Review Card & Book Review- Playing With Fire By Christy McKellen

One Night to Settle the Score

Ten years ago, April Darlington-Hume broke ex-tennis star Jamie De Montfort ‘s heart and vanished without a word. Since then, he’s had nothing but questions… and a memory of the passion they once shared.

When a scandalously heated encounter at a fundraiser throws them back together, he finally sees his chance to get the answers he’s waited a decade for. So he makes April an offer he knows an ambitious businesswoman like her can’t refuse.

He’ll sell her his father’s company—if she admits he’s the only man who’s ever truly satisfied her. It’s a simple plan: remind her exactly what she’s been missing, drive her wild with desire, and tempt the truth out of her at last.

But every heated touch and dangerous glance proves one thing—whatever burned between them ten years ago never really went out. And this time, the fire might consume them both.

About The Author

My Review

This book is about April and Jamie, former lovers who unexpectedly find themselves back in each other’s lives ten years after heartbreak, misunderstandings, and unresolved emotions tore them apart. Their chemistry is immediate and intense, with fiery arguments, playful tension, and an undeniable attraction that makes their reunion impossible to ignore.

What kept me invested was the emotional history beneath their passionate connection. As pieces of their past are slowly revealed, it becomes clear that both April and Jamie have carried pain and unanswered questions for years. Neither character is perfect, and their frustrating decisions and lack of communication make them feel surprisingly realistic.

The beautiful Greek island setting adds a glamorous, escapist atmosphere, perfectly complementing the emotional fireworks between them. While the romance is undeniably steamy, the story never feels focused solely on physical attraction. At its heart, this is about two people deciding whether love deserves another chance.

This is a fast, passionate, and satisfying second-chance romance filled with heat, emotional baggage, and a rewarding ending.
