"ALL WOUND UP is a home run -- sexy, fun, and great characters!"

ALL WOUND UP is Book 10 in Jaci Burton's Play-by-Play series. ALL WOUND UP focuses on the St. Louis Rivers baseball team -- the players and the management. I love how ALL WOUND UP is very much a character-driven story. Most of the conflict comes from the internal debate inside the minds of the hero and heroine. I believe readers new to the Play-by-Play series can still read and enjoy ALL WOUND UP. It's impossible to resist Tucker Cassidy's appeal. He has the sexy swagger of a professional athlete, but his Clark Kent glasses and easygoing, sweetness, and charm make him amazing. I like that Tucker projects confidence without it appearing to be obnoxious arrogance. Over the course of ALL WOUND UP, it's obvious that his large, tight-knit family keeps him grounded. I loved the interactions between Tucker and his brothers. These family scenes add humor and lighten tension. I love the flirty courtship between Tucker and Dr. Aubry Ross. Despite their best intentions, and inauspicious first meeting, they slowly fall for each other. Aubry is very likable and I really liked that she is able to see how skewed her father's view of her personal life is. She is not somebody to be easily manipulated and she doesn't seem insecure. I love the chemistry between Tucker and Aubry. The fun, light, romantic moments like their cooking class add another layer of charm to ALL WOUND UP. The passion is red-hot and never lets up. ALL WOUND UP is a home run -- sexy, fun, and great characters! I love stories like ALL WOUND UP that can take a "nice guy" hero and keep him sexy without being boring. I hope to read more about Tucker's brothers in future books, as well as perhaps Aubry's best friend Katie. I love characters with a good sense of humor and Katie's quick wit added to my overall enjoyment of ALL WOUND UP. I look forward to reading more stories in Jaci Burton's Play-by-Play series.

SUMMARY

In the latest Play-by-Play novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Quarterback Draw, a sexy baseball player is done striking out... Tucker Cassidy is going through a slump—both with his curveball and in his dating life. After having a painful altercation involving his ex-girlfriend’s knee, the professional baseball player is convinced things couldn’t get worse…until a gorgeous doctor comes to the rescue at his most embarrassing moment. As the daughter of the owner of the St. Louis Rivers major league baseball team, Dr. Aubry Ross has been around jocks all her life. She knows the ins and outs of all their games, and she isn’t interested in playing. When Tucker repeatedly lands in the hospital where she’s working, Aubry starts to think he’s getting injured just to see her. Tucker is both funny and sexy, and Aubry is pleasantly surprised to discover he actually respects her job. But when her father disapproves of their relationship, will Tucker let threats of a trade get in the way of a game-changing love?

Re: ALL WOUND UP is a home run -- sexy, fun, and great characters!

I too love this series. This installment was soo good.
Tucker's as an Alpha male and finding love with Dr. Aubry
Ross was fun as they realized that they really liked each
other, but of course her father, owner of the baseball team
that Tucker played on, made this love match very
complicated.

Loved your review.
