Jimmy Another headline. What else was new? You’d think reporters could focus on the important things in the world. But they loved to write about me, Jimmy Hall, the best pitcher in the league . . . especially when I got caught screwing up. Thanks to the incriminating pictures from my last trip to Vegas, the team’s general manager assigned me a branding expert. I was ready to tell him I was fine on my own, but then my expert walked in, and I practically forgot my own name. Sommer Bennett had curves in all the right places and lips that could make a man stupid. Too bad she couldn’t stand me. Even worse, she was the owner’s granddaughter, making her off-limits. Or was she? Sommer When Granddad said he had a job for me, I couldn’t have been more excited. I pictured myself as the vice president of player relations or next in line to take over the Hawks. Instead, he wanted me to babysit the most arrogant player on the team: Jimmy Hall. It didn’t matter that the man was drop-dead gorgeous or had the most strikeouts in the league. He was a PR nightmare—and now my nightmare. I’d graduated top of my class and have a master’s in business, yet I still needed to prove myself. Jimmy Hall would not be the reason I didn’t get the title I deserved. I just couldn’t fall for his charm. Some things are easier said than done. 3.5 Heart Review by Ashley I love me a good sports romance and Carina Rose delivered all around with The Player. I liked the dynamic between Jimmy and Sommer from the start. Yes, there was this simmering attraction but there was so much more to them than that. And as they spent time together those hidden parts of them came to the light. With every new facet of each other's lives that they gleaned insight into, the more they fell. I liked seeing Jimmy have to work for it. Prove his intent and feelings were real. And Sommer had to let down her walls and let him in. Throw a little touch of the forbidden and a few heaps of jealousy into the mix and it was a recipe for going all in. While I would've liked a tad more of them out in the open, Sommer and Jimmy's 'office' romance was equal parts sexy and swoony. These two were so well matched and meant to be and when they got out of their own way it was oh so sweet to witness. About the Author Carina loves everything about romance. To her, it’s the little things that matter. She also believes in insta-love, since she knew her husband was the one the first day she met him.
When it comes to books, she uses them as an escape from reality . . . to get swept away. Carina hopes her words do the same for her readers. She’s a mother and wife and loves spending time with her family. She enjoys meeting new people, traveling, reading, watching sports, and, of course, relaxing on a beach. Carina looks forward to sharing more love stories in her future novels. CONNECT WITH THE AUTHOR Website | Facebook | Reader Group | Instagram | Goodreads | Amazon | BookBub | TikTok | Newsletter
