Publisher's Summary

My ex-fiancé is back, waving around my expensive ring, sitting in stands, and being a real pain in the ass. My lady-friend is pretty cool about the whole thing until the ex sets me up for a photo shoot, starring yours truly and her naked in my hotel room. That's when I figure enough is enough. Sure, we've been friends since we were kids but that doesn't give her the right to ruin the best thing that's ever happened to me. And when the love-of-my-life disappears? That's just over-the top.

This is book two in the Busted Play series. Absolutely no cheating, despite what the ex wants, and HEA guaranteed.

I like it

The story was good. I didn't read or listen to the first book, But I did like.  CJ is a football player and a playboy!  Meets a woman who has stolen his heart.  I will now read the first book. I received this audible for free.

A southern mama would have handled this differently.

Hmmm. This one makes a little less sense than then first book, relationship-wise, but I still feel like I need to finish the series, because I’m nosy and I just need to know ALL the stories.

Wouldn’t it be magical if sex fixed all the drama in our lives and we could just skip the arguments? Just kidding. That seems to be the go-to solution for them, oh, except that they still have all the drama.

At least the people misusing the word “y’all” were mentally unstable. Otherwise, I’d still be dwelling on how very irritating that is. ;).

Exciting

C. J. finds himself having to deal with a crazy woman that he used to be engaged too.
Jonathan Waters is a very talented narrator. He can do the female characters with a sexy voice. He dragged me into the story with every emotions.

Two Down, One to Go!

I am so loving this series. Agnsty heat at it’s best! The is part two. I chewed through this like it was my job. This story is so, raw, so compelling and so real. Standout narration makes the time fly and my escape into this story complete. On to part three......

Love with a dangerous element!

This is a cute quick story of CJ and Mel. I enjoyed them and their story. It’s full of action, sexy times and danger. I enjoyed it and look forward to more.

I did listen to this on audio. Jonathan Winters did a nice job. His accents are wonderful to listen to. Finn?? oMG! Irish!

Great story and great Narrator!

Received audio book for review. The narrator Jonathan Waters was a pleasure to listen to. He does a great job telling the story.
I listened to the first and second book. I messed the first review up, so, I’d like to address both books. There are heavy subject matters in which Stella does a beautiful job portraying through the characters. I could really feel for the characters as they worked through their issues together. In my opinion, I would have loved if the 1st book was a cliffhanger because I’m a fan of cliffhangers (as long as the story has a resolution, of course). I can’t wait to listen to the 3rd book next!

He's too nice

Very fast moving book that you will have a hard time putting down. The two main characters Melanie and Chance were very well developed along with the storyline. Two issues - the length of the book and Chance was just too nice for too long with his ex. I was really hooked and then it was over. While this book does not require that you read the rest of the series, you will want to just to see where Stella, has taken the characters. Could just as easily have been one long book.

Jonathan Waters did a great job of narration. Brought the characters to life. Easy to listen to.

This story has chemistry between our main characters. Drama, suspense. Watch your step with Mary Jane...

Book 2

Another good quick story. The ex-fiancé in this book needs to be taken down and notch. Other than that bunch I loved all the characters. The narration was good however there were some editing errors. I recommend this book. 🎧 audiobook Obsession

Absolutely amazing chemistry

This has got so much packed into such a small book I’m in love. I love the drama and the suspense and just wondering what the crazy lady is going to do next. The narration was spot on with pacing and different voices for the different characters. Just simply amazing

Enjoyable

This book has so much more to it than a sports book. To be honest the sports bit doesn’t feature that much in the storyline. It’s got good characters and lots of action. Excellent narration from Jonathan.

Chance and Melanie!

This book picks up where Busted Play leaves off as Chance and Melanie decide to keep their relationship secret and away from the media. Things were going well until his ex-fiancee returns as she tries to create havoc by ensuring that the press believe that she and Chance are together but how far will she go to get Melanie out of the picture so that she can take her place?

This story has it all drama, suspense, angst and off the charts chemistry. I received a complimentary copy of the audiobook and thought the narrator did a great job of bringing all the aspects of the story to life.
