What a great love story.
Rep & Lola are both very high profile people who hit it off pretty quickly when he helps her with her friend and his drug problems. Their chemistry is off the charts. Things are going great until Lola’s bandmate Milo resurfaces in a drug flophouse. Things turn ugly and hurtful words are said. It will take complete trust and honesty for them to work through everything and find their way back to each other.
A great story of real love overcoming even the toughest obstacles
Rep and Lola’s love story was amazing, emotional, and sexy. I truly enjoyed the novella Daring the Player by Robin Covington. Rep, a football player for the Miami Thunder, is not happy with his new neighbor, rock star Lola, and the loud party she was throwing. When a fight breaks out in Lola’s condo, Rep rushes next door to help out. As a thank you, Lola invites Rep to dinner at her favorite restaurant. Rep is surprised by Lola, by her openness and honesty in addition to the spark of heat he feels when they touch. After a public and vicious divorce to his college sweetheart, Rep has led a quiet and drama free life. Rep’s contract is up for renewal and knows to stay out of trouble, but spending time with Lola has become a priority. Everyone owning a phone is taking photos of these two whenever they spend any time out in the public. Two stars, hanging out is enough fodder to bring out the paparazzi. The heat between these two is sizzling, singing this reader. These two were sex machines, at their finest. Being taken to jail after a huge fight breaks out at a drug den while trying to save Lola’s band mate, Rep is too mad at himself to positively deal with Lola and her needs. It takes Rep making a huge statement before getting Lola back into his life. He definitely went big before going home.
Ms. Covington wrote an erotic and moving story filled with sexual chemistry, fun dialogue, and endearing characters that is not to be missed. I highly recommend Daring the Player to other readers.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
Rep Grissom, wide receiver for the Miami Thunder, is awoken at 2 in the morning by his new neighbour: Lola Corbin, lead singer of a super popular rock and band. It seemed to have quieted down, but then Rep hears some noises, and he goes to see what’s happening. When he gets there, Lola is hurt, and there are 2 guys. Rep gets rid of them. It happens one was another band member, high on drugs and the other guy a dealer. Rep takes care of Lola’s cuts and bruises. Physically, she’s just his type but she reminds him too much of his ex-wife, which is definitely not good. But neither can deny the attraction they feel, and Rep decides to give Lola a try; he just can’t resist her!
Wow! Talk about hot! Robin Covington does it again! Although it’s a novella, we get to know a lot about Lola and Rep’s lives, what makes them tick, and they are fabulous characters! Lola is fun, enthusiastic, honest, direct, wild; she is simply wonderful! Rep is more reserved … in public, but in private: he is as sexy as you can get. They connect like no one’s business! The story moves quickly, there is some drama for both characters, and the dialogues are so much fun.
And the sex scenes? As hot as anything you can think of! I loved Lola and Rep so much, I hope we can read more about them in the future.
