Fall Reading Challenge: Title that has 2 words in it
Just one short season ago, major league center fielder John Roper had it all: the looks–and personal life–of a sports hero and the public’s adoration. But this hot property’s lucky streak has run out. After a World Series disaster, fans diss him, shock jocks mock him and his dysfunctional family hassles him for money he really can’t spare. Now it’s up to him, and Hot Zone publicist Amy Stone, to get his life back on track.
Amy finds it’s easier said than done. What with the constant intrusions of his nutty family, a crazed fan playing stalker, and Roper’s refusal to put his own needs first, she’s starting to think that life in the fast lane isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. But when the two retreat to a secluded lodge, the sexy center fielder throws Amy a curveball–one she never saw coming…
REVIEW: First off I have got to kudos to the man on the cover of this book. I told my huscband that he REALLY needed to get a body like this one, whoee. I have read all the books in this series and enjoyed them immensly. This one was no exception. It had all the elements that she has used in her other books in this series, a strong alpha male whose world was crashing around him, a strong but damaged female. I liked John Roper when we were first introduced to him in Micki’s book, and am so glad that he finally got his story. Amy fit in so well with the women in the Hot Zone office also. For those that haven’t checked out this series do, you won’t be disappointed.
