Everything to Me (Playing for Keeps Book 1) by Lauren Fraser is a great romance story

Since she can remember, Kendall Graves has been in love with her brother’s buddy. Sadly, he has never had the same feelings towards her. She has only ever been his friend’s obnoxious younger sister before now. Pete Saunders, a professional baseball player, never considered that Kendall would persuade him to violate the bro code when he agreed to let her stay with him while she was in town. First rule: Never touch your friend’s or teammate’s sister. Rule 2 is covered in Rule 1. But compared to the awkward young sister he knew, this Kendall is very different. This Kendall is hot, stacked, and really intelligent. Anyone would be tempted by it. And it won’t damage him if his friend is unaware of it.

Every page was exciting and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a unique sports romance series. The story really brings excitement into your life. I couldn’t put the book down. As the story progressed, it made me glad I got the second one to get started on it right away.

Lauren Fraser’s Playing for Keeps series is one of my favorite baseball romance series I have ever read! As someone who grew up playing baseball, I have always been a huge fan of watching major league baseball and love that this series is so realistic! Watching Kendell fantasize about her big brother, Ryan’s best friend, Pete, and pulling all her seductive tricks was just awesome. It is so fun watching these two navigate through the natural pull of sexual tension they have one for the other while trying to respect the friendship between Pete and Ryan, while still listening to the wants and needs of Kendell and Pete’s attraction to one another, will friendship win out or will it be the thrill of a relationship that had been long sought after since Kendell’s pre-teen years? The characters in this story are so realistic, they are excellently written that they could be about real people, that are trying to figure out what’s most important to them. I could not put this book down; I was cheering the whole time for these two characters to their heart’s and forget about everything else that didn’t matter. If you’re a fan of baseball and romance books, then this is the perfect mashup for you!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In all honesty, I’m not much into sports romances, but the concept of these books had me so intrigued that I had to read this series and wow, am I glad I did. Lauren Fraser has written this series so well that I truly connected to the characters and was invested in their stories.

What do you do when you invite your friend’s little sister to stay with you only to realize she’s nothing like you remember? Do you break bro code and have a little fun? Do you risk your friendship for something you’re sure will only be a passing tryst? Can true love actually be real? This is an entertaining read that definitely packs some steam along with all the feels. Kendall and Pete are great characters and this is a fast, fun read.

This story is about Pete and Kendall. What starts out as a typical “can’t love or even lust after my best friend’s little sister and I love my brother’s best friend” type of story turns out to be pretty good. This author gives these characters a fun and flirty life with a baseball twist. Super cute and sweet.

I loved how the author told their back story without having actual flashbacks so the story continued to flow. There’s sexy time so this book is not for kids or easily offended readers. This story is a quick read and has a HEA. And the fact that there are secondary characters is even better. Nothing better than more stories to read by an author who knows how to write.

Would recommend this story and looking forward to who’s up to bat next!

When you fall head over heels for your brother’s best friend, team-mate, co-worker and you test the waters to see how far the infatuation goes on both sides.

This story was filled with passion, lust, and love. Kendall has always had a crush on Pete. The only thing standing in their way is Ryan. Who so happens to be Kendall’s brother. But also Pete’s best friend and team-mate.

We all know not to mess with team dynamics when it comes to a team sport like baseball. Pete took a leap of faith when he fell hard for Kendall and then had to face up to Ryan at the end.

Will their love for one another win or will the dynamic of the team and friendship come first?

5 Stars!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I love a good sports romance so I decided to check this book out and to say…. I was definitely not disappointed. This was a great book with banter, rule breaking, baseball and romance. I loved this story of Kendall and Pete, knowing that they knew each other since childhood and Kendall’s girl crush on Pete comes to light.

Kendall is smart, sassy and knows what she wants in life….Kendall has a wonderful career and with her job placing her in San Diego is perfect opportunity to spice it up with Pete.

Pete is a professional baseball player and is definitely not looking for anything long term when it comes to a relationship. When he has Kendall over for a week due to her job in need of being in the San Diego area…Pete is now looking at Kendall in a different way then when they were kids.

When Kendall and Pete get together and the sizzle is off the rooftops…knowing that it is only a no strings week….will it become more?

