Tempting the Player (Gamble Brothers #2) by J Lynn
26 November, 2012

Our Review
I really enjoyed this second book in the Gamble Bros Series and Chad is by far my favourite brother. It will take a lot to knock him off the perch that’s and I liked this one better than Tempting the Best Man.
Chad is a naughty but oh so delectable!. He’s an All Star Baseball player for the Nationals and is known for his exploits off the field as well as on the field. He’s the unnameable, bad boy who is in danger of losing his contract with The Nationals if he can’t control his womanizing, partying ways.
His heart is in the city – he’s very close to his brothers and Daniels family and the thought of losing his contract and having to move away from them is something he doesn’t want to eventuate.
Bridget is a sweet, lonely, down to earth girl who doesn’t much of a high opinion of herself and sees herself as quite plain. Bridget is living day to day and doesn’t have very high expectations of her life before her.
Enter Chad Gamble. He meets her at the club one night and there is an instant attraction. Bridget is aware of who he is and questions her attraction to him but he screams sex and she decides she wants some of that. Chad sees Bridget very differently to how she sees herself and is instantly attracted to and turned on by Bridget.
Bridget isn’t like one of Chad’s supermodel conquests….he sees something in her that has him questioning past and future decisions. Bridget gets under his skin.
“His smile was pure sex. “It doesn’t matter where. I want to fuck you in all those places……..and I will” Geez!
They are forced into an arrangement that sees them having to spend a lot of time together and a relationship starts to develop against Bridget’s better judgement.
I felt this story moved along really well. Even though you knew how it was going to eventuate it didn’t detract from the story at all. In fact the journey getting there was so enjoyable I didn’t want it to end.
This book is very steamy – these two have a lot of sexual chemistry and I really did love them and the story. This was a fun, quick and enjoyable read.
Oh, did I say it was hot.
“Are you sure that’s what you want, Bridget? Because once I start, I won’t stop again. I will take you – take you so hard that every breath afterward is only going to remind you of me”
Must say I was getting to 82% and excited that I still had a bit to go and then it ended grrrr, there were also a few typos/grammatical errors in the book which I could overlook and it didn’t detract from my enjoyment of the book but I know that can have an impact for others so wanted to make mention of it.
Can’t wait for the third installment in this series.
Synopsis

A sexy category romance from Entangled’s Brazen imprint…
He’s a player on and off the field…
Chad Gamble, all-star pitcher for the Nationals, is one of the best players on—and off—the field. And right now, the notorious bad boy wants Bridget Rodgers. But with her lush curves and snappy comebacks, the feisty redhead is the kind of woman a man wants to settle down with…and that’s the last thing Chad needs.
When the paparazzi catch them in a compromising position, Chad’s manager issues an ultimatum: clean up his act or kiss his multi-million dollar contract goodbye. To save his career, his meddling publicist says he’ll have to convince everyone Bridget isn’t just his flavor of the week, but his girlfriend.
Being blackmailed into a fake relationship with Chad Gamble isn’t easy, especially when the sizzling physical attraction between them is undeniable. With a month to go on their arranged pretense, it’s going to take every ounce of willpower they have not to fall into bed together…or in love.
