About this listen
My ex-fiancé is back, waving around my expensive ring, sitting in stands, and being a real pain in the ass. My lady-friend is pretty cool about the whole thing until the ex sets me up for a photo shoot, starring yours truly and her naked in my hotel room. That's when I figure enough is enough. Sure, we've been friends since we were kids but that doesn't give her the right to ruin the best thing that's ever happened to me. And when the love-of-my-life disappears? That's just over-the top.
This is book two in the Busted Play series. Absolutely no cheating, despite what the ex wants, and HEA guaranteed.

Story
When my physical therapist's ex locks her out and takes everything she owns, I want to help. However, a recent, unfortunate incident has social media all over me. Risking all, I offer her cold, hard, cash but she refuses, suggesting I'm trying to buy her sexual favors. Now she's got this ridiculous idea she can get back on her feet with a wedding. A fake marriage might be just the thing to sweeten my side of a million-dollar deal so I agree. Everything would've worked out fine except for her sweet baby-blues. The minute they focus on me, I'm never letting her go.

Story
I specifically told the agency I wanted a male dog walker. She’s way too leggy. That’s the problem. And young. And naïve. I got no business letting her stay in my guesthouse, especially the way my blood runs south whenever she’s near. In another lifetime, I might’ve pursued her but I suck at relationships.

There’s a fine line between lust and hate. I don’t care that Drew Merritt spent the last year transforming himself from grungy slob to sexy playboy. With messy, dirty blond hair and gorgeous eyes, his looks aren’t the problem. His mouth is. And the stupid things that come out of it. But after an emergency strands us together, and he does his damnedest to take care of me.... Let’s just say there’s one thing we don’t clash on. And it doesn’t involve talking.

Baited sweet chaos. Blew apart everything. My dating disaster? Gone. Our kiss? Electric. Divine. Toe-curling. His mistake? Oh, boy. Dropping the ultimate F-bomb: fiancée.

Hang on a second. I never bullied anyone. I’m not that guy. I was a star quarterback in high school with more friends than I could keep track of. With it being my senior year and college scouts already taking interest, I had a bright future. Then, this crazy redhead shows up ranting at me like I’m the filth of the Earth...what right does she have? So naturally, I had to defend myself. I may have gone a little overboard - but it was only to ensure she’d stay out of my way for good. That was four years ago.

I don’t love him. I don’t even like him.I just want him. Eli Loveless was my nemesis from the first day of kindergarten until we graduated high school. Everything I did, he had to do better—and vice versa. The day he left town was the best day of my life. Ten years later, the day he came back was the worst. Now he’s my co-worker. Grown-up Eli Loveless is sexy as sin. He’s hotter than asphalt in the summer. The irritating kid I once knew is gone, and he’s been replaced by a man with green eyes, perfect abs, and a cocky smile. It’s bad that I want him. It’s worse that he wants me back.

It comes complete with an organic happy-ever-after (or seven), a Bratwurst Wagon, ill-advised office pranks between a billionaire boss and the woman he tormented as a child, and no cheating or cliffhangers.

Love with a dangerous element!
This is a cute quick story of CJ and Mel. I enjoyed them and their story. It’s full of action, sexy times and danger. I enjoyed it and look forward to more.
I did listen to this on audio. Jonathan Winters did a nice job. His accents are wonderful to listen to. Finn?? oMG! Irish!

Love it!
I was given this free review copy audio-book at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Great 2nd book in the Players series. CJ and Mel have to deal with CJ's ex Mary Jane, she will do anything to get CJ back, how far will she go? I loved this 2nd book as much as the 1st. Stella Marie Alden does a great job with the characters and story. Narrator Jonathan Waters does a great job with the characters, voices and the story! On to the third book!

Keep it coming!
I am loving this set of novellas, each giving us just enough of CJ and Mel to keep us coming back for more. This one picks up a little after the first novella ends, and the two are together. But when CJ's ex comes out to play, things get a little dicey! Will the paparazzi kill their relationship? Can CJ be trusted when Mary Jane is around? And what is she up to? It's fast paced, passionate and exciting listen. These characters are larger than life, and make the listen so much fun, I just can't get enough. Can't wait to hear the next one.
Jonathan Waters continues his narration of this series and I am loving his voice. He puts the right amounts of emotion into each character and plays each so well. He really brings it alive and I look forward to more from him.

The magic of CJ and Melanie continues
Counter Play by Stella Marie Alden takes things up a notch. There's not only their chemistry at play (fans self) but the drama is also increased with an added antagonist. As if they don't have enough to deal with already.
Once again, Jonathan Waters does an exceptional job with CJ and Melanie (as well as all the other characters) bringing this author's work to life. A really enjoyable listen of a really story!

He's too nice
Very fast moving book that you will have a hard time putting down. The two main characters Melanie and Chance were very well developed along with the storyline. Two issues - the length of the book and Chance was just too nice for too long with his ex. I was really hooked and then it was over. While this book does not require that you read the rest of the series, you will want to just to see where Stella, has taken the characters. Could just as easily have been one long book.

Busted Play Series Book 2
Great short sports romance. Continue along with CJ and Mel on their journey. Multiple hiccups along the way including CJ’s ex Mary Jane and her mother. The narrator does a good job although there are sometimes it takes a minute before you realize when he’s reading from CJ or Mel’s perspective.
