In TALKING DIRTY WITH THE PLAYER, old lovers Judith Ashton
and Caleb Steele are bound to combust with all the chemistry
surrounding them. Judith's whole family has basically
abandoned
her starting with her mother, while Caleb's mother died from
cancer leaving him with an alcoholic father. Caleb and
Judith shared one night of passion when there were both
young, Caleb said some very hurtful and untrue things to
Judith to help her move on which didn't really work. Now A
couple years later both are in her brother's wedding and
they have to face the music of their chemistry.
I really truly loved this book. I have read one other book
by Jackie Ashenden and loved that one, but this one just
blew me away. When TALKING DIRTY WITH THE PLAYER opens
to the first chapter you're like what am I reading because
its starts off a little weird, the characters happen to be
playing laser tag at a wedding and the story just gets
better from there. I absolutely loved both of these
characters, the character of Caleb was so cocky, hot and
just thought he knew what was best for him because of his
past. He basically looked at himself like a player because
that's truly what he thought he was. The character of Judith
was a riot and one to be reckoned with. She knew what she
wanted out of life and from a man. While reading this story
I was like you go girl! Both of these characters come from
similar backgrounds but also very different backgrounds,
both were abandoned by loved ones and had trouble trusting
each other. Caleb didn't think he was enough for Judith.
This story is so perfect and beautifully written. It's
funny, so romantic and had me hanging on to the edge of my
seat. TALKING DIRTY WITH THE PLAYER is such a great read and
I can't wait for more from the author. A really wonderful
story.
Up-and-coming photographer Judith Ashton is pretty sure she
has everything in her life under control. That is, until a
blast from the past comes back to taunt her, in the shape of
Caleb Steele, her older brother's best friend--the same man
who broke her heart eight years ago. Their chemistry is
combustible, but she's been fooled once by this player, and
she's not going there again.
To pro rugby player Caleb, Judith has always been
Kryptonite, but his former playboy lifestyle is the last
thing she wants to be involved in, and he can't blame her.
In the midst of her brother's threats to back off, and the
deal of his career sending him far away from her, he knows
he's playing with fire. And this is one game he's going to
lose.
