Frankie's marriage didn't turn out the way he had hoped for. He is now a widower and has finally managed to take care of the financial nightmare his husband had left him. Then he realizes his husband's bff might fit the bill for that relationship he was looking for.
From The Player blurb:
Frankie Bishop had only been married for a few months when he became a widower, leaving him with a mountain of debts, a business on the edge of ruin, and a parrot called Hank Marvin.
Three years later, the business is finally thriving, and Frankie finds himself ready to look for love again. It comes as a complete surprise to discover that he’s developed feelings for Con — his late husband’s best friend and now Frankie’s business partner.
Why did he overlook the gorgeous man who's been by his side through everything? Even more importantly, how can he tell Con about his feelings when Con seems to have suddenly found love with another man?
Reed Kaye's review:
I’m reviewing the audio edition.
Even though this is a short story it covered all the needed elements of a friend to lover story. Fun, romantic story.
Frankie is a widow and that marriage was short lived yet long enough to put Frankie in a mountain of debt. He has worked his way out and has a little breathing room. He has his nosy neighbors, a home and a parrot. He is also in business with his husband’s bff.
Con has been in business with Frankie but also has an attraction to him. When circumstances change and the two guys face the issue of attraction things change in a good way.
I enjoyed this story. It had all the elements of being able to see Frankie and Con’s lives. The ending is perfect.
I really appreciate the narration by Joel Leslie. Being an American sometimes I find the narration hard to understand or keep up with. Not so with Joel Leslie. His lyrical narration brought the story to life for me. I will listen to more by him.
The Player is currently available as an audiobook, e-book and paperback
