The Playboys of Sin Valley #1
Playing House
I only showed up to crash my best friend's sister's wedding. So how did I become the groom?! Oops!
When I charged up those courthouse steps to stop Sera's wedding, I didn't exactly have a plan.
But there's no way I was letting my best friend's little sister marry some no-good tool who doesn't deserve her.
Let's just say things got out of control. Fast.
Now, the wedding is off. And Sera is crushed. And I'm just trying to be a good friend.
"Come stay at my place. Until you're back on your feet."
"Have some tequila. It'll ease the pain."
"And what's a few much-needed orgasms between friends?"
Well, maybe I crossed the line with that last one.
Oh, but it gets worse...
Because we just woke up naked and hungover. And Sera's wearing a big, ugly diamond ring.
On second thought, "oops!" might be an understatement.
I mean--I'm Jason Bellino. Confirmed bachelor. Pro football's ultimate playboy...I don't do relationships.
And she's my complete opposite. A good girl. A rule-follower. The Sweetheart of Sin Valley...She doesn't do no-strings-attached flings.
Talk about 'opposites attract'.
Now, we've got this whole accidental marriage situation going on. Hot damn. I'm completely in over my head.
But married life isn't half-bad, I guess. I could get used to the wall-shaking orgasms, the laughing and bantering together over our breakfast cereal, her cheering me on at my football games.
I should be trying to get rid of her. But more and more, I just want her to stay.
So how do I convince my oopsie-wife to play house with me...forever?
Playing House is a steamy, laugh-out-loud, best friend's sister, accidental marriage small town romance. It is set in small town Iowa and is book one in the Playboys of Sin Valley series.

Honestly?? I wasn't in love with this book. Like it wasn't bad by any means but it was just eh?
I liked the cast of the story, I felt they added a lot without being suffocating in the way that happens when there are spin-offs. And I mean I liked Jace but he really was just bland compared to other book male leads... Sera was just two dimensional to me. She didn't really have personality? Or maybe it was just that she didn't stand out? I don't know but I felt like she could have been anyone?
I will say I am here for the Latina rep, it's hard for me to find stories with leads I can relate, culturally, to. Just too bad that this book was just not it for me.