I loved this story and looking forward to reading more from this author.

Pete and Kendall are everything! Pete said his best friends sister could come stay the week with him while she was in town for her job. Kendall was the annoying little sister that had a crush on her brothers best friend growing up. So when she shows up at his house, he’s blown away with how grown she is now. Will he fall for the girl even if it means he’s “betraying” his best friend? The angst, the spice..I’m OBSESSED. Kendall and Pete make a deal but will they both keep their word? Or fall head over heels in love with each other? The brothers best friend trope is one of my favorites and I couldn’t put this book down. I finished it in a few hours. Great characters and great story! ABSOLUTELY READ THIS! I’m onto the next book in the series because I can’t get enough! 5 stars for me! 😍

By Lauren Fraser

I loved this book so very much. The characters were so well written and their story was so believable. I loved how well the author portrayed Pete. How he was feeling just jumped off the page. Kendall is one of the most likable characters I have ever read. I truly wish there would be a spinoff about her and her job. I loved everything about her, her complex relationship with her family, her situation with Pete, and her job. I definitely recommend this romance to everyone! It is so good and I cannot wait for the next book in the series.

This is the 2nd book in a series of standalone contemporary romance novels. I had not read the first book and didn’t feel that I was missing any necessary information. It was also my first time reading this author’s work and I was pleasantly surprised by how my I enjoyed this book.
I do love the ‘brother’s best friend’ trope and this book is a great example of this. Kendall has always had a massive crush on her brother’s best friend Pete. When Kendall has to visit their city for work, she stays at Pete’s house as her brother is away that week. So while the cats away the mice certainly do play. The chemistry is off the charts hot and when they get together it’s hot and steamy.
I loved both Pete and Kendall. I also really liked Kendall’s brother Ryan too. This author has a knack for writing really great characters that are relatable and that you get invested in.
Like many romances set in the sports world, there is a great camaraderie among the players, and this is something I really enjoy reading. Again, this author does a great job here. I loved reading the banter and the ribbing that they give each other, yet they always have each other’s backs.
This is a really great romance novel that I would recommend to other readers.

An enjoyable and engaging sports romance which was a real page turner. Kendall has been in love with her brother’s friend forever, but he’s always seen her as his friends annoying sister. However, things change when professional baseball player, Pete Saunders, agrees to let Kendall stay with him while she’s in town. Although Pete is known as a bit of a player, he’s never broken the ‘bro-code’ before, “Rule number 1- don’t touch your friend/teammate’s sister. Rule number 2- see rule number 1”, but Kendall is way to tempting for him. Kendall and Pete start a relationship behind her brothers back, but Pete only does casual and he doesn’t believe in true love, so have they even got a future. I liked Kendall and Pete as they were likeable and relatable characters, and their chemistry really sizzled off the page. I also enjoyed how their relationship developed throughout the story. The storyline was fairly fast paced and the out-of-bounds relationship theme kept me happily turning the pages.

I’m a sucker for these types of books. Everything to Me definitely fit the bill. The author pulls you in with the untouchable storyline that develops into so much more.
Pete, a kid from the wrong side of the tracks, is now a professional baseball player. He has everything he ever dreamed of. Well almost everything. When his best friend’s little sister shows up at his door on a business trip, he’s reminded of just that. One problem is that she’s off limits. Her brother Ryan would never approve of some like him to date her.
Kendall thought she could have a fling with her childhood crush to get him out of her system. That was her plan when she called Pete for a place to stay. Unfortunately it takes some convincing due to his close relationship with her brother. Never did she imagine she would struggle to stick to the terms. Or to fall even harder for him.
The author weaves a tension induced web around them that is about to go up in flames.
How does Pete feel about all this?
Will Kendall and Pete move forward?
The biggest elephant throughout, does Ryan find out?
It’s a sweet story I was sucked right into, and I think you will be too!

Everything to Me: A Best Friend’s Sister Sports Romance (Playing for Keeps #2) By Lauren Fraser

This is the first book I’ve read by the author. Everything to Me is the second book in the Playing for Keeps Series. Everything to Me is a fantastic read.

