I read many romance novels. Ward and Keeland are two of my favorite authors , together or separate , they write incredible books. To the point, that I wait and save their books when I have time to absorb them as I know there is usually more undercurrent to them.
With that being said, I found this book the same. There is depth to this book in many areas , especially losing a loved one. Going through loss of a loved one and how we all experience it differently. I do not want to give away the plot or spoilers but the essence of the book was so tremendous and strong that it made me write this review, because I found it quite difficult to read poor reviews on a topic that is a part of life . And how we deal with it is personal. Keeland and Ward in my opinion did a wonderful job creating true emotions of the characters feeling loss of a loved one and yet feeling the delicate and and fragile line of loving another. I think it was crafty and well written.
The humor and sexual tension between Hollis and Eloidie was so strong and hot that you could feel the pages sizzling. Now, please, how many authors can do that? Showing their love and trying to hide it in front of Hailey......hilarious!,,, Hailey was perfectly written and smart as a whip ! There was no fooling her! Another well written and truthfully portrayed by the authors.
This book still resonates with me. Days after I read it. I loved the characters. I loved the meaning of love. I loved Huey! The facets of how the book came and pieced itself together was amazing to me. How anyone could give it anything but a 5 star review is beyond me.

You never know who you’ll run into
When Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland write together, magic happens. They have such a great symmetry, their books become rich and multi-layered as a result. Park Avenue Player is no different. Hollis Lacroix is a completely unattainable, emotionally brooding hero whose vulnerability has jaded him into a pretentious jerk. Elodie Atelier is an authentic, “say it like it is”, beautiful, woman who won't be pushed around by ANY pretentious jerk.Hollis’ young niece, Hailey is an integral part of this story. She is literally the reason Hollis and Elodie are brought together at all. With her mother dead many years before and her father (Hollis’ stepbrother) in prison, Hollis is found in the unlikely position of being the only relative to take responsibility for his young niece, Hailey, albeit, not full time.With the help of his best friend and business partner, Addison (who plays a pivotal role as “the voice of reason” for Hollis) he begins searching for a nanny. Elodie answers the ad and comes for the interview but not before she gets in a car accident on the way. To her awful surprise, the interview is with none other than the gorgeous jerk she just ran into with her car mere minutes before.This story has a lot of complex themes running through it which just makes it deep. I am impressed how Penelope and Vi create this slow-burn story with lots of angst. The way these two characters come together is original. I loved the back and forth sexy game Hollis and Elodie engage in, never letting on to the other about what's really going on. It made this book so much fun and exciting to read.When you discover all the love and loss these characters have endured, it explains a lot of the behavior you see in their interactions. But, the plot twist at the end is something I never saw coming. It will blow you away. Some people might think it's a little far-fetched or out of the realm of possibility, but I like to think fiction is what allows you to take risks and for me, it makes for a great story.In the end, the chemistry between Elodie and Hollis is hot, hot, hot and will keep the pages flipping themselves.
