Playing For Time was certainly worth the wait! This is a story about finding your soul mate, but it also shows that not every relationship runs smoothly and sometimes a couple have to walk away until the time is right. Leesa Bow has written an emotional story that had me enthralled throughout and unsure if this couple would be able to overcome their fears to be together. I loved how fate kept ensuring Alli and Darcy’s paths crossed, and the text messages storyline was so moving and allowed us to understand one of the characters better. I also find the setting of Australia beautiful and the perfect place for a romance. Leesa Bow incorporates the setting so well within the story that it adds to and allows you to ‘see’ what’s happening. This author definitely has a way with words.
I absolutely love this whole series and can’t pick my favourite book or couple because they’re all amazing and 5 star reads. We get to catch up with old friends in this addictive addition to a series that I’ll always read again and again. I’ve said this before, and I’ll keep saying it, I wish Leesa Bow was discovered by more readers. She deserves to be a best selling author! So if you haven’t picked up any of her books yet, please make sure do you as you’ll then want to read them all. I discovered this very talented author by chance and I’m so glad that I did. You won’t be disappointed!
*I voluntarily reviewed an advance complimentary copy of this book
This is an emotional moving story, really there is a lot of heart-felt feelings running through this one, ups and downs, pain and hurt but from these emotions springs love, a deep love, but it takes time for Allie and Darcy to get there, they have a lot to overcome first, I thoroughly enjoyed this one, I hope you will pick this one up and enjoy it as I did.
Allie is a domestic flight attendant, she is quiet and comes across reserved, she lost her parents when she was just ten years old and has been bought up by her loving grandparents, her grandmother is not well at the moment and Allie spends a lot of time with her and Pops but she meets a lot of people on her flights and one of them is Darcy Rayne top football player for The Adelaide Thunder team, Footy or any sport for that matter is not Allie’s cup of tea but for some reason she is drawn to the man Darcy and cannot deny the pull that he causes.
Darcy Rayne is a player on and off the field, but he wants nothing more than being the best in football and aiming for a grand final is what he is after, but he has met the beautiful flight attendant on a couple of flights now and he feels connected to her for some reason, and he decides that he needs to be with her, although it is not easy he has been hurt before, but the pull is so hard to let go off and the sensual and emotional connection grows.
Did an old phone number and fate bring Allie and Darcy together? What is this connection that will not go away, the need they have for each is spiraling with emotion and a very sensual attraction. I have to say I really did enjoy this book even though there were times that I struggled with Allie and then I was cheering her on and Darcy yes again I could have pushed him and then cheered for him as well and yes there were tears and sighs and smiles, wow you got me invested in this one MS Bow, you pulled at my emotions and had me turning the pages, yes this is one that I highly recommend.
First book by Leesa Bow. It was a good read. It was hard to get into the story at first but after chapter 4 it started getting better and kept my interest. The story was sweet and steamy. I was so happy to see Darcy and Ali get their HEA.
Alli who lost everything at such a young age, who has the biggest heart, plays it safe doesn’t let anyone close for fear of them leaving. she keeps her family close. Darcy plays rugby, the best in his game, Alli is a flight attendant who happens to be on a few of his flights. Two people who don’t let love in, may just have meet their match in one another. Can they let go of their hang ups and let love in?
This is the first book I have read by Leesa. It was enjoyable. A sweet touching story line. They meet on a plane and start something. But when she needs him the most he isn’t there. Will she forgive him? Touching sweet moments in this story line. Well written story line. Some great characters. I loved Pops. Definitely has me wanting to read more from Leesa.
So Darcy and Alli aren’t your normal couple. They don’t meet, fall in love and live happily. This one takes work and priorities in order before they finally become a couple. Football is life for Darcy. He never had work for a woman before. They all were easy due to his success in football. Meeting Alli changes his way of thinking. Sure they might have jumped into bed early but you can’t fault her for falling for his charm. He definitely has it. He also has a heart and cares for others. Alli is a sweet girl. She went thru a tragedy and thanks to her grandparents, made her who she is today. Her brother is whole other story. I kinda felt bad for her. She realized that he moved on and found a new family to which she thought he didn’t need her anymore. It was kinda heartbreaking. These two characters were fun and real all at the same time. I enjoyed this book!
Allie is a flight attendant, and Darcy is a star rugby player, and both of these characters struggle with their troubled pasts. This is a well written story which is heartbreaking, heart-warming, and humorous with twists which had me intrigued and hooked throughout. I look forward to reading more from this author in the future.
What a fantastic read!
This is a great story with all the feels and it reduced me to tears at one point. The characters are well thought out, with depth and flaws that make you connect with them and feel their pain, their excitement, their joy.
I love how Ms Bow is able to interweave her stories so that you get glimpses of previous characters without it detracting from the main story in any way. She is a wonderfully talented author and I cannot wait to see what she does next.
A must read.
A good solid read. The main characters we really stubborn and a lot could have been resolved if they had just talked to each other but I’m glad they worked it out in the end.
