Release date: 13th July 2020

My rating: ⭐⭐⭐

I’ve got to admit, life is sweet these days. As a starting NFL quarterback, I do okay, and I haven’t been lacking for female companionship. But I’d give it all up in a heartbeat if I could get back the woman I loved and lost—my ex-wife, Katy.

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

I’m on my way up to my room when I run into my ex in the elevator. It’s like karma. Has to be. Only she’s with some random guy, who’s getting a little too handsy for my liking. I can’t help myself—I have to say something. Something that ruins her night…and mine, too.

Now, I’m sitting alone in my hotel room, when suddenly, Katy’s at my door, complaining that I ruined her 30th birthday. Her solution—that I give her the night of sexual adventure I’d derailed in the elevator.

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

ALL MY REVIEWS CAN BE FOUND ON MY BLOG: ABSTRACT BOOKS

The player's Game was a standalone Second-chance Romance written by Alice Gaines. It's told in dual perspectives.

The blurb of the book sounded interesting to me , but I wasn't able to connect to the characters somehow. The book started off good but after a while I just found the storyline a bit irritating and lost interest. I don't know what you guys opinion will be , but for me this wasn't a good enough book to read.

Here we get to meet Katy and Grant. Both of them were married a few years and we're high school sweethearts. However things went downhill and they had to get divorced. After a few years they have a sudden meeting in the elevator ,when both of them are with their respective dates. Grant gets jealous and ends up saying things to her , which makes her date go away. First of all, in the starting Grant was getting turned on by his date and then all of a sudden He gets jealous of Katy's date!! I mean Wtf? It wasn't like he was dying away pining for her. After this disaster, Katy rushes to his room and Reminds him that today is her birthday , and now that he destroyed her plans for the eve , he has to give her a memorable night. Brilliant idea! The storyline was definitely weird.

Then Katy's boss get a whiff of the news that she spent the last night with The world famous NFL player , which also happens to be her ex-husband, he asks her to continue the relationship . I didn't even understand why he wanted that! What does he have to do about whom she dates?? And then they both pretend to date , in case her boss asks .

On a total basis this book irritated the shit of me and I left reading it at about 30%. However it's your own choice!
