Sweet Sixteen and never been kissed - but Liza knows who she wants her first to be. Tony Mitchell - the boy she's been best friends with since forever. But when he comes back from soccer camp there's something different about him... and not just his sudden liking for Red Bull. Determined to get his attention, Liza tries out for the soccer team and finds herself way out of her depth. Lucky for her, the gorgeous team captain, Ryan Hunter, is willing to take Liza under his wing. Are his intentions honourable or does he want something more than just to teach Liza about the game he loves? 
 Play With Me is short and sweet. It's a novella and just under 200 pages, this story was a fun one to read although fairly predictable. The characters are a little simplistic but enjoyable to follow. Liza is the slightly naive girl who has a long time crush on her BFF, Tony - who seems to have no idea about Liza's true feelings. Ryan is a bit of a spoilt rich kid who has money, good looks and girls following him around at all times - except for the one he wants. These people may be slightly stereotypical but I liked reading about them. They're cute and I couldn't wait to find out what would happen next. 
 I have to admit wasn't the hugest fan of Liza - she's clueless and slightly irritating in her complete obliviousness to Ryan's advances however that has just made me even more eager to read the companion novel, Ryan Hunter, which is the story of Play With Me from Ryan's perspective. I didn't quite believe Liza's complete turn around from painfully naive to make out queen but that's just a minor quibble. 
 This story was fun and sweet. I enjoyed reading it and recommend it for fans of Miranda Kenneally's Hundread Oak's series.
