He’s a player.
He plays the bass with expert fingers. He plays women with intoxicating charm. And he’ll play me with the ease of a virtuoso.
Who better to teach me to play than the master himself?
I’m his model student, front row, pencil sharp. Pick up lines? I’ve got them. Free drinks? By the dozen. Kissing? Let me grab my chapstick.
But the most valuable lesson I’ve learned is that there’s so much I don’t know. Like why his touch sets off a chain reaction straight to my nethers. Or how I’m certain each kiss is the best I’ll ever have, until the moment his lips take mine again.
There’s so much I don’t know.
Like the fact that I’m only a bet.
But we are what we are. He’s a player, through and through.
And I’m the fool who fell in love with him.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Player is my new favorite from Staci Hart! I haven’t fallen in love with her words like this since I discovered her writing when she published With a Twist! Being a romantic comedy lover, a lot of her other books in between just missed the mark for me.
But Player is romantic comedy brilliance, in fact I have declared Chapter 17, Clitosaurus Sex, as the best chapter I’ve read all year! I couldn’t stop giggling. Out. Loud. It was that funny. I couldn’t put Player down and I never wanted it to end.
The epilogue revealed a little nugget of information AND we get sneak peak into the next book in the series and I am DYING to get my hands on it and you will too. Back to Player, this is Val’s story who we met in Piece of Work. She is the unofficial leader of the Red Lipstick Coalition. She is loud and outspoken on the outside, but a nervous self conscious mess on the inside that I think we can all relate to.
What I really enjoyed about Player, outside of the humor is that it tied in great friendships and strong family bonds. Theses elements really amped up the story and added great depth and dimension to the story. I also got some major 90s romcom vibes from the story, from the bet with the douchey friend and and the transformation of the girl, the beginning for Player had me thinking about She’s All That.
Did I mention at all that you are about to meet a very special specimen of book boyfriend when you open up Player… I can’t even think of the words to describe how perfect Sam is for Val and really any woman but his the Val’s other half and I loved watching them come together. Meet all of the friends starting with Piece of Work.
