Publisher Description
From the author of Slow Heat, The Trouble with Paradise, and the Lucky Harbor novels...
Pace Martin is the ace pitcher for the Pacific Heat. He's got the arm, the experience and the wins. He's also got the pain, the pressure, and the possible end of his career looming over him. The last thing he needs now is a distraction, even if it comes in the form of a tough, beautiful, tell-it-like-it-is writer who sees past his defenses.
Holly Hutchins knows a good story when she sees one, and the tall, dark and slightly attitude-ridden Pace Martin fits the bill. But when she realizes there’s more at stake than just the win, she starts to notice the handsome broad-shouldered jock in a different light.
Pace and Holly begin a seductive game in which neither wants to drop the ball, but in the face of an unexpected betrayal and challenge, they’ll have to find the courage to swing for the fences…
Customer Reviews
A great beginning to the series!
I didn't expect to be taken in by a story within the world of baseball, but Jill Shalvis builds such strong characters it would be hard not to be. Her way with humor also takes what could be very superficial characters and rounds them out, giving them distinct voices and interactions. The love story between pitcher Pace and reporter Holly was well told, as was the believable conflicts of interest they both faced. Not quite as good as the second book in the series, Slow Heat, but this is still a fantastic, fun and romantic story!
