Till this point, I’m ready for four star. I forgot how T. L minds work. She got twisted,and when I say twisted,its twisted plot in her sleeve. That Twist earn more than four for Playette. But got to say my twisted dark mind wish the ending didn’t ends that HEA. But overall, I always have a special place for T. L. Smith work in my heart
Playette is a new and intensely intriguing mafia romance with depth and edge. I was swept away with this story from start to finish. It began explosively, and kept me riding the knife’s edge the whole way through. Isadora was a gritty and determined character who was feisty, courageous and sinisterly sexy. She was desirable personified. The story took many directions and it was a mystery how it would all unfold. It was a stunning and energetic story that was nail biting drama, full of dramatic brilliance, and contained a complex cast which were mesmirising. 5 stars.
Once again TL Smith delivers on point a dark, delicious nail-biter with plenty of lust and action.
Isadora is on a mission. She plans to single-handedly bring down the Moretti Mafia, the men responsible for the death of her family, and she will use any means necessary to that end; even if that means using her body and risks her own life in the process.
But this femme fatale assassin doesn’t bank of falling for the ruthless Mafia boss Jasper Moretti, and likewise, Moretti is not prepared for the dark, driven vixen who has caught his eye and become his obsession.
This is a fabulous game of cat and mouse and is fast paced with just enough sizzling chemistry, emotional sentiment and wonderful side characters to make this one hell of a ride.
Although at times this felt a little rushed and I would have liked both Issy and Jasper fleshed out a little more as characters, this is still a fantastic read and another superb story from this author, worthy of 4.5 stars.
A highly anticipated read, Playette by T.L. Smith was above and beyond my expectations. With high levels of suspense and temptation I was in my element.
This read received a well deserving 5+ stars!
Isadora is set to destroy the Moretti Mafia, and she’ll use any means necessary to do so – no mater how risqué it may be.
The deeper she gets, the more she realises just how dangerous this mission of hers is to achieve.
Then, in walks Jasper.
Oh boy, this book. This thrilling, intoxicating book.
I don’t want to get too in depth as I don’t won’t to ruin your reading experience, but if your were ever to pick up one of T.L. Smith’s books, this should be high on that list.
I absolutely loved Playette and all it held.
It comes highly recommended.
4.5 Stars
I love TL’s work that’s no secret but this one is one of my favourites. She has seriously outdone herself with this one giving us a delicious dark romance that will draw you in and keep you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen next.
I loved Issy! she was one kickass, feisty strong woman. To do what she set out to do she has sass, confidence and some serious lady-balls whilst being a sinful dream. She is driven by vengeance but when faced with those she was after she finds everything is not as black and white as she thought and there is room in her heart for more then vengeance.
“The things I keep don’t usually survive. You don’t want to be kept by me, Isadora”
Jasper is the bad boy you shouldn’t want to love but is so hot you can’t help it. He is the mafia boos, Issy’s target but when she meets him, she finally comes alive, wanting the man when she shouldn’t. He has had no-one love him, protect him until Issy, she bashes down his walls. The king may have finally met his Queen.
“She feels like everything I have ever wanted. She’s the piece you dream of moving to. She is my place.”
Once you start this journey of twists and turns you wont be able to stop until you have finished. As the story goes on you fall for the characters. I am hoping to see the other guys get their stories as I am intrigued by Ace and Carter.
Isadora is a strong and fearless heroine, who is determined to get revenge and take down the Moretti Mafia, by any means possible. Jasper is a mysterious and dangerous bad boy, who is the head of the mafia, and the chemistry between them is explosive. This is a beautifully written story which is intense, dark, and a fantastic read. I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner. Hat’s off to this truly gifted author, who never fails to deliver an outstanding masterpiece for her readers!! I highly recommend for all readers.
T.L. Smith delivers yet another fantastic dark romance with Playette. Determined to find the justice she needs to put the past behind her, Issy is prepared to do whatever she has to do to achieve that. Even if it means putting herself in danger. And that’s just what she does. She finds the men responsible and nothing is going to stop her reaching her end game. I actually really liked Issy. She’s so self confident and tenacious, she’s strong, sassy and fearless. To be honest she’s everything I want to be (without the whole vengeance thing). Shes a brilliant heroine who’s not going to let anyone stop her from getting what she wants.
Jasper is the head of the Moretti Mafia and he’s sooo hot. He’s got that special something that drew me to him. I don’t know if it was his confidence, his power or just his natural charisma but he won me over immediately. The chemistry between him and Issy is off the charts from the start but is that enough to save them both when the truth comes out?
This is another fantastic, intense, dark romance from T.L. Smith that once you pick it up, you won’t want to put it down.
Playette is such a good book. It’s well written, the storyline has enough twists and turns to keep you guessing and I found myself enchanted by some of the the characters. I kept turning page after page until there were no more to turn.
Issy lost everything in her life that she knew in the blink of an eye. She’s spent years perfecting every little detail, vengeance is going to be sweet although it’s a bitter pill to swallow. Jasper Moretti is an enigma to Izzy, his men are marked and her mentor will be proud.
Jasper is lured by her beauty, he’s missing a piece of the puzzle but retains all of his senses. Isadora is a rare find and he makes it his mission to bring her into his fold, but is smart enough to keep his eyes and ears open. He may be a ruthless business man, but he’s fair and chooses his victims wisely. With a loose cannon on his hands he has to make some tough choices.
I fell in love with this book from the first page. It kept my attention the entire time. I purposely read it slow because I didn’t want it to end. I love the spitfire Issy has become and the ruthless, mob boss Jasper became. These two are a power couple in the making. Beautiful, bloody, intense, page for page deliciousness. TL has become my one-click go to authors.
Playette is a standalone suspense driven romance.
Wow Isadora is one bad a@@! She is out for revenge and has no problems with taking care of the bad men.
Jasper Moretti is trying to discover what is happening to his men. When he discovers what is happening. Will Isadora live or die? Issy knows that if she is ever caught that it could mean her death sentence and that it probably wouldn’t be a slow death.
I thought that Playette ended a little differently than most of the romance books that I have read before.
This was one of those books where you want to just sit around and read beginning to the end and that is just what I did!
There are twists and turns to keep your interest and imagination working. I loved Playette!
Playette – T L Smith
T L Smith has absolutely smashed it with Playette!
Jasper Morretti is the head of the Morretti Mafia family. A role he inherited from his father and one that he takes very seriously. His men are not only loyal, they would die for him and what they want, they take.
Until a very unlikely adversary called Isadora gets under Jaspers skin and wreaks havoc on the family.
Brilliantly developed characters with a meticulously detailed story, woven around the horrific connection between Issy and Jasper.
Every character in this tale has a profound effect on the outcome of the story, weaving their own connections throughout it and getting under your skin, yes, even the bad guys have their good points.
This was definitely a story I’ll be rereading many times over and hoping that there might me more from Issy and Jasper in the future.
Brilliance x 10

