Review: Playing Dirty by CL Parker

 C.L. Parker does not disappoint with this new story centered around the lives of two high powered sports management execs who's competition spreads far beyond the boardroom.

Shaw Matthews is the flashy, smooth talking charmer that everyone drools over; everyone except Cassidy Whalen, the no nonsense deal closer who is in competition with him for partnership at their sports management firm. Together they are like oil and water, trading insults and tick marks on the quest to rise to the top. But like the best recipes, when combined properly with the right ingredients, oil and water can result in something explosively good.

For us sarcastic girls, this novel will keep you cheering for Cassidy as she gives as good as she gets. In the end, its this bite in personality that makes the relationship between Shaw and Cassidy work as more than just a conquest. They begrudgingly respect each other, even if neither will admit it. The only real negative I have for this book is that you can't get the whole story in one sitting. As with all good things, they are worth waiting for so I'll keep the final installment marked "to-read" until its release in January 2016.
