Six years ago, Haley King testified against one of Los Angeles biggest drug lords, Pedro Gutierrez and that is when her life change. She entered the Witness Protection Program. Now, fast forward to the present. Haley’s boss John has gone missing. Haley turns to the one person she knows she can trust and relay on…her husband, Greg.
Greg and his two grown sons, Marc and Jake run a bounty hunting business. Greg never imagined that he would see Haley again. Well not in the flesh anyways. There hasn’t been a day that has gone by that Greg hasn’t thought of Haley. Now that Haley has returned, Greg doesn’t plan to let her leave again. That is if Greg can keep both him and Haley alive. The same person who is involved with John’s disappearance is after Haley.
Play Dirty is the first book in The Bounty Hunters. A brand new series from author, Lorie O’Clare. I got to tell you that if the rest of the books in this series are as fabulous as Play Dirty, then readers are in for a yummy treat. Greg and Haley scorched the pages of this book together. They showed that when you are in love that the sparks never leave. Greg is exactly the type of man I picture when the words bounty hunter appears. There was a nice balance between action and romance in this book. If you are looking for something to occupy yourself for a few hours other then housework, then you have got to reward yourself with reading Play Dirty. You won’t regret it! I can’t wait to read Get Lucky, the next Bounty Hunter novel.

This book was tough going. Everything was over explained and said at least twice. The writing style bored me and I got annoyed at the simplicity of the characters.
I didn't like how two dimensional Haley and Greg were. And how annoying they both were.
I also don't understand how the author had to research for this story..

This is the first time I've read Lorie O'Clare and though I wasn't super thrilled with the book I will give her another chance. I've heard great things about her other stories, The Leopard and Lunewulf series.
As for PLAY DIRTY, while I was intrigued by the concept and was excited to read about bounty hunters, I was left feeling confused and at some times bored with what was going on. I had a hard time with the emotional connection or better yet the lack of, between Haley and her me. There were times when it felt like I was missing something as the story jumped to another scene. And I can't believe they didn't investigate Samantha Wilson. They didn't remember her from high school but took her at her word on who she was. The guys had access to all sorts of resources, check the bimbo out. The suspense didn't carry through for me either. I wasn't propelled to keep reading until I found out what was going on. There was no edge of the seat, need to find out immediately feeling.
I also had to keep reminding myself that Haley and Greg were older than they came off as. The next two books, I believe, will be about the sons who are 23 and 25. Their parents acted like they were the same age.

I got this book from a friend. I thought it was a good start to the series. Lots of action and an interesting information about bounty hunters.

I had a lot of trouble with this series. Dog the Bounty Hunter kept cropping up in my mind and I just couldn't get past that. In this book, I had trouble with the fact that the mother left the family years ago for reasons that she thought were important, but never contacted the family in any way to let them know she was okay. For years they thought she was dead, but when she comes back into their lives, she is accepted again without much resistance or reservation. That put me off on the whole series.

This book took me less then 24 hours to read, for all the wrong reasons. Unfortunately I should have listened to the old saying "never judge a book by its cover" because was I disappointed. Oh how this author murdered her cover. I thought heres a book with a badass man who's going to save the day. Well I was wrong. First off the age difference between cover and characters were way off. The dialogue in the story seemed too forced and fake and my god could you have a more boring plot! I'm sorry to say I skimmed so much in the book just to get to the few steamy parts and the climax and end. It's just such a drag, books have really been disappointing me lately, sorry to say. Not such a good read.
