I chose a championship over love.
When Nova smashed her way into my hardened heart, she showed me there’s more to life than basketball.
She taught me patience and forgiveness. With her help, my Kodiak teammates became brothers instead of rivals. For the first time, I cared about more than a game.
But one mistake sent me crashing from all-star to rock bottom.
Broken inside and out, there’s no one to blame but myself.
I won’t let the people I love suffer for my mistakes, on or off the court. I’ll win back the brothers who trusted me, the city that backed me, and the woman I don’t want to live without.
Unless I’m too late.
I have one last shot. One last chance.
Countdown's on, and I’m playing for keeps.

Play Maker is the third and final book in the King of the Court series. Clay and Nova’s steamy, addictive grumpy sunshine sports romance begins in Game Changer and continues in Shot Taker.

The epic conclusion is finally here. I have loved this series from the beginning—cliffhangers that nearly killed me and all. This couple has been through so much and I was so happy to finally get my hands on this book.

The grass is not always greener on the other side—something that Clay will learn the hard way. I loved that Nova was finally in her own element—following her man out to LA, finding her own friends, and really living her life and enjoying her art. It’s Clay’s turn to realize who he is and that maybe all the dreams that he has been hoping and wishing for are not what they are all cracked up to be. Maybe the most important thing has been in front of him this whole time—namely the love of his life and the love of his career—playing ball with his friends.

I enjoyed watching Clay’s journey and growth most especially watching him grow as a teammate. I LOVED LOVED seeing characters from Lawson’s other series. If you love sports romances, this is a can’t-miss series!
