Non-sports books with player in the title
If you see the word 'player' in a title, is it pretty much expected there will be sports (or video gaming, D&D, etc) inside? When I started this book a loooong time ago, the term player could go either way, but it seems like now the majority of the time it implies the MMC is both a womanizer AND a sports professional of some type. My MMC isn't a sportball (sportpuck?) player at all, but now that it's ready for a cover and I have to commit to a title, I'm having a terrible time giving up the original with 'player' in it.
Soooo... if you see 'player' in a title are you going to be annoyed that it's not a sports romance? Or on the other hand, skim past it if you aren't a sports romance fan? The cover illustration isn't sporty at all.
Also gladly accepting any suggestions for another word for player, though I've done lots of thesaurus type searching. (F*ckboy or man-w**** don't quite fit the vibe, even if I could get them past Amazon. LOL)
