My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The playing Series boxset by Stephanie Queen was a great series. I have read a few of this authors books in the past and I am familiar with her writing style. These books were a little different from what I have read by her previously. This really was the perfect set of books to read. It’s starting to get cold out so I found myself snuggled up with my puppies at night, a cup of coffee in hand and got lost in this series. Who doesn’t likes sports romance books or 2nd Chance Romance reads? It’s hard to pick a favorite. You will have to read them yourself and pick one of your own. I enjoyed all 3.

Playing for the money was about bad boy Hunter getting moved to a new team. He needs to keep himself on the right track and prove himself but what can he do when the woman he is supposed to work along side is so attractive. He finds it hard to keep his distance as she does as well. The icing on the cake is, she isn’t just any woman…she’s the coaches daughter!!! Loved the character and Loved reading this one!!

Playing for love was another great read. These two characters are not new friends. They do know each other from sometime ago. The time for them just wasn’t right. Now things may be different. This was a sweet read. I liked the characters. What will happen now that Gabe and Mia are spending some time together?? Read the book and find out.

Playing for keeps has a little bit of a different feel for me. I enjoyed reading the book but, sometimes certain books hit you differently. This happens to be one of them. The main characters in this book are Tate and Chloe. These two have an attraction to each other even if they don’t want to. What happens when their friends get involved?

I can’t wait to read more books by this author. These books were all amazing.

Playing Series 3 Book Set by Stephanie Queen is a wonderfully collection of three books about three different couples each one can be read as a standalone. Sports genre is one of my favorite genres I mean what’s not to love about it . There’s drama, romance and some heated moments that will definitely make the room feel warm. There’s a friends to lovers and second chances. This author has a way of pulling you and not letting go until the end. The characters are fun and realistic and easily relatable . Find out what happens with each of these couples. I can’t recommend this author enough . If you are looking for your next sports romance pick up this book set you won’t be disappointed.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I thoroughly enjoyed this set of three books in Queen’s ‘Playing Series’, each one is a full sports romance novel set in the world of the Boston Militia football team. As the novels contain adult themes and steamy scenes they are intended for adults 18+. ‘Playing for the Money’ is a bad boy sports romance centred around NFL bad boy Hunter Quintanna and his coach’s daughter, Cat. Hunter is desperate to keep his contract with the Boston Militia as he needs the money to support his Mum and siblings but when he meets Cat, the very off limits daughter of his coach he finds it hard to keep his hands to himself. When Cat became bad boy Hunter’s handler to turn around his reputation she definitely did not expect to loose her heart to him. As much as Hunter & Cat try to keep their relationship professional their sizzling connection can not be ignored. I loved Cat and Hunter and their chemistry sizzled off the page, I was cheering them on hoping they would get their happy ever after.

Novel two, ‘Playing for Love’ has a more second chance at love feel to it and having been introduced to the world of the Boston Militia in book one I was looking forward to being back amongst the team. Superstar NFL quarterback Gabriel Wyatt loves football but unfortunately his girlfriend does not and has moved to Atlanta. Things get more complicated when his girlfriend asks him to show her best friend Mia around Boston. Mia turns out to be the girl from Gabe’s college days who he kept at arms length so that a relationship would not compromise his football career. The more time they spend together the crush that they had on each other four years ago develops into something more. Another wonderfully written sports romance by Stephanie Queen who has developed a great world surrounding the Boston Militia and one which she makes come alive. The main characters are likeable and relatable and the storyline is full of romance, angst and drama which had me hooked from beginning to end.

‘Playing for Keeps’, has a enemies to lovers storyline and introduces us to Tate and Chloe. Tate Fontanna is a footballer or as Chloe refers to him as, a ‘jock’ and Chloe Smith is a sports reporter who Tate looks at as being dangerous. Tate believes Chloe is just after a story and can not be trusted whilst Chloe thinks Tate is a player. However neither can deny their instant attraction to the other or the sizzling chemistry between them. Tate needs to avoid bad press as his contract is up for renewal but ignoring the ambitious Chloe is harder than he thinks and Chloe also starts to see Tate in a different light until a scandal erupts and Tate finds out if he can really trust Chloe or not. I loved the banter between Tate and Chloe and how they had to overcome their initial thoughts about one another to develop a relationship. Both characters are likeable and realistic and the author has a way of making the reader feel engaged with them. Tate and Chloe’s chemistry really came across in the narrative, and this led to some sexy scenes. The plot had enough going on in it to keep me happily turning the pages and I felt immersed in the world of the Boston Militia once again.

