About this listen
Carmela: Someone is trying to kill me.
For weeks, I’ve been receiving letters at my club with the same warning: they’re coming for me.
And they’re leaving a trail of bodies in their wake.
When my ex—a high-profile senator—says he’s flying in an experienced detective to handle the case, the last thing I expect is a cocky, condescending jerk who I can’t seem to take my eyes off of.
Anderson Brooks is the worst person for the job, and now we have to work together to attempt to lure the murderer out, by putting on a show at my exclusive club.
The line between lust and hate is thin, and we blur it like watercolors on a canvas.
Neither of us wants to work with each other.
Now, if we could stop ending up in bed together, that would be great.
Anders: I get called to New York when Carmela Lane starts getting threats from someone who’s murdering members of her club. I’m supposed to keep her safe, but the fact that we despise each other doesn’t make it easy.
Neither does the fact that we can’t seem to stop tearing each other’s clothes off.
With her life on the line, it’s a race to catch the killer.
That is if we don’t end up killing each other first.
Play With Me is the third book in the Angels of Désirer series, which is an interconnected stand-alone series. It can be listened to alone. This book deals with heavy themes. Please check the warnings.

Andres, after a one-night stand took me a while to warm up to him, but oh boy did he make my blood boil with desire. He is the perfect man, with a very well-crafted past and trauma. There were moments when I didn’t see him redeemable, however D.L. Is such a good writer with her building, explaining, and character developing. Andres is for sure one of my favorite book BF. Janine absolutely nailed Carmela, her accent was so on point, she grasped every single aspect of Carmela’s personality, played perfectly on her vulnerabilities and there was such a perfect difference between her younger self and her present. Robert made Andres shine through his story, his voice cadence worked perfectly on Andres emotions and personality. Everything was highlighted by his self-judgment, anxiety, caring, protective nature, and his passion. Both of them are fantastic storytellers and created an absolute masterpiece together, that will keep you hooked through the story.
For sure my favourite of the series

I have been loving the “Angels of Désirer” series, and D.L. Darby has outdone herself with her third addition to the series, “Play With Me” a thrilling dark romantic suspense, that hooks you right from the start, becomes your obsession, for the need to know what happens next. I found Carmela, the owner and head angel of Club Désirer, to be an intriguing character and was looking forward to her story, and wow, what a story it is. With flashbacks to the past, we learn what brought her to running an adult entertainment club, and about the man in her life who disappointed her younger self and continues to do the same in her present life. Someone is sending Carmela threatening notes, and they stepped up their game by sending those notes with dead bodies, in her club, that someone infiltrated the club undetected. To help with the investigation, they bring in a detective from California, for his discretion and expertise. Anders Brooks arrived the night before their meeting and wound up having a steamy encounter with a bombshell of a woman, the same woman he was to meet the next day, Carmela. Once Anders found out who Carmela was and what she did, he was just downright rude and judgmental, but Carmela had dealt with jerks like him before and gave as good as she got. He wound up staying to handle the investigation despite protests from both sides, and once he opened his eyes to see what Carmela and the club did for others, he changed his tune. The chemistry between those two was electric, loved the push and pull and the banter between them, and before I knew it, I was rooting for these two. There are many layers to this story, and it was amazing to watch it all unfold, from secrets revealed, to the twists and turns, to trying to figure out who was behind the threats and wondering what was going to happen next. There is so much more, including non-stop drama, angst, thrilling suspense, heartfelt emotions, and steamy romance. I loved the direction the author took her characters in the end, and it was great to see the characters from the earlier books make appearances too. D.L. Darby, thank you for this incredible story and wild ride.
🎧📚🎧 And for the incredible audiobook production performed by the perfectly cast voice artists, Janine Granda and Robert Hatchet. They did an amazing job bringing these characters to life, giving each a voice that was fitting for a perfect portrayal of each. Granda absolutely nailed it as Carmela, grasping every aspect of her personality, from her vulnerabilities in her younger years to the witty and fierce woman she became. Hatchett did the same for Anders and was just as amazing with showcasing all aspects of his personality, from his angsty, judgmental self to his caring and protective self. Both were fantastic at performing the roles of all the side and secondary characters, too. These entertaining storytellers are a pleasure to listen to, and their captivating performance keeps you hooked to the story.
