Title: Top Shelf Stud
Series: Chicago Players #3
Author: Kate Meader
REVIEW:
4.5 Stars
This is the third book in the series and my new favorite so far. I love Jason and Franky so much. I'm one of those readers that love a brainiac/nerdy character and sports jock character falling for one another. That opposites attract trope is one of my faves. I give major props to Franky for having a plan and going after her dreams. Jason is prime book boyfriend material. It’s not a stretch to imagine since Theo is his brother. Franky and Jason might have started the journey has contractual, but each of them really getting to know one another takes them a whole new level. Jason easily has this reader won over by how he is with Franky's cats I never stood a chance of not liking him. Then how he steps up to be there for Franky, game over. The Rebels have such a great cast of character and I'm really loving this next generation of them. I love we still get to see some of the OGs. Still getting a good amount of Theo makes me so happy. This book was such a joy to read. It delivers on the heat, heart, and humor. I can't wait for the next book because it sounds like it's going to be a wild ride.
BLURB:
The snail doc wants a baby. I volunteered to do the deed. But it isn’t long before I realize a “donation” will never be enough. I want to be a dad, but most of all, I want her.
Franky
When confronted with the cold, hard facts of her diminishing chances to be a mom, what’s a woman of science to do?
Make a spreadsheet of eligible donors, of course.
Finding a man for life is not in the cards, but one for this singular purpose? I can do that. As the daughter of a Chicago Rebels legend and an expert in the field of gastropods—more commonly known as snails and slugs—I have plenty of choices in the worlds of both hockey and academia. The selection process should be easy, especially as my methodology has already eliminated several options, including Jason Isner, childhood nemesis and recently acquired defenseman for the Rebels. I’ve always considered him arrogant, cruel, and to be honest, not the brightest bulb.
I’m rarely wrong. But I might have been mistaken about Jason . . .
Jason
I surprised even myself when I offered to be Franky St. James’s baby daddy, but fatherhood has been a dream of mine forever. If I can achieve my goal without the hassle of a relationship, even better. I won’t be one of those “pump and dump” donors, though. I want the whole package: nighttime feedings, shopping for cute onesies, teaching my kid to skate. I’m in it for life, and as Franky and I travel this road together, I start to imagine what that life might look like. Not just a baby, but a family of my own.
The thing is, the doc has all sorts of hypotheses about jocks and relationships, and it’s going to take a lot of persuasion—sexy and otherwise—to prove her wrong. She might think the mating rituals of her beloved snails are the only “coupling” worth studying, but I’m determined to show her that when it comes to seeking a mate, this player is as driven as any species in the animal kingdom.
Because making a baby is just the beginning . . .
