Play Boy: A Bad Boy Friends-to-Lovers Romance

Blue Collar Bachelors, Book 2

De: Cassie-Ann L. Miller

Narrado por: Tor Thom, Anastasia Watley

He's my best friend. He's a player.... And now, he wants me in his bed.

Charlie Hartley is the thing that addictions are made of. At least that's what I've heard from the parade of desperate women who've gone through his bedroom's revolving door. Brash and unapologetic, tattooed and insanely handsome. I'm sure there's a Charlie Addicts Anonymous meeting taking place somewhere in the great state of Illinois as we speak.

I've become really good at keeping him at arm's length and keeping my silly crush under control. After all, it's a skill I've been perfecting since the first time he stood up to a bully for me back in the 8th grade.

But when he offers to escort me to my 83-year-old grandmother's wedding, I start seeing him in a new light. Maybe there's more to him than that smoking hot body and those playful, flirtatious eyes.

Now, we're growing closer, crossing lines, shattering boundaries. I've strutted out of the friend zone and straight into his bed. But that's perfectly fine because I'm a tough girl. I can manage a juvenile, little crush. And there's no chance that a guy like Charlie will start catching feelings for me.

One drunken night of hot sex won't change our friendship.... Will it?

Contains mature themes.

Now they’re closer because his sister has married his best friend and Nova meets that need. Charlie is also a player and Nova pities his conquests, knowing that he is a ‘one & done’ guy. Nova swears that she will never become one of those women. Then she takes Charlie as her plus one to a wedding...and the lines become blurred. Can Charlie give up his player ways and settle down with Nova? Can Nova shed her insecurities and let Charlie into her heart? Loved this friends-to-lovers story and look forward to more in the series.

Friends to lovers romance

Play boy falls in love with his friend/sister’s best friend. Miscommunications and no not a lot of suspense.

Reformed Playboy best friends to Lovers

Best friends to lovers is one of my favorite tropes! This book did NOT disappoint!

Butterfly

I love love love how he calls her butterfly. I don't know why but that just made the story for me.

The male narrator is absolutely awful ...

The book itself isn’t bad, pretty similar to other books I’ve read by this author. The female narrator was pretty good but the male narrator was awful. I only made it Halfway through the audio book, I couldn’t even finish it. Don’t waste a credit. Read it on Kindle instead!

ok story

The story was had good homes and ideas lease characters reasons or being who they were was not address fully. it was glazed over and never really dug deep. Great ideas but execution needed a little tweaking. The female voice performance was great. The male voice performance was too flat. It was too much of the same for the entire thing. They only time the performance picked up was when he was performing as a woman but as a man it was monotone. It lacked a full personality ....the personality that the words were describing and I simply was not convinced by the performance. Overall it was ok. A sweet story with some interesting choices.

Disappointed by changes to main FMC

I don’t know why the writer decided to change Nova from a Black woman with a Black mom to a biracial woman with a white mom. Disappointed because I was really looking forward to listening to the book where the BFF in the first book is the main character. She has a different personality too. Less confident and interesting. Otherwise, I guess this book is ok.
