I have a three date rule — but it’s not what you think.
See, I’ve been told I’m the “good time girl,” not the one you take home to Mom. And while that label stung at first, I’ve since embraced it — living the wild and free life and sticking to a three date max. That’s just enough time to have some fun and snuff out the possibility of catching feelings. And it’s been working for me for years…
Until Makoa Kumaka.
Sadly, he also has a three date rule — and it’s the exact opposite of mine. From the second I meet him, all I can think about is stripping down that six-foot-five Herculean hunk of a man. But like the gentleman I wish he wasn’t, he’s making me wait.
The more time we spend together, the more I feel those pesky emotions creeping in. I’m even tempted to trust him, but blame it on my past or my instincts, I can’t shake the feeling that he’s hiding something…
I’ve been playing the game forever, and no man has ever won my heart — which meant they never had the power to break it.
But maybe I just hadn’t met the right player.
Maybe I’ll wish I never did.
My Thoughts and Review:
"He does not get to define you."- Makoa, The Right Player by Kandi Steiner
I think almost every woman out there has had that one relationship the went wrong in a bad way. The one where he broke her or said something that made her think poorly of herself. That relationship that when it ended made her want to give up on love, build up her walls, and protect herself for life. Belle Monroe had that in her college boyfriend. She thought they would end up married, then he told her she was a fun time, but not the girl you take home. So she spent her life being that fun time girl. Her 3 date rule was the opposite of most. Until she meets Makoa.
Makoa spent his younger years being placed firmly in the friend zone by every girl he liked. So he quit trying, and devoted himself to his love of football earning himself a place in the NFL. Then it went from friend zone to being used for his money or connections. All he really wanted was someone to love. He was a big teddy bear looking for a woman who wouldn't friend zone him and didn't want him for his money or fame.
The attitudes these two have towards dating is polar opposite. Which makes for some hilarious dates, and some major miscommunications. This book will have you laughing. It will have you crying, and it is has some smokin' hot scenes. Do we really expect anything less from Kandi Steiner? I loved the return of Gemma and Zach from The Wrong Game. There are just so many great scenes and supporting characters in this book.
Kandi Steiner is a bestselling author and whiskey connoisseur living in Tampa, FL. Best known for writing "emotional rollercoaster" stories, she loves bringing flawed characters to life and writing about real, raw romance -- in all its forms. No two Kandi Steiner books are the same, and if you're a lover of angsty, emotional, and inspirational reads, she's your gal.
An alumna of the University of Central Florida, Kandi graduated with a double major in Creative Writing and Advertising/PR with a minor in Women's Studies. She started writing back in the 4th grade after reading the first Harry Potter installment. In 6th grade, she wrote and edited her own newspaper and distributed to her classmates. Eventually, the principal caught on and the newspaper was quickly halted, though Kandi tried fighting for her "freedom of press." She took particular interest in writing romance after college, as she has always been a die hard hopeless romantic, and likes to highlight all the challenges of love as well as the triumphs.
When Kandi isn't writing, you can find her reading books of all kinds, talking with her extremely vocal cat, and spending time with her friends and family. She enjoys live music, traveling, anything heavy in carbs, beach days, movie marathons, craft beer and sweet wine -- not necessarily in that order.
