Kyrie Kent hates baseball. She hates players even more. When her best friend drags her to a Ravens game, she spends the innings reading a book… Until she gets a glimpse of the closer—a pitcher who draws her like a magnet. Fighting her attraction to Easton Holliday is easy. All she has to do is keep her distance, avoid the ballpark, and keep her head down. At least, all that would have worked, but Easton doesn’t intend to let Kyrie walk so easily. When another player vies for Kyrie’s attention, Easton will swing for the fences. But will Kyrie strike him out or let him steal home?
I have read so many books, so, so, so, many, but none written like this. The writing was out of this world and I've never seen anything written better than this. These two authors have a way of explaining things and I'm telling you, I could literally feel the chemistry between the two characters coming off the pages. It blew me away.
As a writer myself I always find ways of trying better to express myself, to express my characters, but nothing and I mean nothing, could get me to write like these two. They have it down.
It's so hard to explain. I wish I could but I can't. You have to read it and find out for yourselves exactly what I mean. There's is not a book I've EVER read that has made me feel an instant attraction between the two characters. I've always just taken words for an answer, so to speak. But I didn't need to go by the words in this book, I could feel it, I could see and it was such a new experience.
The story line is great and I read it in one sitting. Kyrie hates any players. Since she was cheated on and humiliated by her fiance who was also a player, she hasn't been able to move on, and especially with another player. But when she meets Easton she's immediately drawn to him. Not in a way that says, Oh he's fit, but in a deep, meaningful way. It was intense. She doesn't trust, so more Easton has his work cut out for him.
And boy does he ever. He fights for Kyrie tooth and nail and doesn't give up. Not once.
I did feel the sex scenes were pushed on Kyrie a little. He never gave her chance to say anything because he'd either kiss her before she even let out a breath, or used her body's wants over her minds wants.
I really enjoyed the book, the story line drew me from the beginning. I only had a few problems. One was some of the one liners, and banter conversations. I didn't get them. I felt like I was missing something sometimes or didn't understand what they meant by it.
The other was Easton's sister. My god her mouth. I don't mind girls swearing. It's all you hear from girls mouths. There's always fuck, shit, wanker, prick in one sentence or another. But jesus, she was so freaking crude. I hated her from the get go. She was demeaning, rude, foulmouthed, and come across as a selfcentered. I know some readers loved her character, but I honestly didn't like her. For a lesbian I honest thought she'd believe in women's rights etc, but she was just as degrading as some men out there. I could rant on all day about her. I know my last comment might seem judgemental, but the stuff that come out of her trap was just..... WOW!! I'd be embarrassed if I had a sister that spoke like that, treated girls like that. In fact, I'd feel the same way if it was my brother talking the way she was.