Kendall is in town for a week and will be staying with her crush. She was hoping the crush would be over with, but then he opens the door. That changes everything. The quote I chose for Kendall is: “Oh my god, did you seriously just say that?” Kendall scoffed. “Take advantage of me, because the poor little lady couldn’t possibly know her own mind. Believe me, Pete. I know my own mind and if I f*** a guy, it’s because I want to f*** him. Not because I’m so naïve he’s tricked me into it.”

Peter has always thought Kendall was pretty. He didn’t realize how good looking she would get as she grew up. He was thinking of the teenager Kendall. The quote I chose for Peter is: “Torrey Pines, it’s not a hard hike at all, but I think you’ll like it. The path walks along the bluffs and overlooks the water. With the breeze off the ocean, and the birds, it’s always really nice, peaceful, even when it’s busy, which it shouldn’t be too bad today.”

Highly recommended for Sports Romance lovers.

Everything to Me is a book about Kendall, a successful marketing associate who is in love with her brother’s best-friend, Pete, a professional baseball player. Kendall had a crush on Pete since she was a teenager, but he has never seen her that way. She tries to push her luck though when invited to stay with him while she is on a work trip in his hometown. Very quickly the two of them have chemistry, but Pete is nervous about this chemistry because he knows his best friend would kill him for sleeping with his sister. However, how can anyone resist a beautiful, intelligent, and cunning woman like Kendall – she basically persuades him a secret fling is a good idea. Is a secret fling ever a good idea, especially when feelings were already there? Will he have those same feelings for her? If he does, will his past allow him to enjoy those feelings? Is she worth losing his best-friend over?

I just loved this book for so many reasons. One, this is one of my favorite tropes – brother’s best-friend, plus it was a quick read. Two, the characters are so loveable. The banter and playfulness between them is authentic. Also, I am not a girl who really enjoys a slow-burn – well, this was far from it. Within the first chapter, shit is laid out on the table and we are moving!!! The chemistry between Kendall and Pete is amazing! I would love to read more of this author’s work!!

This is book 2 of the series but can be read as a standalone. The characters Pete an Kendell were so fun, witty an provided steamy details in the bedroom! All the while hiding it from her brother Ryan. That always makes it that much more fun but dangerous. What happens when he finds out? Must read to find out…

What an amazing fast paced sports style romance, throw in an out of bounds relationship (brothers best friend) and it brings a twist to the story. I found this an engrossing and relatively quick read (this means I did have a book hangover the day after starting it, as it is hard to put down).
We follow Kendall and her teenage crush Pete who is also her brothers’ best friend and team mate. Can she work her feelings out of her system whilst staying with him? Can Pete manage to keep his emotions out of the mix and continue to have a close working relationship with Kendalls’ brother Ryan.
Kendall follows her feelings and after her job has finished she moves home, but has not manged to get Pete out of her system.
We follow their relationship as it builds and blossoms until her brother finds out.
Fast paced and the characters grow into likeable images and you just wish them a happy ever after.

This would have to be one of my favorite books at the moment! Sadly, I was not able to read the first book in the series but I’m So Thankful that I was able to read this book without having to read the first one. It’s a standalone. It’s a smart and sexy best friend sister sports romance. She (Kendall Graves) is off-limits, but this pro-baller (Pete Saunders) has never been one to follow rules. Kendall has always been in love with her brother’s friend for as long as she can remember. She has always just been his buddy’s annoying little sister. Until here recently. When a professional baseball player agrees to let her stay with him while she’s in town, it never occurred to him she’d tempt him to break bro-code. Rule number 1- don’t touch your friend/teammate’s sister. Rule number 2- see rule number 1. I highly recommend this book to anyone love loves reading sports romance. I’m excited to see what the author has instore in the coming future.

I LOVED this story! It is a smart and sexy best friend sister sports romance! Those are two of my favorite tropes meshed together into one amazing story! The characters are written very well. They made me laugh and feel for them. My favorite character is Kendall. She is so strong and I loved her standing up for herself as she goes for what she wants.

Secondary characters are wonderful! While I enjoyed Kendalls girlfriends Mooch is the one who brought a smile to my face. Nothing special he did but the way that everyone reacted to Pete’s relationship with him.

