The Player Next Door

A Novel

De: K.A. Tucker

Narrado por: Luci Christian Bell

From the international best-selling author of The Simple Wild and Ten Tiny Breaths comes a new second-chance hate-to-love romance.

Scarlet Reed has returned to Polson Falls, convinced that 12 years away is long enough to shed her humiliating childhood identity as the town harlot’s daughter. With a teaching job secured and an adorable fixer-upper to call home, things in her life are finally looking up.

That is, until she finds out that Shane Beckett lives next door.

Shane Beckett, the handsome and charismatic high-school star quarterback who smashed her heart. The lying, cheating player who was supposed to be long gone, living the pro football dream and fooling women into thinking he’s Prince Charming. Shane Beckett, who is as attractive as ever and flashing his dimples at her as if he has done no wrong.

Scarlet makes it abundantly clear that old wounds have not been forgotten. Neighbors they may be, but friends they most certainly are not. She won’t allow herself to fall for the single father and firefighter again, no matter how many apologies he offers, how many times he rushes to her aid, or how hard he makes her heart pound.

But as she spends more time with him, she begins to fear that maybe she’s wrong. Maybe Shane has changed.

And maybe this time she’s the one playing herself - out of a chance at true happiness.

I love this author, but this is not my favorite story

I am a big fan of this author, particularly the simple wild; however, I was not a big fan of this story. For much of the book I had a hard time rooting for the Main character. It’s definitely not one I will be rereading.

Enjoyable Read

I haven't read many K.A. Tucker books but the ones that I have read have been good. This one is second chance type romance with a mix of enemy to lovers thrown in. Good banter between the story characters with a little bit of the mean girls from the past that goes into the characters adult life. I would recommend if you are looking for this trope.

Love this author

I have not found a KA Tucker book yet that does not excite me. Love the story line and the performance. Cant wait to read even more.

Love it!

I have the paper back, the e book , n now the audio! It's a book that I will be either listening to or reading over n over! Love the story plot n the characters!

Fun 2nd Chance

This was a fun listen, I really wish we had Shane's POV and honestly I wanted a little more at the end but overall it's a good story with great characters and good narration.
