Playing Dirty #4
Eligible Receivers
When a newly single girl like me decides to play the field, what’s better than one big, sexy, rough-and-tumble professional football player?
How about two of them?
Cameron and Nixon have been best friends for years, and now I’ve found myself in the middle of them.
Literally.
The two cocky wide receivers compete over everything – who kisses me better, who can last longer, who has the biggest…well, you get the point.
At first, it’s all fun and games, until I start to fall for both of them. Hard.
But I’m just not the type of girl who sleeps with two men at the same time.
I would rather walk away from both rather than end up hurting one of them.
The problem is, I’m pretty sure that decision is out of my hands.

Wow! This is one hot, Hot, HOT read!!!
When Nix and Cameron’s betting ways win them Kelsey for the night, neither one of them is the loser. They’re so used to betting each other over everything and competing against each other during work and play that it automatically extends into their new relationship with Kelsey.
Kelsey doesn’t trust football players and she’s given up on the idea of marriage. Her past has left her somewhat scarred. She knows that it’s only a matter of time before Nix and Cameron will break things off with her and move on to a new plaything.
This covers a variety of issues that those in such a relationship might face. Insecurities, jealousy, anger. The actual realization of the lifestyle was smoothed over at the end but before that point, the author allows the reader to experience all the angst these characters felt.
I didn’t realize going into this book that this was going to be a ménage, of which I’m not a big fan. However, once this story started moving, I was totally invested in where it was going to end. I found it to be completely entertaining and totally drool worthy. Ms. Hart might have changed my mind about the benefits of a threesome. I’m sure it’s going to take a bit more research before I can unequivocally say for sure.
This is an honest review of an advanced copy I requested from the author.

One last book in the Playing Dirty series, which makes me sad. The whole series was great fun! And I love Lane Hart books, so even though a MFM isn’t my first choice, I had to grab an advance copy when I had the chance, just to see what Ms. Hart did with this trope. I’ve read over a dozen MFM books in the past (yeah, some of you are laughing at me since that’s nothing compared to the way you devour them) but this one was very different. Usually it’s two guys who share everything and are looking for the one woman who is the perfect match for them that they can worship and adore. Not so with Nix and Cam.
These two teammates and best friends are competitive, with a capital “C,” and they constantly bet each other on every little thing. The whole thing with Kelsey starts of with them each vying for her attention so they can get with her alone (but at least they had the decency to not place a bet on her). Well, it doesn’t quite work out that way, and Kelsey is so sweet she refuses to choose so there will be no winner or loser.
These characters were funny and endearing and the storyline was clever, humorous and entertaining. While I never got the impression of a deep, abiding, soul-crushing love that some of these romances have, this fun, lighthearted romance was a great read that I definitely recommend.

Eligible Receivers by Lane Hart a five-star read that will blow your mind and your heart. This is the forth book in the Playing Dirty sports romance series. Wow what a read, I may be bias as I am a huge Lane Hart fam, but this was amazing, I don’t normally enjoy thurple stories, I always feel like one person gets left out, but this was amazing, the way they grow and develop and the way we see so much more to each character as they are brought out by the other two was sublime. You normally only get to see he side your partner brings out, but with two you get more sides, it made the story so much deeper and more involved, it was hotter than hell but had some amazing heart to it as well. I don’t want to reveal too much of the story more than you get in the blurb but Cameron Hines, Nixon Lopes and Kelsey Tyler all stole my heart in one way or another and I really don’t care. They all brought something to the story, and all I want to say is thank you lane Hart for being an amazing writer.

I absolutely love reading this authors sports romances!! She does an amazing job writing them! This one is no different. A great read that definitely packs the heat!! I’ve read quite a few ménage stories, and while I enjoyed them, none of them were as well written as I felt this one was. Kelsey, Cameron, and Nix didn’t necessarily go looking for this type of relationship and had to figure out, together, how or if they could make it work. Loved the characters and the storyline!!
A fantastic read from an author that I really enjoy reading!!
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

This is steamy, romantic and fun. Cam and Nix are both extremely competitive, amusing, intense, captivating and likable. Kelsey is sweet, shy, caring and a bit stubborn. The dynamics between them are romantic, amusing and entertaining. It's a thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining story that I couldn't put down.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author. This is my honest and voluntary opinion of it.

