I don’t just have the package: looks, stamina, and a smile that makes girls weak at the knees, I am the package. My name is Nicholas Holt—or “The Player” to those who know me best. I’m the man your mother warned you about. The self-described playboy with no intentions to settle down. I party hard, play hard, and the wall around my heart is the hardest of them all. But like all good tales, a story … good tales, a story can’t unfold without the gut-twisting hairpins we call life. A pretty blonde with dazzling blue eyes was one terrifying dip I never saw coming. Against screaming protests, she forced my cart off the tracks. Her name is Jenni—or “The Player Slayer” as I refer to her. With a killer smile, and an ability to deflect my wooing charm, will she have what it takes to bring this player to his knees? Or will lies, deception, and a deranged stalker cause one too many kinks in the craziest ride of all—the ride of love?
Although this is book four in the Perception Series, it can be read as a standalone! It’s recommended for those over the age of eighteen.

I loved this book with its well developed characters whose chemistry can be felt throughout the pages. The storyline was one I got into immediately and I’d not put down until I finished it.

I loved this phenomenal book! Taming Nick is the third book in Shandi Boyes’ Perception series. It tells the story of Nicolas (AKA The Player) and Jenni (AKA The Player Slayer) who brings him to his knees. I highly recommend this well written book which has a realistic plot, great characters, drama, stalking, emotional ups and downs, unexpected twists, and lots of sizzling chemistry.

This was a great read. Nick so impetuous, needed someone to found him. Glad he found Jessi.
Taming Nick…
Nick the self-proclaimed ‘player’ who has no compunction on moving in on his bandmates missus. Who loves you and leaves you, and has an ego the size of a house. The one who draws us in, despite knowing what he is like. Or at least, we think we know what he’s like.
Jenni, down to earth, has her head on right and a firm grip on reality. Who has already been hurt once by a ‘player’ and recognizes Nick for what he is.
A simple straight forward, rock star boy meets girl story, one would think.
But this story is full of twists. Jenni’s life is not what it seems, Nick turns out to be the one with strong emotional feelings. To top it all off, Nick also has a psycho stalker.
This story is so much more than ‘bad boy meets the good girl’ and the twists and surprises make this another great read in this series.
Although the third in a series, it can be read as a stand-alone.
Nick is a player. Everyone knows it and he makes no excuses. Jenny has already been played so she knows Nick is not good for her. He is persistent and she is resistant. Everyone warns her away. She sees a side of Nick that he rarely shows anyone else. The more she seethe more she wants. The chemistry is off the charts. When they finally get together other forces keep trying to pull them apart. A story of angst and drama that ends in a HEA. Good character growth and lovable characters.

Great story.
This is the 3rd book in this set & loved it. This story about Nick had me hooked again from the start but I didn’t really like Nick at the beginning but as it carried on & with Jenny I saw a different side to him that I grew to love.

This exceptionally-written standalone fourth book Perception Series, is a great book. It is a much longer book than a lot of series books than I have read lately, but so worth the read.This amazing story is a long book but does not feel like it and flows really well and time passes quickly.This book is relatable due to the time it covers. This story shows a couples’s struggles and them overcoming those. a must read.

Will he give up his “player” ways for the beautiful Player Slayer
Shandi Boyes did a really good job of writing a wonderful book. Nick is a character that could have come off an really unlikeable but instead I found myself liking him despite what a player/man-whore his is. He reminds me of the Grinch in that he has a heart but it is just two sizes to small. That is until he meets the woman that helps it grow – Jenni. Jenni is sweet but she is not going to fall for Nick’s easy charm and panty melting talents, as she has been played once to often before. Instead she tries to keep her distance and her defenses up against him. They may have a lot of chemistry between them but it is going to take some serious work. It doesn’t happen in an instant or even overnight but it takes time for these two and there are a lot of bumps along the way but it is so worth it in the end.
I received a free ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.

3 1/2 Stars
Nick was a total player and unlikeable with rules he followed as he used women like tissue paper. His exploits were as distasteful as his internal dialogue and reasoning when it came to women. The opening scene as he was caught cheating with Slater’s fiancée was kind of sickening.
Jenni was the woman who stood above all the others as Nick broke his rules for her and only her. His past came up to haunt him again and again and the consequences of his horrible mistreatments of women bring danger to Jenni and their baby.
While I liked the way his love for her transformed him, I felt for Jenni as she had to put up a lot because of his past actions.
A bit of drama with his exes, but it all turned out at the end. I enjoyed the multiple POVs. Megan’s POV was a nice touch in getting into her twisted mind.

Oh boy! This is the 3rd installment of the new Perception Series and it was wonderful!! Nick is Isaac’s younger brother and boy is he something.
He gets into the band Rise Up due to his talent but that’s because Noah the lead singer saw that special something in him. His band mates Slater and Marcus, not so much for his personality! Then he meets Jenni, Emily’s best friend. Emily being Noah’s other half. Everyone warns Jenni how
much Nick is a player. But as they say, the heart wants what it wants! Enjoy all the big feels in this book! There is such a wave of them, you will be pulled deeper and deeper into their lives.
Perception book3 Taming Nick is an outstanding and beautifully written heartwarming emotional story about a known player man whore Nicolas Holt. The Rock band Rise Up maybe hitting the music charts. But it’s what’s going on behind the scenes that have you captivated by their struggles and enjoying the lives of the band. Jenni knows she needs to keep her guard up around Nick she knows he is a player and can’t risk her heart again being shattered by another player. Nick’s older brother Issac makes it clear to his brother Nick that he is always there for him. The stalker the past the present and the future.Its wonderful to read about the other couples.
