This series...where do I even begin?

Clutch Player is book 9 in the Clover Park series. Don't let the number fool you, you don't have to read the others to be all caught up with this story. With that being said, i highly suggest reading the entire series because it's a memorable one, and one of my favorite series.

This is Jared and Emily's story. It all starts out with an *Emergency* Well, an emergency by one of Jared's family members' standards, that is. Do you ever not want to do something, but you do anyway because it's family? And then somehow, that choice unknowingly changes your life? That's Jared. if he hadn't done it, he may not have met Emily.

Jared's been known to be the guy all the nurses want to hook up with, but he's not more than a one night kind of guy- until Emily. And boy does she put on the chase. She's got her own baggage and isn't interested in any of Jared's player ways.

But he's persistent. And then when she's persistent, things shift for Jared.

I loved this story. It's funny, sweet, sexy, emotional, and Kylie Gilmore pulled a new one on us- added in a slight suspense element!

I LOVED seeing previous characters. I adore the family scenes, because there's never a dull moment to be found. Lots of great things coming for other family members, and I'm definitely eager for Angel's story. Like, give it to me NOW!

A job well done.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, Lovable, Romantic Everyday Love

Received as an ARC for an honest review. This story is funny, so lovable and so realistic. I love Jared and his whole family, they are so down to earth people.

Jared and his family help one another like family should even though he might not want to he does. Jared is a doctor, single and good looking, Emily is a divorced, trying to heal woman, she is a nurse at the same hospital that Jared works but different floors. Jared's brother helps out on Saturdays on Emily's floor with sick kids so one Saturday Jared fills in for him and they meet. Now Emily knows of Jared "Dr. One and done" but has never met him until now, instant attraction for both but Emily is running.
Emily is trying to stay under radar. Can these two get together? Will Emily's past show up to stop whatever attraction is happening? Will Jared learn he doesn't know everything about love? There are laughable funny moments in this story that's why it makes it a great story.

Kylie Gilmore does it again with her Clover Park family. Don't miss this one. Kylie Gilmore is an amazing author. Can't wait for the next one.

5.0 out of 5 stars but rewarding job that suddenly becomes unbearable when the full-of-himself Jared steps in for his sweet brother during the Satu

Surgeon Jared Reynolds has always been an adrenaline junkie, which makes him the go-to guy in emergencies. He just never expected an emergency that required a…porcupine costume. Nurse Emily Maguire works the pediatric oncology ward, a challenging, but rewarding job that suddenly becomes unbearable when the full-of-himself Jared steps in for his sweet brother during the Saturday morning Captain Cuddle visit. She knows his rep for hooking up with nurses and refuses to fall for his obvious charms. Until an emergency brings them together that has Jared falling into the deep end of love and Emily wondering if a clutch player is just what she needs.

Another wonderful addition to the Clover Park series. Jared does not want to put his heart at risk again and is only interested in one night stands. He is very thoughtful, but is unwilling to expose his true feelings and have them smashed again. Emily had her heart broken before by a player, who was her husband and wants nothing to do with players. They are attracted to each other but neglect talking to one another.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Addition to the Series

I Love this series and have read every book and each one is fantastic. This one is a great story and I really loved it. Its not my favorite but its a very enjoyable read in this series and I loved the characters. I also loved how we get to enjoy a cooking class with Shane and the other characters. I also loved how the children's books Captain Cuddle, written by the heroes mom was used in this book.

This story is about Jared, he is the ortho surgeon brother and in this story Sophia is pregnant with horrible morning sickness so Vince passes the Cuddle costume to his brother, Jared. That is how Jared meets ped Oncology nurse Emily.

Jared has a one and done rep and so Emily refuses to date him. But when he saves her from a press attack she decides it might be fun to have fun with Jared. Unfortunately at that point Jared decides she is too good for him and would be perfect for his other single brother, Angel. That was the fun part watching Angel and Emily torture Jared. But after he decides he wants Emily, he knows it will never be one and done and so now he has to convince her.

I really enjoyed seeing Jared's whole family get involved. It was genius to bring Angel into this romance because we get to learn more about Angel and his romantic feelings for his BFF. I loved the cooking class and Josh who hopefully will get a book soon (hint, hint)

5.0 out of 5 stars Addictive sweet romance with karma at it’s best!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 1, 2016

Clutch Player tells the story of Jared and Emily, who both work at the local hospital but have completely different pasts when it comes to relationships.

One thing I really loved about the plot of this book was Jared’s feeling of it being karma catching up to him, seeing as he was usually ‘Dr one-and-done’ and yet that was what seemed to be drawing Emily to him despite him wishing it wasn’t. The way the story is written, you get to see there is more to Jared than what his reputation would have you believe and how he struggles to change the views of his past behaviour to everyone, including his family to a point. The relationship with Angel and the twist there helped develop Jared as a character further I felt, as Michael’s appearances did with Emily.

Clutch Player has a strong plot that is steadily paced but never feels as though it is being dragged out. The reason behind what causes them to meet is sweet and instantly sets the tone of the book going forward and there is a brilliant twist thrown in towards the end of the book that isn’t overly obvious. I had a sneaking suspicion of how it might play out after a third incident but then thought it would be a long shot so it was a nice surprise to see it was where Kylie decided to go with the storyline. The witty style in which the story is written and alternating views of Jared and Emily draws you in so that, even during the heartfelt scenes, there is always a light undertone to lift the story. However, the high quality of writing also allows for a smooth transition into a more serious tone when needed throughout the book.

I’ve not yet read all the books in this series nor the Clover Park STUDS series but of those I’ve read, The Opposite of Wild is my personal favourite but this is a very, very close second. The author really drew me into Jared and Emily’s story and I genuinely couldn’t stop reading once I started, I was that eager to see where their story took them. As with all books in this series, you don’t have to have read any other books in this series to be able to read this book as all books are standalones with a HEA. However, if you have read all or any other of the books in the series, it definitely adds an extra dimension to the story but has no direct impact on Jared and Emily’s story and I can assure you all is tied up for the couple in this book alone; it just make you feel like you are catching up with old friends, as well as the two main characters.

Overall, this is a sweet hospital romance with a HEA and can be either read as a standalone or as part of the series. Definitely going on my favourites list and I strongly suggest you give this story a read!

*I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I was not compensated for my review, and I was not required to write a positive review. The opinion expressed here is my own.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five emotional stars.

OH MY GOD!
I freaking loved this book!
#9 in the Clover Park Series and definitely not the last I'll be reading.
The story is about Jared, Dr. One-and-done, and Emily, a wonderful and caring nurse on the oncology ward for children.
Both come together in what should've been a simple one time deal, but it's not long before feelings are involved and the characters find themselves not able to stick with the original plan.
Now my own feelings whilst reading this...
I cried. Yes, actual tears and before I'd even gotten halfway into the story. Seeing into Jared's mind, and how he felt about himself was really emotional.
I was annoyed with Emily in some parts because she was so back and forth, but she redeemed herself brilliantly.
And that's what I love about Kylie's books and her writing. She portrays the characters with so much realism that it's hard not to think of them as actual people.
I also loved reading more about the Marino/Reynolds family, their love for each other and also having a teasing glimpse into Angel's life.
I can't say anything else without giving away the story, but I will say that it's an amazing read and highly recommend it.
I can't wait for the next story.
