Player’s Club — a secret organization where members learn to live life to the fullest. The catch? There’s a big emphasis on the “secret” part. So when D-List celebrity Juliana Mayfield decides that joining the elusive Player’s Club can be her big ticket back into the limelight, she cajoles her way into the club, despite founder Lincoln Stone’s intense dislike of media darlings.
Lincoln has his own reasons for keeping the Player’s Club, as well as his own life, a secret from the public and the media, and he sees Juliana as nothing more than an attention-starved poor-little-rich-girl. Vowing to keep an eye on her, he soon discovers that keeping his hands off of her is going to create a bigger challenge.
But when Juliana’s ambitions bring the Player’s Club into the spotlight, is there any way for her to redeem herself in the eyes of the club — and in the eyes of the man she’s fallen in love with?
I’m a huge fan of this series. The entire concept behind the Player’s Club fascinates me, and I adore watching the pledge challenges play out. More than that, however, was the absolutely decadent tension between Juliana and Lincoln, and the lovely angst caused by Juliana’s ambitions.
Recommended for fans of secret societies, high-octane adventure, and sizzling sensuality.
5/5 Stars.
