You can always trust in Nikki to deliver the heart and gut wrenching moments as well as the heartfelt and emotional one. And even though I've Nikki's entire backlog and more or less knew what to expect, this story STILL blew me away.
Told in dual POV, the story follows Harper and Landon, from the high school, innocent first love to a scorching hot, soul mending, second chance! When they first fell in love, the forever kind of love but life threw then a few curveballs that tore them apart and changed the course of their lives forever. Meddling friends and fate brings them back together and it's like the last almost 13 years never happened. They picked up right where they left off. And I BELIEVED that! The writing was THAT good and the chemistry between the main characters was off the charts.
The story was heartfelt and raw and emotional and sizzling hot and it got to me right in the feels. Reading the Clutch Player had me feeling content for some unexplainable reason, but I won't question it. I just need more of that.
It was so so nice seeing Bridgett and Simon again after reading the British Bedmate a few years back, one of my favourites in the OG Cocky series. And Vi and Penelope's characters and universe were woven into the story so seamlessly and so true, that you really didn't notice that they were written by a different author or that they were name-dropped on purpose.
All in all, I really enjoyed Nikki Ash's venture into the Cocky Hero universe and it was a worthy entry to the new Club!!! I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have Hunter's story and fingers crossed we get it.
Clutch Player is a second-chance, single parent standalone book part of the new Cocky Hero Club Series.
