[Release Blitz + Review] The Player in New Zealand by Liz Alden


THE PLAYER IN NEW ZEALAND by Liz Alden is LIVE!!



ABOUT THE BOOK.

That surly ex-rugby player making a ruckus in the dark corner of the bar I work at? Yeah, I try to avoid him. Too bad he's my boss.

I thought I was grumpy AF but I've met my match. Tane has two moods when I see him  in the bar he co-owns with his sister: grouchy in a dark corner or reliving his rugby days with a rowdy group that likes to cause trouble. I try to avoid him at all costs—the last thing I need is more male drama in my life after my stalker ex. He's why I came to New Zealand—to escape.

When my closest friend in the country—who happens to be Tane's sister—asks me for a huge favor, I can't say no. Now I'm Tane's fake date to a family wedding, and it turns out he is trying to turn his life around.

Adventuring around New Zealand opens my eyes to more than just Lord of the Rings fandom and sheep. I didn't expect to fall in love with the country...or Tane.

The fourth in the Love and Wanderlust series, The Player in New Zealand is two grumps having a meet-hate before a fake date pushes them together.  This standalone contemporary romance is perfect for everyone who wants their wanderlust to continue into the happily-ever-after.

MY REVIEW.

4 Stars from Tiffany!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sweet Romance and More

Liz Aden gives her readers a sweet romance with The Player in New Zealand. We meet Claire and Tane, a little bit of an opposites attract couple.

Tane (whose name I mispronounced in my head constantly) is a retired rugby player that owns a bar with his sister. He was forced to retire due to an injury, so now he spends his days drinking and wallowing. Not a great catch on the surface. Claire is from the United States and landed in New Zealand because that's as far as she could go with the money she borrowed from her sister. She's a bartender and ends up at the bar owned by Tane and his sister Nina. Claire is a perfect fit at the bar for everybody but Tane.

It's pretty obvious what was going to go down with Tane and Claire, so my focus was on why Claire was so far away from her home town of Boston and that's where I hoped our angst was going to...not to sound so cynical, but where the wrench was going to be thrown into this little relationship thing. While I'm all for sunshine and rainbows, I do like a cloud here and there to make things interesting. While Claire does have a past, it was glossed over pretty quickly.

The book is well written and there's noting like a gruff on the outside and teddy bear on the inside guy to keep me interested. While the relationship was easy, it was a great read to see how they get there. While this is Love and Wanderlust book four, it reads as a standalone with a great cast of characters to keep the story moving.




MEET LIZ ALDEN.

I've spent the past five years traveling the world with my husband on our sailboat. I have so many stories to share of grand adventures, beautiful places, and the love that's found along the way.

While I've been happily married for over ten years, the stories from our friends of meeting each other and falling in love have inspired me. I hope to show through my stories that the world is both a large and a small place, and that love can be found everywhere.

We still live the vagabond life on our sailboat.  When I miss terra firma, I read in my hammock, slip into the water for a snorkel, or watch the sunset over a glass of wine.
