Play the Game: An Electric Eclectic Book Kindle Edition

by Karen J. Mossman (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.1 out of 5 stars 7 ratings

Stella’s father’s actions place her in danger, leaving her no choice but to take drastic steps to protect herself.

Life grows increasingly strained as she struggles to endure a job she despises while keeping her family’s secrets hidden.

Seeking refuge at a nearby hotel, she meets Kelly, whose warmth brings light into her shadowed world, until her colleagues uncover the truth about him. Now, burdened by her own dark secret, Stella must decide whether their fragile bond can survive.

As the past tightens its grip, Stella faces an impossible choice: protect her father or fight for the man who has given her hope.

A tender yet tense tale of love, sacrifice, and the courage to reclaim one’s life.

A sweet story of hope, anxiety, and love.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great story in a quick read!

    Yes, this book took me by surprise. I couldn't imagine getting a whole story from a short read. I'm glad I was wrong because in my opinion a good book always elicits the reader’s emotions regardless of it's pages. But Karen Mossman, had all the elements of a well-written story about a young girl hopelessly seeking something, but you don't know what until you realize it's something we all want whether we admit it or not, and that's LOVE. Love from our parents, love in the form of acceptance from our friends and peers, and a love of our own. Unfortunately, there are times we lose hope within ourselves, and it usually takes someone to see what we become accustomed too— hopelessness. This is a beautiful story of a tragic loss and love. And BAM! The twist that I didn’t see coming, took my emotions over the edge. Hope is everything!

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Sweet Short Story

    I’ve enjoyed Karen Mossman’s writing in the past and when looking for a quick read was happy to pick up Play the Game: An Electric Eclectic Book. The blurb had aroused my curiosity; what was the main character, Stella, ashamed of? What odds were against her?
    The story begins with Stella darting into a hotel because she’d missed her bus. She feels out of place and awkward. My first thought was that she might be homeless or possibly a prostitute. I was wrong on both counts. When a young man joins her on the bench by the elevator and they start chatting it’s apparent she truly had just stepped inside out of the cold.
    When Stella easily engages with the attractive man, there is no indication of the shy and uncertain young woman she seems to be later in the book. Something about the stranger, Kelly Ambrose, puts her at ease. I was still surprised when Kelly invites her to dinner for the following evening at the obviously expensive hotel and she accepts.
    The relationship slowly develops, and I learned Stella Rae has some secret she does not share with Kelly. He is well off and she works at a call center. A kind-hearted woman, she provides sandwiches to the homeless in the evenings after work. Often thinking about her father leading me to wonder if he was homeless and she might be searching for him. Mossman did a good job of keeping me puzzling about her father. He was an important part of her life yet made no appearance.
    Soon Stella gets a big surprise involving Kelly. It’s a revelation that will make a great impact on her life. He struggles to lift her morale and see herself as he does, lovely and kind. She is enamored of his good looks and his gentleness with her.
    This is a sweet story, something I did not expect. It examines how life’s journey can be painful. We often don’t realize how our words and actions can hurt another person. Too often people fail to look beneath the surface to get to know others. While the denouement is predictable, it serves a dollop of satisfaction. I recommend this book as an easy, short read for anyone looking for a light romance with a message.

    Yet another riveting book from Karen J Mossman. I thought I would spend a short while and make a start on this book. I didn't stop !! Had me hooked from the first page, was only sorry it came to an end -I wanted the story to carry on. Well done yet again, Karen, look forward to your next offering.

    This novelette intrigued me. I was kept on my toes till the end. I was left wondering, maybe another sequel?
    I liked how the two came together, from different places however they were very much alike.
    Very enjoyable read.
    I would recommend this short read. Charlotte

    This kind of romantic fiction is not one that I am usually drawn to, but I read a very positive review of this book, and decided to read it, also partly because I have had other works by this author.
    I thought the story was well constructed with an air of mystery on several counts throughout. I thought the character of Stella was particularly well drawn. The ending I thought was apt.
    This book represents good value; give it a go.
