About this ebook

Kaylee Bennett has never felt like she really fit in at The Rosewood Academy for Academic Excellence, but this year she feels even more like an outsider. Life has done a one-eighty for Kaylee and as she returns to the posh school for girls, she can’t bring herself to tell her secret to her friends and definitely not her long term crush, Phillip Carson. Not that Kaylee could ever imagine he would be attracted to a quiet bookworm like her anyway. But then there’s Declan Ryan, the gorgeous exchange student who seems to be interested, until Kaylee finds out his secret and why he might actually be into her, and it has nothing to do with her charm or love of English literature. 

To complicate matters, Kaylee gets stuck running the school’s production of Romeo and Juliet, directing both Declan and Phillip with the help of Rosewood’s sexy first year teacher, Mr. Stratton—as if the Westwood boys weren’t enough of a distraction! 
Determined to stay away from Declan and make things work with Phillip, Kaylee isolates herself from her friends and hides out in the house of cards she’s built to protect herself, but how long will it stay standing? 

Playing The Part is the third book in The Rosewoods, an exciting new Young Adult series for readers who love fun, flirty love stories.

Ratings and reviews

I didn't enjoy this book. Kaylee is way too obsessed with Phillip, who is clearly not a nice person, why did she automatically go back to him when she had doubts about Declan? - you'd think that Phillip and Declan are the only 2 guys at Westwood.

This book. I thought was going to be a rehash of the first two books actually is a vital player in the overall understanding of this series. It brings out things that make the series complete. A truly essential part of the entire package, a must read key ingredient.

With the ending of one book I am feverishly looking forward to starting the next one. I can't put them down and each one has been just as good and better then the one before it. I love how you get so many questions answered in each new story also. Things fall into place with each new book and new story. Seriously entertaining...
