~*SYNOPSIS*~
The first time I met Brody
Easton was in the men’s locker room.
It was my first interview
as a professional sportscaster.
The famed quarterback
decided to bare all.
And by all, I don’t mean he
told me any of his secrets.
No. The arrogant ass decided to drop his towel,
just as I asked the first question. On camera.
The Super Bowl MVP quickly
adopted a new hobby—screwing with me.
When I pushed back, he
shifted from wanting to screw with
me, to wanting to screw me.
But I don’t date
players.
And it’s not because I’m
one of the few women working in the world of professional football.
I’d date an athlete.
It’s the other kind of player I don’t date.
You know the type. Good looking, strong, cocky, always looking
to get laid.
Brody Easton was the
ultimate player.
Every woman wanted to be
the one to change him.
But the truth was, all he
needed was a girl worth changing for.
Turned out, I was that
girl.
Simple right?
Let’s face it. It never is.
There’s a story between once upon a time and happily ever after…
And this one is ours.
~*EXCERPT*~
A new song had just started, and I was enjoying his company
when a voice behind me said, “Can I cut in?”
My head whipped around, even though I had no doubt whom
the gravelly voice belonged to.
Michael was gracious. “I hate to share. But I suppose I
have been hogging the most beautiful woman at the event.” He let go of my hand
and stepped back with a gentlemanly nod. “Thank you for the dance, Delilah.”
Again Brody Easton had caught me off guard. Before I knew
it, I was dancing with the arrogant jerk.
He wrapped his arms around me and pulled my body tight against his. Way
tighter than Michael had held me.
“Good to see you again, Lois Lane.”
The man had balls; I had to give him that. I looked him
straight in the eyes. “Nice to see you with clothes on, Easton.”
“Do you prefer me without?”
“I prefer you on the other side of the room.”
He chuckled. It was a hearty laugh. “That’s what happens
sometimes when you decide you want to hang out in the men’s locker room.”
I tried to pull back, but he tightened his grip and held
me in place. I craned my neck. “Let go of me.”
“No.”
“No?”
“That’s right. No.”
“I can scream at the top of my lungs.”
“I’d like to hear you scream.” His tone made it clear he
meant he wanted me underneath him while I was doing the screaming.
“You’re an asshole. You know that?”
“I do. You asked me that yesterday. For a reporter, you
should really try changing up your questions more frequently.”
My eyes bulged.
Easton shifted his hand down to the small of my back
before twirling us around the dance floor. Figures
the prick can dance.
“Are you seeing anyone?”
“You can’t be serious?”
He ignored my comment. “Would you like to have dinner
tonight?”
“We just ate.”
“Dessert at my place, then?”
I couldn’t help but laugh. “Did you hit your head at the
game yesterday?”
“On a diet, huh?”
“Yeah. That’s it. I
don’t want to go to your place for dessert because I’m on a diet.”
“Well, that’s just a shame.”
~*REVIEW BY JODIE RAE*~
The
Baller by Vi Keeland is a sinfully sexy, incredibly sweet, hysterically
funny, and charming romance. I was utterly hooked on this book and I
read it so fast I didn't want it to end. I loved Brody and Delilah's story!! The Baller is a FIVE LEAVES story!!
Every
book I've every read by Vi Keeland, I always say, that's my favorite.
Well, I have to say, this book is now my new favorite! I enjoyed this
story on so many levels. I think my favorite part in this book is the
Brody and Delilah's first meeting in the locker room, while he drops his
towel in front of her!! This book is steamy and sweet rolled into a
great read. I loved the pace and the build up between the main
characters. The two had me smiling from the beginning until the very
end!! Of course, in every relationship there are some troubles and at
the end of this book there are some angsty moments that made me want to
pull my hair out.
The story is about Delilah Maddox who is a sports reporter on her first big story. Delilah is covering the New York Steel, the
team where her father used to be the quarterback. Delilah is ready for
her first interview, which happens to be with the quarterback for the
New York Steel's, Brody Easton. Brody is a cocky womanizer who knows he
can get any girl he wants. Brody admits he has a past and he is not
going to settle down for anyone until he meets....Delilah. The
connection between Brody and Delilah is so strong that it just oozes off
the pages.
