Blurb: He’s riding the bench. She’s living a lie. The game of love is won in extra innings.
Following a terrible tragedy, Rick Taylor is making his comeback to the major leagues… and the dating scene. But years off the roster have left the veteran catcher a little rusty. It’ll take a special woman to heal the heartache of losing his family. But the perfect contender refuses to let him try out…
Single mom Amy Vaughn leads a double life. Between her daytime job and her nightclub gig, she can’t afford to date a famous baseball player… especially when the publicity could bring her dark secret to light. But the handsome catcher’s charms prove too strong to resist.
When old memories and new notoriety threaten to tear them apart, Rick and Amy must learn to drop their defenses, or they’ll miss out on their second chance at love.
Thoughts: This sweet little romance was such a surprise! I’ve not read this author before, but I really enjoyed reading this title. The writing reminds me vaguely of Jaci Burton and Jessica Hawkins, though lower on the steamy scale. I liked the characters and was invested in their romance, and would definitely read this author again. Enjoyable read!
