Playmaker by Deanna Faison
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I adored this book from beginning to end, it had me giggling kicking my feet and crying in the same chapter. The chemistry between Maddie and Cameron was captivating, and I especially enjoyed the flashbacks to their younger years. The book struck a perfect balance between plot and spice, and the way the characters were written made it easy to fall in love with them. I also found myself falling in love with Deanna's writing, and thanks to Netgalley, I'm now eager to read her other books. Many thanks to Deanna Faison, Netgalley, and Wattpad WEEBTOON for this ARC!

Thank you to Deanna Faison, NetGalley, and Wattpad WEBTOON for this advanced readers copy in exchange for my honest review.

“Playmaker” by Deanna Faison is an irresistible blend of steamy sports romance and the forbidden brother’s best friend trope. What was supposed to be a fling for spring break quickly turns into something more for Maddie and Cameron, rekindling Maddie’s unrequited childhood crush on Cameron, now a hot NFL prospect and total player. Their chemistry is electric, and their sneaky, behind-the-scenes relationship keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Set in the beautiful backdrop of Arizona, which I particularly enjoyed as a local, the story captures the thrill of forbidden love and the challenges of navigating feelings in a world of high stakes and family expectations. Maddie’s overprotective brother, who is also Cameron’s best friend, adds an exciting layer of tension and conflict to the story.

Through a satisfying Dual POV, Faison skillfully develops the characters, making their journey from a casual spring break fling to a potentially serious relationship both engaging and emotionally satisfying.

“Playmaker” is the perfect college romance—young, steamy, and full of ambition. It’s based on the smash Webnovel “MY BROTHER’S BEST FRIEND” and is perfect for fans of Hannah Grace’s “Icebreaker,” Annie Crown’s “Night Shift,” and Tessa Bailey’s spicy rom-coms. This BookTok sensation delivers all the heat, heart, and drama you could want in a college sports romance. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a fun and spicy story that’s a breeze to read.
