An Alpha Male and Curvy Girl Steamy RomanceTyson: Everyone heard about the incident. It was posted up on every magazine and whispered about on every street corner: Ian Benson, the legend, gone after a baseball to the head left him unconscious. He never woke up. I never thought that I’d fall in love with his sister or that I’d have to hide one of the most important parts of me from her to let her … important parts of me from her to let her fall for me too: baseball.
Sara:
I had said goodbye to everything baseball-related after Ian passed away.
It all just seemed to remind me of him.
Happiness was something that I only felt in small doses, but nothing I ever knew I could truly experience until I met Tyson.
He reminded me of a future where baseball didn’t have to mean everything and where I could finally be free.
Grand Slam is a sweet and steamy love story between Tyson and Sara, a story in which the one thing that brought them together is the same thing that could drag them apart. She has to figure out if she can get past her brother’s tragic death in order to find true love for herself.

Can he hit it out of the park and into her heart?
I liked Grand Slam as it was a sweet and quick short story with an interesting story-line and nice characters. Sara’s brother Ian died a year ago after being hit in the head by a baseball during a game, he was a really successful pro player for three years. She has been depressed and grieving since then and cannot seem to move past it. She meets Tyson while being out to lunch with Ian’s former agent Helen. Tyson is about to be signed by the same team as Ian had played for but he tells Sara he is a soccer player as he realizes she will not want anything to do with him if she knows he is a ball player. And so it develops from there into a quick relationship until Sara finds out the truth, right after they have s e x in a change room at the stadium right before Tyson’s first photo shoot for the team. She bolts and he is desperate to have her forgive him and get her back, after realizing that he loves her.
This is a nice story but for me it was missing something that I think was a bit more detail. Some of the story was weighted down with Sara’s feelings surrounding Ian’s death which never really got resolved to me. Then other parts of the story were quite fluffy, light and lacked details. The epilogue was nice as you get to see Sara in a happy place in her life and that includes Tyson. With all of that overall I did like the story-line and the characters and it was a nice story to spend an hour reading.
A short read but kept me interested the entire way.
The heartache that Sara felt a year after loosing her brother (Ian) to a freak baseball accident is still fresh for her.
She feels that her mother is capitalizing off Ian’s career and subsequently his death.
She meets Tyson at lunch with Helen (her brothers agent). The connection seemed almost instantaneous.
The only mistake was Tyson introducing him to Sara as a soccer player and not what he really was..a baseball player.
Sara & Tyson continued to see each other and fall in love with each other.
Things seemed to fall apart when she saw him at a photography shoot where he was supposed to be in uniform.
Sara stormed out of the building in tears. Helen told him to make things right with her and soon. To show her he really does love her.
Tyson went to Sara’s home and found her in the basement where her mother made it into a shrine of sorts for Ian. She was having a breakdown and Tyson was there to help put the pieces together again.
Tyson took Sara to a building that he purchased and informed her that it was going to be the BenCen a Visual and Performing Arts Center (where children can learn about art and music for free) because Ian loved music and art.
I’m sure you will enjoy the book (I’ve never read a book written my Remi Grey that I didn’t enjoy).
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
