A Brit Player

What an amazing book to read. Totally loved it, from the fun banter to adorable friendships to passionate romance, this one had it all. A beautiful book about second chances, re-discovering yourselves and finding the perfect person to spend your life with. A complete swoon-worthy book that makes your heart overwhelmed and so full with happiness that you wish to be a part of the world itself.

Max and Tara were like the sweetest and they handled things maturely although I was sometimes mad at Tara that she should confess everything and get it over with but still they were my favorites. Also, Tara and her friendships with all her girl-friends was so cute!! Definitely a fan of the author .

Thank you Net Galley for providing the Arc.
I just reviewed A Brit Player by Brenda St John Brown. #ABritPlayer #NetGalley

Can Tara tell Max her secret?

Tara’s friends want to get her out of her six-month funk, so they are making architect Tara Kapoor to do her part as a dinner date for charity. Tara thought that some rich guy would bid on her, little did she know it would be soccer player Max Foster. Max was her first boyfriend and he’s the one person that she never wanted to talk to again after she ghosted him when he moved to Spain for his first professional soccer contract.

A Brit Player is a second chance romance where you almost get to redo your first love, but Tara has been keeping a massive secret from Max (you need to read the trigger warning on the blurb) that could cause problems for their reunion. It’s the fourth book in the Castle Calder series but it can be read as a stand-alone.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book from NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Sheer escapism, beautifully written, I will look for more of this author’s work.
My thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for my advance copy of this title. I highly recommend it.

I received an arc of this book in exchange for my honest review. I loved this book. Max is a footballer and he's also Tara's high school love. Tara fell in love with Max when she was 16 and even though it didn't work out back then she never stopped loving him. Fast forward 12 years when they meet up again by accident. The romance was never truly over between these two. This was such a feel food romance full of second chances and flash backs to youth.

💞 How time flies when the book's as good as this one!😊

My first read in the Castle Calder romance series and it was everything I expect from a good romance right from the start. The second chance for teenage sweethearts Max and Tara had all the feels and, though Tara sometimes comes off as a bit cold what with her tendency to ghost guys (!), she's actually acting in what she believes is their best interests. When I learned what she'd gone through when Max's dreams starting to come true I knew this character needed a happy ending after all that disappointment and sorrow.

Tara is an intelligent, successful, professional twenty-something and has some great friends. She's also really down to earth. I also really liked Tara's family and how her Asian cultural background influenced her life, particularly in her teen years. In a universe with its share of screwball comedies and flighty heroines she stands apart.

Highly recommended, well-written romance/women's fiction. It's not a romcom.

Thanks to Victory Editing NetGalley Co-op for sharing a complimentary advance copy of the book; this is my voluntary and honest review.

Such a cute read! The friendship Max and Tara share is adorable, you truly enjoy following their journey of re-discovering themselves and each other thanks to them bumping into each other again 12 years after high school.

This is definitely an “I never stopped loving you.” story and it has all the good feels. 
Tara’s character was a bit annoying at times, but overall this was a sweet romance and I look forward to reading more of the authors books!

This is the 1st book I've read by this author and it won't be the last. I thoroughly enjoyed this book from start to finish! It's an easy read love story when a boy and girl meet at school as teenagers form a friendship that develops into a relationship....life changes for Max and he starts to live his dream so they go there separate ways, however as he leaves Tara is facing a decision of her own? 12 years down the line they meet up again can your 1st love ever be your one love???? Read this book and you will find out!

A fun, fast, HOT read- I devoured this book in a day! I was rooting for Tara and Max from the beginning and I loved following their journey. There were some serious tones, but mostly sweet (and steamy!). I have not read any of the other books in this series but you better believe I'm going to go back and read the others, especially Scarlett and Bradley!
