It started out like any other morning on the train - until I became mesmerized by the guy sitting across the aisle. He was barking at someone on his phone like he ruled the world. Who did the stuck-up suit think he was...God? Actually, he looked like a god. That was about it.

Story
Bennett Fox walked into my life on one hell of a crappy Monday morning. I was late for the first day at my new job - a job I’d now have to compete for, even though I’d already worked eight years to earn it, because of an unexpected merger. While I lugged my belongings up to my new office, a meter maid wrote me a parking summons. She’d ticketed a long line of cars - except for the Audi parked in front of me, which happened to be the same make and model as mine. Annoyed, I decided to regift my ticket to the car that had evaded a fine.

Story
The first time I met Chase Parker, I didn't exactly make a good impression. I was hiding in the bathroom hallway of a restaurant, leaving a message for my best friend to save me from my awful date. He overheard and told me I was a bitch, then proceeded to offer me some dating advice. So I told him to mind his own damn business and went back to my miserable date. I couldn't help but sneak hidden glances at the condescending jerk on the other side of the room. Of course, he caught me on more than one occasion, and winked.

Story
The first time I met Hudson Rothschild was at a wedding. I’d received an unexpected invitation to one of the swankiest venues in the city. Hudson was a groomsman and quite possibly the most gorgeous man I’d ever laid eyes on. He asked me to dance, and our chemistry was off the charts. I knew it wasn’t a good idea to get involved with him, considering the wedding I was at. But our connection was intense, and I was having a great time. Though the fun came to a screeching halt when Hudson figured out I wasn’t who I’d said I was.

The feud between Weston Lockwood and me started at the altar. Only neither of us attended the wedding, and the nuptials happened decades before either of us was born. Our grandfathers had been best friends and business partners, at least up until my grandfather’s wedding day - when his bride-to-be blurted out she couldn’t marry him because she was also in love with Weston‘s grandfather.

The first time I met Caine West was in a bar. He noticed me looking his way and mistakenly read my scowling as checking him out. When he attempted to talk to me, I set him straight -- telling him what I thought of his lying, cheating, egomaniacal ass. You see, the gorgeous jerk had wined and dined my best friend-smooth talking her into his bed, all along failing to mention that he was married. He deserved every bit of my tongue-lashing and more for what he'd done.

It was just a typical Monday. Until the big boss asked me to make the pitch for a prospective new client. After two years on shaky ground at work because of my screw up, an opportunity to impress the senior partners was just what I needed. Or so I thought, until I walked into the conference room and collided with the man I was supposed to pitch to. My coffee spilled, my files tumbled to the ground, and I almost lost my balance. And that was the good part of my day. Because the gorgeous man who crouched down and looked at me like he wanted to eat me alive was none other than my ex.

You're not supposed to want the one who torments you. When my stepbrother, Elec, came to live with us my senior year, I wasn't prepared for how much of a jerk he'd be. I hated that he took it out on me because he didn't want to be here. I hated that he brought girls from our high school back to his room. But what I hated the most was the unwanted way my body reacted to him.

Story
A sexy agent hounds Wall Street's hottest new wolf in an exhilarating novel from New York Times best-selling author Lauren Layne. Ian Bradley is the definition of a Wall Street hotshot: seven-figure salary, designer suits, and a corner office. His drive off the floor is just as potent. Every woman who knows him has felt the rush. But now he's met his match in Lara McKenzie - a woman with the power to bring Ian to his knees. An ambitious, whip-smart daughter of FBI agents, Lara is a rising star in fighting white-collar crime.
Publisher's Summary
The first time I met Brody Easton was in the men's locker room. It was my first interview as a professional sportscaster. The famed quarterback decided to bare all. And by all, I don't mean he told me any of his secrets. No. The arrogant ass decided to drop his towel just as I asked the first question. On camera.
The Super Bowl MVP quickly adopted a new hobby: screwing with me. When I pushed back, he shifted from wanting to screw with me to wanting to screw me. But I don't date players. And it's not because I'm one of the few women working in the world of professional football. I'd date an athlete. It's the other kind of player I don't date. You know the type. Good looking, strong, cocky, always looking to get laid.
Brody Easton was the ultimate player. Every woman wanted to be the one to change him. But the truth was, all he needed was a girl worth changing for. Turned out I was that girl. Simple, right? Let's face it. It never is.
There's a story between once upon a time and happily ever after...and this one is ours.
Contains mature themes.

A not so simple but sweet story of enduring love
Vi Keeland has a way of writing that will completely ensnare you. Without knowing it, I got completely engrossed and rooted for the main characters. Along the way, there were some other people who came into play but being a true romantic at heart, I couldn't help but want Delilah and Brody to end up together.
The narrator did a great job truly "becoming" the main characters. This isn't my idea of a fairy tale story of love but it comes awfully close.... two thumbs up Vi!!!

