Ah, nothing like an awesome Brazen title to put you in a good mood. Playing the Part has a great romance, wild and crazy sex scenes, and an interesting plot. I loved it! Covington does a great job at capturing your attention right from the start with great characters and fun writing. She definitely held my interest until the very last page, and I was pretty much smiling, laughing, and getting all kinds of "bothered" while reading this one. 
 As far as steamy scenes go, this one was pretty heavy on it, and I loved it. Everything was tastefully done, of course, I loved reveling in Mick and Piper's escapades. I liked that they each learned something from each other, grew as individuals, and they got a pretty sweet happy ending. Sure, the sex kind of took center stage, but that wasn't all they were about. I liked that Pipe slowly learns to let her guard down and trust that Mick truly cares for her and I liked that Mick himself, learns to truly love someone. One of my favorite parts was when Mick actually reads Piper's book and Piper watches Mick's movie, so they can get a better sense of each other and their respective careers. It was fun seeing them learn about each other and understand each other that way. Also, I think Mick was a great male character and I liked how Covington really pushed the idea of a mixed-racial character as it's great to see a little diversity in books. 
 Playing the Part falls into the column of "Better Brazens" in my opinion, which was surprising, because based on the synopsis, I didn't think I would like it as much as I did. There is definitely a lot more substance and intrigue than it gives credit for. I thoroughly enjoyed this one and I know that any Brazen fan will devour this one just like me.
