Book Cover

I enjoyed the first book in this series, Double Play and was looking forward to this book because this book is Wade’s book. Wade captured my attention in Pace’s book and I loved his flirty personality so I was really looking forward to getting to know more about him, add to that the chemistry that leaped off the pages between him and Sam and Shalvis had me hooked.

So, who’s going to read this book? Check out the blurb:

After a woman claims she’s pregnant with Wade O’Riley’s love child, Major League Baseball’s most celebrated catcher and ladies’ man is slapped on the
wrist by management and ordered to improve his image. His enforcer is the team’s publicist, the tough and sexy Samantha McNead.

When Wade needs a date for a celebrity wedding, Sam steps up to the plate as his “girlfriend.” But given her secret crush on him and that one awkward
night a year ago in a stuck elevator with too much scotch, the whole thing is an exercise in sexual tension.

Wade is thrilled when the pretense turns into an unexpected night of hot passion. But the next day Sam is back to her cool self. As a catcher, Wade’s
used to giving the signals, not struggling to read them. Now, to win the love of his “pretend” girlfriend, he needs a homerun–even it involves
stealing a few bases…

There’s still a little bit of wait on this one but still, put this on your calendars, you won’t want to miss out on this little gem of a book. Trust me, I know!

This book is available from Berkley. You can pre-order it here or here .

    Counting the days!!! Just LUV her, she’s new to me. Maybe you guys could do a contest for this book, hint hint!!! LUV this site!!! Thanks, Sue

  2. Read Double Play last week and really enjoyed it – and I don’t like baseball. 🙂 I’ll definitely read Sam and Wade’s book.

  3. Rowena,

    I liked Gabe but he seemed a little neurotic in Double Play, lol. I don’t think there are any other females that have been introduced besides Holly’s old friend. Maybe she comes for a visit? I actually hope it is someone we have never heard of, or someone who is introduced in Sam and Wade’s book. But I just want to get to Sam and Wade’s book first. I re-read the sneek peak at the end of double play and I can’t wait.

    Luci,

    I hear you! I think I was more anxious for this story then I was for Double Play. Wade is the man!

    Qlady48- Well, we’ll see…=)

    Gabriela,

    Same here. After this book, I hear Gage is up next. Yay.

    Do you guys have a guess at who Gage’s heroine is?
