Stalker-Trope, but make it fucking adorable 🥹🫂 Isaiah Rhodes ist der wohl mit Abstand sensibelste, fürsorglichste und liebevollste Stalker, den man sich nur vorstellen kann. Kann man sich das überhaupt vorstellen? 😂 Er schafft es zwar nicht meinen liebsten Kai vom Thron zu schubsten, aber OMG ist dieses Buch toll!!! Nach dem doch leicht überraschenden Ende von Caught Up war ich echt soooooo gespannt, was es mit Isaiah‘s und Kennedy‘s Story auf sich hat. Es hat sich mehr als ausgezahlt weiterzulesen 😍 Die Art und Weise wie Liz Tomforde über found family schreibt ist ADDICTIVE. Ich will wirklich nichts mehr als zu dieser wundervollen Gruppe von liebenden Menschen zu gehören… ist das echt zu viel verlangt??? 😅👀 Oh, and fuck this sexist doctor. LET ME FIRE HIM IMMEDIATELY 🤮

I have no words for this book. Isaiah Rhodes has had my heart squeezing, pulling, tearing, breaking, melting, shattering in any way possible. This is a man I have no words for. Play Along has me giggling, kicking my feet, tearing up to throwing the book at wall for how good it was. I didn’t want to finish it just thinking about finishing it made me break. But it was worth it. The whole series is my oxygen sponsor. Just thinking about how Rio‘s book is the last one has me on chokehold, makes me want to hold it off as long as possible. Liz Tomford became one of my favourite authors in just two books. Can’t wait to read Rewind it Back and Monty‘s Book.

Isaiah and Kennedy are my BABIESSSSS.

wow

6⭐️ live, laugh, love isaiah rhodes. i just knew he wouldn’t disappoint! he was the most pathetically obsessed man so far and i am here for it. this man loved kennedy for three years before she even glanced at him. the way he would do everything not only for her but for all the people he loves warmed my heart but made me sad at the same time because of his reason to. he wants everyone to be happy because it’s the only way he knew how to comfort kai when their mother died :( he bottled up so much and never felt confident enough to let others see that until kenny came along. she made him feel comfortable enough to show his vulnerable side. he is just a sensitive boy who wanted someone to choose him for once. i love kennedy. she has such a deep character and was always so mistreated. she never had anyone to love or comfort her and that made her uncomfortable with physical touch and intimacy. she never believed she was deserving of love until isaiah showed up. she tried her best to push him away but actually realized that he is what she always dreamed about. their story as a whole was just so good. i was hooked from the first time they met at this restroom being complete strangers yet having such an important impact on each others lives. maybe kenny would’ve turned down the downgraded job she was offered after the head doctor found out she was a woman and isaiah’s day would stay one of the worst of his life. then three years later one drunken “mistake” brought them together. isaiah immediately jumped in when he heart that kenny would be fired if they broke up. for him this “fake” marriage was never fake and he held onto the hope that kenny would one day feel the same way. i loved their interactions and the way they noticed the little things about each other. they were each others comfort <3 he had his friend describe her hair color to her because he is colorblind and tried finding matching things to that even tho he couldn’t see it!! she color coordinated his outfits so he wouldn’t walk around looking with mismatched clothes. this arrangement was only in place so kenny could get another job across the country. isaiah always supported and encouraged her even tho it pained him to think about her leaving. basically from the beginning kenny wondered if isaiah was what she was looking for the whole time but she just wouldn’t admit it. for the first time in a book i actually didn’t mind the fmc “giving up” a big career opportunity to stay with the mmc. the way it was executed and showed that all kenny wanted was what she had in chicago made so much sense to me. isaiah being willing to leave his family behind for kenny when they were literally everything for him just proved again the length he would go for his wife. i loved how it turned out. the shitty as doctor being fired and kenny taking over his position. thanks to the changes reese brought to the organization. (love that woman already and can’t wait for her and monty’s story) what i also loved that there was no second act breakup, just a healthy and reasonable time they spent apart to sort things out. side note: the relationship between isaiah and kai made me cry more than once now. the love they have for each other is unmatched <3 also kai’s retirement speech got me sobbing. i just love this big family side note 2: isaiah’s pathetic love for kenny showing in the bedroom and him whimpering and begging for her? absolutely fantastic if you ask me!!! side note 3: i love love love the fact that they didn’t have children and didn’t plan to in the future. they were content with each other and wanted to focus on their careers and each other.
