Review: The Baller by Vi Keeland

The first time I met Brody Easton was in the men’s locker room.
It was my first interview as a professional sportscaster.
The famed quarterback decided to bare all.
And by all, I don’t mean he told me any of his secrets.
No. The arrogant ass decided to drop his towel, just as I asked the first question. On camera.
The Super Bowl MVP quickly adopted a new hobby—screwing with me.
When I pushed back, he shifted from wanting to screw with me, to wanting to screw me.
But I don’t date players.
And it’s not because I’m one of the few women working in the world of professional football.
I’d date an athlete.
It’s the other kind of player I don’t date.
You know the type. Good looking, strong, cocky, always looking to get laid.

Brody Easton was the ultimate player.
Every woman wanted to be the one to change him.
But the truth was, all he needed was a girl worth changing for.
Turned out, I was that girl.
Simple right?
Let’s face it. It never is.
There’s a story between once upon a time and happily ever after…
And this one is ours.

The Baller is a sexy, romantic comedy about two people who discover that it's okay to open up their hearts. Brody Easton is a sexy, arrogant, crass,towel dropping alpha who has met his match.  Delilah is a reporter who has worked her way into the men's locker room and now has to prove herself. 

I fell in love with Brody from the first towel drop. He has a complicated past that almost ended his football career. However he was able to get back on track and decided to put relationships behind him until Delilah walked into his locker room. He went all in, gave her a full view of his ‘subway’ and the chase began.. Delilah also has a painful past, she's now focusing on her career and moving past dating arrogant, crass men.  What's a girl to do the teams MVP goes all in for the chase, she tries not to fall in love. 

I enjoyed that the story is written in both POVs. Each story is well told and feelings well expressed. Delilah’s struggle is heart felt. She has to find the courage to move on and open her heart again. Brody unexpectedly  faces his past and finds closure. 4.5 towel dropping, heart mending stars.
