The first time I met Brody Easton was in the men’s locker room.
It was my first interview as a professional sportscaster.
The famed quarterback decided to bare all.
And by all, I don’t mean he told me any of his secrets.
No. The arrogant ass decided to drop his towel, just as I asked the first question. On camera.
The Super Bowl MVP quickly adopted a new hobby—screwing with me.
When I pushed back, he shifted from wanting to screw with me, to wanting to screw me.
But I don’t date players.
And it’s not because I’m one of the few women working in the world of professional football.
I’d date an athlete.
It’s the other kind of player I don’t date.
You know the type. Good looking, strong, cocky, always looking to get laid.
Brody Easton was the ultimate player.
Every woman wanted to be the one to change him.
But the truth was, all he needed was a girl worth changing for.
Turned out, I was that girl.
Simple right?
Let’s face it. It never is.
There’s a story between once upon a time and happily ever after…And this one is ours.

Vi Keeland’s books always draw me in from the beginning. Once I read the blurb on Goodreads and add them on my tbr shelf, I know I’m going to (I must) buy them. The baller was no different!

I had so much FUN reading this book! Brody Easton, a quarterback is one cocky hero. Delilah a sports journalist who has worked really hard to get where she is and won’t let this arrogant womanizer destroy her reputation just for his fun. But Delilah is soon to discover that Brody does not play fair and he is not known for easily giving up. Well guess what neither is Delilah!

The baller was a lovable sports romance with two amazing characters who each had their own story. I loved that Delilah and Brody had such elaborated backgrounds. Finding about their past helped me understand them and their insecurities better which helped me enjoy the book more. This was such an easy read! It’s one of these books that simply flows and then once you have finished and realized that it’s been hours you just know it was simply worth it!

Get ready to fall for the one and only Brody Easton!
