Soccer goalkeeper, Jaden Sloup, has his eye on Ella Kennedy, a woman who won’t date jocks or frat boys. He dons a pair of nerd glasses and hugs a laptop to convince her he’s a techno geek, and she agrees to go to Las Vegas with him for a cosplay convention where his team’s playoff game happens to be.

Jaden must juggle sizzling in the sheets with Ella against a soccer match and hanging with his frat brother teammates. When a bully harasses Ella and challenges Jaden to a fight, he proves that even a goalie can score.

---
Jaden and Ella are friends of Jax and Kimber from Dani Evan's hottest new adult romance - a story of obsession, passion, and surrender. Will you be The Next Contestant?

Shadowplay

a wickedly delightful and incredibly breathtaking ride

25 January 2016 - Published on Amazon.com

Verified Purchase

Played by Love is a wickedly delightful and incredibly breathtaking ride that proves without a doubt that you can’t play love. No matter how good you think you are at dodging and avoiding the call of love, you will never truly outrun it. With no warning it can easily overtake you until you have no choice but to look it in the eye and face the beautiful music. Why fight it? After all, if you don’t have love in your like what do you have?

Jaden thought he knew what he was doing. He was under the impression that he had a plan all worked out. He would jump in, get the girl, ride the ultimate wave, and then jump back off unscathed and none the worse for wear. What he didn’t expect was Ella. She was more than just the girl he wanted for a short time. She turned into the one that his heart wanted. The one that haunted his mind and starred in his dreams. She made him want and hope and dream when he knew how deadly they were to his plan. Can Jaden follow through on his foolproof plan, or will Ella end up ripping and obliterating his plan into a million pieces? Who will win this battle of wills, the predator or the prey?

Ella and Jaden were unexpectedly refreshing and beautifully raw in their motivations and endeavors. While one was in for fun, the other was willing to risk it all if truly bitten by the love bug. We can never know what we will find out about others, but while we need to keep an open mind, we also need to keep an open heart. True love is a rare and precious gift that needs to be cherished and safeguarded at all costs. Ella proves to be the catalyst that Jaden didn’t know he needed in truly seeing the world around him with a new pair of eyes.

One of my all-time favorite authors is Rachelle Ayala, and she never fails to entertain while also teaching. That’s what I love about her the most. She isn’t afraid to show you that love and honesty don’t taint a life, they allow a life to be set free and enriched. Allowing yourself to heal, feel, and experience is always a good thing because that is what we were made to do.

Cute Short Story!

18 October 2018 - Published on Amazon.com

This a cute short story. Two people can fall in love even though they are from different backgrounds. Ella has stereotyped all guys like Jaden of being an athletic due to a horrible experience with group of athletics. Jaden tries to show Ella that all athletics do not have the same behavior. Ella decides in the end that Jaden has just played her like everyone else and he can’t love a nerd like her. Especially, since he lied to her about who he really is when they first met. She needs to let him go so he can become an awesome soccer player and not worry about her with her dream fantasies. Can Jaden let Ella go and believe she was just living in a fantasy world and he was being played instead?

Jaden! We loved him in TNC :)

Well, of course I love Jaden. He is one of the minor characters in Author Dani Evans "The Next Contestant" and it was fantastic to see Jaden come alive through the eyes of another author. And then we have Ella,
who is not your typical heroine. I found her
light and aloof; a very carefree young
woman. She too makes an appearance in The Next Contestant but it's a very brief encounter. I love how Jaden and Ella's story unfolded and that it was short and sweet with a hint of danger. I really enjoyed the finalle and I've heard there may be more to Kimber and Jax, which may spin off the end of this story! Of course that includes Jaden and his sweetheart Ella :). Bravo Rachelle Ayala for creating a loveable cast and bringing Jaden to life in his own story.

Another winner!

What would you do for lust, or love? Rachelle Ayala has done it again. Her writing talent just continues to grow with every new project. I've not read a lot of novellas, so the fast pace was a bit different for me, but it was a fun romp with all the delicious romance and steam you could ask for. I liked Jaden - a sweet man trying to be a macho frat jock, never suspecting that his plans to woo Ella would turn into anything more than a fun time, especially if she ever discovered the truth about his deception. Ella is great - maybe a bit odd, but in a good way. Funny and someone I could see myself being friends with. I really liked her and wanted her to get a happy ending and be able to put her past troubles behind her.

And when Jaden swoops in to rescue her and they really open up to each other... sigh. I rooted for these two all the way through. Steamy, sexy, and a lot of fun! Can't wait for Rachelle's next book!

Rachelle has captured my heart again!

Jaden and Ella are amazing characters! Jaden is a soccer player looking to score with Ella's. Ella's wants nothing to do with a jock, she prefers her men to be intelligent and slightly geeky.

Jaden decides he has the perfect plan to woo Ella into his bed. Putting on a false look and act he snags her, but he's not prepared for when it all comes tumbling down because Ella claims his heart.

Playing the field got Jaden where he wanted to be; playing with love shows him just own wrong his desires were.

Great characters and story, a fantastic fast read!
