I don’t know if enough can be said about Brody Easton and just how much I loved this freaking book.
Brody comes across like an arrogant, self-absorbed football who expects women to drop to their knees and worship the ground that he walks on. Or at least that’s the way he makes it appear when he meets Delilah Maddox, a new sports reporter covering the team. But Brody soon discovers that he loves the fact that Delilah doesn’t do what everyone else does and that he finally has met his match. Delilah has something to prove. To the guys at her paper, the guys in the locker room and to herself. She isn’t about to let someone like Brody make her look (and sometimes feel) like an idiot. These two has some pretty spectacular verbal altercations until they figure out that what they’ve been doing is their version of foreplay.
There was so much more to Brody. He may have appeared one way, but we soon discover they is a guy who will do just about anything for the people he loves. He proves is with Marlene, Grouper and to a point Willow. But I don’t think its until there is the possibility that he could lose Delilah that he realizes exactly what he’d do if it meant she’d be in his life forever.
Delilah had to learn how to trust, which was hard to do with someone as famous as Brody (and women falling in his path). It was hard for her to believe that he could want someone like her. That caused a bit of an issue for them, especially when she was quick to believe what she thought she saw instead of believing in what she and Brody had. When she finally did believe, she knew Brody would always be there for her.
I haven’t read a Vi Keeland book that I haven’t loved and THE BALLER is no exception. The sexiness of the hero, the chemistry between the couple and a storyline that also keeps you wanting more are things you can always look forward too. Brody is one hero you will definitely be adding to your Book Boyfriend list.
Meet Brody Easton in THE BALLER!

Excerpt from
A new song had just started, and I was enjoying his company when a voice behind me said, “Can I cut in?”
My head whipped around, even though I had no doubt whom the gravelly voice belonged to.
Michael was gracious. “I hate to share. But I suppose I have been hogging the most beautiful woman at the event.” He let go of my hand and stepped back with a gentlemanly nod. “Thank you for the dance, Delilah.”
Again Brody Easton had caught me off guard. Before I knew it, I was dancing with the arrogant jerk. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled my body tight against his. Way tighter than Michael had held me.
“Good to see you again, Lois Lane.”
The man had balls; I had to give him that. I looked him straight in the eyes. “Nice to see you with clothes on, Easton.”
“Do you prefer me without?”
“I prefer you on the other side of the room.”
He chuckled. It was a hearty laugh. “That’s what happens sometimes when you decide you want to hang out in the men’s locker room.”
I tried to pull back, but he tightened his grip and held me in place. I craned my neck. “Let go of me.”
“No.”
“No?”
“That’s right. No.”
“I can scream at the top of my lungs.”
“I’d like to hear you scream.” His tone made it clear he meant he wanted me underneath him while I was doing the screaming.
“You’re an asshole. You know that?”
“I do. You asked me that yesterday. For a reporter, you should really try changing up your questions more frequently.”
My eyes bulged.
Easton shifted his hand down to the small of my back before twirling us around the dance floor. Figures the prick can dance.
“Are you seeing anyone?”
“You can’t be serious?”
He ignored my comment. “Would you like to have dinner tonight?”
“We just ate.”
“Dessert at my place, then?”
I couldn’t help but laugh. “Did you hit your head at the game yesterday?”
“On a diet, huh?”
“Yeah. That’s it. I don’t want to go to your place for dessert because I’m on a diet.”
“Well, that’s just a shame.”
