Play Along is the fourth book in the Windy City series and when it comes to a series, I always worry that newer instalments won't live up to the previous ones. I devoured this in less than 24 hours and yes, it is another massive five stars.

If you haven't read any of the Windy City books yet, they are sports romance novels centred on a friendship group. Each book focuses on a different couple. This time round it is Isaiah Rhodes, baseball player for the Windy City Warriors and brother of Kai Rhodes from Caught Up, the previous novel.

We knew from the previous books that Isaiah had a thing for Kennedy Kay, the team's athletic trainer, but she was engaged. I love how this book started, with their first meeting three years prior and Isaiah finding out something that no one else knew about Kennedy.

Fast-forward three years later, Kennedy has now been single for eight months and Isaiah is still pining after her. I won't go into too much of the plot but this book is giving fake dating/marriage of convenience and in true Liz Tomforde style, a beautiful depth to each of her characters. I said this before, but Tomforde writes personalities and issues very well and I'm pretty sure I had heart eyes for Kennedy and Isaiah the whole way through. I love how they work through things and bring out the best in each other.

I read the other books about six months ago but I fell straight back into this world again. The crossover of characters is done perfectly and I am delighted to hear that Rio's book is coming next!
