Fiction. Literature. Romance. HTML:*From the author of Slow Heat, The Trouble with Paradise,* and the Lucky Harbor novels...** Pace Martin is the ace pitcher for the Pacific Heat. He's got the arm, the experience and the wins. He's also got the pain, the pressure, and the possible end of his career looming over him. The last thing he needs now is a distraction, even if it comes in the form of a tough, beautiful, tell-it-like-it-is writer who sees past his defenses. Holly Hutchins knows a good story when she sees one, and the tall, dark and slightly attitude-ridden Pace Martin fits the bill. But when she realizes there�s more at stake than just the win, she starts to notice the handsome broad-shouldered jock in a different light. Pace and Holly begin a seductive game in which neither wants to drop the ball, but in the face of an unexpected betrayal and challenge, they�ll have to find the courage to swing for the fences�.… (more)

Hot Property by Carly Phillips (Caramellunacy)
Caramellunacy: Both stories are steamy contemporary romances featuring baseball players recovering from career-threatening injuries and threats of negative publicity. Both have a similar mixture of the funny and tender.

Sweet, absollutelly loved all the baseball quotes, funny and even tough. I really enjoyed their story and learning so much about baseball and their players.

I did enjoy this baseball story. At first I thought it was heavy in sports talk but soon saw how that not only setup a fun plot but also showed strength of character which made this a good book. News reporter Holly is assigned to write a story about a baseball team including its pitcher Pace.

Loved it! I really can't get enough of Jill Shalvis' writing. I think I've read all of her books and I. Just. Can't. Get. Enough! This one was a little outside of the norm, seeing that the story involves the baseball world and not the whole small town thing, though that just gave this book and story a little other very great detail about it. We learn more about the baseball world and its very yummy and hot players, but also about a reporter that has some incredible backbone and doesn't take s*** from anybody. The other characters were very fun too, but there were some mixed feelings on my part about Red and Tucker, but that's just me. Hope everyone who gets their hands on this, enjoy it as much as I have.

Holly was fun and witty. Though she held herself back from forming strong attachments she wasn't completely closed off. She was still open and honest. I really liked her personality.

Pace wasn't your typical alpha-athlete. Though he was the star of the team, it bothered him that people thought of him so. Instead of coming off as a martyr, I found him to be somewhat refreshing.

The issue of trust between the two of them was the main source of contention. I think this worked because both were upfront about not trusting the other, and because the reasons each presented were believable.

Overall I really enjoyed the book. I'm anxious for the next one. (

The romance was worth three stars, but the baseball was only worth one. I really don't need yet more PED sanctimony out of my pleasure reading. I couldn't believe the pitcher's recovery process, and the heroine's grasp of journalistic ethics gives bloggers a bad name. (
