Most Valuable Playboy by Lauren Blakely
4.0
4.5 stars
Lauren Blakely has become my go-to author when I’m looking for a lighthearted escape. Her romantic comedies are pure joy and 100% addictive. Most Valuable Playboy takes several tropes—sports romance, friends-to-lovers, and best friend’s sister—and manages to combine them successfully.
Cooper is a dedicated NFL quarterback and reformed horndog. Violet is a super cool hair stylist and the sister of Cooper’s best friend. The three of them have been close friends since elementary school. Cooper and Violet go from a mutually beneficial fake boyfriend/girlfriend arrangement to having a legitimate romance, but in a way that feels genuine. I loved the progression of their relationship.
Lauren Blakely has a special knack for convincingly telling stories from an all-male POV, and Most Valuable Playboy is a great example of this. Cooper is such an easygoing guy, and I loved peaking inside his mind as he struggles with conflicting feelings about Violet and their incredible attraction.
Cooper’s camaraderie with his fun-loving teammates is also very enjoyable. Their crazy superstitions and the lengths to which they go to keep their winning streak alive make for some great comedic moments.
Most Valuable Playboy is a delightful story that is low on drama, high on effortless humor, and with between-the-sheets action that is a wonderful blend of sugar and spice. My Lauren Blakely addiction is satisfied for now, but I know I’ll need another fix.
