I’m willing to admit that I shouldn’t read spicy scenes in public.
But in my defense, the opportunity rarely rises elsewhere.
As a single mom and farm owner, my time is stretched thinner than horse hair. Besides, I’d reached a pivotal peak in the story and couldn’t put it down.
That is until someone bumps into me.
My phone launches into the air like a base hit, but the device is caught before smashing into the ground. It comes as no surprise considering the guy is a professional baseball star.
Drake Granger isn’t the boy I remember, but I could still pick him out of the roster while blindfolded. This charming man doesn’t hesitate to tease me about what he spies on my screen. He also doesn’t break stride before asking me out on a date.
But as previously mentioned, spare time isn’t a luxury I possess…
Drake claims that whatever I’m willing to give is plenty. It doesn’t take long to prove that’s not the game he’s playing.
This pro is done striking out, and headed straight for home.
Drake and Cassidy shared a kiss in seventh grade, and he’s wanted more ever since. It wasn’t meant to be, as he moved away soon after, so they haven’t seen one another for years, but now they’re both in town again. There’s no way Drake is losing this woman again, so he’ll be patient and wait for her to finally realize this is no fling. Cassidy knows Drake is trouble from the moment she lays eyes on him again. He’s just too handsome, too funny, too flattering, how can she possibly resist? It won’t be easy, but she’s determined to stay strong and not give in to her desperate want for this man. Between her farm and her twins, there’s no room in her life for this dirty-talking pitcher who’s already planning the rest of their lives.
Luckily for Drake, Cassidy can’t resist for long, especially once she sees how much he adores her kids. And it doesn’t hurt that he shows up to muck the stalls before she’s even out of bed in the morning, or the way he showers her with adoration. He’s pulling out all the stops to show her this is so much more than just attraction and despite all her tough talk about not having the bandwidth for a relationship, this man is completely irresistible to her.
This is a fast burn with a hot book boyfriend and the woman of his dreams, and it was so much fun. I’d like to thank the author and Candi Kane PR for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
