Legendary
baseball bad boy Mace Duvall thought an accident had cost him
the one thing in life that mattered most - his baseball career. When
a friend and former teammate gives Mace the opportunity to come
back to baseball as a traveling instructor for the minor league
teams, he is reluctant and intends to stay around only long
enough to hand in his resignation. However,
an affair with a fiery redheaded sports trainer just might
change his mind about everything.
Becka
Landon doesn't give a second thought to being a female sports
trainer in the male-dominated world of baseball. She
is committed to doing her part to ensure the success of the
team. Though not part of her job description, advances by
hot-blooded young players are handled with the greatest of ease.
Advances by a sexy instructor, however, might pose a little more
of a challenge.
When
I started reading SCORING, I thought that this was going to be a
tough sell since I am not that much of a sports fan; especially
with respect to baseball. Thankfully,
the author proved me wrong. SCORING
is an energetic read filled with a wide array of characters,
from the passionate to the absurd. The reader will be
willingly immersed in the highly competitive world of minor
league baseball; where performance is everything, both on and
off the diamond.
Once
again, Ms. Hardy has created a memorable pairing in Becka and
Mace. Their
strength is evenly matched and their rocky road to romance is
one heck of a ride. The
supporting characters, which include an appearance by Ryan and
Cade (MY SEXIEST MISTAKE, Blaze #44) enhance the overall story
and are not simply used as filler or "window
dressing". In SCORING, readers will delight in
wonderfully creative love scenes, witty banter and a most
satisfying ending. Fans of the Blaze line expect heat and will
not be disappointed. I
personally cannot wait to see what the author offers next!
