Lead Player - An Everyday Heroes World Novel - by Alex Grayson







Blurb

I wasn’t looking for love... more like a one-night stand.

Hey, a woman has needs. And it couldn’t possibly end any worse than my last relationship.

If catching my long-term boyfriend getting plowed by his handsome best friend wasn’t bad enough... the fact that they were in our bed should be.

So, yeah. I’m good with one wild night with a complete stranger.

I just didn’t expect him to be so damn hot! I couldn’t tear my eyes away—even when he caught me staring. It was as if an invisible force held me captive in his lust-filled gaze.

We agreed, just one night. But the next morning I woke up in an empty bed feeling more alone than I expected.

Little did I know I would see my mystery man again. But the next time we would be standing beside our best friends as they said, “I Do.”

Not only was my one-night stand the best man... it turns out he’s the cocky lead singer of popular band Phenix.

No wonder he rocked my world, he’s had plenty of practice.

Alex Grayson’s Lead Player is a spicy, one-night stand, contemporary romance written in K. Bromberg’s Everyday Heroes Worlds project.

Excerpt

“What’s your name?” My voice rumbles quietly.
Her brows shoot together and her eyes dart away. Her look is a dead giveaway that she’s quickly coming up with a fake name.
“Eve.”
My lips quirk up. She chose wisely. The name suits her. Innocent, but naughty.
“I’ll make it worth it, Eve.”
“Mighty sure of yourself, aren’t you…?” she asks, leaving the sentence open.
“Taylor,” I supply, taking a number out of her book and giving her my own fake name. “And I’ve never had any complaints before.”
She puts her hand on my chest and toys with the top button, like she’s contemplating undoing it.
“Maybe I’ll be the first.” She smirks.
I dip closer, feeling the heat from her lips on mine. It drives me wild. “Doubtful.”
“So, what exactly are we talking about here?”
“You tell me.” I grab a loose piece of her hair and trail the end over her neck. Her eyelids lower. “What do you want?”
She leans her head back against the wall. “One night only.”
Disappointment hits, which is confusing as hell. I never want more than a single night. I’m usually itching to leave before the night’s even over. Something tells me it’ll be different with this woman.
“One night only. No strings. Anything goes,” I suggest.
She mulls it over before she dips her chin. “Deal.”
“Not good enough. This needs to be sealed with more than words.”
Before she can say anything more, I lower my head. The instant my lips touch hers, I know this is going to be a long and enjoyable night. I’ll make damn sure it is.
Her mouth opens immediately to meet my probing tongue. She tastes delicious. Like some kind of exotic fruit.
Laying my forearm flat on the wall, I press my chest into hers. Her small moan and the bite of her nails digging into my pecs goes straight to my dick. When she tilts her hips up and pushes her mound against me, I have to fight back the urge to yank her skirt up, tear away her panties, and shove inside her.
Sweet mercy, I’ve barely touched the woman and she’s already driving me mad.

I had a few issues with story.

1. Nova is the main character, Alaina's inner voice, yep she gave her a name. I think the author meant for it to make her seem cute and quirky but instead, many times I was like who is Nova?

2. The male lead, Enzo was not not the sharpest guy. His sisters bestfriend is constantly making fake emergencies and he doesn't see the light until almost the end. Plus at one point he almost has sex with someone else in the story.

3.  Alaina has an ex too and when she tells the audience about her ex its was just really weird. Her ex Terry she dated for 3 years until she finds him having sex with his bestfriend. Turns out he is gay and cheated on her and has issues with his gayness, but she is totally cool with it and they are buddies now and do lunch, It was just such a strange reaction to something that was so huge.

Aside from all that I loved the story. Its a 2nc chance at love after a one night stand with a sexy rock star who turns out to be her bestfriends fiancees bestfriend too. So they keep running into each other.

I loved that she made him work for his 2nd chance with her and that she is this strong and independent woman. At times I felt Enzo was kinda dense but I liked that he realised that Alaina was worth it.
