Synopsis

James Martin aka The Play Maker: international soccer sensation, owner of a drool-worthy body, and panty-dropping man whore.

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?

 

REVIEW

Nicole is a funny, sweet, caring, beautiful young woman. She’s loved by many and although she has her admirers, she will never get committed to anyone, just fun and easy encounters. Because the main person in her life is her brother, he depends on her and she will do anything and everything for him. But things might be about to change when sexy, but known playboy, football star, James Martin, walks up to her counter. Nicole can’t stop thinking that maybe she wants more than just one passionate night….maybe a lot more?

“It felt like I had been waiting for this moment for years, instead of only a few hours.”

This was a really fun, flirty, sexy, romance with some really cute aspects added that made it slightly different to the norm. I’ve always loved sports romances and this was no different!

“One night stands were one night. That was the rule. No repeats. No Exceptions.”

Nicole was honestly one of the loveliest female characters I have read. You could see why so many loved her and her dedication to support and help her brother was so beautiful to read. I actually also really liked her love em and leave em attitude, it was refreshing for a woman to be like that rather than a man; think it showed she confident on her own and didn’t need a man to make her happy.

“Why not indulge in a fantasy I had at my fingertips? Would another night with James really be so bad? After all, it was just s*x.”

James was our sexy, cocky, confident, British sports star. I really liked James, I liked that even though he had a reputation as a a bit of a player, really he wasn’t and his reputation was worse than the reality. When he sees that Nicole is trying to leave him behind, he ups his game and his charm and I loved that he chased after her, wanted to prove himself and fight for her. It was good to see him wanting to look after her, after Nicole has always looked after others before herself.

“The perfect one night stand shows up just as I’m ready to try the whole dating thing. Just my f**king luck.”

This was just a fun, easy read. With a really captivating and entertaining relationship between the two main characters and some good dynamics between others in the story. It was also fun to read about the guy chasing the girl. It had some lovely heart warming moments, some tear jerking moments, definitely some sexy, hot, scenes and some interesting plot surprises which kept the story flowing nicely!
