LUCKY CHARM by Julia London - Baseball players are a
superstitious bunch and nobody knows that better than
Parker Price. Parker has been hired by the New York Mets
for $110 million over seven years because he can hit. Not
lately, though. Parker is in a gigantic slump. It doesn't
help getting awakened each morning by cheerful trash jockey
Kelly O'Shay, of Sports Day with Kelly O'Shay, insulting
the way he's been playing baseball. Parker is convinced
she's jinxed him. Her constant ridicule is killing him.
Little does he know that the person behind that voice is
the one to whom he could lose his heart.
Ms. London hits a grand slam with LUCKY CHARM. It's a fun
and delightful charmer, taking us on a chase around the
bases (collecting a couple of errors along the way), while
we slide into home plate to win the game. And what a game
it is! Don't miss the exciting ending.
SAME RINK, NEXT YEAR by Deirdre Martin - Once a
year, Tierney O'Connor, concierge at a four-star hotel on
Chicago's Miracle Mile, sees David Hewson, goaltender for
the Buffalo Herd hockey team. For three years running,
Tierney and David have enjoyed a one-night, no-strings-
attached tryst. After a night of mind-blowing sex and
making arrangements to meet again the following year, David
prepares to fly with his team to their next game. But this
year is different. David and Tierney wake up to a blizzard
raging outside. Taxis aren't moving, the airport is closed,
and the hockey team is stranded at the hotel with no letup
in sight. David is a superstitious goalie. Any change in
pattern could throw off his balance and affect his game.
Spending more than one night with Tierney is making him
very nervous. The last thing he needs is for him and
Tierney to be a good match outside of the bedroom, as well
as inside. David's dedication to his game could really be
screwed.
Ms. Martin has written another Stanley Cup winner. SAME
TIME, NEXT YEAR is delightful, witty and totally
enthralling. You'll enjoy this wonderful story from first
page to last. Ms. Martin never disappoints readers, and
this story will completely captivate you.
YOU CAN'T STEAL FIRST by Annette Blair -- It's time
Quinn Murdock finds the courage to face her father with her
new career plans. But first her friends think she needs a
rest and a special 30th birthday surprise. They book her
on the "Hot Ticket Express to Spring Training" luxury train
owned by the Boston Red Sox megastar Juan Santiago,
aka "Tiago the Stealer." Can Quinn survive her surprise
along with the handsome, charismatic Latino ballplayer from
her past, whom she's never forgotten? He was her first -- as
she'd also been his -- a powerful bond still lingering in
her heart. This train is full of heartrending surprises. It
turns into the most wondrous of journeys; one you'll long
hold dear in your own heart.
Ms. Blair has gifted us with a unique and heartwarming
story. YOU CAN'T STEAL FIRST captures a secret place, a
private place, a blessed place, a tender place. An
absolutely beautiful story you don't want to miss.
CAN'T CATCH THIS by Geri Buckley -- There's no more
settling for a mediocre love life. Lindy Hamilton is not
looking back but going forward toward new possibilities. In
Row 1, seat 12, on the 25-yard line, things start looking
up. Josh Weldon is a go-to guy, a venture capitalist, a
workaholic and a high-priced middleman with a limited
partnership in the Florida Moccasins, the new home team for
the AFL's Southern Division. He meets Lindy at the first
home game and definitely likes what he sees. He's
spellbound by her fiery red hair along with her strong and
feisty personality. Never has he met a woman who marches
into the men's room at a public sporting event because the
line is too long at the ladies' room. What a woman! There's
some definite mojo working here and the momentum and heat
is picking up speed.
CAN'T CATCH THIS is a delightful story, fun to read -- love
at its best. It'll make you laugh, while it melts your
heart at the same time. You'll be captivated.
They met in the sandbox. She gave him a black eye. It
was a case of love at first smite.
Boston Baseball megastar “Tiago the Stealer” steals
undies, hearts, and bases, like the baseball pro he is ...
but Quinn Murdock's love ... that he has to earn. Join
them for the ride of their lives.
