Playing to Win

The Players, Book 3

By: Monica Murphy

Narrated by: Rock Engle, Meg Sylvan

Ready to fall for the ultimate player? Check out the latest sports romance by New York Times bestselling author Monica Murphy...

Ace Townsend is the biggest player on campus. The sexy new quarterback on the football team. I should probably mention he's also a complete flirt. The life of the party wherever he goes. Someone I should avoid at all costs.

It's difficult, though, when I'm on the social media crew for the football team, and we're out on the field during practice almost every day, filming them. On the sidelines at games. Hanging out with them at bars. The more I spend time with Ace, the more I'm drawn to him. The attraction is there, but it's more than that. I actually like him. We have a connection, and he definitely feels it too.

The problem? I signed a contract when I started on the social media team with a "no dating athletes" clause. They're strictly off-limits. If we get caught together? It's cause for my immediate termination. I love my new job and don't want to risk it, but I'm falling for Ace. Hard.

We're all for sneaking around and keeping our growing relationship secret, but it's starting to wear on us. Ace is determined to win me at all costs, though he doesn't want to be the reason I lose my job, but…

Maybe the two of us being together is worth the risk.

Swoon

There is always that character that is goofy and friendly. This is Ace! I also love how Ruby grows and sorts out her values. Life happens but what comes next! Great story… steamy if you are into that.

Such a good book

I loved this book and this series so much. It makes me sad that it’s ended now, but still so worth the read.❤️

Secrets and Fun

Ace and Ruby’s story was fun with their push and pull. They had a fun chemistry and I liked their forced proximity him the football QB and her on the social media team. Their whole contract of not being able to date players I understood, but still at the same time thought it was crap. But it made the secret relationship work well for the story.

Better read then listened

Overall good story…I wish I would have read it more than listened. The narrators were just ok..the female did a better male voice for her female best friend then the mmc. Both narrators made the story immature. I would rather make my own voice in my head. Every expression was an excited childish way that it took away from some parts of the story. I don’t wanna say negative things about these narrators but they just didn’t do it for this story.

Football Romance

This is an easy book to like. It is heavy on the banter and heat and light on the drama. The kind of couple you want to make it.
