The Player and the Pixie
by Penny Reid, L.H. Cosway
DID NOT FINISH: 10%
**Most of my reviews contain detailed Content Warning/Trigger Warning (CW/TW) sections, which may include spoilers. I have tried to mark them appropriately, but please use caution.**

Summary: Celebrity photographer takes up with professional Rugby player to tutor him in sex.
Stats: CR/Sports - Rugby, part of a series, presumably stands alone, open door.
Notes: It’s not the book, it’s me on this one - I didn’t get far into this - maybe 7%. It just wasn’t keeping my interest, the FMC was a little too “quirky” and all I could hear for the MMC was “LADS LADS LADS!” - which I fully acknowledge is not at all an accurate take on either character - it just got stuck for me. I also wasn’t enjoying the narration - the FMC’s sections were flat. I’m a bit annoyed with myself honestly, since I complain all the time that “Irish characters in romance are never done well. Most voice actors can’t perform decent Irish accents…” and then with this I’m immediately “Ooooh tall poppies, are ye? Well, then.” And they’ve taken the trouble to find Irish voice actors (I’m not actually 100% sure on KC Sheridan, but I think so) - but they/the characters are from *Dublin* [shudder] and then I had to be annoyed by that. Which is all ridiculous.
Incomplete, but still spoilery, Content NotesShoplifting, addiction/compulsive behaviours, some “crazy” talk, overbearing mother, joke about a sex change, alcohol, adoption (and treated badly because of it)
