Review of Best Player (Cleat Chasers #3) by Jaqueline Snowe

Best Player

Falling for my brother’s best friend is not an option—right?

Kenzie Hill needs a place to stay the summer before college, so when a spot opens up at her brother Aaron’s ‘baseball’ house, she accepts. Living with a bunch of dudes who walk around shirtless won’t distract her—she has plans and nothing will get in her way. Not even her brother’s best friend.

Tanner Johnson has one thing on his mind—his future in the MLB. After choosing to wait another year before entering the draft, he now dedicates every second to getting better on the field, or letting loose. His best friend’s sister shouldn’t even register on his radar.

The first kiss is an accident and the second leads to more. They agree it’ll just be a fling and that Aaron can never know. Kenzie’s just starting her future, while Tanner’s is already planned.

Falling for her brother’s best friend was never an option—but what happens when suddenly, it is?

**My thoughts**

I absolutely adore this series, so I was very excited when I saw the third book had been released.

Kenzie and Tanner are playing with fire. They have the most amazing physical relationship (which is going to melt your Kindle), which can be good, but can also backfire. Add in the complication of Kenzie being Tanner's friend Aaron's little sister and it really gets interesting. Aaron would absolutely kill Tanner if he knew the truth about his relationship with his little sister.

While the two of them have a smoking sexual relationship, at the same time they also teach and understand each other on a level that no one else can comprehend. And that's the magical part of their relationship. It's just no one knows about it.

That's not to say they don't have their ups and downs. This is only supposed to be a summer fling, though you know they both want more. Tanner is trying to focus on his baseball career and has a lot of family issues. Kenzie is also no stranger to the family issues and is trying to focus on the start of her college career. But you know they could make it work if they tried.

Loved this installment and really hope there is more coming soon! And yes, it does work well as a standalone, though I do recommend reading the rest of the series, just because it is so much fun.
