Title: Player
Author: Laura DeLuca
Publication Date: 12/12/12
Joshua Handover had it all. He was handsome, rich, athletic, and
had always been popular with the ladies. Yet, until he gets paired up
with his beautiful but shy lab partner, Rosa, he never allowed himself
to fall in love. As the chemistry between them grows, Josh realizes that
his player days have come to end. But it seems his change of heart has
come too late. Not only is Rosa leery of his bad boy reputation, he has
four vindictive ex-girlfriends who are on a rampage. At first he doesn’t
take their threats seriously, but then his tires are slashed, someone
tries to poison him, and one of the girls turns up dead. Josh doesn’t
know who to trust, but one thing is certain. It definitely isn’t worth
the price he’s paying to be a player.
Excerpt:
Someone else came over to offer Nadine their congratulations, so Josh
said goodbye and went to his locker to get his backpack. He figured he
would meet up with Andrea and Rosa in the parking lot. He fumbled with
the combination before finally getting the door to swing open. Something
glittered on the top shelf and caught his eye. He reached for it, and a
small scrap of paper fluttered to the floor.
At first he
wasn’t sure what he was holding. It was a pink plastic tiara with some
big gaudy plastic jewels. It was the type of thing he had seen in dollar
stores for little girls’ birthday parties. It was practically broken in
half, and the edges were sharp. Josh pricked his finger on the jagged
point, and a few drops of blood welled from the small wound. He put his
finger in his mouth as he bent to pick up the paper that had fallen.
When he read it, the broken crown suddenly made sense and he wondered
how he could have been so naïve. He should have realized from the
instant he saw it what it meant.
“Josh decided to play around. Now one of his girls is under the ground. Another has a big bump on her head. And by the end of the dance, the queen will be dead.”
I don't know about you but this excerpt has really intrigued me! I'm a sucker for a good romance but this is your chick lit with a twist.. Definitely going to check it out! (‘∀’●)♡
