Synopsis (Goodreads):
James Martin aka The Play Maker: international soccer sensation, owner of a drool-worthy body, and panty-dropping man whore.Thoughts on Play Maker: This book was fun. A lady who goes after what she wants and lays down some hard limits for herself gets tangled up with a guy everyone knows as the king of one-nighters. They meet. They get physical. She walks away. It takes time for Nicole to wrap her head around the idea that it's okay to want more than a mindless fling and James has to come to terms with the fact that he's not quite as irresistible as he thinks he is. (Which makes him sound kinda douchey, but he's not. He's actually pretty okay about it.)
He's the perfect one night stand.
And by one night stand I mean two night stand.
And by two night stand I mean three night stand.
Nicole Grant is living every girl's fantasy: a rendezvous with the sexiest Brit on either side of the pond. It's just one night, and that's fine with her. With her busy work schedule and a brother she's devoted to, flings are all Nicole has time for. No complicated feelings and no strings attached. Just hot sex.
James Martin is used to scoring -- on and off the field. His prowess in the game is rivaled only by his reputation in the tabloids. But after Nicole gives him the best hookup of his life, he experiences something new: a woman who isn't throwing herself at his feet, who knows all he has to offer and is still keeping her distance. Apparently there's a first time for everything.
James can't get Nicole out of his head. She's funny and she's irresistible. Nicole can't James off her mind. He's good hearted and he's sexy. Will their standoff end in a draw, or can this one night stand kick off something real?
I completely adore stories that allow the heroine to own her sexuality. Nicole knows what she wants (or at least she thinks she does) and she goes after it. Period. She and James have chemistry, so she explores that. She follows the rules she holds herself to (one night, that's it) and goes on her way. Sure, things get complicated and she has to readjust her mindset, but that's part of the fun, right?
Meanwhile, James isn't the playboy everyone thinks he is. I wasn't as enamored of what he allowed to happen, though. He could have lost out on an opportunity he was invested in because he kept allowing...things. THINGS. Not cool.
But everything got straightened out in the end and James and Nicole both got in the right headspace for a real relationship. And that's what it's all about, right?
