Player
by Staci Hart
This is my favorite book in Staci Hart's Red Lipstick Coalition series! Maybe it's the Swing dancing. It just GETS TO ME.
Sam is a player with women and he knows that shy Val in the orchestra has a crush on him. SIDE NOTE: I cannot tell you how much I LOVE that our female lead plays trumpet. It's perfect.
Sam is smooth and so dreamy. Soon he has taken Val and her friends into the world of Swing dancing and...*swoon*...the way that Staci Hart describes Sam's stand-up bass playing and the dancing is just hot.
First, I loved the representation. Sam is first generation American whose parents are Lebanese immigrants. Val's grandparents are from Spain. Both of these characters' heritage played an important part of thus story and I loved that.
I really loved that Val is socially awkward and self conscious about her curvy body, but the time spent swing dancing (and with Sam) slowly diminishes those fears. And the sheer JOY that swing dancing exudes takes over.
Beside a beautiful love story and i sanely steamy scenes, PLAYER also has fantastic female friendships and meaningful family ties.
There were many laugh-out-loud moments and just as many contented sighs. This is a sweet, swoony, love story with a perfectly perfect HEA.
RATING:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
