Bedroom games are fine … but I need a woman who won’t play with my heart. After years in the military, I’ve faced down a lot of things, and there’s not much I shy away from. Except relationships. Because when you catch your wife in bed with another man, that tends to sour even the most hardened man against women.When I was hired to keep surveillance on a woman with a checkered past, I went into … with a checkered past, I went into the job anticipating the worst. But what I found was a woman who turned my head. Who made my blood heat and my body burn. A woman who made me feel alive again.
A woman who was nothing like what I expected, but everything I wanted. A woman who, it turned out, needed my protection. And wanted my touch.
And as the world fell out from under us, and everything I thought I knew shifted, there was only one reality I could hold onto—that the more I got to know her, the more I wanted her.
But if I’m going to make her mine, I’ll have to not only keep her safe, I’ll have to prove to her that I’ve conquered my own fears and doubts. That I’m done looking into the past, and that all I want is a future—with her.

Bravo sharing problems some recent vets experience.
Not for me. I simply could not get into it. She is a plus model and someone is stalking her even ho he, Alex-vet turned security agentwas hired by the stalker. Seems to me he is all over her in a veryunprofessional way for hestartof he book.
LOVED!! The only complaint I have about Gracie and Cayden’s story is that it was too short! I am a huge J. Jenner fan and Pretty Little Player was everything I hoped it would be!
This was a fun book to read, it had serious subject matter, but delivery was so great. I loved the characters and their depth in such a short book.
Romantic, cute with a bit of suspense
Loved this novella-length romance with a bit of suspense. It’s engaging and written in the male POV. Cayden Lyon is part owner in Blackwell-Lyon Securities dealing with high end clients. But Cayden has emotional baggage left over from his cheating ex-wife. Still bitter from the betrayal, it’s no surprise he spends his off duty hours doing private investigation on cheating spouses.
That’s when he meets Gracie Harmon. She’s beautiful, funny, and oh so, sweet, but yet, there’s something guarded about her actions. He can’t believe her fiance thinks she’s a cheater as Cayden puts his seductive skills to the test. As Cayden spends more time with Gracie he learns more about this extraordinary woman. Soon Gracie reveals her life is in danger, and Cayden needs to protect the woman who touches something inside him he thought was long dead. But is willing to let go of the past to finally find happiness with Gracie? Wonderful, quick romantic novella. I voluntarily received and reviewed an advance review copy of this book.
There’s nothing like a Julie Kenner book to set my new year off to a great start, and what a book this is! Pretty Little Player is the second book in the Blackwell Lyon series, which is Cayden and Gracie’s story. Nothing makes my blood boil more than a cheating spouse, which makes it worse when it happens to one of our servicemen when they come home to surprise their spouse and find them in bed with another man, arrrggggg! So needless to say this book had me from page one. Cayden ends up making it part of his mission in life with Blackwell Lyon Security to find cheating spouses when the suspecting spouse seeks his services out, that’s how Cayden and Gracie end up meeting. I won’t get into the specifics of the story, I hate spoilers, but this book really has it all, suspense, hot and heavy love scenes, heartwarming moments, and an awesome ending. Loved Cayden and Gracie’s characters, they pull you in and don’t let go until the very last page. This book is definitely worth the read! Can’t wait to see how Connor and Kerrie’s story turns out!

Gracie is attracted to the sexy man who keeps showing up in her life. She trusts him and turns to him when scary things start happening. But when secrets are revealed her trust is broken and Cayden will do whatever it takes the earn it back and keep her safe. This is a fast paced, suspenseful, and sexy romance, and I can’t wait for more from the men of Blackwell Lyon Security!

This is a great short story. I can’t wait for more stories about the Blackwell Lyon team!
As always J Kenner never disappoints! I love her characters and those stories. I love how they all at some point connect. This is Grace and Cayden story.
I enjoyed these two! He had his heart broken and truly never moved passed his hurt! And here comes Grace that changes it all for him!
They both fall for each other and I loved how everything between starts and ends. Truly this was a sweet love story! Can’t wait to see what’s to come in this series. Loved them all!
This second story in the Blackwell-Lyon series was fun, sexy, fast paced, and filled with tension. I really enjoyed the suspense angle of the book. It was interesting and had some twists that I hadn’t really expected. It kept me reading and wanting to know how things would work out. Cayden Lyon is a private investigator. He is very at what he does, involving seduction and adultery cases. He is highly motivated for personal reasons. Gracie Harmon is his latest subject. Her case should a quick, simple investigation but ends up becoming much more. Gracie is nothing like what he expected.
The author did a great job making me care about the characters. There was nice romantic development. I might have liked a little more emotional appeal though. That said, the story itself was riveting. Cayden was fiercely protective of Gracie, I really loved his protectiveness. And she really needed it.
Each book in this series features a new couple, so they can be read as standalones.

