Novel Seduction: Blog Tour: Review, Excerpt, & Giveaway: Play by Holly Roberts

When Killian MacGregor, the hottest quarterback in the NFL, eyes the perfect pair of female legs, he spends an hour tracking the gorgeous woman in a room filled with rowdy teammates until one gets out of line.

Rebecca Cavanaugh, a long distance runner for the state team, intimidates boys and men with her quick wit and majestic height. The pre-season jock party isn’t her scene, but she’s roped into attending to provide her sister a sober ride home.

Hiding in the kitchen to avoid the athletic sex fest, a drunken thug forces Rebecca to her knees, and waves a giant ding-dong in her face. Before Rebecca can extricate herself from the hairy situation, an unknown champion saves the night. When Killian assists Rebecca off the floor, she’s stunned into silence while staring at the sexiest man alive.

Will Killian’s bad boy rep and Rebecca’s need for commitment, make this the most impossible “Play” of the season? Or, will Killian’s haunting past and need for victory destroy the most important game of his life?

“Play” is intended for readers 18+. Enjoy with caution… this book contains adult situations, erotic sex, and more balls than a girl knows what to do with.

Review

5 Stars!

Since having a baby and not getting a full nights sleep in 5 months it has been very rare for a book to keep my attention enough to read it in 1 sitting.

Play had me up until the wee hours of the morning because I just could not put it down. After about midnight I kept telling myself, 2 more chapters, ok now really just 2 more chapters then I’m going to bed. Killian was hot! His confident, commanding alpha male self was swoon-worthy. Rebecca started out a little awkward complete with a tweety bird shirt at her first pro football game and I loved that because of Killian and his adoring words she was able to grow into a more confident woman. Who wouldn’t when the hottest guy ever worships and adores you? The book started out with a bang and a growing member in your face and kept a steady pace through the whole thing. I never felt like Holly rushed things nor did any part of the story drag on. I thought she did a good job developing the characters and every one was great. I enjoyed Killian’s mom and her stern “pull your head out” attitude. Rebecca’s friends Amanda and Lyle were a riot and even Stump redeems himself and becomes likable.

This was the first book by Holly Roberts that I have read and now I want to gather up her others and read them. I am definitely a fan!

Excerpt

I dissolved into the seat of his amazing car. A low moan escaped my lips but Killian just showed his dimples and buckled me in. I wondered what he’d do if I pulled him tightly against me and sniffed… for an hour or two.

He opened his door and folded into the seat with absolute grace regardless of his size.

“Ah hell,” he muttered and turned my way. Unlatching my seatbelt, he pulled me in for the most mouthwatering kiss I’d ever had.

His lips, soft but firm, molded to mine. His tongue ran over my teeth, tasted, dipped deeper, and then plunged. He effortlessly slid out the elastic holding my hair before spreading his fingers to either side of my scalp. The kiss intensified and Killian made promises for the night ahead with his lips.

He tasted so damn good.

When he pulled back, I actually whimpered and smiled at the low rumbling growl that came from Killian’s throat. He took my lower lip between his teeth and pulled slightly before letting go. He put distance between us leaving me bereft.

“We’ll eat at my house.” He kissed my forehead, reached over, grabbed the seatbelt, and fastened me in again. My hands went to my hair as I looked around for the hair tie.

“Leave it.”

I stopped my search but couldn’t help running my fingers through the mussed tangles. Killian’s hand captured mine. “No.” He released my fingers just as fast as he verbalized the one word.

I wasn’t a pushover, didn’t have much experience with guys, but I had some. I should have argued, straightened my hair anyway, or even voiced some sort of displeasure. An electrically charged pulse shot straight to the junction of my thighs, and there I went and tried to stain his car’s upholstery.

I kept my mouth shut.
