This love story is about Roy and Patience. Roy is a NHL player and he had a stalker. Now he was not able to play because of them. There was PA Patience, who helped him with his PR. All Roy wants is to play hockey. There was something innocent about Patience that peaked Roy’s interest. Can there be romance in the PA Patience and NHL Roy? Will Roy allow himself to love Patience? This is a short story but it is well written and captured my attention throughout the whole story.

The Player: Men of WarHawks Book #2) by Jacquie Biggar
The Player is a hockey-themed story about a player who’s faced with some career drama as a result of an ex-girlfriend and her ongoing obsession with him. To help clean up his reputation a public relations person is hired to work closely with him. It just so happened to be a little spark and connection between the two of them.
There were a lot of different things packed into this story, such as a little crime, suspense, a touch of mental health issues, sports, and romance. This was a quick and easy read, I actually learned some hockey terminology while reading it. I enjoyed this story and only wish there would’ve been a bit more romance involved.
The Player by Jacquie Biggar a winning five-star read. I adored this story, Jacquie Biggar just pulls it out of the bag, this is number two in the Men of WarHawks series and they can be read as stand-alone as I haven’t read the first, but I will be going back to read it. This was a great red, it was funny, sassy and filled with anticipative drama and just made me smile so much. Roy was someone I warmed to, his psycho ex just pushed me to grow to like him and in the end the way he falls for a certain someone just warmed me up. Patience was someone I warmed to immediately and her family were just the icing on the cake. This is one of those stories that will warm you from the inside and make you smile.
It really isn’t fair that men are at a disadvantage when a woman makes a claim of wrong doing. These days they are guilty until proven innocent. This is exactly what happens to hockey star Roy when he breaks up with his ex…who turns out to be a crazy stalker that is unwilling to let him go. Roy ends up needing the help of a PA to give his image a total makeover and in walks the beautiful and quirky Patience Kennedy. What happens when the sparks start flying? The last thing either of them need is an attraction to get in the way of the job.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story and can assure you you’ll love it too! It has a bit of everything. Romance, humor, suspense…you name it! Definitely looking forward to more from this author!

The Player by Jacquie Biggar is the second book in the Men of WarHawks series and definitely worth reading if you love sports related romantic suspense books.
Roy Donaldson is a popular NHL player who needs help improving his PR after dating the wrong woman and Patience is just the right person to help, but things just aren’t that easy when you are dealing with a crazy ex-girlfriend, a sexy PR at your service and a stray cat.
I’m looking forward to reading more books in this wonderful series!
I was given an ARC from the author/publisher. All conclusions are mine and mine alone.
The Player (Men of WarHawks Book 2) by Jacquie Biggar, is the story of Roy who made a bad decision in the female department and now it is affecting his game when this stalker won’t leave him alone. Patience who is a PR person and is hired to make Roy look good after a crazy ex tries to get him back but destroying his game in the process. What neither of them expect is the lengths she will go to and what they find with each other. I really enjoyed this story and would have loved more.
Hockey player, Roy Donaldson, is a beast on ice where he dominates the sport. That all changes when an ex-girlfriend and/or stalker makes trouble for his team, he’s benched. The only way to get back in the game is to accept help from his PA, Patience Kennedy. In this book, the two form an unlikely bond by helping and assisting one another through their most difficult time. The two help one another in unexpected way as this one has your heart skipping a beat as this steamy and suspenseful book hits you to the core.
The Player was a short book/story that I thought would be the same old story of a girl seeing a really cute hockey player then dating but after getting further into it, I loved it. It involved around the world of a hockey player his PR person and a stalker. Roy and Patience are gonna be a great couple and the connection that had from the start, ooo. But overall great read. Can’t wait to read more by Jacquie Biggar.
The Player is the 2nd book in the Men Of WarHawks series by Jacquie Biggar. Each book can be read as a stand-alone. I had not read the first book before reading this although I had read other work by this author. I will be going back to read the first book now as I really enjoyed this one.
Roy Donaldson is a top NHL player whose career has taken a bit of a dive due to a psycho ex-girlfriend spreading lies about him. To help his career, his team bring in sassy PA Patience Kennedy to sort him out. Just what he wants, another woman trying to organise him!
This book flows quickly and keeps you gripped to the story by adding elements of humour, romance, drama etc. The very first meeting between Roy and Patience in the locker room, when he thinks she’s a reported looking for a story, is particularly funny. The book was much more dramatic than I had anticipated. Jacquie Biggar does a fantastic job of writing the dramatic scenes with the psycho ex as everything comes to a dramatic conclusion.
Added to the drama is the attraction between Roy and Patience. She is the total opposite of everything he’s ever looked for in a woman but he can’t help his growing attraction and feelings towards her, some of which adds to the humorous element of the story, particularly when Patience’s older brothers are added to the fun and games.
I’d definitely recommend this book to others.

