PLAYING WITH TROUBLE is book two in the Capital
Confessions series about law
student Blair Reynolds and Professor Graydon Canter. This
book can be read as a stand alone because you get a
refresher about Blair and what lead up to her attending
law
school.
Blair comes from a family with high expectations. Her
father
is a senator with high political ambitions and her mother
is a
socialite hostess. You get a bird's eye view into how
this
family deals with scandal and how they decide to handle
them.
After the public humiliation and the disaster of her
wedding
day Blair looks for a way to put herself back together.
So
she enters law school. Her class professor Graydon Canter
seems to find pleasure by constantly calling on her in
class.
She considers him a sadist even though she has secret
fantasies about him.
Gray has been drawn to Blair since the first day she
entered
his class. Not only does he know it's inappropriate but
because of the train wreck he's made of his life he knows
he
can't pull anyone else into it.
If you have not read Book one, Flirting With Scandal, I
recommend it because you get to see how Blair's family
dynamic
began and how all the scandals began. You get to meet
Jackie
and Will and their crazy beginning.
In PLAYING WITH TROUBLE Blair decides to go for what she
wants
and she wants Gray. Gray has been trying to do what he
feels
is the right thing and to not get involved with Blair
because
he feels that his past will only hurt her. Blair has
always
been the good girl and has always done what was expected
of
her. So when she finds herself at her breaking point she
goes
to Gray and tells him exactly what she wants. Gray can't
resist her any longer and gives her what she wants and
what he
has always wanted.
Their secret relationship along with Gray's past is
revealed
in a society blog. The one thing Gray never wanted to
happen
was for his past to hurt Blair in any way. So he feels he
has
to save her by walking away. Blair is shocked and hurt
when
she discovers who has been feeding information to the
society
blog. Blair is willing to weather the storm but she can't
convince Gray to try.
Gray has to decide if he and Blair deserve a chance and if
he
is willing to put everything on the line for him and Blair
to
have a chance together.
This is a great series! Looking forward to the final book
about Kate.
The author of Flirting with Scandal presents her second
book
in a sexy contemporary romance series about three sisters
in
a powerful political family, the scandals that threaten
to
destroy them, and the passion that drives them…
The daughter of one of the Senate's most powerful
figures,
Blair Reynolds was ready to become the ultimate political
wife—until she caught her fiancé cheating on her wedding
day. Law school is a fresh start, her shot at putting the
pieces of her life back together. That’s the plan, at
least.
Until trouble comes in the form of her Torts professor,
the
man whose arrogance infuriates her in class but haunts
her
private fantasies.
Graydon Canter had a fortune and a place on all the
hottest
"Thirty under Thirty” lists, until a series of personal
missteps nearly destroyed his career. A year teaching at
a
D.C. law school is just the break he needs to get his
life
back in order, as long as nothing—and no one—trips him
up.
When Blair and Gray are forced to work together, their
explosive attraction becomes impossible to resist. But
Gray’s demons have drawn him dangerously close to the
edge,
and Blair has spent her life playing by the rules. Will
she
break them for a shot at love?
