Nick and Sarah are a very active couple in the bedroom, kitchen, living room and anywhere else in the house. Sarah has a lot of reservations about getting married and having kids. Because of her previous history. Nick knows about the majority of her history. He’s even going to therapy with her to help her overcome her fears and hurts. Nick is kind of surprised when Sarah stated that she volunteered their services to babysit their friend Maggie and Terry’s kids for the weekend. Basically the bet was about once the weekend was complete one or the other will surrender about either having kids immediately after they were married or waiting more less. It was basically a lesson for both of them to understand that having kids even though they were various ages under the age of roughly 6 that it’s not easy. The book is funny. There’s a lot of steamy intense scenes granted. But everything is just not about games and entertaining kids. They have clue about important stuff that comes with kids. As weekend babysitters, There’s a lot of typical mistakes that they make but that’s par for the course. It was enjoyable read. Each one has their own little secret an apprehension about their relationship and how the kids affected them. No cliffhanger but it seems like there could be another part to their story since this is the second book on them. I didn’t realize it until I looked up the reading for author. But this doesn’t start off like it was from a cliffhanger book.

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC and wanted to give my honest review. This is a little different than most of the books I’ve read by Ellis O. Day. The intimate chemistry is still there, building and hot as ever, but this one has a more personal camaraderie with humor and a playfulness to it. Nick and Sarah have been together for some time now but Sarah continues to forestall setting a wedding date. Not because she doesn’t love Nick but because he wants children and Sarah has a past that has scared her off. That being said, Sarah has agreed to watch her friends three children hoping that Nick will realize what’s involved. Does the adventure work out like she hopes or will it backfire completely and how will this couple handle the results either way? This was a fun read, pulling all the physical and emotional strings I’ve come to expect from Ellis O. Day.
Nick had been pressuring Sarah about getting married and having kids Sarah surprises Nick with a weekend of babysitting 3 kids. They both realized that kids are a game changer. It’s a fun time of realization.

This is a wonderful story and I loved every word. Nick and Sarah are perfect together and the sex is incredibly hot. Any parent reading this will completely empathize with what Nick and Sarah experience and will completely understand Terry’s solution. There were times I laughed out loud so be careful where you are reading unless you want to explain why! The perfect book for difficult times.
Sarah thinks she has a way to stop Nick pressuring her about marriage and children so she arranges for them to babysit Maggie’s three for the weekend. Poor Nick is thwarted at every turn each time he tried to get some time alone with Sarah. She also has to face her own fears about becoming a mother. Read as a standalone, but worthwhile reading the whole series about these two. Wonderful, sympathetic characters and a great story.
A sneak peak into their sexy future………..with kids!!!
Playing House is the continuing story of Nick and Sarah. Their story started in Six Weeks of Seduction so if you want to get a full understanding of these two then you should read that book first. I had not read Six Weeks of Seduction prior and I still really enjoyed Playing House.
This book is funny, witty, romantic, very steamy hot and has some naughty twists. Ellis O Day is a wonderful writer and she has once again woven a great story-line and characters together into a thoroughly engaging and entertaining book.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
I’m a huge fan of this author and again I’m not left disappointed. This book is a slight departure but then it’s all about love and lust right?

TOO Funny – Life with kids is not easy! OMG – this is my first book from this author, and I love the style. This book was not only funny but romantically steamy. This story is about Sarah and Nick. They are engaged and apparently their story is in another set of Ellis’s books – Six Nights of Sin series, which I’ll have to read next. Apparently, she hasn’t set the date for their wedding and he is eager to get this to happen, but she is afraid that this relationship will end up disappearing because she is not ready to have a family. It is not that she doesn’t like kids, is that there something in her past that she is afraid of happening. She figures if she agrees to babysit three young kids with him, the having kids will die down on him and she can focus more on their relationship.
Let me just say – the story takes off when the kids come into play and he wants to have some intimate time with her, and they are not going to sleep!!! Their parents are funny too in this as they are going to a weekend getaway for the dad’s birthday, but when he comes back – he jokes by staying there longer so that the kids can play longer with Uncle Nick. The story is great, but I have a funny feeling that there may another one for them like their wedding and kids?

I love how this started out showing the playfulness Nick and Sarah share. Such a long way they have come since the “interview”. But as this story shows, their work isn’t yet done. They do know how to have hot, steamy fun!
The other thing I love is the way Ellis writes these stories. You can enter the fray at any point. You don’t need to have read the previous books in the La Petit Mort Club series, which are intertwined and continuations, to enjoy the one in front of you. Are you missing out by doing this? Absolutely! But that shouldn’t be a deterrent from starting this series, even if it is in the middle. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
This is book two in the La Petite Mort Club Intimate Encounters series. This is Nick and Sarah’s story. It has a great spin as Nick is the one that is all in for marriage and kids and the whole nine yards but Sarah is just not sure. The solution is to babysit her friend’s kids for the weekend. Nick sees this as a chance to prove his point, all is good to move forward. Sarah sees this as a chance to prove her point, this is hard work. This is a fantastic story full of real concerns, love and laughter. Enjoy!

Nick and Sarah have the perfect relationship and he wants to move it to the next level with children so he agrees to babysit for a weekend. It does not take long for him and Sarah to see having a child can change the freedom you have when it is just the two of you on consider. This a story that any couple and relate to and I loved this relationship that Nick and Sarah have.
This book is amazing! The first book I’ve read by Ellis but it certainly won’t be the last! The story of Nick and Sarah is hot, steamy and full of love and understanding. Nick wants to marry Sarah and have kids right away. And lots of them. Everytime she thinks about it, her past comes back to haunt her and the thought of being a mother frightens her. When her friend Maggie wants a weekend away with Terry, Sarah agrees to watch their three kids. Sure this will cure Nick of his desire for kids right away, they make a bet. The weekend is filled with wonderful times and rough times with the kids. By the time the weekend is over, Nick tells Sarah how he feels and she finally opens up and reveals some of the truth about her past and why the thought of having kids scares her. The two agree that the love they have will be enough, promising to work on and talk out whatever issues come up. This puts Sarah at ease and lets Nick finally know the truth about what why she has been so hesitant about starting a family.

Oh, Sarah and Nick both had it wrong but I liked reading this and seeing it from a fantasy point of view how kids can change a relationship. Nick and Sarah are explosive together and their banter and relationship is fun.
