Play for Your Love

by AshleyNicole

In order to find love, you have to take a chance. You have to open yourself up to the possibility of being hurt. You have to expose yourself in a way that you usually wouldn’t; allow others to see vulnerabilities that you try to hide.
Journalist Aria Smith tried that three years ago and it ended in disaster. Now, she’s just trying to focus on moving up the ladder in her career. She’s just been handed the most coveted interview in sports writing, so it looks like she’s well on her way.
Basketball star Tory Barker is fresh off of a championship season and is in high demand right now. He’s riding high off of his success, avoiding drama as he does so. His usually introverted and stress free lifestyle is upset when he comes face to face with Aria. She’s everything he never knew he wanted and everything he plans to get.
Aria’s not sure she’s ready for the likes of Tory. Yes, he’s a sweetheart. Yes, he’s easy to talk. However, living life in the limelight was never her dream. Nor, was dating a basketball player. She’s throwing up strong blocks every time he makes a move. Tory knows she’s worth it and is more than ready to play for her love. Can he win is the question…

About the author

I'm just a girl in love with literature. My love affair with romance novels started with I was 13 and has flourished into an obsession. I've always been a writer. Even when I was a little girl, I always had a pen and a notebook poised to let something out. You Make Me Better is my first project that will be published and I am STOKED. My goal is to write stories surrounding positive black love, with a little humor tossed in.

I loved listening to Tory and Aria's friendship/love story. It kept me interested.

Yay! Another author I will have to read more of. Absolutely loved Tory, he was just right. Not too hard (cuz I love me so alpha). Not too soft (cuz I can't stand a weak man or woman for that matter). Aria was not that, she had some issues but with some TLC (Tory's loving care) she was put right back to rights. There are a few cons grammar, abrupt ending, and a tiny cliff hanger. I'm finding in books lately I'm not liking all the characters. Yet Maya stole my heart, so adorable I couldn't get over her need for Uncle. Hell after reading this book you'll have a 'need' for Uncle too! Looking to lose yourself for a bit then dive right here.