I ‘binge read’ the three novels, each one can be read as a standalone story although they are all set in the same world and the characters do crossover. Although each novel was an enjoyable read, the stories did take me on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading them. Despite all the angst and all the emotions each story in the series is guaranteed a happy and satisfying ending.

Playing Series 3 book set contains the first 3 books in the Playing Series by Stephanie Queen. I wrongly assumed that this was a trilogy of books containing one couple’s story. That’s what I get for reading the blurb of the first book and liking it then deciding to read the set and not looking at the rest of the blurb. What you actually get is 3 full complete stories of 3 fantastic couples. This set contains the following:
Playing for the Money – Cat and Hunter’s story
Playing for Love – Gabe and Mia’s story
Playing for Keeps – Tata and Chloe’s story

I had never previously read any of Stephanie Queen’s work but I love a sports romance and liked the look of the blurb of book 1 and so decided to give this set of books a chance. I am so glad that I took a chance on this set as I absolutely loved all 3 books. I don’t think I can pick a favourite. All 3 are very different stories but all great engaging entertaining reads. Each book had me hooked from the very beginning and kept me going until the very end. I really didn’t want to put these books down. The proverbial page turner!

The author has produced excellent, relatable, realistic characters that you can’t help but fall in love with and great storylines that keep you entertained from beginning to end, so If you love great sports romances. Or even just great romances where the sexy times are HOT then this set of 3 books is a MUST read.

5 Stars

Stephanie Queen is definitely a favorite author of mine. If you have not dug in to her Beachcomber Investigations series, you simply must! I picked this set up because of the author and I’m somewhat shocked that I loved it as much as I did as I’m not really into the sports genre, but as usual this author pulled me in and didn’t let go.

This box set contains 3 books about 3 different couples. Each one can be read as a standalone but reading them all gives you the best experience.

You get everything you could want in these books. An enemy to lovers, a second chance, and what I would call a forbidden romance. Each one has its own level of heat, sweetness, drama, and I lost count of how many times I laughed out loud while reading this set.

Once again this author reinforces how I feel about her writing style and the flow of her books. Beachcomber will forever be my favorite series by this author but this one will run a close second.

Pick these up, you will not be sorry!

This is a great set of books. Each book includes its own couple, its own story and its own budding romance. The emotion in all the books is so well written that you feel and experience everything the characters do. I loved them all.

Playing for money- This story is about Hunter and Cat. Hunter is a bad boy with a reputation that isn’t truelly deserved but the only person who knows the truth is Cat.
Cat is the coach’s daughter and she has been hired to keep Hunter out of trouble. Will she succeed or will the attraction between them be the failing for them both.

Playing for love- This book is a second chance romance between Gabe  and Mia. Gabe  is a player on the same team as Hunter. Football is his life so when his long term gf moves away he is happy to settle for a long distance relationship. However that changes when his gf’s friend Mia moves to Boston. Denise (Gabes gf) tells Gabe he needs to watch out for Mia and she also tells Mia that she needs to make sure Gabe is being faithful. Little does she realise that the attraction between Gabe and Mia will be so strong. Can they resist temptation or is having a long distance gf not an option for Gabe anymore?

Playing for keeps- This story is about Tate and Chloe and is definately an enemies to lovers story. Tate can’t stand the media after they hounded him at his uncles funeral so when he meets Chloe  the hatred is there from the beginning.
Chloe will do anything to get a story and when she hears rumours about Tate being injured she has to investigate. Is she biting off more than she can chew by approaching Tate? Can she win him around or will his hatred for the media continue to include her.

Playing Series 3 is a set of unique stories with wonderful characters and great relationships this set is a great read.

The first story is Playing for the money – This follows Hunter who punches his coach and ends up being transferred across th country, but will this be he best decision in the end.

Catalina or Cat for short, is the coaches daughter but when a new player arrives will she be able to keep her attraction in check or will love win out.

The second story in this trilogy is Playing for Love – The story revolves around Gabe and MIa, this story is a second chance book. Gabe and Mia meet a long time ago but they were both in other relationships but Gabe has never really got her out of his system, until another chance meeting with Mia brings all the feelings back and he can’t resist her this time.

Will they able to give love a chance again?

The third and final book in this collection is Playing for Keeps – The story involves Tate who is in a slump as his Uncle and role model has just passed away but Tate feels guilty as he should have stopped him getting into the car after a couple of drinks.

