But for him, this isn't a game; he wants her in ways he doesn't understand, and needs to convince Sarah the same.Can Tom convince her he really is playing for keeps?

About the author

Toria Lyons is originally from mid Wales but now lives in south-west London. Until a few years ago, she was a civil servant but health problems forced her to give up desk-based work. That's where writing came in - she was always a keen rugby supporter and felt there was many a tale to tell based on a local rugby club.
When not at the rugby or dreaming up another plot, she's a keen road cyclist and can be found pedalling around the Surrey Hills. She'll often go for a ride and pop in to see a match on her way home, if she has enough layers to keep her warm!
Her other loves include red wine, curry and good dark chocolate.

Playing for Keeps is an awesome story on a guy who will do anything to have what he wants. He had her one time but lost her. Tom is hot beyond believe and Sarah is gorgeous. They have a past per say. Tom is a rugby player that comes back to play where Sarah is living since college. He turns her world upside down once again.
This book was very well written. It all happens across the pond in England. The book is also written in the author’s native tongue. I had some problems because of this but it is still worth the read. I am giving this book 4 hearts.

I honestly don't know how I feel right now. The rugby aspect was so lovely to read but their relationship was ridiculous, I know it's fiction but come on. I just feel a little bit confused as to whether I enjoyed it or not.
