CLAIRE!!!! CLAIRE!!!! CLAIRE!!!! CLAIRE!!!! CLAIRE!!!! Do you hear the chants Claire Contreras? Do you hear the sounds of your loyal fans cheering you on? Well, I’m sure you are hearing the sounds of their chants, screams, and undying love for Warren Silva. But I am here to tell you Claire Contreras that although I might be chanting WAR!!!, I am here singing your praise. Claire..you have truly outdone yourself once again. You did not just deliver a love story but you held us hostage with your words and raw emotions. With your poetic, heart-tugging, beautiful, and visceral prose, you allowed readers to see that love and life are about chasing those moments.

The Player is not just your standard sports romance. This book. This story. These characters. The writing. They were a culmination and symphony of a literary masterpiece where heart, love, family, forgiveness, and dreams are laid bare. Yes, this book may have followed a hunky sport celebrity athlete, but Claire Contreras allowed readers to see beyond the glitz and glamor that Warren Silva is just like any ordinary man. A man with vulnerabilities. A man with insecurities. A man with faults. A man who is chasing the moments. And his chase. His moment. His life. It belongs to the one girl that made the chase worthwhile. Camilia.

Warren Silva is a soccer legend. He is the David Beckham of the European Soccer League. He has money. He has fame. He has an endless supply of women begging to be the next arm candy of Warren Silva. But one thing Warren Silva never saw coming was to meet a woman that intrigued him mentally, physically, and emotionally. A woman who didn’t seen Warren Silva, the soccer player but instead Warren Silva, the man whose heart is laid bare.

Camilia is unlike any woman that Warren had met. She didn’t care that he had money to flaunt. She didn’t even know that he was considered a big deal but it didn’t matter to her because she saw the man who was kind, funny, and deliriously sexy. She saw a man who wanted to treat her like a queen. She didn’t see the player. She saw Warren Silva, the man she had fallen for.

So can two people from two different worlds fall in love? Can the rich superstar athlete fall in love with a New Yorker from Washington Heights? And the answer to that is simple.. Yes, but in order to understand the deep, visceral, tangible and palpable connection of their love, you must read and experience it through the eyes of Warren and Camilia. They say the eyes are the windows to your soul. And so I urge anyone who is looking for a love story that puts a modern twist on Cinderella and Sex and The City, is that your Prince Charming and Mr. Big might be the person you least expect. So if you are looking for a slow burn romance where the writing was impeccable and heartfelt, then look no further than The Player. Claire Contreras will not only steal your heart but she will also have you chasing the moments. And possibly chanting War Zone!!