Chloe is a reporter for the local newspaper and finds herself covering this event that has happened, that’s when she meets Tate and a attraction is on the cards.

I have always loved Stephanie’s writing and this does not disappoint, each story offers a great feel good factor and the characters compliment each other brilliantly. Each story is well developed and is a page turner. I would recommend this author and this series.

This is the first series i have read by Stephanie Queen. I thoroughly enjoyed it, i have only read a few football based love stories before this set and the playing series box set is by far my favourite so far. Three Footballers with three different romances. They all have something different to offer but each does not disappoint with the steamy romance. All 3 are based around a Boston football team.
Book 1 – Playing for the money, is a bad boy sports romance, Book 2 – Playing for love, is a second chance sports romance and Book 3 – Playing for keeps, is an enemies to lovers sports romance.
All three books are an enjoyable read containing humor and chemistry.

Are you sad that sports events this year haven’t been the norm? Are you a romance reader? Do you like the bad boy type romances, the second chance romances, the enemies to lovers romances? All three? Well then do I have a series for you! Playing Series 3 Book Set: Sports Romance by Stephanie Queen hits all 3 of those types of romance books.

Playing for the Money: a Bad Boy Sports Romance

Hunter Quintanna is a bad boy. But not in the way you are thinking. He has the worst reputation in the football league. Circumstances have him switching to a new team across the country where he meets Cat Marini, his new coach’s daughter, and official “handler”. Trying to stay under the radar and get through the season, the last thing Hunter needs is to find his new handler attractive. Cat can’t resist the pull between her and Hunter. But will they both be willing to risk it all for a chance at love?

Playing for Love: a Second Chance Sports Romance

Gabriel Wyatt is the Quarterback for the Boston Militia and football is his life, much to the dismay of his long-distance girlfriend who’s not a fan. Mia Lane is his girl’s best friend who has just moved to Boston. Tasked with helping Mia get settled, Gabriel must fight his attraction to the ER nurse. Mia made a promise to her bestie. To keep an eye on Gabe and make sure he is being faithful. But how can she do that when she’s fighting her own attraction to the star quarterback? Can these two overcome their obstacles and find love together?

Playing for Keeps: an Enemies to Lovers Sports Romance

Any publicity is good publicity, isn’t that what they say? Not for Tate Fontanna. He has a true hate/hate relationship with the media after the circus surrounding his uncle’s death. Now in the final season of his contract, with negotiations on the horizon, Tate can’t afford any bad press. Chloe Smith is a news reporter with a purpose. She needs a “good story” to show she is as good of a reporter as her legendary father. After overhearing a juicy tidbit about the Boston Militia linebacker, Chloe thinks she may have her story. But how far will she be willing to go after meeting Tate? Can these two put their ire aside and accept the feelings blooming between them?

As a new reader of Stephanie Queen, I was pleasantly surprised by this box series. Add the fact that I’m not a big sports fan and I’ll be honest, I wasn’t expecting to enjoy these books as much as I did. Ms. Queen uses witty humor, angst, chemistry, and interesting character attributes to draw the reader into her books. The sports theme isn’t overdone and unbearable for a non-sports fan. Overall, all three books were entertaining and enjoyable to read. I would definitely recommend picking up this series and giving it a go!

I’ve been privileged to read some of Queen’s other works previously and have always enjoyed the easy way I fall into her stories. I know I wouldn’t be disappointed by this three book series. And I definitely wasn’t. I don’t pick up sports romance regularly but I do enjoy them immensely. There is always something extra with the on-field drama and then the off-field escapades. Queen balances it all extremely well and each of these stories is just a fantastic read. You’ll love them all and won’t go wrong picking up this set.

Playing Series 3 Book Set: Sports Romance by Stephanie Queen is a collection for 3 sports romance novels but an amazing author. Each book is a different type of sports romance and each one is brilliant in its own right. The characters are all such strong characters that have great chemistry between them. I loved how different each couple seemed to the last I had read about – it made them so distinctive since I was read these books all at once.
The stories themselves were all well written. They were easy to engage with and I found myself flying through them so quickly I was enjoying them so much. They were fun and entertaining but also contained enough emotion and depth that you really got in to them all.
This author is one that I have become familiar over the past year or so and I have enjoyed everything that I have read by her. This is another great series and one I would highly recommend.

