Player: A College Romance is the first book in the What Happens on Campus series by ML Sparrow.
I liked the book overall but there were a few things that didn’t click with me. I live in Texas and you can’t really get anywhere quickly.
I loved Chloe, her story and how she ended up in Texas. She was incredibly brave to make such a huge decision.
It took a while for Parker to work his way in but once he did, I wanted him to be happy and get everything he wanted in life.
This story was a good beginning to the series, already have the second one ready to read.
Player is the first novel in the What Happens on Campus series by M.L. Sparrow. This is my second novel by this author.
Chloe Newman accepts a scholarship at St. Joseph’s University moving from England to Texas to get a fresh start.
She’s worried about being older than the average freshman but her parents convince her to go.
When she arrives, she meets the campus quarterback, Parker Mitchell, where sparks and interest flies between them.
But with jealous exes, and secrets that Chloe is hiding, do the two have a chance?
I love college romances and this novel hooked me from the very beginning. I was so invested in Chloe’s voice and why she was leaving and felt my heartbreak for her. I wanted to learn more about her as well as the trauma she went through to cause her to leave home.
Her relationship with Parker had its ups and downs, making it feel realistic in my opinion. I just wanted a happy ending for them.
Look forward to reading the next book.
Player a college romance is the first book in the What happens on Campus series. AND I LOVED THIS BOOK! One sitting and I was thrown into the world of Chloe and Parker. Chloe decided to travel from England to Texas to advance her education. Leaving behind a past that haunts her, the last thing she even wants is attention, then enters Parker, who wants her attention and is drawn to her. At first they don’t get off on the right foot, but they are able to form a relationship with them that works. Many outside forces do NOT want them together, from family, to exs, and mostly the past that haunts Chloe greatly.
ML Sparrow, created a world and characters that I could envision, and see when I closed my eyes. I wanted to know what happened to Parker and Chloe so was able to sit and read in one day. I love the books that show me the girl who doesn’t play games meets the guy who is used to getting what he wants. I cannot WAIT to read the next book in this series and get lost in the world the author created for us!
Player: A College Romance (What Happens on Campus Book 1) by ML Sparrow
I truly enjoyed reading reading this story. The author pulled me in from the beginning and then I couldn’t put it down till I got to the end. I loved the character Chloe, although she is dealing with a tragedy from her past she is still quite brave and endearing and witty. I didn’t like Parker at first but as I read on I really grew to like him. I thought the story was well written and I find myself hoping that they can figure out what their relationship should be or can be. There are other characters on this story that we were introduced to and I look forward to reading more about them. I think this is a great read for anyone who likes romance and a little fun. I highly recommend this story! I can’t wait to read book 2!
Such a page turner! Player by M.L. Sparrow is book 1 in the What Happens on Campus series. This story follows Chloe and Parker. Chloe hails from England and is going to college a couple years late and has decided to obtain her education in the great state of Texas! Parker is the college playboy that has aspirations to play in the NFL. Chloe is healing from the loss of her brother and hopes to put those memories of her brother’s death behind her. It isn’t easy for her to form close bonds, that is until she meets Parker and her roommate Riley. Parker sort of weasels his way into her space and even though she doesn’t welcome it at first, she has a hard time fighting it. When the two finally get together after a few bumps in the road they are magic together. Of course they are absolutely perfect together! Their bond is amazing and they are able to fight through some twists and turns that come their way. There are definitely sexy scenes in this book and they are definite scorchers! Super sexy and super hot! This story was definitely a page turner. Yes, this is a HEA and sets you up for the next book in the series. I like the dynamic all the characters have and the close bond they have. The way this book is written you feel like you are in the story and a part of it. I would recommend this book.
Player: A College Romance (What Happens on Campus Book 1) by M L Sparrow. This book captured my attention right from word one. This is a new to me author and I definitely wasn’t disappointed and look forward to reading more. Chloe and Parker’s story has just become one of my favorites for this year. Chloe is no weak character, even though she’s had some tough times she has a strength and back bone I love seeing in female characters. Parker is a good old boy just trying to be more than where he comes from. These two have an instant connection that draws readers into their world. The storyline is well written and paced nicely never feeling rushed or lacking anything. Characters were well thought out and complex. I’m excited to see where this series goes. I’m giving this book a five star review and adding it to my read again list.
