Chloe Tally is shy by nature. When her sister died in a car accident that left her brother with burns and scars, it tore her family apart. She feel it should have been her in the accident, not her fun- loving, outgoing sister, who was the glue that held their family together. Since her parents blame her brother for the accident, it has divided the family and Chloe is what is in the middle, trying to keep it mended. So Chloe uses cosplay as a shield. Hiding her true self behind her character, she is able to step away from the dorky, awkward, broken girl she normally is and indulge in a little fun.

Chloe attends a Comic Con in her favorite Sari costume. In costume she is a sexy, confident woman that lands a night with a handsome Breck character of her dreams. The role-playing sex in his motel has Chloe wanting more, but fleeing before the handsome stranger finds out the type of person she is without the costume.

Grant Osprey, owner of Gamer's Magazine still can't get the nameless sexy vixen that rocked his world out of his head. He was disappointed when she left without a good bye, let alone her name or the exchange of numbers. He certainly didn't expect to see her again at a business lunch with his best friend and new partner Ethan, who introduces her as his little sister.

Chloe is nothing like the confident and sexy Sari character he remembered from their mind blowing night when they meet again. Grant takes the opportunity when they are left along to tell Chloe he certainly remembers her, and that he wants more of her. However each secret encounter with her has her hiding behind costumes brings him closer to falling for her and her closer to revealing her true self to him.

Realizing Chloe will only come out of her shell if she can role play, Grant tries to draw her out to reveal the woman he knows she truly is, and not the one she sees herself as. Can Grant convince her that he wants what it is she keeps hidden under the fancy costumes, or will Grant scare her away forever?

PLAYING FOR HER HEART is book two in the Gamers series by Megan Erickson. It can be read as a standalone since it focuses solely on Grant and Chloe. This book is an easy-going, fun, sexy read. Megan Erickson definitely has a diverse imagination when it comes to writing some pretty stellar sex scenes between these two. I found myself devouring and completely enjoying Grant's easy-going and joking personality. Chloe was a great heroine. I loved that she was shy and a bit insecure, but also found a way to let herself out in a way that worked for her. I truly enjoyed this story. It has great characters, and I cannot wait to see what Megan Erickson has in store for the rest of this series!

Book Summary

She wanted fantasy. He's about to make it a reality...

Grant Osprey just had the hottest sex of his life. Sure, they were both in costume, and yes, it was anonymous, but he never expected her to bolt in the middle of the night without so much as a good bye, let alone exchanging numbers. Or names. All he's left with are her panties and some seriously X-rated memories...until he meets his business partner's little sister.

Only Chloe Talley isn't the bold, sexy vixen he remembers. And she wants nothing to do with him.

Cosplay is Chloe's only chance to leave her boring, socially awkward world behind. To forget that she's failing at life and can't be with anyone, let alone a single-father like Grant. But the raw hunger between them is undeniable. With him, she can be a misbehaving maid. A sexy call girl for hire. Each scene pushes Chloe beyond her strict boundaries, until Grant demands the one character she can't play.

Herself.