Playing House de Cassie-Ann L. Miller Serie The Playboys of Sin Valley libro 1
Argumento:
Solo me presenté para irme a la boda de la hermana de mi mejor amigo. Entonces, ¿cómo me convertí en el novio? ¡UPS!
Cuando subí los escalones del juzgado para detener la boda de Sera, no tenía exactamente un plan.
Pero de ninguna manera iba a permitir que la hermana pequeña de mi mejor amigo se casara con una herramienta inútil que no la merece.
Digamos que las cosas se salieron de control. Rápido.
Ahora, la boda está cancelada. Y Sera está destrozada. Y solo intento ser un buen amigo.
"Ven a quedarte en mi casa. Hasta que te pongas de nuevo en pie ".
"Toma un poco de tequila. Aliviará el dolor ".
"¿Y qué son algunos orgasmos muy necesarios entre amigos?"
Bueno, tal vez crucé la línea con ese último.
Oh, pero se pone peor ...
Porque acabamos de despertarnos desnudos y con resaca. Y Sera lleva un anillo de diamantes grande y feo.
Pensándolo bien, "¡Ups!" podría ser un eufemismo.
Quiero decir, soy Jason Bellino.
Soltero confirmado. El playboy número uno del fútbol americano... No hago relaciones.
Y ella es todo lo contrario. Una buena chica. Una seguidora de reglas. La novia del valle del pecado... No tiene aventuras sin ataduras.
Hablando sobre "los opuestos se atraen".
Ahora, tenemos toda esta situación de matrimonio accidental. Maldito calor.
Estoy completamente por encima de mi cabeza.
Pero la vida matrimonial no es tan mala, supongo. Podía acostumbrarme a los orgasmos estremecedores, las risas y las bromas juntas sobre nuestro cereal de desayuno, ella animándome en mis partidos de fútbol.
Debería estar intentando deshacerme de ella. Pero cada vez más, solo quiero que se quede.
Entonces, ¿cómo puedo convencer a mi esposa de que juegue a las casitas conmigo ... para siempre?
Mí humilde opinión:
Un divertido y sexy romance de amigos a amantes con temática de deporte.
En serio, para empezar, Sera y Jace me sacaron de quicio durante casi toda la historia. Jace no creía en el amor por el fallido matrimonio de sus padres, COMPRENSIBLE cuando la madre se casó cuatro veces, Sera temía volver a confiar en un hombre cuando su prometido la dejó plantada en el altar, de nuevo COMPRENSIBLE, lo súper entiendo pero vamos chicos! Dónde estaba la comunicación? Odio cuando todo se malinterpreta o se supone y todo termina alargando con bastante angustia innecesaria hasta que hablan y lo solucionan. La pasé fatal con esta pareja PERO...
Había un cariño y compañerismo genuinos entre los protagonistas. Así que disfruté verlos haciendo funcionar su matrimonio y admitir que se amaban perdidamente mientras 'jugaban a la casita'. Sera y Jace una pareja taaan linda, me gustaron sus personalidades, eran muy distintos y eso los hizo interesantes y perfectos el uno para el otro, había mucho calor entre ellos, me hicieron abanicar, reír y suspirar con alguna de sus escenas.
Quise golpear a Jace muchas veces pero luego iba y hacia o decía algo que me derretía de amor.
'No sé cómo ser un marido. Nunca he tenido ningún tipo de relación. Pero por ti, aprenderé. Me pondré a trabajar. Haré crédito extra. Me capacitaré. Todo ello. Solo dime que me darás una oportunidad'.
Por otro lado Sera tenía poca confianza en sí misma pero a la vez era fuerte y decidida. Me gustó que le hiciera frente a Jace cuando se portaba como un idiota.
Hay personajes secundarios dando vueltas que creo que son de otros libros y me gustaron mucho. Me quedo con la intriga de qué pasa con Declan y Minka, Wyatt y Desiré hasta que lea sus libros!
Cómo dicen, el amor no es fácil y entregar tu corazón mucho menos pero Jace y Sera, amigos desde la infancia, descubren que al final todo vale la pena.

Disappointing
The storyline has so much potential but I personally felt that a lot of the more significant points in the book were a bit anticlimactic. Spoiler alert- the whole book I was kind of waiting to see what Wyatt’s reaction would be to his best friend marrying his sister and then most of that reaction readers don’t actually witness anyway. There was so much potential for humor there that kind of fell flat for me. And the writing towards the end of the book felt very rushed to me.
Great potential, intriguing character & set up, but it just didn’t totally deliver for me.

Jason and Sera are friends who end up married after Sera is left at the alter by someone else. Their story is written in first person from a dual POV.
I really enjoyed Jason and Sera. I loved the steam between them, their friendship, and Jason's willingness to change and settle down with the girl he had loved for a long time while refusing to admit his feelings. I love that their crush on each other was really so much more. There is a lot of heat, and some funny moments along the way. I really liked the way they comfort and are there for each other. This was thoroughly enjoyable book and I look forward to reading of this series and more books by this author who has been on my TBR for a while.

3 star story with 5 star sex scenes
This book frustrated me so much!! Here is a quick re-cap of the story and my two cents.
Quick re-cap:
Jace is Sera’s brother’s best friend. Sera is about to marry another man and Jace can’t stand the thought. He’s about to break up the wedding when Sera is stood up at the alter. She and Jace get drunk and wind up married. Will they stay together or get an annulment?
My two cents:
I read and watch a lot of romance. I don’t expect originality in romance, but I do expect the romance media to not repeat the same thing over and over again.
This whole book can be summed through this five step process.
1. We should get an annulment
2. We should have sex instead
3. I can’t trust my own feelings because of my history
4. I love you more than anything and we should be together forever
5. REPEAT
I was tired after cycling through this process twice, but it kept going and going and going. Ugh!
Bonus, the sex was worth the repeating cycle. And there was a lot of it! Yes! Grab that relief folks! You will want it near by after reading this. Heck, skip the story and just cut to the sex scenes. No worries, you won’t miss much.
Overall, I would skip this one. Sure there are a few funny parts and enjoyable sex scenes, but the story itself was too redundant to keep my interest. I almost stopped reading it multiple times. I won’t be looking for the other books in the series. Happy reading y’all!!

