Rhys Rivera is the star short-stop for the Longview Lumberjacks. Many know him, even more love him. He has a pretty face, a quick smile, and an air of danger about him that everyone seems to adore.
He’s not known as the bad boy of baseball for nothing.
It all started with his father, who decided to be a criminal mob boss, then die.
Fortunately for his uncle, Rhys wants absolutely nothing to do with the family business and runs before anyone can figure out which way is up.
By the time his uncle, the successor to his father’s criminal empire, thinks to look for him, Rhys has made too big of a name for himself to be taken out quietly, and he wants to keep it that way.
Fast forward eight years, and Rhys is living life one breath at a time, just waiting for the other shoe to drop. That shoe coming in the form of a nosy neighbor who has no idea just how hot she is in her mail carrier uniform.
Her sweet little body and positive outlook on life make him want to laugh at how naïve she is when it comes to the way of the world.
The harder he tries to stay away, the weaker he seems to get, until one day he decides to put his morals on hold long enough to satisfy his cravings.
One time is all he needs—or so he tells himself.
But then two pink lines change everything, and all of a sudden, he doesn’t have just himself to worry about anymore.
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I
have to say: Listen Pitch is by far my favorite book of any of Lani
Lynn Vale’s Sports romances she’s written so far. And if this series is
the only she’s written, well hot damn, I can’t wait for more.
There
were so many elements of the previous books I’ve read from this author
that made this book so very engaging. Heck, i started this book after
supper and within two hours I was more than halfway through. By the next
day (because I had fallen asleep), I had pliers through half of my half
during my lunch hour and I was literally counting down the minutes
until my day at work was over. And boy was I ever happy to be able to
read every single sentence of this book.
This
book was funny. It was captivating. And it kept me at the edge of my
seat more often than not because so many things were happening - to
those that follow any of Lani Lynn Vale’s stories, they will recognize
so many characters, and I know that I wanted to get back to those books
and see if I could ‘see’ Henley and Rhys.
I loved this book, and I can’t wait for the next story that we’ll get to dive right into.
I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 8, so I can assure you that they are a handful. I’ve been with my paramedic husband now for ten years, and we’ve produced three offspring that are nothing like us. I live in the greatest state in the world, Texas.
