Release Date: February 15
The Player Hater by Sara Ney is now available!
I would do anything for my best friend.
Well. Almost anything.
When she begs me to come on a weekend getaway so I can bond with her new boyfriend, I can’t say no—no matter how badly I want to. After all, who will keep an eye on the guy; he’s your stereotypical, professional football player (emphasis on PLAYER) and I don’t trust him with my friends heart.
Worse? He has the nerve to bring his single best friend Davis on the trip, too. Davis is too handsome, so funny and smart he can’t possibly be human. Grandma’s, babies and kittens all fall for his smile.
In fact, everyone adores but me **narrows eyes** What’s he hiding?
I refuse to fall for his act; at some point he’ll will drop the Good Guy act and show his true colors: he’s a player, too. He must be.
You know the saying: if he seems too good to be true, he probably is.
Review:
3.25-3.5 stars

This was a pretty cute book. This is Juliet and Davis's story. Juliet's best friend, Mia, is dating an NFL player. Mia wants Juliet to get to know her boyfriend, but she is afraid he is just a manwhore and is playing her friend. So Mia invites her on a weekend trip to get to know him and his best friend, Davis, comes along. The trip turns out to be a camping trip, which is not Juliet's cup of tea. While Mia is all coupled up, Juliet has no one to hang out with but Davis, who is a former NFL player himself. She soon can see that she has misjudged him and they start to like each other.
I liked this story. I wasn't sure at first if I would like Juliet. She comes off as judgemental at first, but she did get better as the book went on. She and Davis were a cute couple. I didn't feel a lot of chemistry between them, but they seemed like they were both ready to settle down and found a nice person in each other to do that with. Still I didn't feel any sparks or that they would be heartbroken without each other. Both were a little awkward and there were a few too many random internal thoughts that took me out of the story somewhat. While I enjoyed this book, it felt a little short and unfinished. The couple decides to start dating at the end of the book and I prefer a more firm relationship to be established by that point. Still, while I did think the book overall was a little slow moving, there are some cute moments in there and I was glad that Juliet and Davis were happy together.
Overall, I liked Juliet and Davis and was glad they found each other to be happy with, even if this was not my favorite Sara Ney book. I am still a fan though and I look forward to reading more from her in the future.
