Review: The Player's Game by Alice Gaines

The Player's Game

Synopsis

Iā€™ve got to admit, life is sweet these days. As a starting NFL quarterback, I do okay, and I havenā€™t been lacking for female companionship. But Iā€™d give it all up in a heartbeat if I could get back the woman I loved and lostā€”my ex-wife, Katy.

Now Iā€™m at a wedding, watching one of my best friends tie the knot. Iā€™m happy for himā€”really. I just wish things had turned out better when Iā€™d taken that walk down the aisle. Still, those days are over.

Iā€™m on my way up to my room when I run into my ex in the elevator. Itā€™s like karma. Has to be. Only sheā€™s with some random guy, whoā€™s getting a little too handsy for my liking. I canā€™t help myselfā€”I have to say something. Something that ruins her nightā€¦and mine, too.

Now, Iā€™m sitting alone in my hotel room, when suddenly, Katyā€™s at my door, complaining that I ruined her 30th birthday. Her solutionā€”that I give her the night of sexual adventure Iā€™d derailed in the elevator.

I never was very good at saying no to her...

Review


It's a hot and steamy romance novel that's perfect for those looking to spend there free time well. The story is good but the best part is the characters, I loved both of them. It is well-paced and well-written. It has everything one might look in a romance novel.

Grant is a football player who will retire soon. He wants a family and stability in life. Most importantly he needs a life partner who can support him. His ex-wife was definitely not that kind of person. She was too focused on her carrier and had no time for him. He isn't sure where everything went wrong. One thing is clear, he is not over her.

Since her divorce, Katy hasn't dated anyone. Now she believes that it is finally time to get back into the game. Unfortunately, her luck isn't on her side and she runs into her ex. Grant ended up ruining a romantic night for her and now she wants him to make it up to her. Somehow things got out of hands and the two ended up sleeping together. Now, things have gotten more complicated than ever. Will the two reconcile or is the divorce between them too much to get over?

If you are looking for steamy romance novel then this book is for you.

P.S. I received a complimentary copy of this book via NetGalley.
