The only problem? Her co-lead is Jesse F-ing Andrews, a.k.a. her arch-nemesis. Jesse has made it abundantly clear over the years that he wants nothing to do with her\u2013and Viola has no idea why. When their bosses insist a wintery retreat is the perfect team-building exercise, Viola can\u2019t think of anything worse. Being freezing cold in a remote mountain lodge knowing Jesse is right next door? No, thank you. But as the snow piles on, Viola discovers there\u2019s more to Jesse than she knew, and heat builds in more ways than one.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">This was my first audiobook, so I probably am not the best to be reviewing this. While I found the smut to be a bit weird and odd at times, regardless it was a really cute read. Now to my thoughts, this was ok. Nothing special especially since it\u2019s a novella, but if you loved any of Hazelwood\u2019s books then you\u2019ll love this plus it\u2019s only 4hrs. I will say I\u2019m not the biggest fan of audiobooks by themselves because it\u2019s hard for me to focus (which is on me) so I didn\u2019t get \u201chooked\u201d until half way through. The smut was okayish. Some scenes were steamy but again it kind of felt YA. The constant \u201cis this okay?\u201d were a bit eye rolling. Not to mention when I woman narrate the man\u2019s voice while they are getting it on\u2026. yeah, didn\u2019t do it for me. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\">I rated this novella three stars. It was a good palette cleanser if you\u2019re looking for vibes and a cute, angsty romance between two gaming programmers.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ubb-final-rating\"><\/div>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/booknookbuzz.com\/two-can-play-by-ali-hazelwood\/\">Two Can Play by Ali Hazelwood<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/booknookbuzz.com\/\">Book Nook Buzz<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two Can Play by Ali Hazelwood on October 1, 2024 Genres: Fiction \/ General, Fiction \/ Romance \/ Contemporary, Fiction \/ Romance \/ New Adult, Fiction \/ Romance \/ Workplace Format: Audiobook Buy on Amazon Goodreads \u201cI haven\u2019t thought about anything but you since the first time I saw you.\u201d Viola Bowen has the chance [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":1100,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1099","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1099"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1099"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1099\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1100"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1099"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1099"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bookloves.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1099"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
