The Devil’s Playground by Eliza Freed
(The Faraway Series, #1)
Publication date: November 10th 2015
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance
Synopsis:
Former U.S.
Attorney, Meredith Walsh, took some time off to raise her children. But the
time took away everything she once trusted about herself. She’s lost within the
mundane confines of her children’s schedules of lacrosse, soccer, Cub Scouts,
and math facts. Desperate for a sliver of her former passion, and isolated in
the small town her corporate husband relocated her to, she counsels herself on
risking her family for the rush of a fling.
But Vincent
Pratt, the local chief of police, weakens Meredith’s abhorrence of affairs and
her dedication to her family. With him, she finds a new version of herself, one
capable of contributing in her new world, and thriving in her lonely home. In
spite of the fact, she’s not the kind of woman who has an affair.

Review
Ummm... what comes to mind?
HOTTER THAN HELL or the status quo that feels like sludge in Meredith's veins?
She's frustrated with her life, having quit her career and possibly her identity.
What does a woman who once slammed justice left and right do when her soul screams for more?
Okay sure, it's not reality and so let's give our heroine some slack.
The typical romance cries foul when a cheating spouse enters, so let's just avoid
recriminations by calling this women's fiction, and by-pass any name calling shall we?
What we have when we bypass the stagnant marriage between Brad and Meredith is a vacuum in need of filling.
ºO•❤•.¸✿¸.•❤•.❀•.Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)Former US DISTRICT ATTORNEY is about to cross some serious lines. A definite case of NEVER SAY NEVER ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ.•❀.•❤•.¸✿¸.•❤•
Devil's Playground is a quick-paced read, filled with tension, angst, tearing down defenses until a raw chemical attraction between Meredith and Vincent either combusts into flames or they hook-it-up. uMMm, be prepared 'cause this story is a red-hot(!!) STORMING MESS.
This story ends on a cliffy, but don't lose heart. We'll regroup and hit it in Book 2: Lion's Den. Someone is in serious trouble!!

Eliza Freed
graduated from Rutgers University and returned to her hometown in rural South
Jersey. Her mother encouraged her to take some time and find herself. After
three months of searching, she began to bounce checks and her neighbors began
to talk; her mother told her to find a job.
She settled
into Corporate America, learning systems and practices and the bureaucracy that
slows them. Eliza quickly discovered her creativity and gift for story telling
as a corporate trainer and spent years perfecting her presentation skills and
studying diversity. It’s during this time she became an avid observer of the
characters we meet and the heartaches we endure. Her years of study have taught
her laughter is the key to survival, even when it’s completely inappropriate.
She
currently lives in New Jersey with her family and a misbehaving beagle named
Odin. An avid swimmer, if Eliza is not with her family and friends, she’d
rather be underwater. While she enjoys many genres, she has always been a
sucker for a love story…the more screwed up the better.