So much repetition
There was so much repetition and inner dialogue that it made the book so slow moving. I have to say this one was just ok for me. Didn’t really connect with it…..though one thing I did like was there was a grandma that made me think of Betty white. Best character in the book! Loved her.

Meet Jace and Sera. They’ve known each other forever. He is her brother’s best friend. He also has a bit of a thing for her. Too bad she’s about to get married. He supported her with all of the wedding preparation and then on the day of the wedding, decided that he wasn’t going to let her marry a guy he didn’t feel was good enough for her. But somehow, Jace ends up married to Sera instead. The two have to figure out what to do after an unexpected, drunken wedding. Can they make some thing that started out as a mistake turn into something real?
The book was cute for the most part. It was sweet watching these to really start to fall for each other. So when the inevitable conflict/drama rears its ugly head, it kind of ruined the book for me. The end was so contrived and convoluted that it kind of killed the romance. These to get there happily ever after, but I hardly cared when it finally came. But I overall enjoyed this. Just not so much the end.

4.1 stars
I was !looking for a fun easy read when I discovered this book. Color me surprised when I found this book because it was more than that. I fell in love with the characters and their friends. I found myself smiling as Jace and Sera traversed the line of friends and now married.
There were moments I did get frustrated at their denial of their feelings but it wasn't enough to stop me from liking the book. I hope the secondary characters get books to as this is a great start for future stories.

This author is now an auto-buy author for me - I laugh and swoon when I read her books! Jace and Sera have been friends since they were kids, but nothing happens until they are forced (well, not forced exactly) to live together after Sera's fiance leaves her. Of course they are MFEO.

DNF 45%
It was a bit boring. The conflict was annoying. They were like, "We should get an annulment right?" "Oh, you want an annulment? Ok." "Aw, man, you want an annulment? Sure." I want to protect my heart. "Let's get an annulment." I wish they would just say they like me and we can be together.
I'd rather see them get over their hang ups by spending time together. He can learn it's ok to be in a stable relationship. She can learn to value herself and do her career thing with a supportive partner, or whatever.

Judging by all the great reviews, it does get better…
Judging on the first few chapters, it’d about have to.
Too slow-moving to hold my interest. To much childish, needless language. It reads as if a 15 year old wrote it—one who has no parental supervision concerning the things the teenager is allowed to say.
Clearly, a lot of people love it. I, as it turns out, am not among them.

DNF. Nothing grabbing enough another this. & honestly I’ve read high school romance better than this. The writing just didn’t connect me to the story. The plot had potential but just didn’t get executed right.

Not So Small Town
Sera is stood up on her wedding day. Her friends take her out to drown her sorrows that night and she ends up drunkenly marrying her brother's best friend, Jace. She'd already agreed to stay with Jace for a while because she couldn't go back to her ex-fiances place and staying with her mom or friends would apparently just be too much of a pity party. Sera and Jace then spend the book trying to see if marriage will work or if they should get an annulment.
It wasn't a bad story but some of the details just didn't make sense. This is billed as a small town romance set in Sin Valley, Iowa with Sera nicknamed "The Sweetheart of Sin Valley". However, Sin Valley is more like. Las Vegas Jr complete with a strip, casinos, and all night wedding chapels. Sin Valley is also home to a professional football team as well as the billion dollar corporation Sera works for. Nothing about this seems small town.
Sera's ex, Rocky, also lives in Sin Valley yet plays for the football team based out of LA. I guess he could have a home in Sin Valley for the off season, but he seems to be living there while still playing for LA. How does that work?
There's other illogical details, such as Sera's dad choosing whiskey over his family but also being a physician and somehow getting away with leaving his wife and kids with no support. I know this doesn't create any major plot holes but so much of this background nonsense was distracting.

