If you’re planning on falling in love…
When it comes to the confident, charismatic Caleb Parker, Sadie Lane feels the spark—the kind that comes from rubbing each other the wrong way. She’s a tattoo artist, he’s a straight-laced mogul. But after they accidentally co-rescue an abandoned dog from a storm, Sadie sees a vulnerable side to the seemingly invincible hottie.
you’d better be sure…
Caleb doesn’t do emotions. Growing up the underdog, he’s learned the hard way to build up an impenetrable wall. Perfect for business. Disastrous for relationships. He’s never worried about it before—not until he finally gets behind Sadie’s armor and begins to fall.
… someone is there to catch you.
Both guarded and vulnerable, Sadie and Caleb are complete opposites. Or are they? Shocked at their undeniable connection, can they ever admit to wanting more? That all depends on what they’re each willing to risk.

Review:
Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Playing for keeps is the 7th novel in the Heartbreaker Bay series. I can't believe this is book 7. The series is
still fresh and I don't see it slowing down! I liked the book a lot, but Sadie tired me. She kept pushing and
pushing Caleb away and when she wasn't doing that she was running away from him. I don't feel like she
treated him fairly and he was swoon-worthy. I don't know if you will fall for Sadie, but I know that you
will fall for him at least. The story was good and my favorite character was Lollipop or as Caleb calls her
Poops a lot. I love it when we have animals in the stories and Jill Shalvis seems to have a thing for them
too and it works for me. The story flew nicely and easy and I had no trouble reading it. The pace was
good and the characters had some development. I wish Sadie's character had a little more growth, but I
could live with what we got. Caleb's sisters were great secondary characters and if they have a story I
would love to read it. I hated Sadie's mother and I really couldn't understand her. She was almost
emotionally abusive to her and I wish she had changed her behavior by the time the book ended. Caleb
and Lollipop will win you over, have no doubt. Caleb is one of the best heroes I had the chance to read
about so far and Lollipop is a very cute dog with a sad story. The MC's from the previous books also
appear and that made the overall experience even better.
