Player By Joanna Blake



JOCK, SPORT, MEATHEAD, PLAYER. I hate them all. Especially this one. He's rude, he's crude and he thinks he is God's gift to women. 

James Fitzpatrick might have started out on the wrong side of the tracks, but his skills on the football field have brought him fame and glory. Now he's forgotten where he came from. 

Hell, he's even forgotten me, the snot nosed brat from next door. So much so that he hits on me when he comes in to eat at the barbecue place I work at to pay my way through school. But the jokes on him when I turn him down in front of all his meathead buddies. No one has ever turned down James. There's a reason he's got a rep as being talented on and off the forty yard line. And now he's determined to make me pay with a pound of flesh. 

Thing is, I've got some moves he hasn't seen yet. It's going to be a long, hot season. 



Player has the potential to be an amazing book, but for me, it was a let down. The story was there, but it was badly written. I didn't feel any of that emotion from it, or that chemistry. Everything seemed to be happening far too quickly. 


I also didn't find Jame's behavior towards a girl he's supposedly loves all that bright either. It just put the icing on the cake. 
He's was a complete jackass and forceful. He doesn't really give her a choice when he sleeps with her. I know in the end she wants it, but for me, it felt like she didn't have a choice. He didn't stop, he just kept distracting her, then all of a sudden the deed was already done. 

I won't be reading it again, and others may enjoy it, so I will be putting it out on my recommendations list.
