REVIEW - Playing With Fire (Sultry Southern Nights #1) by Deborah Fletcher Mello

The Book
Release Date: 24 February 2015
Goodreads Link

Romeo Marshall is over six feet of cool, smooth, hot, southern seductiveness--just like the music at his popular Raleigh club, The Playground Jazz and Blues Bar. With his beloved mother gone and no father he's ever known, the business is Romeo's everything. It's a place where anything can happen--and the evening one gorgeous young woman and one intriguing old musician walk into the bar--and into Romeo's life--it does. 

There's something about high-powered, down-to-the earth Taryn Williams that captures Romeo's attention like no other woman has. Yet unanswered questions from his past seem to hold him back from real commitment. For Romeo to move forward in love, he'll have to learn some devastating truths--and James "Piano Man" Burdett is there to teach him. And with Taryn's help, Romeo just may accept that like music, life sometimes needs to be improvised. . .

My Review  3 STARS
**Copy Provided by Netgalley and Kensington Books for an honest review**

I wanted to like this book more than i did, however i don't know if it is just being English, but i really struggled with the speech from the South.  It just sounded weird when reading it and i ended up speed reading the book.  I also have no idea where the title matches up with the book.

I liked the story line, however the big reveal was something that i had already guessed, and Romeo seemed like a very likeable character.

There were too many points of view trying to round out the story, it would have been better in my opinion if it had been just two points of view max.

It was an ok read, it just did nothing for me until the end where we got more action and even then the timeline suddenly sped up.