This is a feel good sports romance that is easy and enjoyable to read. Both of the main characters are strong and engaging with tragic pasts that pull on your heartstrings. This book hooked me in from the first page and didn’t let go. I would recommend this book for a fast satisfying, read.

5 stars
Chloe is headed to school in Texas after taking time off from going to school after a terrible accident. Being an older freshman isn’t as big of a deal as she thought it’d be, but meeting the star quarterback on her first night was unplanned.
Parker is a player on and off the field, even though girls know the score of no serious attachments, hes found one who may change his thoughts.
I really enjoyed this story and they didnt seem like the immature college kids from some stories which I enjoyed immensely!
Cant wait to read the rest of this series and hopefully see some of my other favorite characters.

5 stars
I really loved this book! When I first read the synopsis I honestly thought it was going to be predictable, naive girl falls for hot quarterback, but it wasn’t, yes there was an element of that but that characters were so much more than I thought they would be. Chloe was such a lovely character typically British but she had one brilliant sassy streak when she needed it! She could take down the nastiest girl with a great one liner! Parker, ok I’ll admit he made me swoon quite a few times, I loved how he was protective of Chloe but also understood that she was perfectly capable of fighting her own battles. His past really pulled on my heart strings and my opinion of him changed dramatically from liking him to absolutely loving him! My only slight thing with this book is that I felt it ended a little abruptly but as there is another book, although about Chloe’s roommate Riley (who by the way I am dying to know about and what is going on with her) so I am hoping we will see more of Chloe and Parker in the future!
If you are looking a nice easy read then I highly recommend Player – one click it today!!
Player: A College Romance (What Happens On Campus) Book 1 is a college based adult romance story by ML Sparrow.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and found it to be a gritty true to life story of what happens on the campus of colleges across America. There is lots of drinking and partying, lots of casual sex, some romance and also the grittier aspect of drug taking. I loved reading about the relationships that are formed: with roommates, fellow students, members of sports teams etc.
Our main characters are Chloe Newman and Parker Mitchell. Chloe is still reeling after the death of her beloved brother in a car crash and decides to move from England to study at college in Texas. On her arrival a college she meets college quarterback and ultimate player Parker Mitchell and there is an instant attraction between the two. Although there is chemistry between 2, a relationship is the last thing both of them. Chloe has worked hard to get her scholarship and a boyfriend is certainly not in her plans. Parker has girls falling at his feet and does not do relationships. They’re far too much trouble.
I loved watching the 2 of them fight the attraction between them and try to be friends, only to then give in to that attraction and take their friendship to a new level.
We are also introduced to some great secondary characters; Chloe’s roommate Riley, Riley’s twin sister Terri and Terri’s best friend Jet. I’m sure we are going to see a lot more of these guys in the rest of this series. If this first book is anything to go by then I can’t wait to get stuck into the remaining books in the series.
I do really enjoy a sports romance I’ve read so many and this one didn’t disappoint either. It’s a quick enjoyable fun read that will keep you hooked from beginning to end that’s for sure. It’s safe to say i was taken on a huge emotional rollercoaster one i was said to reach the end of but i felt connected throughout there journey. The main character’s had amazing chemistry so hot it makes you feel abit hot under the collar haha. I really was captivated by this story line and i look forward to reading more from this author.
Player is book one in the What Happens on Campus by M. L. Sparrow. My, what a beautifully sweet yet sorrowful story of love between two young adults just beginning to spread their wings and discover who they want to be.
Shrouded in guilt, Chloe begins her quest to further her education far from home, while trying to find a peace that has been missing in her life for what feels like forever. Her and Parker meet and start out as friends. Their story is one of innocence and discovery. The emotions I felt reading this were varied and many. A lot happened in this story but the author told the tale perfectly, and in a sincere and unhurried manner. First loves can be harrowing, but the adventure that Chloe and Parker began when they met was a blessing and one I am so glad I got to read. 5 stars.
