Catching the Player

Loved! This is an entertaining love story with two characters determined to not fall in love. Kassidy is a sweet girl that has protected her wounded heart by withdrawing from dating for years when losing a bet with her brother puts her in Wyatt's orbit. Wyatt is a well known quarterback totally devoted to football. While he enjoys the ladies, he will never give a girl more than one night. After Kassidy helps him with a problem, an unlikely friendship develops. I enjoyed the way the author told their story even though I didn't start out loving the characters. I thought Kassidy was a bit of a doormat and Wyatt was a bit much, but as all good novels do, the characters transformed and changed in a way that made me love them. Fans of the genre will love this book. While this is part of a series, this is a stand alone novel, however, its so good that you really owe it to yourself to read them all. The author is on my must read authors' list.

I haven't read the first two books in this series but that's ok because this book can completely be read as a standalone. The beginning of this book had me in hysterics. Kassidy loses a bet to her brother and has to deliver a singing telegram in a pretty revealing costume. Except she can't sing, at all. The entire exchange at Wyatt's house had me laughing so hard I couldn't even see the screen. The chemistry and connection between Kassidy and Wyatt was immediate but Wyatt is married to football and isn't looking for anything to get in the way of that. Kassidy has taken herself out of the dating game but is ready to start living life again. They promise to not expect more than the other can give but that's not always possible when life throws curveballs your way. I did really like Kass and Wyatt but there times that I just wanted them to get over themselves. Why can't Wyatt have a girlfriend and still be just as committed to football? Why can't Kass just say what she wants? I loved how their story came full circle at the end and the epilogue was insanely sweet. I will definitely be adding the first two books to my TBR!

This was a great read! Full of humor, sexy times, and a wonderful romance. From the opening scene to the HEA it was completely entertaining. It has some wonderful characters and great writing. Kassidy is a flower arranging accountant being held back by her past. Wyatt is a commitment phobe devoted to his career. Kassidy and Wyatt were great together. Two people not looking for anything serious but sometimes life has different plans. Definitely a book I recommend to everyone!
