If you love a good NA sports romance with enough angst to make your heart clench than look no further than Cam and Blair。 These two are all that and more。 This is book 2 in the Players series and Monica delivers an unputdownable brother’s best friends romance。 This is exactly what my little sports romance heart needed。

Cam and Blair's story had great characters， and great writing。 They shouldn't be together because he's best friends with her brother， but there is an undeniable connection between them。 They have known each other for years， so it was interesting seeing their relationship develop into something new。 The book hooked me from the beginning and I didn't want to put it down。Monica Murphy can write some of the best New Adult romance and this is one of her best！Thank you to the author for providing an A Cam and Blair's story had great characters， and great writing。 They shouldn't be together because he's best friends with her brother， but there is an undeniable connection between them。 They have known each other for years， so it was interesting seeing their relationship develop into something new。 The book hooked me from the beginning and I didn't want to put it down。Monica Murphy can write some of the best New Adult romance and this is one of her best！Thank you to the author for providing an ARC for an honest review。 。。。more

4。5stars- PLAYING BY THE RULES is the second instalment in Monica Murphy’s contemporary， new adult THE PLAYERS erotic， football romance series， a second generation series， set in the author’s ONE WEEK GIRLFRIEND series。 This is twenty-two year old， college quarterback Camden ‘Cam’ Fields， and twenty-one year old Blair Maguire’s story lines。 Blair is the sister of Knox Maguire （Playing Hard to Get 1）， and the daughter of Owen and Chelsea。 PLAYING BY THE RULES can be read as a stand alone without 4。5stars- PLAYING BY THE RULES is the second instalment in Monica Murphy’s contemporary， new adult THE PLAYERS erotic， football romance series， a second generation series， set in the author’s ONE WEEK GIRLFRIEND series。 This is twenty-two year old， college quarterback Camden ‘Cam’ Fields， and twenty-one year old Blair Maguire’s story lines。 Blair is the sister of Knox Maguire （Playing Hard to Get 1）， and the daughter of Owen and Chelsea。 PLAYING BY THE RULES can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty。 Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary。NOTE:All of the events of PLAYING BY THE RULES cross over with， and run parallel to all of the events of book one PLAYING HARD TO GET-Knox and Joanna’s story line。Told from dual first person perspectives （Cam and Blair） PLAYING BY THE RULES focuses on the building but forbidden relationship between twenty-two year old， college quarterback Camden ‘Cam’ Fields， and twenty-one year old Blair Maguire。 Blair and Camden have been dancing around one another for as long as our heroine can remember but Camden is best friends with Blair’s brother Knox， and Knox has declared Blair off limits to the entire football team。 Camden doesn’t want to push Knox out of his life but his attraction to Blair is palpable and strong。 Sneaking around behind Knox’s back makes Blair feel like Camden’s dirty little secret， and Camden believes himself unworthy of Blair or love。 What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Cam and Blair， and the potential fall-out as Cam struggles with demons from his past， and Blair refuses to be hidden behind closed doors。The relationship between Cam and Blair is a forbidden， best friend’s sister relationship which Cam and Blair fear the ire of Knox Maguire。Knox is adamant about protecting his sister from his teammates and friends， and in this his constant reminders are about to push Camden out of Blair’s life。 The $ex scenes are intimate， erotic and passionate without the use of over the top， sexually graphic language and text。Once again， there is a large ensemble cast of colorful secondary and supporting characters including Blair’s parents Owen and Chelsea; her brother Knox and girlfriend Joanna， and their sister Ruby; Joanna’s roommate Natalie， Blair’s roommates Rita and Cheyenne; as well as Cam’s teammates Ace and Derek。 Ruby and Ace’s story line is next。PLAYING BY THE RULES is a story of family and friendships， secrets and lies， love and acceptance。 The fast paced， character driven premise is captivating and engaging; the romance is seductive and emotional; the characters are charismatic and dynamic。www。thereadingcafe。com 。。。more