Overall this is one of my favorites this year! I laughed, smiled and chuckled while reading this. I couldn’t decide whether to read faster to find out what happens or slower to never let it end.

Quick fun read
This is a sports based, best friend’s little sister romance book. It was a quick read for me. It had a decent base of a story but seemed to lose traction a bit towards the middle and then took off again. The attraction at times didn’t sizzle as much as I thought it could. (I do enjoy a bit of steam in my books). Kendall and Pete are a great couple and I really loved the dual POV. Overall a good read for a lazy afternoon.

Holy cow!! This book is non-stop fun and steam. Loved every word and second of it!!

Kendall goes to spend the week with her brother’s best friend, Pete, whom she has had a crush on since she was 12. Now she is all grown up, he notices. Kendall is willing to try a casual hook up just to have a chance to be with Pete. Pete and Kendall agree. Soon, Pete is catching more than line drives. The shadows of each’s past haunt the possibility of this new relationship. Can they each find a way to balance their baggage and dreams for the future?

This was my first experience with this series and author. I am now a fan for keeps.

I am always a sucker for a good sports romance novel as that is the types of romance novels that I am always reading and finding myself enjoying, so when I heard about this book, I knew that I had to read it!! This book was a great one that I read in two days and could not stop thinking about it. The story revolves around Kendall who has been in love with her brother’s best friend, Pete, for as long as she can remember. She has to come to town to do some business for her job and convinces him to let her stay with him and have a no strings attached week together. Reading this book, I was on the edge of my seat as I had no idea which way this would end as Kendall and Pete are both strong willed individuals that don’t particularly like change. I fell in love with this book, and I cannot wait to reread it over and over again as well as read more books by this author!

Everything to Me is the second book in the Playing for Keeps series by Lauren Fraser. It is a sports romance with a brother’s bestfriend element, finding love unexpectedly, multiple POV’s, drama, and chemistry.
Going into this book, I didn’t realise that this was the second book in the series, and even though it could be read as a standalone, I can’t help but wonder about what happened in the first instalment, and maybe if I had read that first, then I might have enjoyed this story even more as there were a few instances where I felt like I was slightly missing something.
I did like the premise of the story, but feel like it just missed the mark or me. I also feel that it could have been even better if it had more sizzle, a steamier story, especially considering what the story is supposed to be about.
Maybe it’s just me and I was having an off reading day when I read this- so I will probably go back and read it again in a few weeks just to see if I feel the same way.

Thank you, Lauren Fraser.

This is the first book I have read from this author and she has a new fan.This is the second book from the Playing For Keeps series. This book can be read as a stand alone but there are previous characters in this story as well. I love a good sports romance but this story exceeded my expectations. These characters will draw you in right from the beginning. This book was so addictive I read it in only a day. I can’t wait to see who she will write about next.

Kendall Graves has had a crush on her big brother’s best friend ever since she was a teenager. She thinks he is so beautiful and now he is a famous ball player. Kendall is so excited when she finds out she is going to stay with Pete for a week. She wants to see if there is something that she knows she feels. Kendall and Pete form an agreement about having some fun for the week but will it turn into more?

Kendall has fantasied over her brother’s best friend for years, as a awkward teenager who was always in the middle of them she only dare to look from a far, but now grown up she has an opportunity to put that attraction to the test.

Pete’s best friend has asked him if he minds putting up Kendall while she is working in the city, when Pete agrees he is unaware that Kendall has turned into a sexy, smart woman who knows what she wants. So, when she puts a proposal on the table will he give in and break the “Bro-code” rules or will a little bit of fun with no strings fly under the radar.

Although as both get to know each other as adults’ feelings start clouding the fun and can both just walk away when the week is over.

This is the first book I have read by this author, and I thoroughly enjoyed the light-hearted, easy read story. The two main characters are well suited to each other and the way they interact is refreshing and just heart-warming. I liked how the story builds along the way and the dilemmas both have when realise the feelings are deeper than they both initially thought. It is great that this is part of the series and hope we get to see them in the next book.

I can’t wait to read the book in this series.
