J. R. Ward
Ruthless might as well be Gray Bennett’s middle name. When the renowned Washington, D.C. insider talks, powerful people listen. But Gray hasn’t come home to Saranac Lake to play politics. Or play at all. A tragedy has shaken the unshakable Gray Bennett to his hardened core.
And so has the most unlikely of women.
The mousy redhead who used to run around the Moorehouse B and B - the one he never noticed - is now all fiery hair and lush curves. But sweet Joy Moorehouse is too innocent for a cynic like him. So Gray won’t let himself lay a hand on her…until the night he can no longer resist the woman she has become. That’s when he discovers a secret that leaves him gasping for breath - and wanting more.

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I have read every book this author has written. I must say, I was surprised that this book came from the same author. Joy, the female lead, was not the typical strong character that Ward casts in her stories. Gray, the male character, was strong in some respects, but rather weak in others that didn't seem to quite fit. Honestly, I wanted to reach out and slap them both.The ending was nice, but I was not truly satisfied with their relationship. It was too wishy washy for my tastes and lacked the in-your-face comments, descriptions and dialog that is typical for J.R Ward.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Not my type of romance. The characters were weak and seemed to sacrifice core values for the sake of physical gratification.Did The Player inspire you to do anything?
She made the characters sound too young. I felt as if I were reading about teenagers and not adults.Wow, this is a different book for J.R Ward

That being said, there are two more books and if J.R. Ward keeps to her style, we will get a few more glimpses of these two as their lives begin together.
Overall I enjoyed the book but I don't think I'll be listening to it again.
More angst than love but not bad.

Not the audio version -- the narrator made it a little tough to listen toWould you ever listen to anything by J. R. Ward again?
YES! I love her Black Dagger Brotherhood series and Jim Frangione is a superb narrator. I also enjoyed Covet and the other 2 books in this series.How did the narrator detract from the book?
I could tell she was reading and her inflections and male voices were off. It seems that the best narrators are good actors too. I don't like criticizing, but in the name of honesty it was kind of painful and made me want to stop listening at times.Could you see The Player being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
noStory OK, narrator seemed a little inexperienced

Now onto the story. The chemistry was good the build up of sexual tension was great the overall premise was a bit unrealistic and frankly out of character for the characters but it was a good fluff love story kind of like the Sullivan series. It's a light read nothing suspenseful just nice.
Well I'm ticked!

Not unless they had anything better to do or it was free. I know this book was not part of her usual series so keeping that in mind I thought it rather pedantic. But maybe it was the reader. How to make an audible book sound like you're reading a physic textbook 101.Would you be willing to try another book from J.R. Ward? Why or why not?
I really enjoyed her series and am glad she's branching out into new stuff but this narrator was truly a poor choice. Not only reading like a textbook but any concept she was unfamiliar with i.e. sewing, she over pronounced every word. There were many times in the heat of passion I didn't know which person was talking. Also didn't do the masculine voices at the beginning of the book well at all.Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Emily Beresford?
Kate Rudd, many others.Was The Player worth the listening time?
I have about 3hrs left and am having a hard time finishing it. I will, but only because I've gotten as far as I have.Any additional comments?
Will continue to look forward to new things from J.R. Ward but will definately watch narration.Not the best of J.R. Ward

Gray's a cynical, wealthy, arrogant, powerful, behind the scenes ruthless political figure who's a 'been their done it all', disillusioned with life empty man and it's partly due to his family and partly with the type of business life he leads (and of course he's drop dead gorgeous too). Suddenly during a visit home things 'perk up' when he sees just how much Joy (a local hometown girl) has changed and, shall we call it 'little Gray', wants her.
Joy has been drawn to and dreamt of Gray since forever but he has never noticed her before, but now things are about to change but the trouble is she's just a naive virgin who's a family girl and an all-round good girl but he's finding it hard to resist her or believe in her and is torn between truth or lies. It's a well written, bitter-sweet romance that's sexy, tender, has a great storyline (it's a little unbelievable but hey and shrug this is fiction but we all love to dream), it's got interesting secondary characters who have problems of their own and the message of the book..... hold on to your dreams - 'cause they can come true.
Worth a credit? It would have been but at this price you'd be silly to use one - however, if I had of used one I certainly wouldn't be complaining. Go ahead and try this what have you got to lose - apart from $4.89 for nearly 8 hours so surely it's worth the gamble isn't it?
