When he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close at my brother’s wedding, my heart beat faster. When we danced into the night, my mind raced far ahead, entertaining all the possibilities I’d longed for. And later, when Cooper told me he’d won the starting quarterback job before he shared the news with anyone else, I started to believe we could be more.But I didn’t want to lose him as a … a friend, so I chose to focus on him solely as my buddy. That worked well enough for a while.
Until that night, in front of everyone, when he shocked my world to its core.

Trope: sports romance, brothers best friend, Rom-com
She’s had a crush on her best friend since they were young. She doesn’t want to spoil the friendship so she keeps her feelings to herself. She’s followed his football career for years being his number one fan.
Most Irresistible Guy is a fun sports romance by Lauren Blakely. This is a very short read with a not quite cliff-hanger, so we’ll call it a non-ending. This story is also written in first-person format, not my favorite. I did enjoy the characters in this book though. Cooper is her brother’s friend and Violet’s crush/friend for years. Cooper and Violet’s story is short and sweet with a little humor and drama.
Would have given this title more stars had it finished Vi’s pov on what Cooper has done at the end. Instead it just drops off, unfinished. However, it is a very good read. It seems as if Vi isn’t the only one that has been hiding a life-long crush, or at least a crush for maybe him. I do hope it turns out that he has felt the same for her throughout the years, but has had maybe the same fear.
Most Irresistible Guy is a short prequel for Most Valuable Player. You can read it either before or after but if you haven’t read MVP yet then I recommend reading it. It’s a fun little treat before the main course.
I loved Cooper and Violet in MVP so it awesome to get a bit more of them before they heat up!
4 stars!!
Violet has crushed on her best guy friend, Cooper, for nearly two decades but their friendship means too much to her to make a move and risk everything. They have such a sweet, fun relationship and I totally understand the hesitation to start something.
We know how to have fun and we’ve relied on each other over the years the way old friends, good friends do. Translation.
I’m a big girl and I have learned to live with this unrequited crush. I’ve never even tried to requite it. He’s too important to me to let words spill of how I feel.
They are fantastic as friends and to lose that would be devastating. They are each other’s biggest fans and are always there for each other. I could feel a connection no matter how much they fight it. There are flashes of attraction and they have amazing chemistry. The sexual tension builds deliciously and I just wanted them to go for it!!
She is set on staying friends but when she helps him out buy winning him in an auction, his answering kiss changes everything.
Overall, Most Irresistible Guy is so much fun and a wonderful start to Copper and Violet’s love story! This novella is the perfect lead in to the next book, Most Valuable Player, and I loved it!
*Note: I listened to the audiobook and the narrator is fanstatic. She really brings this entertaining novella to life!
This is a very mini-review. It was a novella, but an awesome prequel to a series I now need to go on and read. I loved getting Violet’s take on her crush on Cooper, and how she’d just given up, knowing he probably wasn’t interested, even though at times he might be a bit more flirty than seemed just a friendly thing. The way the ending went though, leading right up to where book one will start? Perfect way to get me hooked to read that book! Now I need the first book in this series!!
This book was GR8. I love how both Characters points of view and feeling were shown in the book.
The love they feel for each other they still keep to themselves even though they flirt with each other some times. I can’t wait for them when they discover that both of them have the same feelings for one another and would do anything for each other!!
Such a great little novella to lead into the next book.

I purchased a copy of the short story Most Irresistible Guy:A prequel novella to Most Valuable Playboy by Lauren Blakely and this review was given freely.
This is a well written glimpse into the unrequited love Violet has for Cooper and the spark of interest Cooper begins to return while they are both participants in Violet’s brother’s wedding.
This is a cute prequal to Most Valuable Playboy. This is just from Vi’s point of view before the bachelor auction, up to her winning the bid on Cooper.
enjoyed this book and the following one by same author
Great beginning to the series.
Larsen Blakely is always a great hot romance read.
Not even a full book. Lame.
Really fun and quick prequel to Most Valuable Playboy. I liked getting the “beginning” of things from Violet’s pov, seeing Cooper through her eyes. I really loved that their friendship was so important to both of them!
Anything Lauren Blakely writes is great. Her books are fun to read.
Not long enough just teases you!
