Lauren Blakely and K.D. Casey's new series, Dirty Players, starts with "Dirty Slide."
["Don’t play dirty.
That’s the code I live by on and off the field.The other?
Don’t get distracted.
Not by the media, not by hookups, and definitely not by our rival team’s ridiculously charming star player, who loves to whisper dirty nothings to me every time we play ball.
And sure, his offers are tempting, but he’s the love ‘em and leave ‘em type, and I want the real thing.
So I resist.
But the night he steals second on me in the biggest game of the year, the guy’s a whole lot harder to ignore. Especially after a filthy postgame kiss leaves me wanting all the things I can’t have.
What's the risk in playing dirty just one time?"]
This novella was short and sweet. It took me less than two hours to get through, and it was very low angst (the only angst was the I-want-more-than-just-a-one-night-stand-but-how-do-I-tell-him-that, which they were both feeling--spoiler alert).
They were like two puzzle pieces. It was easy for them. Well, the romance and steam and feelings was easy. The rest of it happens off the page (and hinted at happening post epilogue). They finally let the romance part happen and it just felt natural and perfect and ever-after kinda stuff.
I can't wait for the next installment (and possibly reading the already-written novels about the side characters mentioned in this one).
