Playing for You by Stacy Travis


ABOUT THE BOOK

I'm the office introvert, a blast of socially awkward sunshine on a stick. Donovan Taylor is a broody, gorgeous soccer player with a chip on his shoulder. We are not a thing.

But when my boss sends me to a pro sports banquet, I stumble in late and find the only empty seat next to the San Francisco Strikers' resident hottie and marquee player. Of course, I promptly make a fool of myself. I don’t even expect him to remember my name, let alone kiss me.

Or ask me out.

I mean, seriously, I program computers for a living and play mahjong for fun. I don't hook up with gorgeous green-eyed players and stroke their egos or their abs--although it’s a hell of a good time--because I know it will never last.

But my competitive streak runs hot, and Donovan may be the one person who can get me the promotion I deserve. All I need to do is convince him to join my company's virtual reality sports game--avoid falling for him in the process.

So what if his moves off the field are as impressive as his moves on it?

How hard can it be to win at his game?

 ABOUT THE AUTHOR



It’s a rough world out there, and we all sometimes need a good, romantic beach read, even if we can’t make it to the beach. I’ve spent many lazy days walking the streets of Paris and other gorgeous European cities, and if I’m doing it right, I’m bringing you a dash of romance and a vacay fantasy.

I can’t sit still, so when I’m not hiking, biking or running, I’m playing a very average game of tennis. Background music for writing undoubtedly features some U2, Lizzo, Billy Joel, Pink, Taylor Swift, and Led Zeppelin. Not necessarily in that order. And if I could only eat one food group, it would be cheese. Or wine. Or bread. Are those food groups? Whatever.

This was my first time reading this author and I really enjoyed this story. I am not sure if its part of a series and from what I gather some of the characters in the story have previous books and one coming up next but not having read those stories, I did not feel like I had missed anything by starting with this story.

This story was very original and I learned alot about the national sport of Soccer and also about Virtual Reality games. This book has A LOT of info on soccer, I felt at times it was maybe too much for me, but if thats your thing, I think its something that other readers might love. I still loved the story even with all the soccer info.

This is the story about Donovan or Donno or Don who is a soccer player from England who is a star soccer player but came to San Franscisco because of a scandal that he refuses to discuss. He meets Tatum at a gala announcing him joining the team. Tatum is a programmer of VR reality games and her boss wants Donovan to be a player in his game. Her job is to convince him to sign on.

Meanwhile Donovan's agent wants to show the world that Donno has been tamed by a woman but the only woman Donno is interested in is Tatum and she has a tough time believing he is into her. 

This was a fun story and I enjoyed it once I got past all the soccer talk. I really liked both D and T and they made a super adorable couple. I also loved Charlie, Tatums boss and I love that he will get a story next with her sister.
