Product Description:
#1 New York Times bestselling author Sandra Brown is back with a gripping story of obsession and its deadly consequences.
After five long years in federal prison, Griff Burkett is a free man. But the disgraced Cowboys quarterback can never return to life as he knew it before he was caught cheating. In a place where football is practically a religion, Griff committed a cardinal sin, and no one is forgiving.
Foster Speakman, owner and CEO of SunSouth Airlines, and his wife, Laura, are a golden couple. Successful and wealthy, they lived a charmed life before fate cruelly intervened and denied them the one thing they wanted most -- a child. It's said that money can't buy everything. But it can buy a disgraced football player fresh out of prison and out of prospects.
The job Griff agrees to do for the Speakmans demands secrecy. But he soon finds himself once again in the spotlight of suspicion. An unsolved murder comes back to haunt him in the form of his nemesis, Stanley Rodarte, who has made Griff's destruction his life's mission. While safeguarding his new enterprise, Griff must also protect those around him, especially Laura Speakman, from Rodarte's ruthlessness. Griff stands to gain the highest payoff he could ever imagine, but cashing in on it will require him to forfeit his only chance for redemption...and love.
Griff is now playing a high-stakes game, and at the final whistle, one player will be dead.
Play Dirty is Sandra Brown's wildest ride yet, with hairpin turns of plot all along the way. The clock is ticking down on a fallen football star, who lost everything because of the way he played the game. Now his future -- his life -- hinges on one last play.

I think a lot of readers are going to be appalled by this novel. The hero, Griff, is flawed. I ended up liking him though he isn't a very ethical person. He cheated. And that's a no no in professional football. (i.e. Pete Rose!)
What he is asked to do in this novel is so far fetched and disgusting. I can't tell you but it's really immoral. However, in the process, he gets himself into this really scandelous affair. How I managed to like the heroine is beyond me but as the story unfolded, I was cheering for a happy conclusion and it's rather sweet. There's not simple happy ever after in life and SB choses a clever and interesting way to finish it that you smile at the end because Griff deserves something wonderful.

I enjoy Sandra's writing. I am a casual reader of novels only at night before falling asleep (usually 20 pages or less before zzzz!). Very seldom will I want to skip a TV program to read or stay up past my bedtime reading. This book has me doing both. It is light and reads quickly. I haven't finished it yet but I hate for it to end.

I've read most, if not all of Sandra Brown's books and this one was boring. It finally got interesting around the last 100 pages. I loaned it to a co-worker who felt the same way.

My wife and I have enjoyed her novels until now. Normally one can identify with Sandra Brown's protagonists, but here it is insulting to expect that the lead female, who is essentially running a multibillion-dollar airline, would be suddenly struck with the "wimpy stupids" when her husband is murdered. While I am sure there are ladies who would not know any better, this person's actions were so illogical that I simply could not stand reading any further.

I'm a big fan of books by Sandra Brown, so was very excited to pick this one up. I was very disappointed by it, and actually only finished reading it with hopes that it would get better. It would have helped if the characters were a little more likeable towards the beginning of the book, instead of leaving some of their few redeemable qualities to be revealed only at the end. The plot was very poorly put together and while there were some surprises thrown at you throughout the book, they almost seemed forced...
Having always had an interest in writing, it is disappointing to me see a "best-seller" author turn out a book that isn't up to their usual high standards.
