Publisher's summary

There's nothing like a man in uniform...or out of it!

Especially when he's as hot as former Ranger Jamie Flanagan. After their last assignment went horribly wrong, he and his buddies needed to get out of the military for good. There was only one catch, that he and his pals promise their commanding officer one favor. Any favor.

Now tall, dark, and sexy Jamie is a top security specialist and the ultimate ladies' man. So he's more than a little surprised when he learns the colonel has set him up to protect his granddaughter. Who would trust a player like Jamie with a gorgeous woman like Audrey? Then he learns his "mission" is to seduce her away from another man.

The mens army

The book was a quick read I thought it would be more about the military and what was expected. The sneakiness of the Colonel ,” thoughtful.

Book Review

This was a very good book. Great plot,great reader, and characters will buy more of this authors books.

THE PLAYER GOT PLAYED

What did you like best about The Player? What did you like least?

Ok, this book, well first of all, coming from a male perspective in a romance was different. However, the characters seemed to be predictable. Secondly, I believe in love at first sight, but you can see the set up. What I liked was the humor between the characters.

What I liked least about the book it lacked imagination on the sexual scene. I know that writers like to use same ole words, but can I missed the fore play. I needed more description.

If you’ve listened to books by Rhonda Nelson before, how does this one compare?

No this is the first time. I would like to hear another one

What about Ian August’s performance did you like?

I thought August performance was interesting. AND his way he read the African American character was a bit steretypical and ghetto. But Funny! I thought it was fun to hear a man read the sex scenes. I was not use to that. Made the scene seem sorta exciting.

What would have made this romance irresistible?

Better foreplay, longer romance, and more conflict between characters. He did not have to work for the booty. She did not have to work hard to get her man. EASYYYYYYYYYY! WAY TO EASYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!

Cute But Predictable

Emotionally stressed Jaime Flanagan is sent on one final mission, except what he doesn't realize is......he is the mission. Light entertainment at its finest, good story to listen to while cleaning the house or yard work.

Not too bad

It was a pretty descent book for the money......The man narrator wasn't too bad either. Defiently a fantasy book though. Not sure this would really happen in real life, but not to bad of a book.

A Good One!

I really liked this book - it had a great story and a good romance. To add more insight, my husband and I were on a road trip and I suggested we listen. Of course he protested, but I asked that he give it 5 minutes. Needless to say, he listened to the entire book - way to go Rhonda Nelson!

The narrarator was excellent and made the characters very believable.

The Player

This book is for anyone who likes a Romanic story were the charactors humer is what makes this book so funney.

Just slow down

The story is predictable, but most of all I wanted the reader to slow down just a bit. The reading seemed rushed.

book review

Good story line the narrator wasn't that great. I stayed interested because of the characters.

Those vexing arrows

On the plus side, the reader was fun. There were few grammatical mistakes and the plot was coherent.

However, the story was absurd, and the book seems to have been written by a tag team. I suggest you give this one a pass if you believe that no book needs the sentence, "An arrow of heat landed in his groin," once, let alone twice. :)

I suggest instead the Linda Howard _Mackenzie_ books.
