I tumbled into Nathan’s bed; it was a kind of giddiness that I never questioned. On stage, in rehearsals to develop his brilliant project, the love we had was only accentuated. He loved every inch of me and made sure I knew it. If only my father would stop calling and threatening to pull the plug. It all hinged on the success of this amazing musical I was now starring in. Sparks are flying and passion is everywhere in the room when he is there. But it all hinges on opening night: if it’s a success, my life is set; if not, its business school for me.

This is the first book that I have read from this writer. It was a little difficult for me to get into. But once I did it was enjoyable. Tessa is trying to make it on Broadway. She only has 12 months to succeed or she will have to start business school. One night she meets Nathan. Nathan is a producer who is trying to put a play together. He instantly falls for her and wants her as the leading role on this play. As these two work closely together sparks start to fly. But her ex is going to throw a wrench in the making. Will things work out for Tessa and Nathan? Will the play end up making her a star? Interesting storyline with characters that have some great chemistry.

This was an easy read with an engaging storyline and the characters are well developed and engaging with enough steam to set the pages on fire.

Once I started this book I couldn’t put it down. It is a seamless blend of an unknown actress, a fairly new producer who has had an off-Broadway flop, and an established British writer brought over to write an American theatre work. It tells how they got together and produced an extremely current political satire for Broadway. Kudos!

Tessa has to make it to Broadway in a year, or give in to her father’s demand that she go to business school. She meets Nathan and they begin an affair at the same time that they start work on a new musical. Her high school boyfriend keeps popping up – he’s a boxer who’s a few brain cells short, and he wants her back. There is a happy ending. It was an okay story, although I had some trouble following it at times. I really like this author’s work in general.

It got my attention on the first page and kept me interested all the way through. It is fast-paced. It is amazing. Laura Havemeyer has the ability to tell a story and make the reader feel like they are a real part of it. I loved all the characters. The love developed quickly between Nathan and Tessa but that didn’t make it any less intense. The ending was especially wonderful. I highly recommend Play With Me.

I thought the book was well-written. The story line moved at a good pace and Tessa and Nathan were good characters to carry it out. It’s a tough life out there on Broadway, and I think the author did a good job portraying that.
ONE EXCITING EXPERIENCE!!!
Sizzling! Talk about hot, steamy and intense. Laura came through with this pulse racing, smooth flowing, smoldering storyline and engaging plot that brings this little gem to life beautifully. The trials and tribulations, along with a few glitches and scrapes draw you in so deep you feel as though you’re right there. Laura brings all of your emotions swirling into play so realistically it’s easy to get swept away. The characters and scenes are written with such realism it makes a perfect backdrop for this amazing read. Incredible job Laura, thanks for sharing this bad boy with us.
Tessa has two months to become a successful actor, or go to business school. Tessa is constantly referred to as being Aryan, comes of as racism to this reader.
Nathan is a producer of a play she wants to be in. Her ex-boyfriend complicates things.
