Hands down, my favorite thing in the world is to score. Touchdowns.
Dont let the fact that Im the leading pick in the Most Valuable Playboy charity auction fool you. These days, Im only a player on the field. Ive kept my pants zipped all season long -- and it has been long -- because nothings more important than leading my team to victory every week. Except maybe escaping from the team owners recently-widowed and handsy-as-hell sister whos dead set on winning more than a date with me.
Enter Violet and a well-placed Hail Mary.
Shes my best friends sister with a smile as sweet as cherry pie and a mind that runs quicker than the 40-yard-dash. After Violet saves the day with the highest bid, I dont even give her a two-minute warning before I kiss her in front of the whole crowd and then announce that shes my girlfriend. Which would be fine except my agent tells me we have to keep up the act while hes negotiating my contract. Violet takes one for the team and pretends to be mine, but our boyfriend-girlfriend scrimmage quickly turns into a full contact sport, and I want it to go into overtime. The problem is -- Ive been riding the bench for years.
How can a guy like me, who finally has a chance to prove his worth on the field, convince the girl shes most valuable to his heart?
MOST VALUABLE PLAYBOY is a brand new standalone sports romance written in the guys POV!

My Thoughts
Ive been obsessed with Lauren Blakelys books since I read Big Rock early this year needing her stories more and more. Today, Im beyond happy to share my thoughts on her latest work, MOST VALUABLE PLAYBOY. I just love this book so much, I was hooked from the very beginning and I finished it with the biggest of the smiles.
Most Valuable Playboy tells the story of Cooper, the newest quarterback of the Renegade of San Francisco, who has been in the bank for three seasons while the previous quarterback became a legend, so he has a lot of pressure to prove everybody that he can lead the team. However, through all those years theres one field where he excels at: being the most valuable playboy at the Renegade annual charity auction. When the woman he wants to avoid the most made the biggest bid on him, his best friends sister, Violet, helped him to get out that mess. But they didnt count with the repercussions of that move and find themselves pretending to be in a relation to save both, his pending contract with the Renegade and her own beauty salon.
Lauren Blakely has this great ability to captivate the reader since the first page, I guess its because she uses to write in the male POV, which she always turn it into something hilarious to read. Ms. Blakelys writing style is marvelous, she can write every kind of story and I would read about it because I know it would be perfect, sexy, sweet, witty and fun. This book was not the exception and like I said reading from Coopers perspective is so funny, but also so sweet because hes such a good guy.
I cant be happier with the characters; lead and secondary characters were so perfect, and I cant wait to read the next book featuring the rest of the Renegade teammates because it will be an entertaining ride. I was also very excited to read about the football since I dont often pick sports romance but Im now a fan of the Renegade; it was funny because through the reading I was rooting for them to advance to the playoff, I was a total fangirl. The perfect book to read now that the season just starts (next Thursday folks).
Overall, this book is another wonderful story by Lauren Blakely. She can give us the most perfect, witty, sexy, and sweet love story. Honestly, for me, this has been one of the best romance I read this year.

Excerpt
Always a bridesmaid.
No Action Armstrong.
Ball Cap Boy.
Mr. Clean.
The Unused Insurance Plan.
Oh wait. Heres one more, a personal fave.
Best Butt in the NFL.
Those are just some of the nicknames Ive been given in the last few years. They dont bug me. Not one bit. Theyve all been true, especially that last one. You should see my ass. You can bounce a quarter off my cheeks.
Heres the thing—when you spend the first three years of your career warming the bench for the best player in the league, you cant get a chip on your shoulder. You have to stay sharp and be ready for that moment when you swap out a ball cap for a helmet and get your pants dirty.
My time has finally come this season, and so far, were winning.
But tonight isnt about what happens between the opening kickoff and the end of the fourth quarter.
Tonight is about the one game Ive always dominated.
For the last few years, Ive been the highest ticket item in the players annual charity auction, and I cant help enjoying that. Because the guy Ive backed up has been called a lot of things—a legend, the greatest ever, a titan of the game—but the one I most enjoy is “second-best-looking quarterback on the Renegades.”
Hey, I didnt give him that name. The media did, deciding the dude who play second-string—me—had a prettier face. Before this season, Id seen a grand total of 120 minutes of playing time in my first three years, but Ive taken home the top honors in the charity auction, where some of the loveliest ladies come to bid on the players they want to take out for a night on the town.
Ah, the memories of those dates have warmed my heart, and other parts, on the sidelines when the games were dull. Evenings in limos, testing the strength of the leather backseat, nights in hotels that lasted way past dawn, mutually and blissfully ignoring the no physical contact between the winner and the player rule.
Yeah, Ive enjoyed the fuck out of being paraded on stage in front of hundreds of women, their slender arms lifted in the air, raising their bids higher on me than all the other guys. Its been my one chance to shine, even to stand out.
Those days are behind me, though, now that Im finally leading the team down the field every single Sunday. I still expect to rake in top dollar for the charity I gladly support, but this time, I wont be living it up and letting loose after hours. I have a reputation to protect, and a season on the line.
The trouble is, the woman who has her eyes on me at the Most Valuable Playboy charity auction wants my full enchilada, and its not on the menu anymore.
Guess that means its time to call an audible on the line of scrimmage.
