Playing the Playboy

Heirs of Damon, Volume 2

De: Noelle Adams

Narrado por: Angela Dawe

Laurel will do anything to save her Santorini inn from the powerful Damon family, and that includes manipulating Andrew Damon, the man they've sent to get her off the property. Andrew might have a reputation for being irresistible to women, but she won't have any problem resisting him. This is war, after all, and the Damons drew their weapons first.

Andrew has spent most of his life chasing women and wasting time, but he's determined to do his duty by his family, even if that means ousting an infuriating (and gorgeous) widow from the inn that legally belongs to the Damons. He doesn't expect to fall for her. And he definitely doesn't expect to discover that he's been played.

Can’t Keep a Fun Man Down

Audible Escape
Our heroine is hard working , no charity taking type of gal. Our hero is just plain fun at heart. Another great performance by Ms Dawe. All her accents are so spot on. This story has a special place in my heart, as I too got to spend a vacation on Santorini a few clicks from the town of Oia. Yes the cliff side hotels are as picturesque as this author writes. Lots of cats to give you comfort during a terrace breakfast. And Yes, every breakfast has Greek yogurt. The Greek have the best genuine hospitality in the world.
This story rates a second listen. I do use the 1.2 speed as it puts you right there on the high cliffs of Greece.
Were my comments of help?

Great book

This is a really enjoyable series and this was a great book. It was a good and romantic book. I liked the slight bit of mystery to it. And I love the narrator.

GREAT NARRATOR!!

The male voice was especially believable and enjoyable. Story was heart wrenching enough without being absolutely devastating.

Annoying, frustrating and just not what I expected

Wasn't as good, not very interesting until the end and the girl was just too annoying and dumb. Very selfish and not interesting most of the time. Wish it would have been better. Not the best work compared to the first book. The story was ok.

Playing the Playboy

Playing the Playboy I quite enjoyed this book. It is paper of the series some good some not.

Incredibly emotional - in a good way.

PLAYING THE PLAYBOY title is a play on words. It might give the impression that the hero, Andrew, lacks a little in character. However, do not be deceived. This novel has depth, wonderful characters who grow within its pages, and heartfelt romance and love. Oh, and it’s set on the Greek Island of Santorini. Heaven.

I first listened to SEDUCING THE ENEMY – book 1 (about Andrew’s brother Harrison) and loved it, but PLAYING THE PLAYBOY surpasses that by another level. Andrew and Laurel are good people who fit well together in terms of who they are today and their hopes for the future. Their chemistry and passion were lovely as they unfolded on the page. The build up to the climactic events that could make or break their relationship was brilliantly executed. My own heart broke when the metaphoric maelstrom blew into their idyllic cocoon of love. The intensity of the feelings evoked by the turbulence is something not many authors can create. I loved it, and the way it resolved. What a beautiful romance.

This is my favourite Noelle Adams novel so far, and I’ve read several. I’ll be back for more.

Narrator Angela Dawe is masterful in her characterisations. She utilises a sweet voice for Laurel, a convincing male sounding voice for Andrew and different voices for other characters. Additionally, she uses her own voice for the narrative/non-dialogue parts of the story. When the characters from books 1 and 2 meet, the voices she used in SEDUCING THE ENEMY are consistent and distinct. Ms Dawe is truly talented and speaks with emotion, the right inflection and excellent timing. I love her narrating style. She definitely can elevate the "reading" experience of any book. For me, she was magic in PLAYING THE PLAYBOY. Unfortunately, she only narrates the first 2 books in this series.

I highly recommend this novel, especially in the Audible format for the second-to-none narration.

Very enjoyable book.

I really enjoyed this book. I have really liked all the books that I have listened to with Angela Dawe as a narrator. This is the second book by Noelle Adams that I have listened to/read and so far so good. I will continue with the rest of the series as well as additional books by this author. I recommend giving it a try.