I loved them both!! her fire and his ice clashed and burnt bright together! So right yet so wrong.
A different time, a different world and they would shine like the sun rather than light up the sky like only fireworks can.
T.L Smith is one of those authors who knows what you want in a book and delivers every single time.
A sensational breathtaking nail biting read from start to finish!
Wow. T.L. Smith has delivered yet another amazing unexpected story. Intense is too tame a word to describe this twisted tale.
Isadora is one strong kick ass heroine. You may not agree with everything she does but you will admire her tenacity. Together with Jasper they could set the world on fire with their chemistry. Revenge was never so sexy. I love the dark intensity of the story and the characters.
I am holding out hope this isn’t the last we see of Jasper and Issy. I want more more more.
So when I first found out that Playette was releasing, I was beyond excited. I’m a sucker for T.L. Smith Mafia/Dark Romances.
Let me tell you if you love mafia romances then this book is for you.
T.L. Smith did not disappoint, she Delivers yet another mafia romance that is going to claw inside your heart and lay down roots. It’s a mafia romance that will test boundaries.

T.L Smith brings us two stubborn strong heroes with power and confidence, without fear.
Isadora is hell and heaven, a woman full of confidence and courage but driven by hatred. Hatred that goes with it to the end and just waiting for revenge. A woman who is not afraid of the end result.

Love, hate, revenge and forgiveness are four things that both of them have in the past. Step by step they open to each other. Learn the truth even if it is bitter.

4.5 stars
“The things I keep don’t usually survive. You don’t want to be kept by me, Isadora.”
T.L. Smith doesn’t disappoint, that’s one thing for sure. With Playette she delivers merciless another fantastic dark romance that will test your boundaries.
“I’m a good girl, but I’ll be bad for you.”
Issy is one hell of a strong heroine. Wow. This woman has sass, power, self-confidence and courage all the while being fearless and looking like every men’s wet dream. Her mission is driven by hate but her heart is not as dark and hard as she might have thought. Lucky for Jasper, that Issy’s heart has a soft spot.
“She feels like everything I have ever wanted. She’s the place you dream of moving to. She is my place.”
Jasper is an easy to love bad boy mafia boss. Made by his past and upbringing, yet he managed to stay true to himself and turn things around. Never being on the receiving end of true and honest love yet his protective walls are still no match to the fresh air that Issy brings into his life.
“No. I’ve never done anything slow, and I don’t plan to do you slow either.”
Jasper and Issy are a power couple within the mafia world that you don’t want to miss. She’s his fire and he’s her fuel. A perfect match that was bound to happen.
“He’s where I feel I want to be. He is it. Home for me.”
Playette is another hot shot out of the magical feather of T.L. Smith that will flash your mind.
5 crazy stars!! I am still reeling from this twisted book!!
Isadora only holds vengeance in her heart. She has one mission and that is to end all of them….
This book is crazy good. I don’t even know wtf I just read. I don’t think I have actually even read a book like this before and I certainly enjoyed it. Roles were kind of reversed in this book. And Isadora went through hell and back. Shit Jasper and Isadora went through it too.
I loved the dynamics of this book. All the characters were not all who they seemed and that kept this book so damn interesting. Secrets were hidden that changed the outlook on everything.
I am so curious about Ace and Carter. I mean can they get s book please. They are some panty droppers for sure!!
This book was super sexy, crazy, hopeful, twisted, and so damn good. This is a very easy read that grabs you at page one and definitely keeps you coming back for more. This is a must read!!!
** I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book.**

I just could not put it down !! There was a for real mouth hanging open moment. Where I wanted to cuss my kindle. And some when I was like I’ll cut a ( insert word here. ). I loved the drama in this book and there was a lot. Isadora is one bad mama-Jama. !! And the mafia!! Who would have thought I would have been so into the mafia. Jasper can be my BOSs any day !! Whew. Can’t wait for more.
What a crazy ride this book took me on. Man I loved Isadora, she is one bad a$$ woman. And well she has to be for someone like Jasper. These two, not even sure how to describe them except holy hot af, they are like the perfect pair. Secrets, lies, revenge, love and a whole lotta sexy times. Definitely a 5 plus star read, has everything a reader could want.
Well…. that was fun. These are some smokin hot, seriously effed up characters and I LOVED IT! Doing what TL Smith does best, Playette was great. It’s got it all, mystery, suspense, some gore, some action, steamy hot scenes and bad people you end up loving and rooting for. This author never lets me down! One-click author, for sure!
