Book Description
Unfortunately, she needs one to defend her pickleball championship title against her cheating ex-boyfriend.
Her solution comes in the form of Jory Plath, her brother’s best friend, a single dad, and a professional rugby player. He’ll help her defend her title if she helps tutor his son. It’s a simple arrangement. Everybody wins.
Until they don’t.
Somewhere between practices, late nights, and giving the town something to gossip about, Markie and Jory go from pickleball partners to fake dating. And the more time she spends with him, the more she realizes he’s exactly the kind of man she swore off.
Now she’s not sure what’s worse—losing her title, losing the man, or losing her heart.

My Thoughts
Beg Me by Adriana Locke, narrated in dual narration by Allyson Voller and Lance Greenfield, is a playful, heartwarming, and steamy small-town romance that serves as a fantastic, triumphant finish to the Play Me series.
The story follows Markie St. James, who has officially sworn off men after a string of disappointments, only to find herself in desperate need of a partner to help defend her pickleball championship title against her cheating ex-boyfriend. Enter Jory Plath: a professional rugby player, single dad, and her brother's best friend. They strike up a simple arrangement where Jory helps her on the pickleball court if she helps tutor his cheeky, brilliant eleven-year-old son, Gus.
What starts as a convenient partnership quickly evolves into fake dating, late-night practices, and intense chemistry as Jory sets out to patiently break through Markie's carefully guarded walls. Featuring top-tier romance tropes including single dad, fake dating, small-town setting, and brother's best friend, the book delivers an incredible blend of high-spirited banter, emotional depth, and heavy-hitting steam.
The dynamic between Jory, Markie, and the scene-stealing Gus adds layers of warmth and humor, while Sugar Creek provides the ultimate cozy small-town backdrop complete with a fiercely loyal squad of friends who make matching shirts for the tournament.
As real-life logistics, distance, and a gut-wrenching family crisis test their fragile bond, Markie and Jory have to navigate what it means to truly trust one another and build a future. Allyson Voller and Lance Greenfield bring the characters to life brilliantly in the audiobook adaptation, infusing vulnerability, humor, and deep emotional resonance into every chapter.
Packed with wit, unforgettable secondary characters, and a deeply satisfying epilogue that ties together the entire series, Beg Me is a funny, swoony, and thoroughly entertaining read from start to finish.
