A standalone romance from #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Lauren Blakely…
He’s sexy, sophisticated, possessive…and my boss.
I’m trying to resist him, I swear. I’m good at resisting, and at playing pretend too. It’s what I do for a living. But as Davis Milo directs me in my first Broadway play, I’m having a harder time pretending that I don’t want him to take me. On the piano. In the … him to take me. On the piano. In the limo. In the dressing room. Anywhere and everywhere. And the more he guides me through staged kisses, the more I want them to be real.
***
I damn well know the first rule of directing: Never fall for your leading lady. But I’m captivated by her raw talent, and fighting this desire grows harder every day I spend with her. Keeping things professional isn’t an option. I want all of her. Soon we’re staying late in the empty theatre, our private rehearsals spiraling into new, forbidden territory. I swear I’m not playing with her heart, but how can I be sure that what she feels is real, and not a part of the play?

Playing With Her Heart was the fifth book in the Caught Up in Love series by Lauren Blakely. The series can be read as stand-alones; however, Blakely’s characters all grace each other’s stories throughout the books.
Jill McCormick was a struggling Broadway actress waiting for her big break. She gets it with the cast of the new …
I adored these characters! Despite blaming herself for past romantic trauma, Jill is an idealistic dreamer, a sucker for a good love story, and a genuinely nice person. Davis is a hard-ass director, very demanding, yet also intuitive about how to get the best performance out of his actors. All dirty-talking alpha male, yet not an over-the-top …

I purchased Playing With Her Heart by Lauren Blakely and this review was given freely.
A steamy workplace romance involving Broadway Director Davis and leading lady Jill. Jill is starstruck by the leading man who she has idolized for six years but realizes true love with another. Teen suicide, forgiveness, and multiple erotic scenes are …
Hot Hot Hot!! Loved this story and the characters. You just cannot lose with a Lauren Blakely couple!!
I have fallen in love with another author: Lauren Blakely.
What happens when you mix alpha male, sexy heroine, banter, dirty talking and sexy scenes? An epic romance story that will stick with you FOREVER.
I’m reading these series out of order, but it doesn’t matter. You fall in love with the characters as well as their stories and nothing is …
Typical Lauren Blakely book!

I enjoy all the books she writes. Keep writing!
Great writing
I have loved every book I’ve read by her. This one was no exception
I absolutely loved this book. I highly reccomend this book!!!
Who doesn’t love Lauren Blakely? I haven’t read one book of hers that I didn’t love! This book had great characters and Blakely’s writing is always top-notch when it comes to romance. I loved this book because it was different. Not too many romance novels that involve a famous director on Broadway and a budding actress. I couldn’t put it down. I …
Lauren Blakey is awesome!
Very nice read. Slightly older director, young actress in her first major role. Is he jus playing her or is he for real. Some ups and downs and amazing chemistry.
Didn’t get beyond the first chapter.
So much passion and pleasure…Jill is one lucky woman!!! Davis is a giving partner and puts Jill’s pleasure first!!!
I thought this book was original and layered two stories of heartache together. Very well written.
I would definitely recommend this book to friends.
Very sweet love story……was not sure it would work out, but the characters were very believable and you could feel the passion Jill had for her work.