First off I want to say I enjoy books by this author so this was an excellent story。 I enjoyed the characters of Blair & Cam。 Their story was one that had me hooked in from the first page。 Their story gave me all the feels。 I loved the brothers-best friend troupe。 It was such a fun read。 I was rooting for both Cam & Blair and they are two characters that will definitely stick with me for awhile。 Strong characters and a fantastic story。

If you read Knox and Joanna’s story you had the chance to see some snips of Cam and Blair and now you get all the parts。 Blair is Knox’s sister and Camden is his best friend。 The moment Blair meets Cam she is smitten but Cam doesn’t want to compromise his friendship so puts her in the “don’t touch” box but clearly doesn’t put the cover on tight enough because he can’t ignore her。 Blair is everything he wants and doesn’t think he deserves。 Blair believes inn Cam even when he doesn’t believe in hi If you read Knox and Joanna’s story you had the chance to see some snips of Cam and Blair and now you get all the parts。 Blair is Knox’s sister and Camden is his best friend。 The moment Blair meets Cam she is smitten but Cam doesn’t want to compromise his friendship so puts her in the “don’t touch” box but clearly doesn’t put the cover on tight enough because he can’t ignore her。 Blair is everything he wants and doesn’t think he deserves。 Blair believes inn Cam even when he doesn’t believe in himself and that is part of what pushes them apart for a while。 Cam and Blair start out slow and build but as any relationship that has to be hidden goes someone gets tired of being the secret and Blair walks away telling Cam to get it together。 Cam has to figure out himself and his demons before he can even try to win Blair back （and in style）。 Improved this book not was such a fun quick read and the timeline overlaps Knox’s story so you see a different view of them in this book。 Must read story that keeps you looked to the very end。 Can’t wait for the next one。 。。。more

Blair and Cam are such a great duo！ Blair has been crushing on Cam from the first time they met。 Knox， Blair’s brother and Cams best friend， has made it abundantly clear to all that Blair is off limits。 So when Blair starts college， she is determined to pursue Cam and make him hers。 This book had so much packed in it， and I expect nothing less from Monica！ Blair was such a strong character and she really compliments Cam。 Their love is evident even through the tough times。I absolutely love Monica Blair and Cam are such a great duo！ Blair has been crushing on Cam from the first time they met。 Knox， Blair’s brother and Cams best friend， has made it abundantly clear to all that Blair is off limits。 So when Blair starts college， she is determined to pursue Cam and make him hers。 This book had so much packed in it， and I expect nothing less from Monica！ Blair was such a strong character and she really compliments Cam。 Their love is evident even through the tough times。I absolutely love Monica Murphy and Playing By The Rules did not disappoint！ It’s definitely a book to read！ 。。。more

Thank you so much to @valentine_pr_ & @monicamurphyauthor for the chance to read this ARC ❤️ Brothers best friend has 𝗔𝗟𝗪𝗔𝗬𝗦 been a favourite trope of mine。 This one ticked all the boxes and then some。 🫶Cam & Blair are that forbidden fruit couple。 They're not supposed to want each other， they're not supposed to be drawn to each other like magnets but they are and they both know its inevitable。 Their relationship evolves in such a way that you cannot help yourself but fall in love alongside them。 Thank you so much to @valentine_pr_ & @monicamurphyauthor for the chance to read this ARC ❤️ Brothers best friend has 𝗔𝗟𝗪𝗔𝗬𝗦 been a favourite trope of mine。 This one ticked all the boxes and then some。 🫶Cam & Blair are that forbidden fruit couple。 They're not supposed to want each other， they're not supposed to be drawn to each other like magnets but they are and they both know its inevitable。 Their relationship evolves in such a way that you cannot help yourself but fall in love alongside them。 They have impeccable 👌 chemistry and the spice is ** chefs kiss ** I find myself needing to know more about not only the MCs but the other characters too。 This is book two in an interconnected series of crossover characters & I'm not joking when I say I'm officially a fan and will be catching up on a back log of Monica's books 😀 。。。more
