Synopsis

I’m so fucking pissed off that she would do this to me. I really thought we had something, but instead, I’m left feeling like an idiot. All I want to do is go back home and forget the last few weeks ever happened, but I’m stuck in this stupid country teaching tennis to spoiled rich kids who care less about playing than I do. All I want to do is forget about her. But things are never that easy, are they?

MY OPINION OF WILDCARD 2

Our favourite tennis player and naughty boy Ryan Stevens is so mad that he's fuming. After that shocking ending in episode 1, he feels humiliated by a dream turned into nightmare. And it was so fun seeing him so down. Yes, I'm mean. Poor fellow, I really wanted to cuddle him. At first, Ryan makes a mess of himself, it's rather sad and hilarious at the same time.

His fury at the injustice of his situation, though, takes a nasty turn when an exploding moment with Scarlett makes it impossible for them to see the truth of their relationship. It was  all quite dramatic and exciting. I liked that turn of events a lot. Very emotional, and hot too, and then the dangerous element that appeared at the end of episode one starts to show its ugly head.

Scarlett is in deep trouble. I felt for her as it's no fault of hers, or so it may seem. It was so mysterious. While this threat from the past in haunting her, she has wonderful moments with Ryan, sweet and sexy.

There is also a particular conversation among Ryan, and his friend Josh and his girlfriend Charlotte, that was funny and thought-provoking. She talks too much about certain things guys apparently don't want to talk about and she raises awareness about the fact that if they did, maybe things of the intimate kind would be clearer. Food for thought. I'd love to have that conversation in real life ;o)

I couldn't have foreseen the path the plot took when I was reading the first part of Wildcard. This story is unfolding in a very unexpected and strange fashion, and it's getting more thrilling by the minute.

Both Ryder and Scar are going to make big mistakes. Let's see if they can make it out of them in one piece.

A Wildcard of a man + giveaway



Let's welcome WILDCARD, ladies, he's the kind of man who thinks he has everything under control: a player in the tennis court and around women. However, he's about to find himself losing more than a game.

Synopsis

246.

That's the number of women I've shagged in the last twelve months.

I'm Ryder Stevens.

Don't pretend you don't know me. I'm a god.

I'm hot, I'm British and I take what I want. I'm also the number one ranked tennis player in the world. But it's my off court antics that gain the most attention. I cruise through life, running from one scandal to the next. Hell I can't even take a piss without the world knowing about it.

Rules? Who gives a shit?

Rules are there to be broken and I'm the king of breaking them.

But even the king can be bought to his knees. I'm sidelined with an injury that changes everything.

Maybe my life isn't so perfect after all...


MY OPINION


Playful, funny, and seriously hot.

Who is Ryder?

- British tennis player, handsome, a bit of an asshole, but not too much, he's just free and honest about it.

Best asset: he always wins

Known for: best orgies before final match in the morning

Latest news: can't play anymore, tennis or anything else, because he broke his ass.

Oh, poor Ryder, he's so sexy and unencumbered that he does as he pleases. And what he does most of the time is please himself with women and not playing by the rules.

The press crucifies him when he has an accident hours before the final match in France. With all the time in the world to ponder his choices, he comes across a fan letter that changes everything.

What a refreshing story! I loved how Ryder meets those people who are going to change his view on things, including himself. It's so original and funny. It gets really sweet when he starts developing this kind of long-distance banter-slash-game over the phone with a very special someone.

Then something that was born out of boredom turns into a selfless and beautiful situation that surprised me a lot. Also, it ends with a spicy and bittersweet note that is the perfect setting for the next episode. Nice!