Player by ML Sparrow
Five Stars
Everyone deserves a chance to better themselves. Parker is a player and could have any girl on campus just because he is the star quarter back. He has a moment where he finds something in Chloe that makes him want to do and be better. I really enjoyed the story. I thought that Parker did the most growing. Chloe wasn’t perfect but she had some character growth when she let go of her guilt.
M.L. Sparrow’s Player is the first book of the What Happens on Campus series. This new adult/college romance immediately starts in with suspense and potential drama later within the story. The pace was strong throughout the story. I liked Chloe and Parkers characters – they were independent and strong, but yet each had their own unique softness about them. The supporting characters were added with a nice flare to support potential future stories within the series for Riley, Jet, Dawson, and several more. The story was entertaining. There were a couple spots where the story fluttered a little, but the author did a commendable job of staying on track and driving the characters in the directions needed to bring them to their specific paths. Overall, a good story with great characters.
Player by M.L Sparrow was such a good story! I did read it in one sitting! I enjoyed it from the beginning but did get a little distracted maybe bored toward the middle but it picked back up by the end. This was a well thought plot with great character developments. Each character was truly defined and made to be easily visualized
The first instalment of the What Happens on Campus series, Player is a new adult sports romance that hits all the right spots. Set in a Texan college, this book had everything I was hoping for and more. I cannot recommend it enough and have already downloaded the next book to read!
Full disclosure, I love a sports romance. Literally any sport and I’m obsessed with whatever book it is, especially if our leading man happens to play American football; even better if he’s the quarterback! As an English girl, like our leading lady Chloe, this allows me to escape into all of my fantasies. Basically, I’ve decided that I am Chloe and her story is now my own. I love this character and everything about her. Having suffered a traumatic event just a few years earlier, she is still learning how to cope with her new life. I love the mix of vulnerability and independence that she has and how despite everything, she has still found the strength to continue with her dreams. I not only want to be her, I want to be her friend, too. What more could you want in leading lady?!
Chloe has something else I want, too: Parker’s attention. What a dream of a man. Yes, he is a bit of a player, but what girl doesn’t love a bit of confidence? He’s a confident, cheeky athlete who also wears a hat (yes, I’m a sucker for this), so he’s basically my own personal version of heaven. While his timing sometimes leaves a lot to be desired, I really loved his and Chloe’s relationship. I won’t ruin the whole story for you, prepare yourself for some emotional moments!
On top of everything else that is perfect about this book, I loved the cast of supporting characters that supported Chloe and Parker. Riley is a particularly interesting character and I can’t wait to find out more about her past in the next book in the series, Flirt. This was a truly brilliant read and I’m about to throw myself straight into the next one!
What happens on campus book 1: Player is written by ML Sparrow. This story was a pretty quick read for me. It started off kinda slow to me however the story was intriguing. You want to know stuff right away and you get small pieces of information but not enough to give you the whole story. Chloe is not your normal main character but you love her. Even if she is kind of standoffish. Parker is just that normal popular football player but he ends up surprising you with comments and actions that you wouldn’t expect. The story was well written and transitioned from scene to scene smoothly.Overall I liked the story and am looking forward to book two: Flirt.
Player: A College Romance (What Happens on Campus Book 1) by M L Sparrow. This was the first book I’ve read by M L Sparrow but it won’t be my last. This was a quick fun read. Once you start you don’t want to put the book down. Chloe Newman from England accepts a scholarship from St. Joseph’s University after a tragic accident. Once she arrives she meets Parker Mitchell a star football player on and off the field. They don’t think much of each other at the beginning but soon things change. Parker is in awe of this English lady although Chloe is wary of Parker and his player ways. They eventually get together but so many things try to break them apart, his ex, his family etc. Will they make it? I’m excited this is just book one and can’t wait to read the next one. Read Player: A College Romance to see if Chloe and Parker make it work. You’ll be so glad you did.
This is the first book in this series and I enjoyed it. I enjoyed how this author pulled me in from the very beginning. The characters took me on an emotional roller coaster that I wanted to keep going. They are connectable and lovable not to say great chemistry and steamy. This story is about a player who meets someone who wants serious relationship but will they find a happy middle. They are strong characters that I enjoyed watching grow throughout the story. I highly recommend this book
