A Novel

De: Alexandria Bellefleur

Narrado por: Lauren Sweet

Lambda Literary Award winner and national bestselling author Alexandria Bellefleur returns with a steamy Sapphic rom-com about two rival publicists who are forced to work together when their mega-famous clients—a popstar and a quarterback—begin to date.

Poppy Peterson’s life is finally back on track and she’s thriving as the publicist of the NFL’s most promising quarterback (and her childhood best friend), Cash Curran. So, she doesn’t appreciate when he makes an impulsive and public pass at America’s popstar darling, Lyric Adair. When Lyric’s notorious publicist Rosaline Sinclair reaches out, Poppy is ready to face her wrath, but instead learns that Lyric is equally interested.

As Cash and Lyric embark on their ill-advised whirlwind romance, Poppy and Rosaline are forced together, each determined to protect their own client from the other. Poppy is frustrated by Rosaline’s cool demeanor, while at the same time, as a legend in the industry, she’s determined to impress her. But, no matter what she does, she can’t shake the feeling that Rosaline doesn’t like her.

That is until one steamy night, when the two women contend with their unexpected feelings and begin a messy romance of their own. But with paparazzi, tabloids, and stalker fans nipping at their heels, Poppy and Rosaline’s loyalties will be tested in ways they could never expect.

A high energy, Sapphic, and deeply sexy romance, Playing for Keeps has everything readers expect from Alexandria Bellefleur and more!

Something about A.B RomComs

Man, when I see an A.B book I know im in for a treat. Like the rest of her books. This one does not disappoint. Had me cryingggg of laughter.

My favorite Alexandria Bellefleur novel to date!

Oh wow, what a great novel. I love Poppy and Rosaline. Their story is sexy, sweet, funny and heartwarming.

Sooo good!

I absolutely loved it and I loved the characters especially Rosaline. There was just the right amount of build up and the “are we/arent we” wasn’t dragged out like other stories. A little predictable but such a great feel good story with the perfect level of angst and drama. Lauren Sweet did fantastic as always and the spice was delicious!

Great listen!

This had a great pace, good banter. I listened to it in less than 24 hrs. No crazy angst, but not insta-love. Just a great, easy (yet interesting) listen. This was my 5th AB book - and let me tell you, she added the wasabi to this one! 🔥
