International Player by Louise Bay

3.0

I enjoyed some things in this story but it took me a while to connect with the characters and their relationship. The story is not that long but I got bored with some scenes and I definitely expected more of this book because I’ve always loved the author’s previous stories and characters.

Truly and Noah were friends before he went to NY and they had a crush on each other but they never acted on it. Now 4 years later they see each other again and Noah starts helping Truly so they spend more time together and while they still are attracted to each other, Truly knew Noah wasn’t into long time relationships so she proposed just casual sex between them. Her proposal felt kind of rushed to me in the beginning and despite them being friends it took me a while to see them as more than friends.

Noah was a good hero but I wanted to know more of him and his background story, we only knew about an accident he had and a few things about his job in NY. With Truly we also know a few things so that’s why probably it took me a while to connect with them and their story.

In general the book had some good scenes, Truly and her sister had a good relationship and they did some great things for people. Noah wasn’t very interested on being in a relationship but Truly changed that for him and at the end they both got a happy ending.