Playing Series 3 Book Set by Stephanie Queen is a new adult sports romance series. I was so glad I read this as a box set because I couldn’t put it down and didn’t have to wait for the next one!

Playing for Love is a second chance romance. Gabriel and Mia definitely have some sparks but there is one problem, Mia’s best friend is Gabriel’s girlfriend. Mia moves to Boston though and that’s when things start to change.

Playing for the Money is all about the bad boy. Hunter has a terrible reputation even if most of what is said isn’t true. The current sexual harassment situation doesn’t help things at all. Now he has a “handler” to keep him out of trouble and make his rep better. Cat and Hunter are attracted to each other but Hunter wants to make it to the end of the season with no drama and Cat being the coaches daughter is off limits. What are they to do?

Playing for Keeps is an enemies to lovers story. Tate and Chloe are just about instant enemies. Tate can’t stand the media after an incident at his uncle’s funeral and Chloe is a sports reporter which is basically asking for trouble with Tate. While at a bar, Chloe overhears some information about Tate that she can’t help but investigate. Will this create more tension between the two?

I absolutely enjoyed this series! I couldn’t put it down. Each book had their own flare that just draws you in.

Playing Series 3 Book Set: Sports Romance by Stephanie Queen is a set that you need to grab. Stephanie has done a wonderful job with the characters and their development. And let’s not forget the steamy romances. Each book is a short but sweet read.

Playing for the Money is a Bad Boy Sports Romance. Hunter loses the one thing that he needed his place on the team. Not everything is as it seems but that doesn’t matter when the truth is hidden. His heart is torn between the right thing, the game and the sexy woman who is his keeper will not stop until she gets what she wants.

Playing for Love is a beautiful Second Chance Sports Romance. Gabe lives for football but unfortunately his girlfriend doesn’t share his passion. Denise sets out to test his fidelity as she lives a long way away. When her bestie comes to his town, they both find they are torn between their feelings, but Gabe knows nothing can come of it due to his commitments even though he knows his relationship is long over.

Playing for Keeps is a sexy an Enemies to Lovers Sports Romance. Tate absolutely hates the media even though he knows it comes with the territory as a pro footballer. It figures fate would deal a blow when he finds the one woman, he is attracted to happens to be his nemesis, a reporter. Watch as they navigate their love hate relationship.

If you are a fan of sports romance stories…then this series is for you!

Each of the three books focuses on a player from the Boston Militia football team. Playing for the Money: a Bad Boy Sports Romance focuses on the team’s tight end, Hunter. Cat has been assigned to be his handler and keep him line after an alleged incident. Hunter is trying to stay on the right path so he can support his family. However, he is having a hard time fighting his attraction to Cat…especially since the coach has a rule about staying away from his daughter!

Playing for Love: a Second Chance Sports Romance is the story of the team’s QB, Gabriel. This is probably my favorite of the three stories. Gabriel is in a long-distance relationship since his dream of football has him playing in Boston. When his girlfriend’s best-friend moves to Boston sparks fly. The angst is soooo good in this story and I found myself devouring this one in one sitting!

Playing for Keeps: an Enemies to Lovers Sports Romance is the story of Tate, the team’s linebacker. Tate is not a huge fan of reporters and the media…and Chloe is a sports reporter who has overheard information about Tate while out at a bar. Tate and Chloe are at odds with each other…so what happens when their friends set them up on a blind date?

All three stories were wonderful. I love a good sports romance and each of these stories checked off all the things I love in a good book. There was angst and witty banter…cocky athletes…strong women…and of course some spicy moments thrown in. I love how all these books are connected and characters show up in all three. A great series…and I will definitely be checking out more!

Playing series 3 book set by Stephanie Queen each tell their own story wrapped in a bow.
Playing for the Money – Is Hunter the bad boy that we think he is, yes, he punched his old coach, but as we get the story it reveals the real Hunter. Cat brings a great side to the story, and she also allows the heat to be brought to the story.
Playing for Love – My Goodness Gabe is a real player, and not in the normal sense when reading a sports romance, he has an obsession with his sport that brings football to life on the page. Its sad that not everyone can see that, but will that matter in the end? Will Mia coming to town give him another obsession? Or will their joint acquaintance keep them from becoming acquainted.
Playing for Keeps – oohh I do love a good enemies to lovers story, and when you realise that the two ‘enemies’ both have shadows hanging over them, is it the shadows that keep them enemies? You will need to read to find out. Tate and Chloe will keep you hooked and bring you into the story.
Each one of these stories brings something else to the novel, they all complement each other and make a great collection.

