Love Between the Bases #2

Releasing Dec 29th, 2015
Avon Books
Love comes out of left field in the
second novel in USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Bernard's sexy
baseball-themed series...
Months
of alternately flirting and bickering with Kilby Catfish catcher Mike Solo just
turned into the hottest kiss of Donna MacIntyre's life—and that's a major
league complication. Any hint of scandal could keep her from getting her son
back from her well-connected ex. Then Mike comes up with a game-changing idea:
a marriage proposal that could help win her case—even as it jeopardizes her
heart.
Mike
hasn't been able to get the gorgeous, gutsy redhead out of his fantasies. The
least he can do is fix the mess he helped create. Yet their engagement is
quickly becoming about a lot more than doing the right thing. Because after
swearing he'd never risk love again, Mike has found a passion that puts all his
emotions in play, and a woman he'll go to bat for again and again.
He ran a hand through the
rough curls at the back of his head. “I have to confess something.” His
Catholic-boy conscience had been tugging at him this whole time. “Only a couple
of those library books are mine. Mostly they’re my neighbor’s. He’s
house-bound, so I pick up books for him.”
Amusement lit up her
little heart-shaped face. “Your confession is that you don’t read big piles of
books, and that you go to the library for your neighbor? I’m crushed. I was
thinking there was a secret genius hidden inside that ripped body.”
“Maybe I was trying to
impress you. We’ve been dancing around each other all season. Don’t you want to
see if there’s anything to this chemistry?”
Her eyes widened.
“Here? Are you trying to add public indecency to all those fines?”
“Just a kiss. One kiss.
There’s nothing indecent about a kiss.”
She considered that for a
long moment, while a pleasant tension rose between them. Finally she seemed to
make up her mind. She took a step forward, brushing against him.
“Nothing indecent, Priest?
I’ve got news for you.”
“What’s that?”
“There is if you do it
right.” And she lifted her mouth to his.
We first met Mike and Donna in All of Me and the sparks between them continue in the second book of the series. Their chemistry is amazing and the humor between them is hilarious. They really are perfect for each other. Mike's heart was broken by his high school sweetheart when he decided to leave the Navy so that he was able to donate a kidney to his older brother. Now playing baseball in the minors, he takes a vow of celibacy at the start of each season as to not get distracted. Donna is trying to regain custody of her son and prevent her ex and his new fiancee from getting full custody - she cannot get involved with Mike, but she cannot deny the attraction she feels towards him. When their PDA gets caught on camera, Mike proposes marriage as a way for their relationship to help Donna with the custody case in case of hurting it. Although reluctant at first, Donna accepts and soon they are both feeling more than sexual chemistry. They encounter some road block on their way to happily ever after, along with some really funny moments between Donna and Mike and some really emotional moments between Mike and his brother. I loved reading this book and look forward to the next Catfish getting caught.
I received an ARC via Edelweiss for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review, all conclusions are my own.
Jennifer Bernard is a graduate of Harvard and a former news promo producer. The child of academics, she confounded her family by preferring romance novels to … well, any other books. She left big city life for true love in Alaska, where she now lives with her husband and stepdaughters. She’s no stranger to book success, as she also writes erotic novellas under a naughty secret name not to be mentioned at family gatherings.
Don't Miss the First in the
Love Between the Bases Series,
ALL OF ME
Thank you so much for your review! I'm so happy you enjoyed Mike and Donna's story.
