Review Tour: Park Avenue Player by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland

Shelly's Book Corner received a review copy from Author and voluntarily provided an honest review. This does not affect the opinion of the book or the content of the review.

It started out like any normal day.

Then the fender bender happened.

The guy I collided with drove an expensive car and was drop-dead gorgeous. Too bad he was also a total jerk. We argued over whose fault it was and any other thing that came out of his condescending mouth.

Eventually, the police came and we went our separate ways. The insurance companies would have to figure things out. I had a job interview to get to anyway--one I was excited about.

Though that excitement changed to disappointment the moment the person interviewing me walked in. The guy from the accident.

Whoops!

Yeah, so I didn't get the position.

The problem was, I really wanted it. No, I needed it. Anything to get me out of my current career and back into working with kids.

So, even though Hollis LaCroix was as intimidating as he was devastatingly handsome, I went back to see him and begged for a chance.

To my surprise, he gave me a shot taking care of his troubled niece.

At least my attraction to him wouldn't be able to go anywhere. I wasn't about to jeopardize my job or the strong bond Hailey and I formed.

But resisting the magnetic pull between us wasn't that simple. (Then there was our little underwear game--don't ask.)

We continued to flirt without crossing the line--until it finally happened.

This is the part of the story where we fall in love and live happily ever after, right?

Well, life has a way of throwing some major curveballs.

Ours was one I didn't see coming.

Review

Where do I begin?

Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward have done it again. Every time I read a book written by these ladies I always say that this book topped the last book. Each story just keeps getting better and better and better. The plots are so very refreshing, especially in a genre that can tend to be stale and repetitive. The writing is FLAWLESS, the characters are relatable and you can’t help but be drawn into this story. Hollis and Elodie had a very interesting first meet and I loved the banter between the two. Elodie was sassy, assertive and took no mess. Hollis is a broody but guarded sweetheart (dibs). I must say this story was one for the books and when the other shoe dropped I was stunned. Way to rip out my heart! Keeland and Ward make magic happen each time they write a book together and this time is no different!