This was a free bonus book. Nice enough, with good sex scenes. But the competition between the guys became tiresome.
March 6, 2022
Well, as other reviewers have already pointed out, the sex scenes in this book are out of this world juicy! 😛
But the main reason I gave this 5/5 is because things made sense and weren't over the top or ridiculous (which is not always the case with MFM stories - I've done my 'research' 😆). Seriously speaking, as far as MFM stories go, this is in a class of its own!
Leaving the hot factor aside, this book actually has great main characters that make the reading so much more enjoyable. Both Cam and Nix are funny and dedicated but they also have their own personalities (which cannot be said about male characters in other MFM books!🙄). They both have different dynamics with Kelsey that adds up layers to this relationship. It makes perfect sense that she can't choose one or the other - the two actually complement each other! Kelsey is this sweet, slightly insecure, selfless character. She wasn't too much of a prude but not a hussy either (again - not always the case with other MFM stories!!). Her strength comes from her making peace with who she is and what she wants at the end of the book.
Lane Hart, if you're reading this, could you please revisit these three at some point? It would be great to see them again! Can you imagine the bickering between Cam and Nix if Kelsey ends up pregnant?! 🤣

Hot is the name of the game, especially when it comes to these two eligible receivers. Nixon and Cameron are two of the hottest and most definitely single Football players in the US, best friends, they compete against each other in every way and are (mostly) good natured about it. Neither are looking for love or commitment, it's just not in their makeup, just a quick hookup and move on. They find themselves at a Christmas party and the only single woman there is their captains nanny, totally off limits, but what starts as a fun bet turns out in a way neither of them ever expected!
Kelsey is the gentle, beautiful, sweet natured woman in question. She played a huge part in Lathan's story in the previous book Delay of Game and I loved her in it, so I was happy to hear she was getting her book. I'm sure she never imagined two gorgeous men would both be fighting over her or that she'd be unable and unwilling to choose, so can the men work together against all the odds and win her trust and her heart? It's all or nothing.
A sweet and steamy story, I loved the camaraderie and the way Nix and Cam had to grow up fast and step up in order to achieve what they wanted in life and love. This was an easy to read, sexy and heartfelt story and I'm looking forward to what comes next from Lane Hart
Thanks to the author for approving my arc request

I give 5 massive stars to Eligible Receivers ( A Playing Dirty Sports Romance Book 4) written by Lane Hart.
These can be read as a standalone but I always say to experience the best of the author and the series best to read in order.
This lovely lady never fails to have me laughing, crying or screaming at my kindle or just so frustrated that another book has ended!!! Never has any of her books started to drag, she always finds a new twist and turn to keep you glued to the pages.
BRILLIANT. This story as most of Lane Hart books is full of off the charts sex Scenes. I've followed Cam and Nixon friendship from some of the other books when they were mentioned and always wondered how far there friendship would go, well know I know. And never did I imagine the heroine who captured there hearts would be the lady it turned into. Utterly brilliant play!!!

Players meet their match
Smoking hot!!! Sweet, shy Kelsey found herself in a predicament when two friends decide she is the woman they want for the night. Nix and Cameron are known playboys that do not do relationships. They however were getting tired of that scene. Which is where Kelsey comes into play. What started off as a good natured bet of who can get the girl first turned into a relationship with the three of them. This is an adult book and is graphic, but within the realm of most adult books. For me I felt like there was very little time spent on getting to know each other while professing they wanted more. While the push and pull was entertaining, what did they really know about Kelsey? What did she want?

A short and super steamy menage romance between two footballer players and a newly single girl (who happens to be their teammate's employee). The only menage romances I've read in the past are when all three characters are romantically involved, and I think I do prefer that to the situation here, where Cameron and Nixon were only friends and not interested in each other romantically. That, and the fact that the characters were kind of basic/a little forgettable are the only reasons I'm giving this 4 stars rather than 5, but otherwise I really enjoyed this and it was the perfect steamy palate cleanser between longer, more angsty reads.