Really enjoyed their story. A really great read!
Another thrilling page turner by J Kenner. I loved this book and can not wait to read Conner’s story.
I really like that she made Gracie to be a “plus size” model. Really made me enjoy it as a lot of times, it seems like the lead female is made out to be the perfect size 2.
I liked how she portayed Caydon and his story. Was very realistic. I love all her books. Keep up the good work.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Cayden takes on a new client – a client who needs to know if his fiancé is cheating. Cayden has been burn by his ex-wife and has trust issues with women, so he loves the jobs trying to catch the cheating partner. As he follows and gets to learn more about Gracie his client’s fiancé it’s one surprise after another. Pretty Little Player is a quick read that turns this ex-military man inside out!
From the first time Cayden laid eyes on Gracie, I knew she would be the one that brought his walls tumbling down. I loved watching these two fall for each other. The mystery in this one and how the story evolved, I absolutely loved! Sometimes things aren’t what they seem and I loved that Cayden’s walls came down when he let Gracie in. Great read!
I’m loving the Blackwell-Lyon security firm!
Pretty Little Player finds us back in the world of security and private investigation. Cayden is a partner in the security firm and finds his next job is the sexy-but-possibly cheating on her fiancé Gracie. She may be a job, but is there more to the story, or is the intense chemistry between them getting in the way? I loved the story, it had a pinch of suspense, a lot of steam, and amazing characters. Pretty Little Player is one you don’t want to miss!
Pretty Little Player by J. Kenner is book two in her Blackwell-Lyon Security series. Starring Cayden Lyons, who has been burned by love after his wife cheated on him. Now he does private investigation where he catches two-timing women in the act.
When asked by a fiancé to investigate his girlfriend of cheating, Cayden takes the job and soon finds himself investigating, model Gracie Harmon. However, the case is completely turned sideways when he realizes Gracie needs protection.
I enjoyed the chemistry and flirtiness between Cayden and Gracie. I also liked the air of mystery and suspense with Gracie’s stalker and how it added another element to the story.
Overall this was a fun read with twists and turns that make it even more exciting. I very much recommend.

4 Who’s Really In Danger Stars!!!
I’m loving the men from Blackwell-Lyon Security. In this book we get Cayden Lyon and he’s one sexy man that definitely doesn’t believe in true love….until he meets Gracie!
Gracie is a young woman that Cayden has been hired to follow and so what begins as a somewhat routine assignment for their firm takes a hard right turn when certain things come to light… the least of which is his burning attraction to this beautiful woman. The only problem with this is that he’s been burned once so Cayden isn’t sure if he can trust his heart in this situation.
I loved every single page of this book. Ms. Kenner has given us a story that’s sweet, sexy and suspenseful. I was glued to the pages as the story unfolds and things come to light that changes everything for our H/h!
I’m ready for Connor’s story because it’s going to be a doozy!!!
At the very beginning of this book I read one line that made me go, “this is going to be a good one!” Not everything is how it looks, and that’s the case with Pretty Little Player. I was hooked from the start and didn’t want to put it down. These two had great chemistry from the first time they meet. It was a fun read with some suspense thrown in. I can’t wait for the next book in this series!
I was hooked from the beginning and couldn’t put this one down! Cayden has trust issues and they he doesn’t know what to do when he finds himself falling for Gracie who he is hired to follow because her fiance wants proof she is cheating. What is he to do when she turns up in his office and wants to hire him because she has a stalker! Turns out he was hired to follow her by her stalker. Oh, such a tangled web. Now he is protecting and falling and oh so jealous and not sure what to do with all those possessive feelings. This may have been a short and sexy read but it was definitely enjoyable and just right. Now to get Connor’s story!
