For like three weeks.” Tennis player Isaac Hudson isn’t gay, but when a photograph of him kissing another man makes its way to social media, he doesn’t have the heart to correct the speculation and disappoint all the people it means so much to. Still recovering from a shoulder injury, he decides to play the part and enlists the help of his childhood best friend to be his temporary boyfriend. Julian has been in love with Isaac since they were kids. Knowing his friend was off-limits helped him keep his feelings hidden, but now that he’s supposed to pretend to date him… Well, things are getting a little tricky in the feelings department. After a few surprisingly intimate dates, it becomes obvious that Isaac is less interested in faking it and more interested in trying it. Throw in a few steamy moments, and soon enough, Isaac finds himself falling into bed with his best friend. But can Isaac figure out his feelings in time to see what’s right in front of him? Or will his player past come back to haunt him and take away his best chance at happiness? Player is a stand-alone gay romance with a HEA and no cliffhangers. It does, however, contain: boys kissing, more than one tennis-related injury, the sexy application of various ointments, a Lego car, explicit sex scenes, a heart-shaped tennis trophy, and true love conquering all. Review: Great tale - Love conquers all Julian got his game set and match and Isaac found his real self and love of his life. So glad they got their happy ever after despite Adrianna's attempt to derail it. Review: Loved it! - It's a familiar trope to those who read m/m books; a guy finds himself in a situation where pretending he's not straight could be beneficial, asks his gay friend to play along, then realises he's really NOT as straight as he thought he was. Sean Ashcroft has even written it before, but that doesn't take anything away from this book. I freely admit I love their writing style, the depth they puts into their characters, and the emotions leaping off the page. This is a great example of not just a familiar trope, but of Sean's work in general, and I would absolutely recommend this book, and this author, to any m/m fans out there. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 853,273 in Kindle Store ( See Top 100 in Kindle Store ) 10,908 in Gay Fiction 24,680 in Gay Romance (Kindle Store) 285,519 in Romance (Books) | ## Images ![Player - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91a8v1f5DqL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tale *by K***R on 31 March 2023* Love conquers all Julian got his game set and match and Isaac found his real self and love of his life.
