Power Play by Cara Dee [Review]

Power Play

 

 

 

Plot:

I was my own worst enemy. For as much as I depended on order and a structured life to easier manage my bipolar disorder, fire was irresistible and indisputably my favorite toy to play with. On the ice, it turned me into a hotheaded hockey player. In the bedroom, my attitude was my last defense, a front I wanted to see tumbling down. But lately, all I got was burned.

 

Love sucked. Correction: it sucked when you were in love with your parents’ closest friend and he didn’t feel the same. I admitted my feelings for Madigan Monroe over a year ago, and I was still waiting for a response. Now my balance was gone. My anxiety was all over the place, my fits of rage had just earned me a suspension from the team, I questioned myself at every turn, and being home for two weeks was gonna make it impossible to avoid Madigan.

 

I used to be his Abel, his sweetheart, his trouble. It’d been the two of us against the world since I was a kid. I’d even discovered we had kink in common! On paper, I was seemingly perfect for him. Maybe that was why his nonverbal rejection hurt so much. Or maybe it was because, recently, he seemed hell-bent on us “being friends” again.

 

Whatever. I was a loser, and I couldn’t resist him for crap.

 

(DD/lb-dynamic, Age Gap) Goodreads rating: 4.03 stars

 

 

My short review on Goodreads because this was so good I was probably having a seizure afterwards: "This was SO SO SO GOOD. The beginning was a little slow but when it picked up the pace it was so good and hot and just ugh. Gimme more!" 5 STARS.

 

 

Don't you just LOVE it when you find a good ass book?. In a sea of crappy books to find a gem...what a day to be alive. Who is this Cara Dee, I love her?

 

The grammar was great and easy to understand, the plot was great, the characters were great and likable (the uke was a brat at the beginning but not one of those brats that piss you off and annoy you but a brat that goes down gently like tequila instead of like moonshine).

 

The whole Daddy/Little Boy dynamic? oh...oh my god, the whole Dominant/Submissive vibe, the whole SEX and don't even get me started on the whole age gap difference...do you hear that? this is my song they are playing.

 

 

Listen, do yourself a favor and read this please. Just...drop whatever you're doing and read this and then come back and comment telling me how good it was.
