This was such a cute read!

I really enjoyed Ben and Cora!! It was upsetting how clueless Ben was to how his actions affected her, and I was glad to read their HEA.

A quick, sweet read...this series does not need to be read in order to enjoy.

I really enjoyed this book. I couldn't put it down once started. Who knew being made to be in a wedding and paired with someone could bring love?

I loved Ben and Cora together, they may of had a rocky start. But it wouldn't of been a true relationship without ups and downs.

I highly recommend this series. ...more

So here we are, moving to another state and couple in the Road Trip series. This time, Cora and Ben are thrust together due to a last-minute favor that Cora feels compelled to grant.

‘Play The Part’ by A.K. Evans is an incredibly sweet and romantic book. Cora is a professional bridesmaid, she loves her job and is very good at it. What makes her good is her dedication and professionalism. So when she’s forced to actively participate in a client’s wedding she finds herself partnered with a sexy billionaire playboy who wreaks havoc on her senses. Ben is obscenely wealthy and up until recently happy with his hookup lifestyle. But as he gets older his priorities change and he sta ...more

When Cora agreed to plan the wedding the last thing she wanted was to actually be a bridesmaid in the ceremony, especially once she finds out who her escort is.

Ben is sexy, successful and was happily single however he is beginning to want more. When he meets Cora, he knows that she is special but convincing her that he is not just a playboy but looking for the right person is a challenge he is willing to accept.

Hot chemistry, witty banter and once Cora was willing to open her heart to the fact t ...more

I liked this book! It was a REALLY enjoyable read. I found both of the characters to be relatable and liked their journey together. Cora was not a pushover and I really liked how she stood up for herself and her feelings. Ben, oh super hot billionaire Ben, who does not usually do relationships but is trying--- so hot!

All in all, this book was funny, steamy, and had a great story line- I give it a 4.5 outta 5!

5 Stars

What happens when you think you know what to expect from someone, only to find out you misjudged them completely? When Cora meets Ben Mason she is sure that he is exactly like her ex, a player who doesn’t know a thing about commitment or fidelity. But at every turn he shows an unexpected side of himself. As hard as she tries she cannot deny the attraction and connection growing between them. What follows is a sweet, honest, intense and realistic romance between two people who just want wh ...more

I’m a huge fan of this series and this book, Altho an independent of the first book it was definitely just as good! These two characters were meant for each other, but Ben had to work hard to convince Cora to take him seriously. This book had a bit of everything, love, drama and misunderstandings. I loved these two characters their chemistry was off the charts from the first meeting. It was a real joy to watch them navigate their way together. Can’t wait for the next book

Play The Part is the second book in what is shaping up to be a great series. I love the theme of a different couple, different state for each book and the covers reflect this idea so nicely.
Ben and Cora are the main characters in this second installment and I really enjoyed their story and rooted for them to find their HEA. This book has sweetness, humor, emotion and love for the reader to enjoy. A great read to cuddle up with on the couch. I definitely recommend. 4 stars

This was a really good book! I loved Ben and Cora, Ben was such a sweetheart who knew exactly what he wanted and would go to any length to prove his love!

I really liked how Cora and Ben met, I think it was so sweet and I loved how Cora turned him down to start with!

The only downside was that it's a fairly short read and I would've loved a bit more character development so I was more invested in their relationship, but it was still a really good story! ...more

Cora doesn't want to another one of his many girls and Ben is looking for something more. When Cora accepts his offer to help her out of a sticking position things become a little more serious for the two of them. ...more
