Southern Playboy

North Carolina Highlands, Book 4

By: Jessica Peterson

Narrated by: Jason Clarke, Virginia Rose

Hiring the woman who wrecked me to nanny the kid I just found out I have is a dumb idea. Getting naked with her in the back of my truck is even dumber. But old habits die hard.

Amelia Fox was my high school sweetheart, the girl who broke my heart and nearly ended my football career nine years ago. It was all I could do to put one foot in front of the other, much less make a comeback. But I did come back. And I’m not about to let go of everything I fought for just because my world is imploding again.

When I find out I’m the father of a two-year-old boy, I’m ready to start my final season in the pros. It’s my last chance to nab the championship I promised my dad I’d win before he died.

Enter Amelia: teacher, toddler whisperer, and—oh yeah—my ex-girlfriend. We haven’t spoken in almost a decade, but I’m desperate, and she’s looking for a job. I need to focus, which means I need help with this kid. Which means I need her.

The arrangement works until one night of bad decisions and great sex threatens to ruin everything. Can we make it work this time around? Or is she just another bad habit I need to break before she breaks me?

SOUTHERN PLAYBOY is a full length, standalone novel.

Perfection! Southern Playboy captured my heart and soul. A wonderful, uplifting, read about moving forward, letting go of the past and being loved so completely it takes your breath away. It hit me straight in my feels and had me laughing, crying, mad, and swooning all at the same time. It is truly a wonderful story about two imperfect people who were perfect for each other. I LOVED everything about this epic, single parent, second chance, love story! It’s one that you won’t want to put down until the end and then you’ll want more. This book is a top 2021 read for me and goes into my all time favorite list.

Virginia Rose & Jason Clarke do an amazing job portraying the characters, bringing them to life and humanizing them with their emotions, attitude and personality. They do more than giving their characters their voices, they fall into the roles and become the character.

Favorite in the series.

This little family’s story is so well told. Happy tears and many laughs. Narrated very well.
