Ok...some advice for romance authors...are you ready...ok...an easy way to make your leading man unlikable is having him hook up with another woman...and to make it worse... picture the heroine while another woman does her thing.... what a dou***!! The rest of the book I spent distracted trying to google how to send smoke signals to Asha..."run and don't look back...you'll thank me later"!

Dax wanted to do right by his best friend and his request to look out for his sister. But he never expected to be so attracted to her. She was the fire and direction he needed to turn his focus around.
Asha was the woman with a plan, determination, strength and use to being in a male dominated world. She had the balls to do the job but there was something else getting in her way this time around. Dax presented a challenge in more ways than just getting him to do his job to the fullest potential.Dax wanted to do right by his best friend and his request to look out for his sister.

Granpa Coulter needed to learn some respect that he constantly demanded from others.
Again York and Odom brought the reader into Legacy Sports, football, Coulter's and more.

It was nice to see Bryce and Tami's wedding and the positive reinforcement when Bryce asked Dax to be his best man. Dax had doubts about Bryce's reasoning and it was nice to see them discuss it and see the positive impact the conversation had on Dax. Since Dax hasn't had much positive feedback from anyone besides Asha, it was nice to see someone he loves and respects provide some.
Gramps needs a little work with his tact, but I guess that's true for many in real life. I just can't believe he gets away with saying some of the things he says. I realize he's old school, but come on. And what is really going on with Brent? Only time (and more books) will tell.

Asha comes with a famous last name and her brother is also a football player. She too needs to deal with the famous last name and the added problem of people not taking her seriously because she is a female in a male world.

Asha comes with a famous last name and her brother is also a football player. She too needs to deal with the famous last name and the added problem of people not taking her seriously because she is a female in a male world.
When Dax and Asha meet she believes he is a playboy who is entitled. He thinks she is the uptight sister of his best friend.
Dax needs Asha to help get him back into what he does well - football. Asha needs Dax to help build that confidence in what she does so well in a man's world.
As they both realize they share some of the same problems they begin to build that relationship. They learn that you can rise above the legacy of a famous last name and the expectations, whether good or bad, of your family, as long as you are good at what you do and have someone in your corner who believes in you, especially when you don't believe in yourself.
I received this ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review. ...more
but like - ok I just did a search of the average age of players drafted into the nfl and got annoyed at a bunch of the crap results AND their content - so that's not helping.
But anyway the hero is ... 21? Barely? And :X just super bitter with a chip on his shoulder and mediocre ish? X:
And the heroine is 20 and ...

No.
Compounded with a meh day of sportsball.

OH! And also - the audiobook. The male narrator read more slowly ... so I had to speed it up to 1.5 for it to be tolerable but 1.5 also sucks because it does mess with stuff - and then the female narrator read more quickly but adjusting back and forth would've been too much of a pain - PLUS she was just ... this whole "attitude" thing. Like the narrator was interjecting attitude into the character where it wasn't in a way that made her not very likeable.
At least for me. Bleh.
I really liked the pacing of the story, it was light and although their could have been Dax is the bad boy, résident black sheep of the Coulter family. When he is drafted to the thrashers, the worst football team in the league, he gets a bit of a wake up call. Asha is hired is hired by the teasers to revamp their image and her job is also to get to know Dax to help the team. Two things are wrong with that 1 - they are very attracted to each other and 2- Asha is Dax's best friend's little sister!
I really liked the pacing of the story, it was light and although their could have been heavy drama, there wasn't and that was refreshing. It is steamy and fun. Love the narrators of the audiobook! ...more
Dax is a d***. That is the role he decided to play in the Coulter family. Asha is a good girl who wants to be bad for once. You don't think they'll work together but they do.
I was anticipating a little more conflict with the brother and the family, but overall a good read.

Another great book and second in this series.
Absolutely adored Dax. He may have been a player but he was also a perfect gentleman when he needed to be.
Loved that he and Asher became an item. Loved her and the way she handled him.
Loved the connection between all the characters.
Well done again Nana.
Dax is the second in The Player series. I read Blake (#1) and Ransom (#5) last year, so I had a loose understanding of some of the Coulters, but that really wasn't necessary -- this book can be read as a stand-alone.
Nana Malone is becoming a go-to for me, for reliably enjoyable quick romance reads.Dax is the second in The Player series. I read Blake (#1) and Ransom (#5) last year, so I had a loose understanding of some of the Coulters, but that really wasn't necessary -- this book can be read as a stand-alone.

I keep waiting for Nana to write a bad one. It maybe because I've followed her for so long. I find her books very enjoyable.
I'm waiting for redoing of plot or something but I'm still intrigued. My only eye raise is her female characters keep getting younger. I'm going to feel too old pretty soon.

I enjoyed this story a lot more than the first. The pacing felt better and the story didn't feel as forced. I liked the MCs and their chemistry felt real .

Living up to everyone's expectations wasn't easy. I love football. Reading about this player who wasn't playing up to his potential was fun. Seeing him toe the line for a young woman who was used to working in a man's world and didn't need help keeping the hounds away made for a strong female lead with a cushy center underneath all that bravado.Dax came from an all sports family starting with his grandfather's football stardom. Then they had winners in hockey, tennis, and more. He didn't believe he could ever live up his grandfather's record. But he could be a star player—in the clubs and off the field.
Asha had a family of sports names to live up to as well. She'd always been pushed and pushed herself. Graduating college two years early, she wasn't even old enough to drink and found herself following the player she was promoting into clubs. She'd earned this promotions job with her own reputation. The player was Dax. Not only was he as hot and the bad boy flirt of his reputation, he was her brother's best friend.
They make a concerted effort to keep things professional but when the heart starts with trick plays it isn't easy. Will they be able to reach their potential without ruining their careers? Will he be able to get past his reputation? When big brother asks Dax to keep an eye on his little sister, an eye was all he wanted touching her. Dax doesn't always follow directions.
Don't pass on this steamy love story with two lovers you will not soon forget.
