Review: Playing the Field (Los Angeles Devils #1) by Stacy Travis


Playing the Field, the first installment of the Los Angeles Devils series by Stacy Travis is LIVE NOW!

A delicious Forced proximity, Brother’s Best Friend, Sports romance by bestselling author, Stacy Travis.

I didn’t expect my first week with the Devils soccer team to involve saving a career.

But when the team’s hot-headed center back—aka my brother’s best friend, Hunter Reyes—blows up in front of management, it’s my job as the head Data Analyst to keep him on the field.

That’s as close as I plan on getting to the gorgeous, bad-boy soccer god until he shows up at the house I’m temporarily sharing with my brother, needing a place to stay.

Hunter is the epitome of the grumpy, ridiculously muscular, and infuriatingly confident man fans love. I’m the girl who color-codes data sets and stress-bakes muffins. We are opposites in every way. We shouldn’t share the same Wi-Fi, let alone an address.

But late nights with spreadsheets turn into late nights sharing takeout.

Eye rolls turn into inside jokes. And every time his hand brushes mine, I swear the air between us crackles like lightning before a storm.

But he’s my brother’s best friend. A player on the team I work for. And completely, absolutely not my type. Too bad my heart can’t compute our differences.

Best friend’s sister. Forced proximity. Workplace sparks. And a slow-burn attraction that refuses to stay buried.

MY REVIEW


Gracie learned her lesson about not letting a man derail her career. So now that she's a data analyst for the LA Devils, there will be no more problems, no more men. Especially not her brother's best friend, Hunter, whose own career is the one that needs to be saved. But when Hunter needs a place to crash while his house is rebuilt, and he ends up living with her brother and her, Gracie starts to see a whole different side of him, a side she's falling in love with.


Hunter always wanted his friend's older sister to notice him as more than just her brother's friend, but she barely gave him the time of day. He didn't realize she more than noticed him, but just thought he was the one who didn't see her as more. Now that he's living with Gracie and her brother, he's going to shoot his shot, and make sure Gracie knows they belong together.


Hunter may have been a bad boy on the pitch, but inside he's a total cinnamon roll who likes books and his friend's smart af older sister. How could I (and Gracie) have not fallen head over heels for him? Their chemistry is so freakin hot, and they ended up being so perfect for each other, being each other's steadfast rocks. I love this introduction to the Los Angeles Devils, and I'm so excited to see which player falls next.

Review: Waiting for You by Kate McBrien

Review of Waiting for You by Kate McBrien Justin and Lucy are apart, but for how long? Lucy's staying with her parents, but knows she needs to get out and start living her life again. But when she gets a chance to go to London, it just may be her chance to reunite with the man whose soul has been entwined with hers for centuries upon centuries. But first, our two fated lovers will have to not only reunite, but stay together, beat the odds and the people and/or forces who are trying to keep them apart. Waiting for You is a great followup to Discovering You. Justin and Lucy's story is exciting and passionate, and the mystical/fantasy/paranormal aspect just adds another interesting layer to their already wonderful connection. I normally don't read a lot of paranormal/fantasy/sci-fi romance anymore, but I loved it here in Waiting for You. It's subtle, but ever present and as I said, just makes their story all the more intriguing. I can't wait for the conclusio...
