The Player by K. Bromberg
5.0

⭐️ 5 STARS ⭐️
The Player completely took me by surprise. It was even better than what I was expecting. While the sexy cover prepared me for something sexy and steamy, I got so much more in this story. I got EASTON WYLDER! This man totally stole my heart with his thoughtfulness and sweetness. He’s so not was you would expect a big star baseball player to be. He’s down to earth with a heart of gold and he proves it time and time again in The Player.

Scout is the PT hired by the Aces to bring Easton back to the game after an injury. From their first meeting, there’s a tangible pull between them. I truly loved the relationship between them so much. Their chemistry is intense and the flirty banters are compelling. This magnetic attraction brings us to combustible and steamy scenes also full of feels.

But most of all, this book is also about fears and high expectations placed on both of them. Scout wants to realized her father’s last wish of becoming the official team PT for the Aces and Easton seems to make everything to please his father, an ex all-star player who’s very demanding. With the fears of her past on her shoulders, Scout is really insecure about her future making her reticent to engage with Easton on a personal level. But Easton being the sweet and irresistible man he is, tries to make her realize that what they have is meaningful.

I was really impress with this story. K. Bromberg really hit a home run with The Player. With this cliffhanger ending, I’m now just so anxious about The Catch.
