Sneak Peek: The Player (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

This is a multi-chapter promo excerpt of The Player, with an additional excerpt of the New Adult novel Love and Baseball On a night she’d rather forget, Harlow Jennings meets a man worth remembering. Harlow Jennings has always been complimented on her beauty. More than a few admirers make it a point to tell her she’s very pretty . . . for a dark skinned woman. Harlow’s managed to support herself and her daughter, even keeping her child out of the media storm surrounding her ex-husband, a rapper she grew up with in Trinidad and whose manic outbursts are almost as famous as he is. Though their divorce was amicable, Harlow’s ex isn’t quite ready to let her go, especially into the waiting arms of Kyle McClure. Kyle’s a star quarterback and a former undrafted free agent whose superhuman efforts on the field have made him the team’s franchise player. Over the years he’s pushed his body to the edge, but with a large extended family to support, Kyle’s life has never truly been on his own. He realizes Harlow is what his hectic life has been missing, and Harlow’s receptive, but she’s not willing to take second place to yet another famous male’s career, or Kyle’s domineering sister. Though she’s ready to move on, her ex is making it mighty hard. And Kyle’s not backing down either. So what’s a girl to do except . . . play on? Love and Baseball Lexie Faison never wanted to be a hero, or an outcast. But when her roommate is drugged at a fraternity party she springs into action, setting off a criminal investigation at her college that divides the student body and focuses national attention on the school. Determined to finish her physical therapy degree in spite of all the animosity, she moves off campus, where one of her roommates is a First Nations teen trying to escape his own past. Drew Chenoweth’s lacrosse skills and his baseball talent have earned him a scholarship to the same college and an introduction to a whole new world with a different set of rules. Falling for upper classman Lexie is risky for him, since many of his teammates are part of the fraternity under investigation. As he’s pressured to get Lexie to revise her testimony, Drew realizes he’s fallen for the headstrong social activist and he’s not about to let her face this battle alone.
