I did not enjoy this book. I found the beginning of the book slow and dragging. In fact, I ended up skipping parts to get the gist of the story because it was slow. The premise of the book is the cliche "beautiful woman with a secret in her past." Unfortunately, the characters in this book did not pull me in or generate an emotional reaction. The aura of mystery seemed forced and contrived.

My favorite Barbara Taylor Bradford book is A Woman of Substance - which I loved. I will probably try her books as they come out hoping to get another one like that. "Playing the Game" did not live up to expectations.