A swoony accidental marriage best friend’s sister story
This is the first book in the Playboys of Sin Valley series. Jace Bellino is a professional football player. Sera Rodriguez is Jace’s best friend’s sister and he has been helping her arrange her wedding to another football player. The day of the wedding Jace realizes he has to stop the wedding but just as he’s about to do so, the groom texts that he’s not coming. Following the jilted bride on the courthouse scene, the bride’s friends, including Jace, take her out to drink away the heartbreak, there follows copious amounts of alcohol, a brothers request to take care of Sera, and a drunken wedding. Jace and Sera both have trust issues and fears - broken families and being jilted will do that. On their path to their HEA, like any accidental marriage trope, Jace and Sera have to figure out how to navigate from the surprise wedding to the true marriage and partnership. The book does a phenomenal job of taking us on the journey of Jace and Sera as they struggle to transition from their fears and insecurities to learn to jump together without a parachute. While Jace and Sera follow the inevitable path to being together, it is painful but also beautiful to watch their growth and missteps. The story has plenty of steamy scenes, sweet moments, angst, stupid choices, simmering and overwhelming feelings, all wrapped up in swoony heart squeezing love. I’ll definitely keep reading this series.

Overall, I liked this story pretty well, but I did have some trouble with the relationship between Sera and Jason because I just didn't really get on board with Sera making the emotional switch so easily. They only had so long to file for an annulment of their marriage so obviously they were going to fall in love before that deadline. I realize Sera's ex-fiance was a real jerk so obviously it was easier for her to get over him because of those circumstances but there was a good amount of hesitation on her part to actually give this relationship with Jason a shot. Jason, on the other hand, has been in love with Sera for forever and is really grabbing onto the silver lining of the whole situation. He's never been the serious relationship type so this is new territory for him as well and it felt sometimes like he was glossing over Sera's feelings in favor of his own. I think their dynamic would have worked better for me if Sera wasn't engaged and maybe instead it was just a long term relationship. I did like in the later part of the book how they both would hype each other up when they were struggling with something and the relationship finally felt like it was moving past the physical attraction and I could actually see these two getting along emotionally as well.

After being stood up on her wedding day Sera needs a new place to stay and who happens to have space but her brother's best friend Jason. The same guy who is now her husband. Wait, what? Yep after Sera gets stood up at the court house she goes out with her friends and her and Jason get drunk and wake up married the next morning. Now the two have to figure out if they want to get an annulment or stay married and give this marriage a chance. This was a cute book that while predictable was still enjoyable. I liked how the author introduced the side characters but they didn't take over the book. I also like how Jason helped Sera work on her confidence at work and Sera helped Jason realize he was more than just a football player. Both Sera and Jason had personal things to work through and some curve balls that made them truly wonder if love was worth it. If you are looking for a low angst, brother's best friend, accidental marriage book then I would definitely suggest you giving this author a try.

This was a fun story with likeable characters and it seems like a great start to a new series I could enjoy. Jace and Sera are easy to like and to root for, because he’s sweet but determined to hide his feelings and she’s ready to strangle the guy who left her at the altar but confused by her lust for her friend. These are adorable dilemmas.
There was some will-they/won’t-they but mostly this was about Jace’s determination to make his oopsie-wife into his forever. When Sera’s groom fails to show at their wedding, her friends are there to help her pick up the pieces and forget about him. They have the best intentions but a few too many drinks and it all leads to Sera waking up naked next to her brother’s best friend. Things get more complicated when they realize they actually got married.
The supporting cast was fun so I’m looking forward to the rest of the series. Book 2 will be released in July and I’m interested to see if cranky Liam becomes any more likable in his own story than he was in this one.

Christ on a cracker. Jesus on a jellybean.
This quote describes this whole book. Seriously.
Cassie has come a long way with her writing. I have read just about everything she has wrote and let me tell you, she put her all into this one. Blood, sweat and tears. Ok, I hope it wasn't blood.
I fell in love with Jason Bellino. I knew I would and you know what? DIBS!! I call dibs on Jace. Screw Sera, this is my man now. LOL. Seriously though, I pictured the hunky dude on the cover thru every steamy scene. Those guns! That smile! That twinkle in his eyes. Oh, yes.
Cassie also writes the best side characters and when your done with her book you seriously want the rest of the crew to their own book.
Kudos Mrs. Miller on another outstanding read!