I Want The Cover For A Screen Saver
The description of the book covers the first few chapters. It made me think this was a cookie cutter story of the cocky bad boy chases the girl who won't drop to her knees at first meeting. Although this does happen it's just the shell of the story.
Brody is dealing with Willow a childhood to teenage lost love. Willow kept disappearing due to her drug abuse. After being gone for four years she reappears and wants Brody. Delilah is dealing with her own lost love. Her fiance Drew died 7 years ago in an accident and she's afraid of falling in love again, thinking she's betraying Drew. There's also Marlene, Willow's grandmother, whom Brody takes care of.
There's a lot fun sexual banter between Brody and Delilah. Brody is the typical male always throwing sexual innuendo's into the conversation. You can't help but like him. I also liked Indie, Delilah's friend. Indie just says it like it is.
This book took me on an emotional roller coaster of fun, lust, jealousy, loss of love, grief, and found love. It moves along nicely without a lot a internal angst.
Vi Keeland is fast becoming a favorite author. I have several of her books now and she makes sure she has the cream-of-the-crop performers for her books. Mackenzie Cartwright and Sean Crisden gave a fabulous performance.
Is it worth a credit....Yes, but I got it on sale for under $10. It was a steal of a buy but I would have used a credit. This is a book I will listen to over and over.
Oh..just an fyi....I did snip the cover and it's now my new phone screen saver, for now.

DNF
Three Audible hours into this story (out of 8 hours 50 mins) and I had to stop. I'm usually forgiving of a flawed hero, but Brody was unattractive to me because he treated the heroine, Delilah with disdain and contempt on more than one occasion while she interviewed him on live TV, and then expected her to date him. And his behaviour wasn't explained and didn't improve - at least, not during the hours I listened.
Sean Crisden, one of my favourite narrators, is flawless and perfect for Brody's voice, and his performance made me wonder if there was more to the offensive football playing Brody. Sean Crisden is the reason I listened as long as I did. Could there be hidden depth there? A tragic history he covers with a veneer of sexual aggression?
Mackenzie Cartwright narrates heroine Delilah's POV and does a good job too. She is also responsible for the voice of a new female character introduced part way through the novel who also tells the story from her own POV chapters. But there's no change in the narrator's voice so she sounds like Delilah. Why not use a second female narrator?
As good as they were, neither Sean Crisden nor Mackenzie Cartwright could engage me with this book - the story-line, regrettably, was not for me.
My recommendation is that it is worth reading the Amazon.com Kindle sample chapters for this book to help with the decision about purchasing it (I neglected to do that). The Kindle sample is longer than the Audible sample and you get a better idea for the tone of the story; and about the characteristics of the hero and heroine. It might be just right for you, but it was not a good fit for me. If you decide to purchase this novel, then I recommend the Audible version for the good narration.

Good story- Definitely good for some laughs
That opening scene when he drops his towel was hilarious. I also love our heroine's penchant for utilizing people's initials. I giggled every time Mr. CUM entered the scene- so funny, and it was endearing that she called the security guard HI.
I enjoyed falling for Brody, as he started out so cocky and as we get to know him, realize there is a reason for everything he has done. I like when I can follow that development of the character especially when you start out wanting to slap him!
I enjoyed this book immensely and was a perfect light listen during a recent road trip.

Brode Easton!
I picked up The Baller because I wanted an easy, light hearted break in between some deeper listens I have been purchasing. That was not what this book was at all!!
Yes, it was funny and sexy and sassy and crass... All the things I had been looking for, but it was actually an emotional read as well! Maybe it's because I'm premenstrual, maybe it's because Vi is good at tugging at heart strings, but I was really impressed by the content of this audio.
I may not have been looking for this book, but I think this book was looking for me. I absolutely loved it.
Mackenzie was a dream narrator. When things got intense, her voice was so honest. I absolutely adore her. Sean was a great sexy, football playin, cocky, perv but his chick voice?? Omg. Nails on a chalkboard.

It was nice
This was a very typical Vi Leeland book. Two highly gorgeous characters that can't wait to jump one another, they just have a few hurdles to overcome before lust can turn into love.
I enjoyed listening and some parts made me feel very warm and fuzzy. If being honest, I would find myself becoming a bit bored and wishing that I had it in paperback rather than audio so that I could flick and skip.
The voice actors were okay and didn't distract too much from the story line, my only negatives are; the female voice, when she swaps between Delilah and Willow (two female leads, who have whole chapters in their pov) there is no alteration to her voice, which therefore threw me off a little when the POV's switched.
Personally I found the male voice quite irritating at times and nasally when putting on a girls voice. I didn't look forward to chapters where he spoke.
Overall very nice story. But I won't be rushing back to re-read just yet.

AMAZING READ!!
I loved this book! The story is one of those really cute books. I am not kidding, this book left me feeling so buoyant that it probably isn’t healthy. The epilogue in this series is definitely one that ends the story well and adds the mushy feeling inside, but the good kind of mushy. With this story it reveals comedy as well as heartbreak and left me feeling like I had just gone through a rollercoaster of emotions. While there is comedy, it is also really insightful into life choices which is what added a bit of extra awesomeness into it. After having read this, it is one book that I would recommend to anyone who liked this kind of genre or if they wanted to try the genre out. It was an amazing book and I absolutely loved it!!

Hot Hot Hot than warm
The Baller started off with hot chemistry and lots of hot banner between the two main character, than the book flattened out and turned warm. The narrators did a really good job bring the book to life. An OK story in the end.
