4.5 stars"I can't think when you're this close to me""That makes two of us"I missed Claire's writing and with this book she reached my expectations.This book was so much for me, she did an amazing job!

*****4.5 STARS*****{ARC Generously Provided by Author}From the moment I laid eyes on her, I knew she’d be different. From the first conversation, I knew she’d be worth it. From the moment I had her, I knew I’d never get enough. THE PLAYER is Claire Contreras’ first sports romance novel and she has succeeded in delivering an intoxicating and sensual read!! As soon as I saw the gorgeous cover I just knew there was no way the story wasn’t going to be anything less than a winner. Ladies, we have

****4 Stars**** “If you’re at the other end of the chase, it would be impossible for me to be disappointed.” This is my first Claire Contreras book and I now know for sure, it won’t be my last. I really enjoyed this book. I can never pass up the chance to read another sports romance story. I love the idea of a hot and athletic hero. This story had everything I crave; hot, steamy scenes, anticipation and the thrill of the chase, with a tatted up alpha male hero to boot. Camilla is the perfect

I finished this book yesterday and I had mixed feelings about it, so I slept on it without reviewing or rating. Now, on second thoughts, I still feel the same: There are good and sweet things in it, but there are also unbelievable, corny and frustrating things in it too. On top of that, it is sometimes very boring and despite the really good sexual chemistry that is built up slowly, the making love scenes don't live up to the expectations that are built.In my opinion, this book is really overrat...

2.25/5I don't know. I really don't know. This just wasn't what I expected... The story started out nice and it was an ok read until around the beginning of the last quarter, Camila found out who exactly Warren is and then she went crazy. Things went downhill from there. At first, I liked Camila just fine, but the more I read, she became less and less adorable. And by the end, I couldn't care less about her! I have no idea what Warren saw in her. In my opinion, she didn't deserve his love at all....

"You'll be the death of me, pretty girl," he said, grabbing my arms to position me so I was on all fours facing the window." ➦This was my first read by Claire Contreras and I have to say that I did enjoy the book. I'm always a sucker for famous celebrity falling for a regular girl trope :) ➦Warren Silva is a soccer star extraordinaire and is married. To his career, of course. Non-stop practice and travelling for games, a girl in every city and a lot of meaningless sex - that about sum

4.5 'Chasing moments' Stars!I had extreme coverlust for this novel and I am so glad I decided to read this book. My first by Claire Contreras and her first take on Sports Romance, I have to say The Player will definitely not be my last read of anything by her, I LOVED IT!If I have time, I will write a longer review, I am just writing this short text to say I totally recommend The Player if you are in the mood for a super-hot sportsman ;)

4.5 stars! “Life is short. We’re only here to chase moments. I’d rather make those moments worthwhile.” Claire Contreras, cheers to you! This book was awesome!The Player is about Warren, a talented soccer star who plays in the United Kingdom. He comes to New York on vacation and on family business where he meets Camila. Camila is from a family that fell from grace and she took it hard. Now she works for a non profit and can’t afford much, but she works hard and knows what she wants in life.

4.5 stars! When I heard that Claire Contreras was writing a sports romance, I knew I had to get my hands on it. When I saw the cover, I was looking forward to reading it even more! The Player is different than her other books, but I was not disappointed in the least. Fun, engaging, sexy and sweet- this is a fantastic read! Warren Silva is back in his home town of NYC for three weeks. He is a top football player in Manchester and this is the longest he’s been away from the sport in years. He h...

3.5 – 4 Stars Amazon ➺ smarturl.it/ThePlayer_AmazoniBooks ➺ smarturl.it/ThePlayer_iBooksThe Player captured my attention with its luscious cover and enticing blurb. I knew this had to be my first Claire Contreras novel and I dived in with great anticipation soaking up the words and engaging with the story. Warren is one of the most successful football players in the world, playing in the British Football league and endorsement modelling, being a Brit myself I hugely appreciated the nuances perta...

★★★★1/2! The Player (stand-alone). Famous soccer star & manwhore meets the girl who sees beyond the player! “I’d give up my career to chase moments with the right woman.” The Player (stand-alone) is a world-wind sport romance. Imagine a girl catching the attention of the most famous soccer player in the world. Except having no idea who he is. That’s exactly what happened to regular girl Camila Avila. Peach aka Rocky. Soccer super star and real estate investor Warren Silva...

Well I'll be honest, I didn't loved it way too much but still I liked it. It wasn't that bad but I was expecting something more because earlier I read Claire's other books (Hearts series were sooooo good) but still I really enjoyed this story too...

"We're just chasing moments together. After all, isn't that what life is all about?" The Player is one smoking hot read that you will not want to miss! I am a huge fan of Claire Contreras and this contemporary romance about a hot soccer star and the Dominican Republic girl certainly did not disappoint! The Player will you steal your heart, make you laugh, and have you swooning over every page! "Last time I tamed a player, I got burned." Camilla is a strong independent NYC girl. She is clo

➳WOAH! What a freaking book which brings the definition of unique to a whole new level. Claire Contreras sure knows how to hook you in with the love of a sport... ➳So lets take a moment to appreciate the male protagonist's name; Warren. Warren... also known as War and in the field known as War Zone because of the way he plays with full force in the soccer field. His career has made him into a true professional ever since he was fourteen and moved to Spain to grow his experience as a soccer pl

Currently FREEAmazon US * Amazon UK I enjoyed this book and the attraction that these two characters had. I'm a sucker for a book where the Hero has to actually work for the heroine's affection and that describes Warren and Camila's story perfectly. But the chase didn't last too long and that was the key to making this a great story. It never goes well for me when it takes most of the book for the characters to get together so I'm glad that wasn't the case here. I did lose interest just a little...

If you have read Claire’s books you know they are emotional and almost always bring you to tears. I saw on Facebook she said this book was not like her other books and I have to agree. The Player is a sexy, sweet sports romance and like her other books, I loved every minute!Camila, our heroine, is super strong and levelheaded. When push comes to shove she is the first person to stand up and fight for what is right and I loved that about her. We first meet Camila when she learns a developer is th...

3.5 More Than Just The Playing Stars* * * 1/2 Spoiler Free I have already confessed my first attraction to this book was the perfect cover...There... I got that out of the way. It gave all the readers thoughts on who this "player was going to be...A staggering beautiful man, at the top of his game...and wanted by all....and basically, this was that man. This cover and blurb promised all the smexy goodness of a chase, a need to tame, a determination to have his target on his terms one way or ano...
