It all started with a bet…

Kassidy Thomas decided to stop hiding behind her past, and start living, but she didn’t quite bet on that start including her singing a horrible song in front of the handsomest bachelor in the NFL, Wyatt Hamilton. She also doesn’t think he’d then consequently ask her out on a date, but turns out when you’re actually living life…crazy things happen.

He needs to win…

Wyatt Hamilton is a player in every sense of the word. Married to the game, he has no interest in relationships, love, or even second nights with the same woman. But from the second the girl-next-door beauty Kassidy knocks on his door to deliver a singing telegram, nothing goes as planned. He can’t stop thinking about her, and keeps showing up on her doorstep for more. That is, until the unthinkable happens…

And all bets are off.

Titles in the Hamilton Family include:  The CEO’s Seduction – Romancing the Bachelor – Catching The Player –

If you love sports romances then Catching the Player is just right for you – if on the other hand you’re more into a touch of humor with your romantic  mix then again this one is for you.  It’s a win all around with a romance that touches on so many parts of life and delivers a really good story with emotions, laughter and a few nail biting moments.

Kassidy has been hurt by love before.  She went into hiding and never really emerged again.  Now she’s tired of remaining behind her curtain and she’s ready to take that chance at living fully once again.  Her timing might have been a bit better for such a momentous decision but nothing gained… and did she ever gain one wonderful, funny, sexy man.  Now if only she could keep him.

Wyatt is frankly married to his career, to the game and to football in every sense of the word.  If a man can eat, sleep, and breathe football then that man is Wyatt Hamilton.  So why is one admittedly cute, funny and really adorable female getting in his head so much that he’s making decisions he’d never, ever make.  Like thinking of maybe forever… it might have worked except for that one mistake.  Now he has to try to save something more important than a game, he has to save his love life and his future.

I had fun with Kassidy and Wyatt.  Yeah, they’re opposites in many ways but they connect in the areas that matter.  She’s blossoming again around this man, and he’s thinking that maybe there’s more to life than the commitment to the game this week.  It is true that there were times that I really wanted to rattle Wyatt’s helmet – and he would have deserved it.  Yet with apologies to the male population… sometimes guys just don’t get it until it hits them on the head.  (to be fair, females act that way at times too).

Catching the Player is fun, emotional, and simply a good escape for a while.  I enjoyed myself and I believe you would too.  I’d definitely recommend this one, and check out the earlier books in the series, too.