I really enjoyed Sera and Jason’s story. It was full of steam, fun and emotional. The chemistry between these two was off the charts smoldering hot. Needless to say Jason being the upstanding guy he is, he couldn’t let his best friend's sister end up with a jerk for a husband and took matters into his own hands. Sera is crushed and he feels bad and wants to help make everything better, but moving her in, getting drunk and waking up hungover with Sera in your bed, now what? Can Jason convince her that they are meant to be? Complete opposites, but they laugh, and have fun together and everything else just falls into place. Great way to start a new series and can’t wait for what’s next.

Playing House is the ultimate brothers best friend romance you could ever want! Its highly entertaining and incredibly enjoyable!
I just loved both Sera and Jace. When Jace goes to intervene at Sera’s wedding, needless to say they dont count on what happens after too much alcohol is consumed!! Dear me, did I laugh! These two have definitely got themselves into a conundrum. But its their ease of friendship that just works and their sizzling chemistry is so off the charts that you will definitely need a cold shower!
Everything about this book just made me smile. I binge read it until I finished and I am ridiculously excited for more of this series to come. Go 1 click this book or you are missing out!
Absolutely loved it!

Jace Jace and more Jace
I LOVE Jace. He was everything. He was so wonderful and patient with Sera even when she couldn’t make up her dam mind about being with him and not putting on her big girl panties about telling her brother about them. Yet she kept having sex with him giving off mixed signals. I didn’t care for her and she annoyed me. When Jace jumped to conclusions and made poor choices she left him when she knew that was more about his insecurities and childhood issues. She left him and did the one thing that he was most afraid of. Anyways it was a great story and I love the group of family and friends especially granny Bellino. She’s a hoot. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series. Until next time y’all happy reading.

Sera and Jace have known each other since forever as Jace is best friends with her brother Wyatt, both Sera and Jace have also been attracted to each other for a long time as well but due to Wyatt lines were never crossed .... until now. Now Jace and Sera are married and decisions need to be made which leads to laughter, self doubts, working out what you really want, having supportive friends and family (I lurve Granny) seeing what a supportive partner looks like and taking a leap of faith not just with love but also for Sera with her job. This was a great read and I can't wait for the next in the series!!

What a great book
I started out of sequence reading this series but it didn't hurt understanding who everyone is. Jace and Sera are long time friends. Her brother is one of Jace's best friends. Sera was supposed to marry someone else who left her at the altar. Jace steps in to help her. Oh my gosh the stuff they go through. Plus they both fear what her brother will do when he finds out, it's wild. I'm glad to have read Playing Pretend first because now I have more books to read about this group of friends. Yay! This is a great series, go for it you won't regret it. Enjoy :)

I really enjoyed this book. It was funny, sweet, cute, emotional, steamy and packed with feels. Jase and Sera were amazing characters with an impossible to ignore attraction and sizzling chemistry. As for the story, I thought it was a lot of fun but it wasn't all fluff. Their stark differences, the forbidden angle of their relationship and their emotional baggage added a richness to this tale that made it a joy to read. An excellent book and a promising start to this new series that I'm eager to enjoy more of. This is my volitional, candid review.

Good story!
So this book was about a relationship that had been going on for years,but the people involved didn't even have a clue. It starts with a hero who is trying to stop his best friend's wedding. She is getting married and he has to put a stop to it. He doesn't know why but he just can't let her go through with it. The day ends way different than he ever thought it would! He wakes up naked and married. Read the book its great! You know you want to find out what happens.

Without trust there is no LOVE
Playing house was a delightful read sharing the highs and lows of falling in love with your best friend’s little sister. Jace and Sera couldn’t be more opposite but this story reinforces the old adage of opposites attracting. The story takes a while to get going and find a nice groove so I found myself skipping through a lot just after the beginning, it really gets bogged down in his thoughts and indecisiveness but at the end it all comes together so please be patient.

Cute story.
I enjoyed this book. Sera is left at the alter, but doesn’t know that Jace wanted to break up the wedding. They got drunk and accidentally married. But will they stay married or get an annulment? Will her brother understand? He’s best friend’s with Jace. Loved their happy ever after and I enjoyed the epilogue too. I voluntarily read an advanced readers copy and I recommend this book.
