4.5 dirty talking stars!

Another great read from Vi!

Brody & Delilah made such a HOT couple...

An interview in the locker room is the launch of a sexual chemistry that sparks as soon as they set eyes on each other.
What ensues is an attraction that is stronger than either is willing to admit...

I loved the sexual innuendo during interviews and the hilarious banter the two exchanged...which led to some extremely HOT sex scenes...the wall sex
was my personal favorite...(I wouldn't mind my own Brody).... ...more

The Baller is told through the POV's of Delilah and Easton (there's a 3rd POV as well, but I'll leave that discovery to you).

Delilah Maddox is about to enter the New York Steel locker room for just the second time in her professional career. Brody Easton is back from an injury and has never been shy about how he feels about women in the locker room. So, Delilah does what any fierce woman would do, stands up a bit straighter and goes for it. While her plan is to look Brody in the eyes and prove that she certainly belongs, her plan is derailed as soon as Brody drops his towel and shows just why his nickname is "Subway".

Brody knows what he wants as soon as he lays his eyes (and cock) on the beautiful Delilah Maddox and it's to get her in his bed and quick. Unfortunately for him, Delilah is not a hit it and quit it type of gal and unfortunately for Delilah, Brody isn't really a relationship type of guy. While the sexual tension may be clawing at their libidos, Delilah and Brody decide to just be friends. That is until they decide that the best place to be friends is under the sheets and maybe a relationship will work after all.

I should probable give you a bit of a backstory on Brody. Not much of one, because his is a story that will slowly get uncovered and I should not be the one to uncover it all for you. When Brody was a kiddo, his mom passed from cancer. His next door neighbor, Marlene stepped in and filled the maternal role that was missing in Brody's life. Now Marlene is suffering from Dementia and is in a nursing home. Brody visits her every Tuesday like clockwork. The last tidbit I will give you is this. . .Willow is Marlene's granddaughter and Brody's ex. I know, I know, random fact, but you'll get it once you indulge.

Your high school science class has nothing on the chemistry between Delilah and Brody. That is really what The Baller is. . .a story of two people who are very much magnetically drawn to one another in every way possible, but have to learn to let go, in order to move forward. Love is unforgiving when it knows what it wants.

The Baller is a very well-rounded book when it comes to the supporting cast. Delilah and Brody each have their own stories that involve it's own set of characters (really way more Brody than Delilah) and those characters are almost as captivating as our two leading ones are. Yes, The Baller is a funny and sexy story of two people falling for one another, but it's the in between, the layers that are going to keep you turning those pages and have you falling.

Throw me up against the wall and rip away my panties. . .the sex in The Baller is everything you'd expect it to be based on the cover from above. I've been on a hockey boyfriend kick lately, but the very sexy Brody Easton has me wanting to line up as a center. . .a lot. It's the combination of sexual tension combined with dirty talk (my favorite) combined with the actual fucking that makes it all very. . .raw.

This isn't the first book (and won't be the last) I've read by Vi Keeland (it is the first I've reviewed though) and each time, I'm captivated. I read this book in a day, putting it down wasn't really a possibility. Cover to cover, I was hooked. Go ahead, one click it (the book, I mean), Brody Easton is waiting.

Edible Easton

***ARC provided in exchange for an honest review***

I have to hand it to Vi Keeland this book was just the pick me up I need to start my reading adventure in the new year. Brody is one cocky son of gun and knows how to use it. Brody wasn't looking for his HEA he just wanted a bit of fun. I'm so glad he gets both of them in the form of a take no prisoner reporter by the name of Delilah. From their first moment of meeting she gets more than a eyeful and from there it spirals it to what ...more
