Dead Draw by Layla ReyneMy rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars
Dead Draw by Layla Reyne is book one
in the Perfect Play series and falls into the slow burn suspense category.
Special Emmitt Marshall made a mistake, Special Agent Levi Bishop’s operation, it
may have been unintentional, but it does have consequences. To try and make
things better, he proposes a plan to Levi, which will not only help him
financially but also emotionally to whilst they both try and bring down the bad
guy.
I really enjoyed
reading about Emmitt and Levi, they both have hearts of gold and wear them on
their sleeves. Both are vulnerable and that can be seen in their interactions
with each other as they have a will they/won’t they relationship. Levi is still
mourning the death of his beloved wife and is balancing being a working man,
with a teenage son and bills which are crippling him. He is open to what Emmitt
has to offer and he isn’t hard on the eyes either. Emmitt is also kind, funny
and likes pending time with Levi and his son but knows that he is always going
to play second best when it comes to relationships as he becomes too invested. There
is definitely a unique dynamic between the two as we get to know them better,
not only on a professional level but also an emotional, personal level too.
This book
is definitely a slow burn romance, but it does heat up between the two pretty
quickly and keeps a steady simmer throughout the whole book. There are some
wonderful family moments between Levi, Emmitt and Levi’s son which is really sweet,
and I loved the passion that Emmitt plays chess with Levi’s son.
There is
also the FBI storyline which has a lot of action and intrigue and keeps the
book flowing at a fast pace. If you like your guys sweet with a side of cowboy
and some serious flirting, then this is going to be the book for you. I look
forward to reading the rest of this series!
