I should have known it was only a game.
I should have known he was too good to be true.
He’s nothing but a player...
Player, an all-new sexy, standalone romantic comedy from Staci Hart, is LIVE!
He’s a player.
He plays the bass with expert fingers. He plays women with intoxicating charm. And he’ll play me with the ease of a virtuoso.
Who better to teach me to play than the master himself?
I’m his model student, front row, pencil sharp. Pick up lines? I’ve got them. Free drinks? By the dozen. Kissing? Let me grab my chapstick.
But the most valuable lesson I’ve learned is that there’s so much I don’t know. Like why his touch sets off a chain reaction straight to my nethers. Or how I’m certain each kiss is the best I’ll ever have, until the moment his lips take mine again.
There’s so much I don’t know.
Like the fact that I’m only a bet.
But we are what we are. He’s a player, through and through.
And I’m the fool who fell in love with him.

You know that giddy feeling you get while reading a book? The butterflies in your stomach, perma-grin on your face? That is the exact feeling I got while reading Staci Hart’s Player. I’ve read (and loved) a lot of her books, but this book has to be her best yet. I loved everything about it. Just thinking about it and writing this review is leaving me with a huge smile on my face.
Val is part of the RLC (red lipstick coalition) and is a strong and independent woman, but when it comes to men, she’s not so confident. She has some body issues from hitting puberty young and she’s never really felt comfortable in her own skin. She is an uber talented musician who plays in the orchestra of a broadway show. Along with Sam. Sam is Val’s crush. He plays the base. And that’s not all he plays. He’s all around a player. But she has it bad for him anyway.
Val never thought Sam would notice her, but he does. Sam genuinely likes Val and is attracted to her, but he doesn’t do relationships. Still, he offers to teach her a thing or two about dating.
Val just was. She was the most refreshing woman I’d met in years.
Every scene with Val and Sam… sigh. I loved the music, the dancing, Val’s hilarious pick up lines, and Sam was just everything. This book was everything! It was so much more than a romance. Sure, the love story between these two was fantastic, but Val coming into her own, learning to love and accept herself… It was the best part of the book. And she couldn’t have done it without Sam. Even Sam himself realized he was so much more than he thought he was. Sam isn’t just a player. Sam is capable of more than just some fun in the sack. I loved that they both were able to bring out the best parts of each other.
The romance between Val and Sam was sweet and tender, yet funny and heartwarming. I loved them together. As friends, as more, they just had this amazing chemistry. Chemistry with their music, their dancing, and especially between the sheets.
“Fuck, you’re beautiful,” he groaned as he fucked my mouth. “You’re perfect. You don’t need me, Val. You’re fucking perfect.”
Player was fun, flirty, touching, steamy, and had so much heart. My heart is so full after reading. It had just enough angst to keep me completely enthralled through out and just enough emotion to give me the feels I need to make it a 5 star favorite. It’s a breath of fresh air and a beautiful romance I highly recommend! This will definitely be going on my top favorites of the year!
