Playmaker is a brothers best friend romance, Maddie and Cameron grew up with one another, we're pretty close and almost changed the course of their friendship in one night. But a few harsh words and a verbal pushing away by Cameron put Maddie out of his life for the last 6 years (well as much as he could considering his best friend is Maddie's brother).

But that was then, this is now and Spring Break is making the underlying sexual tension hard to ignore for both of the. So Cameron and Maddie strike up a deal they'll explore their connection for Spring Break, become friends again and then part ways. Sounds simple right? But what happens when old feelings that were buried come to the surface, and all you want is the one person you feel you can't have.

I really enjoyed Playmaker, it was a purchase based on cover, blurb and a quick skim read instore. I'm glad I got it, I look forward to the follow up Game Changer for Ethan and Mayas story. A good 4/5 star read, nice and easy packed with steam just what I needed.

β€œI can’t believe he’d cheat on her…I mean I cheat all the time but I would never cheat on her.” 

LOL no sorry that’s a miss for me. We could have just gone with β€œI’m not exclusive but at least the girls know up front.”

Playmaker 🏈 πŸ“– 
I absolutely loved reading this one! Normally my first week back to school with my students I’m too exhausted to read but I had to keep reading this one! 
I always love a duel POV with our MCs and this one worked so perfectly. 
If you’re a fan of the show, The Summer I Turned Pretty, sports romances, and the brothers best friend- friends to enemies to… you’d love this one!! πŸ’•