A good last book
So, I knew this series was coming to an end, but I didn't expect it to wrap up like this. But really, how could it not?
This was both predictable and surprising. It was nice to see Kelsey find herself benefitting for once, instead of giving of herself for most of the series.
I enjoyed seeing the steamy chemistry between these characters and their journey to their HEA. This was quite a page turner and I am sad to be at the end of the series.
Please read this story in the correct reading order to get the most from the story and characters.
I recommend reading this series and her numerous other creative and addictive stories and series.

THEY SAY 2 IS A COMPANY 3 IS A CROWD. BUT NOT FOR THESE
I had Eligible Recievers from preorder but as I had other novels I had to read I forgot about this amazing series
Here we have Kelsey from Lathan's book who thought she was going to have this unexpected amazing 1 night Stand on the following new year's party at Cap of The Wildcats Quinton and Callie.
And Kelsey wants to have an exciting carefree time, not expecting that the Wide Recievers Cameron and Nixon two womanising men whom NEVER SLEEP WITH THE SAME WOMAN MORE THAN ONCE wanting a night with her but not realising how hot and HOW THEY'RE NOT WANTING TO LET EACH OTHER GO.
Beautiful love story

Cam & Nixon & Kelsey's Story
The final book in the series involves the team' two top wide receivers, Nixon Lopez and Cameron Hines, and the sweet college student who has been a nanny for Quinton's baby son and who agreed to a fake marriage to help Lathan in book three, Kelsey Tyler.
The author takes the potential issues with a threesome rather lightly, especially in the last chapter. Cameron's career is also treated in a cavalier manner. Unless his arm didn't heal properly, the Wildcats would have at least given him a chance in training camp.
The book is still an interesting, sexually explicit read.

Eligible Receivers by Lane Hart is a very good read. Book is very hot and super sexy. It is well written and the characters are likable. An interesting story about these two best friends that compete over everything. When their competitiveness leads them into competing over Kelsey. Everyone of these characters has their own baggage that they are struggling with and this adds complexity to the book. Who will win? Who will lose? And is heartbreak in everyone's future? I'm voluntarily posting a review after reading an ARC copy of this book.

Loved this hot read
She has done it again with another great book. I feel like these characters are totally relatable and I like how each has something different highlighted about their personalities. Nixon and Cameron are best friends on the same professional football team. They are exactly like you would expect them to be. Then we have Kelsey who I would call your average girl. I like the dynamic between the three of these characters it made for a good read. I could really feel for them.

The whole series has been disrespectful of women but this one takes the cake.
Cam's dad has a habit of throwing Cam parties in high school and college, and because he's such a nice guy he'll rescue drunk girls from having sex with their schoolmates. How? By having sex with them himself, and nobody does anything about it!
And btw, polyamory does not equal cheating. Those are two completely different things!

Sad to see the series end
This series was so good. I am sad that this is the end of it. Seeing Kelsey get her happy ending was a great way to end the series. I loved gettibg to know Cam and Nix better. Best friends in love with the same girl usually ends in turmoil but not in this case. Love love loved this book

Sports romance
I loved the way Kelsey was so shy and sweet but was able to bring the big bad ballers to their knees. They competed for everything but never realized they were so close until she came into their lives. Grab a copy its a great book.

Great story
I loved this story! It was great to finally get Kelsey's story. I loved the way that it was written and getting to know Cam and Nix better. The story is explicit and M/F/M, no m/m going on. Sad to see the series end as I really enjoyed it!

Steamy!
A super steamy menage story. Cameron and Nixon are best friends who love to be competitive. That competition ramps up to something more with shy, sweet Kelsey. A sweet read.

Really liked the dynamics between all 3 main characters. All 3 were very likeable and were very positive characters. Also, loved the steamy sexy scenes. I have read this author's books before And have always enjoyed them. Will be reading more from this author.

Wow wow wow. First time reading MFM romance and oh my god! It was perfect! The smut was so good. The character development of the boys was so well wrote, showing that people do change for the right person and that even renowned players can change their behaviours and become lover boys. 5 stars