The Player is the second book in the Men of WarHawks series by Jacquie Biggar. This was such an enjoyable read. It had a little bit of everything- it was fun, sexy, and sweet. Then sprinkled with some drama, suspense, tension, and mystery that had me turning the pages, avidly reading, just to see how everything would play out.
This is such a well woven story about finding love unexpectedly. It is a quick and easy read that hooked me right from the get-go.
When a crazy, stalker ex gets Roy sidelined from his beloved NHL- the only way to get back in the game is to allow sexy PA, Patience Kennedy, to help. With her PR know-how she’ll have him back in the game in no time. Right?
I really did love this story- and as always, I can count on Ms. Biggar to deliver the goods! Definitely well worth the read!
Can’t wait to see what Ms. Biggar has in store for us next!
Thank you, Ms. Biggar!
The Player by Jacquie Biggar was a great short story! I loved the writing, and the starting relationship dynamic between Patience and Roy. Their chemistry flew off the pages! Full of more suspense than I expected, I couldn’t put this story down! I also found some pretty funny humor to be between the pages as well. I loved reading this story, this was the second I’ve read from Biggar and I wasn’t disappointed! I highly recommend and can’t wait to read more from her!
This is the second book in this series and the best yet. This is an author I never hesitate to pick up. Her books are well developed stories that have something for every one and this one is no different. The characters bring the story to life and they pulled me in right from the beginning. Hockey is one of my favorite sports and I love reading about it plus romance is a great plus. In this book we have Roy who is a NFL player that has a stalker that causes some problems for him so he gets benched. It is Patience’s job to restore his image. Patience is determined to fix Roy’s image to get her partnership. What happens with them, you will have to read about. You don’t want to miss it. I highly recommend their story.
Roy Donaldson, defenseman for the Victoria WarHawks Hockey Team, has been stalked in the media by his former girlfriend. She has unfairly trashed his reputation which has caused him to be placed on leave from the team. In addition, he has been assigned a personal assistant, Patience Kennedy, to improve his image to his fans. He unwilling accepts Patience’s help with social media and finds himself oddly attracted to her. Patience has three older brothers and is not shy about standing up to Roy. Patience is the girl next door with a spine of steel ready to defend Roy when his former girlfriend plans further attacks. This second book in the series is an enjoyable and fun read with a touch of danger. I received an advance review copy at no cost and without obligation from the author. (by paytonpuppy)
Great Book! I’m going to read more of Jacquie’s books.
A book filled with sass, suspense, and spice. Roy Donaldson loves hockey but is benched. Enter, Patience Kennedy to help Roy, and all her patience is needed to do her job. The couple’s attraction is hot. Wonderful Characters and a well-developed plot.
Wow, folks, she’s done it again! Another great read by Jacquie Biggar. I will warn that Stalking is happening in this book so if that’s a trigger stay away. Other than that WOW I really enjoy how well Mrs. Biggar builds her characters and the storyline is easy to follow and really pulls you into this book. I look forward to reading many more books by this great Author
