“Simply put, he was all that and a bag of chips, and had completely stolen her heart. He’d had her from Dex the Stud.”Harper Nugent is tall, curvy and may have a little junk in the trunk. Okay clarification, she has a lot of junk in the trunk. She has always been insecure with her outside appearance due to the nagging of her stepbrother and stepmother always reminding her that no one wants to date the fat chick. Well there was someone who wanted to date Harper Nugent and he was one of Sydney Smoke's star rugby players. Dexter Blake didn’t see any imperfection when he first saw Harper. All he saw was a goddess.
Dexter Blake’s life consisted of one thing only. Rugby. Dexter has sacrificed so much in order to finally be on a professional rugby team and he won’t let anything distract him from reach the top that is until Harper Nugent turned his world upside down. When Dexter saw Harper’s stepbrother humiliating Harper and calling her fat, Dexter knew that he had to put her stepbrother in his place. Right away, Dexter made it known that Harper Nugent is stunning. Her curves are what every woman would die to have.
“My name on your lips as you come is the sexiest thing I’ve ever heard.”
So one date with Harper was not enough to satisfy his primal need for her. Dexter found himself intoxicated with her beauty, playfulness and vibrant personality. One taste of Harper was not enough and soon Dexter found himself spending every Sunday with her. But as they spent more time together, Harper began to fall hard for Dexter. She didn’t want to continue their casual fling of sex. She wanted more. And she was hoping Dexter would feel the same way. But as it turns out, rugby was non-negotiable. When Harper makes it known to Dexter that she wants to be included in his priorities and that she loves him, will Dexter walk away from the only person that he loves for the sake of his career? Or will Dexter realize that Harper Nugent is his world and way more important than rugby?
“Because the truth was, however they’d classified their relationship, she had fallen in love with Dexter Blake.”Amy Andrews is one of those authors who deserves to be spotlighted. She has sinfully and tastefully wrote a love story that was modern, playful, sexy, steamy, and full of heart in Playing It Cool. Yes, this book has lots of hot rugby players but readers will not be paying attention to the others as Dexter Blake will steal your hearts. This flawed man didn’t know what it was to love someone so much until Harper Nugent showed him that he didn’t need to play for her heart because he already had it. What I especially love about this book was that Amy Andrews didn’t shy away from highlighting a curvaceous heroine. Amy beautifully wrote a story emphasized that no matter what size you are that YOU ARE INDEED BEAUTIFUL and NO ONE CAN TAKE THAT AWAY FROM YOU. So thank you Amy for writing a story that stresses the importance to love your body regardless if you got a little junk in the trunk. And for Dexter Blake, he loved the extra junk in the trunk especially in Harper. So if you are looking for a sports romance that is sizzling with heat, passion, and love then I would definitely recommend you to read Playing It Cool.
