About this book

Working as a caretaker for the Royals’ newest rugby star is supposed to be a straightforward gig. Instead, it becomes a daily exercise in frustration for the narrator, who finds herself utterly despising Gray Adler. Between his obnoxious truck horn, his perpetually rude attitude, and his infuriatingly perfect physique, Gray is a walking red flag. Forced together by the demands of her job, the two are locked in a battle of wits that toes the line between absolute hatred and undeniable, scorching chemistry. This classic enemies-to-lovers slow burn thrives on close proximity and sharp, biting banter. As the hostility begins to shift into something more intimate, the tension reaches a breaking point. Suddenly, the man who was meant to be a professional headache becomes a dangerous temptation, offering smirks and touches that threaten to unravel her composure. However, Gray is harboring secrets that complicate their fragile connection. As the lines between their professional duties and personal desires blur, she is forced to confront a painful uncertainty. Is Gray finally being honest about his feelings, or is she just another game in his playbook? With high stakes and heavy hearts, they must decide if their connection is worth the risk of being played.

I didn’t think it was possible to hate someone. Like utterly despise another human. Then I was hired to babysit the Royals’ newest star and found out just how wrong I was. My job should’ve been easy. Keep the hotshot on time and out of trouble. But that’s hard to do when I dream of smothering him with his jersey. Every day delivers a new reason to detest Gray Adler. His truck is the size of a whale, and he uses the horn like a weapon. And, no, that’s not a euphemism. He can’t manage a sentence without being rude. And the universe, in its cruelest joke, gave that tattooed, walking red flag the body of a Greek god. Just when I finally get used to hating him, things take a turn. A scalding-hot, mind-blowing I can’t do this with a man I work with sort of turn. Suddenly, those rough hands make my skin sizzle. His sinful smirks fade into grins just for me. And our banter shifts into something much more profound than it should. But Gray Adler is hiding something. And when those secrets collide with my vulnerable heart, I ask myself an important question. Is he finally telling me the truth, or am I still getting played? ______________________________ Tropes: Pro Rugby Romance Grumpy / Grumpy Enemies-to-Lovers Slow Burn Close Proximity One Place to Sleep Small Town Boy Coming Home Romantic Comedy (with emotion!) ) Report an issue with this product or seller](https://www.amazon.com/Play-Me-Special-Adriana-Locke/dp/1960355392/ref=sr1904?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.2BOw0GE6kobcwKDhf2rOA9hdyOPPtRxldymzUdQ07yWO-vUr9AVOG9Csq4mVrqovu8X7AjeV-JctlW2m8SCjEyl90clXYQIIwEKpwo2Jq7V1ntsomVVXqzQA3VXLoamL8BxN33OTMyrQtzdl18jPf-JOEE3k2zNLY9icM-6LxI0lvJEVMDHPgEY087Lc0JRKvV4C7crBhW3JcfRRR0nP7NiHUky8s31B0DORFckLpw.kmBoDBmbaynPI-bv31tgNHyPR-7s09Cw1X39SqiT3s&dibtag=se&qid=1780246758&s=books&xpid=BtZXy3REumMg) Previous slide of product details 1.

Play Me Review 📚✨

Image 108: A 1x1 image, likely be a tacker probe Amazon Customer](javascript:void(0)) 5 out of 5 stars Play Me Review 📚✨ This author has officially become one of my TOP romance authors, because she simply never disappoints. She has an incredible talent for writing short but complete stories, full of emotion, with characters that remain engraved in your memory. In this story we meet Astrid, who works as an assistant to Renn and Blakely Brewer (from the series The Brewer Family). Her new task is to become Gray Adler's personal assistant, a rugby player who not only needs help in his career... but also someone who keeps him under control (kind of nanny disguised as an assistant 🙈). Astrid and Gray's relationship starts very badly, after an encounter at a gas station before knowing that they would have to work together. From there, the tension is 🔥. But what neither of them expected is that this "forced pairing" would become an opportunity to heal, learn to trust and let someone else into their lives. And here, Adriana gives us some of my favorite tropes: ✨ Enemies to Lovers ✨ Grumpy vs. Grumpy ✨ Boss/Assistant ✨ Found Family I have to say that this book falls within my TOP of Adriana Locke ❤️. And I hope Adriana is already working on Hartley's story, because I NEED it NOW. 📚 More)Hide) * !Image 110: Customer Image Thank you for your feedback Close Sorry, there was an error Close Sorry we couldn't load the review Try again Filtering customer reviews Loading customer reviews There was a problem filtering reviews.
