SIGH...I’m in love, completely captivated by Sam and Val and their romance. I was swept away by it all. Every word. Every moment. It is perfection.
Sam is unlike any hero I have encountered in such a long time. There are so many qualities about him to love: his passion for any and all music, his authentic love of everything that is Val, his ownership of his identity and future. He is completely charming and charismatic, but what I love about him most of all is his goal to get Val to love herself and see herself as he sees her. His devotion to achieving this goal and bringing her out of her shell made me fall in love with this man page by page. Gah. I just love him.
Val and the RLC is the reason this is now my favorite Staci Hart series (all standalones). I see myself in these woman. Their insecurities, particularly Val, resonate with me. Val’s insecurities with her bodies and her nervousness around men spoke to me. I loved more than anything watching her come out of her shell, watching her become bolder, and evolve into a stronger version of herself. Seeing how she changes comes to know her own worth separate from that of Man is empowering. Every moment with these ladies makes me stronger, better, just prouder to be a woman. I love them all so much, Val in particular.
This story wasn’t what I was expecting. I was fully prepared for a book version of She’s All That (romcom movie) and Val screaming, “Am I bet? Am I a freaking bet?” Player, though, is more than this. The reason behind the bet is deeper and more meaningful than just winning. Sam’s desire to protect her and keep her safe enticing. Watching these two fall in love is pure joy. I loved to see them connect through music. I love that he grows as much as she does. Their relationship is what it should be, endless support and devotion, finding joy in the everyday and where passions lie, and loving every part of a person without judgment. This is what romances should be.
Staci Hart is without a doubt a must read author, but this series is about empowering woman, finding your tribe, and taking on the world. It is about finding a man who supports his woman and loves every perceived flaw and dimple because of them not inspire of them. This is what love should be.