I am such a mega fan of football romance novels it’s a bit much but I can’t get enough. When I saw these three were offered in a box set from one of my go to romance authors, Stephanie Queen, I knew I had to scoop it up ASAP. I wasn’t disappointed one bit either, these kept me glued to my kindle all weekend long and it was just what the doctor ordered to escape my funk. These have some of it all, romance, witty characters, drama, and of course some sassy love scenes. What more could you want?

PLAYING FOR MONEY:
In this one we focus on Hunter Quintana. He is in quite the predicament and needs to stay out of trouble if at all possible, especially since he is on probation. Unfortunately, fate has another plan when he drops the coach’s daughter and a bad crush for her in his lap. This sucker was a fun read and I found myself giggling several times as I read and cheering for these two to get that happily ever after no matter what.

PLAYING FOR LOVE:
Adding second chance romance into sports/football romance reads is seriously like sprinkling sugar on top and adding the cherry to your fav sundae. I loved this one so much as we followed Gabriel, the team’s star quarterback. His girlfriend and her bestie are about to make his steady and good life a bit more dramatic to say the least! This actually was my fav of the three books in this series and I’d totally read another Gabriel book any day!

PLAYING FOR KEEPS:
In Playing for Keeps we get Tate’s story. The trope is one we see a lot of , enemies to lovers, but Queen really wrote this in a way that it was fresh and entertaining the whole way through. Tate and Chloe start off with a tumultuous start but I think the way to the end was well worth every second.

Playing Series 3 Book Set contains 3 books from the popular Playing series by Stephanie Queen. It is a New Adult football/sports romance series that focuses on the players in the Boston Militia Football Team. Each book in the series contains a standalone story.
This is a great way to explore this fantastic series, getting 3 books to sink your teeth into- with captivating stories and wonderful characters to discover between the covers. If you are like me, you will find that three books are not enough- and go searching for more.
I love Stephanie Queen’s Beachcomber Investigations series- so I was really intrigued to see what she could do with sports romance. As expected, these books are really beautifully written and were so much (sexy) fun to read.
This boxset contains:

Playing For the Money.
Hunter Quintana really needs to keep his head down and stay out of trouble- being on probation and all. So, a fling with the coaches daughter would probably be a bad idea. Right? Dive into this Bad Boy Sports Romance and discover if Hunter can resist temptation and stay out of trouble.

Playing for Love.
This is a really great second chance sports romance with enough angst and drama to keep things really interesting. Gabriel is the star quarterback for the Boston Militia Football Team and life is good. What happens when his girlfriend’s bestie moves to the area and he’s asked to show her around. Yes. You guessed it. Things are about to get interesting!

Playing For Keeps.
Professional football player Tate has good reason to hate reporters. So we get to see the sparks really fly when Chloe, the sports reporter, enters the scene. This is a great enemies to lovers romance- with all the ingredients needed to make it an engrossing read.

 

I really enjoyed this boxset and I am happy to have found some more books in the series to check out!
Happy Reading!

Thank you, Stephanie Queen!

I loved reading the three stories in this collection. They are stories that are romantic and enjoyable to read. They pulled me in from the beginning and I found myself hooked. You are entering the world of the Boston Militia football team. I loved reading about the main characters as well as the additional ones as well. I also loved that some of the characters from each book were brought forward to the next one. I enjoyed the bantering that goes back and forth between the characters. There are friendships and camaraderie as well. There are romantic scenes that make the temperature in the room rise. Also, chemistry, attraction, and passion. There are at times stressful and emotional situations that the characters must deal with. My emotions went up and down throughout the stories. The author has a wonderful way of making both the story and the characters come alive. Don’t miss out on three stories that you won’t want to put down until you finish the final page of each. I highly recommend reading them.

USA Today bestselling author Stephanie Queen has been writing stories forever, the kind with happy endings. Living in New Hampshire with her family and her cat, besides writing, she loves to paint—pictures, not houses. She goes to the gym. More or less. She is the president of her local Chocoholics Anonymous chapter (after a long-standing denial and spectacular failure to control her permanent addiction). She is an alumni of UConn—Go Huskies!—and Harvard U.

Stephanie writes sexy sports romance, the romantic thriller detective series, Beachcomber Investigations set on Martha’s Vineyard and other series and stand-alone novels. So far she’s published more than 45 novels and novellas and has no plans to stop.
