He likes a challenge… instant connection to someone. Which means I’m in serious trouble. Chloe’s a smart, sexy distraction I can’t afford, but one date can’t hurt, right? Only she turns me down. And just like that, it’s game on.
She’s sworn off love…
Finn Auprince is the hottest player in the major leagues. Look up “It Factor” in the dictionary and there’s his handsome face. He’s also my biggest client and I don’t care how easy it is to talk to him or how fun it is to manage his social media accounts, I will not give in to his charms. Then one drunken night, I tell him about my curse: all my previous boyfriends have found their soul mates while dating me. One more heartbreak, and I’ll never recover. But Finn doesn’t believe in curses—he believes in me. Professionally and personally. He sets out to prove the universe isn’t against me, and that his one true love isn’t waiting around the next corner.
The problem is…can we play the game of love and both come out on top?

Finn Auprince wants nothing more than to forget about how last season ended. But the baseball club wants to clean up his image and make him more accessible to fans so they hired social media manager Chloe Conrad to help Finn. She’s not only an umpire’s daughter who rattles off baseball stats like a pro (talk about sexy) but she knows her marketing. When she’s near, all he want to do is run his fingers through her hair and kiss her senseless. The only hitch: she thinks she’s a curse to all men. He’s got to prove her wrong and show her she’s the best thing that’s ever happened to him.
Chloe knows exactly what Finn is: sex on a stick. After being dumped, she’s sworn off men forever. She’s a curse. She’s the girl men date on the way to finding their soul mate. She’s determined to keep it professional with Finn. She don’t need a fling and that’s all it would be with him. But the more she’s around him, the more she unearths the man behind the smile. His heart lays open and she can’t help herself. Can she turn him from heartthrob to all hers or will the curse break her heart again?
As a baseball fan, Heartthrob is a home run. It has all the nuances of the world of professional baseball balanced with a heart-stopping romance. Finn and Chloe are one of those couples you yearn for them to get together and then when they do, your heart melts. Robin Bielman ratchets up the sexual tension until the reader needs a cold shower but the payoff is sublime. The ending was so good, I gave a cheer. Romance at its very best.
If you’re looking for a summer read or a contemporary romance with heart, pick up Heartthrob today. Perfect for any baseball fan. You’ll be cheering for Finn and Chloe!

My Rating: 5 stars
These are the type of stories I love to read. I hope I can see your work in NovelStar. There are also a lot of talented writers in that platform. You may check their group on Facebook.
I exhaled a satisfied sigh after finishing reading “Heartthrob” (nook). Ms. Bielman’s writing flows easily, bringing the reader into the story. I love the characters and their deep love for each other. A great HEA.
I really enjoyed reading Heartthrob. It was funny, sexy and emotional.
I loved the characters and the plot. I can’t wait to read the rest of the books in the series!
I wish I could have met Finn when I was a young, eligible single woman! You will enjoy this feel-good read, with its clever plot and original scenarios. I did!
Sweet and funny. Pleasure to read.
Great book
A romantic and entertaining read. The main characters, Finn and Chloe, were enjoyable characters and the storyline flowed nicely around the main and supporting characters with some sweet unexpected acts of kindness. Finn and Chloe made a great couple and they just needed to find their way to happily ever after.
A very entertaining story! Easy to read with characters easy to relate to.
Literally could not put it down until I’d finished it. Loved the story and the main characters. Have read the next book in the series and I’m already onto the third and final book. Definitely a recommended read.
Good book exemplifying the adage of “don’t judge a book by its cover”, as the main characters are sweeter or tougher than expected.
Loved it
For a baseball player, Finn doesn’t have the stuck up attitude Chloe expects as his social media manager. She learns that he is very much a caring, private man, whom she finds herself falling for. Finn too, realizes there is. more to life than baseball.
I just read all three of the books in this series. Loved them! Couldn’t wait to see what happened next. Wish there were more “brothers” to read about. Loved the mix of wealthy but down to earth men they were.
What a fun read.
A sweet love story with just enough erotica to keep.you enthralled. You are rooting for the characters to get out of their own way.
Definitely a five plus star read. Great plot with awesome characters. This book was so hard to put down. Lots of details really kept my interest. Honestly one of the best books I have read. I really did not want this story to end. Will be recommending this story to my book loving friends.
I don’t usually read first person present (old habits are hard to break), but this book is exceptional. This book has it all: steamy sex scenes, adorable banter, heart-clutching drama and a cast of characters that feel like your best friends. This is the first book in her new series and I highly recommend it.
Heartthrob is book 1 in the American Royalty series.
This book was fabulous! This was my first time reading a book by this author, but now I am hooked and can’t wait to get my hands on the next book in this series.
Finn and Chloe were such awesome characters. I thought they had amazing chemistry and I was absolutely drawn into their story. My heart broke for what Chloe went through with her no good exes and I was proud of her for how she handled herself. Finn was also hurt in the past and had no desire to get into a relationship. However, being forced to spend time together due to their jobs and with a shared love of baseball in common their friendship soon turns to something more.
This book had me laughing in spots and on the edge of my seat at others. A must read book for sure! By Alisa
As this was my first book by Robin, I can say now that this won’t be my last book by her. I was addicted to these characters from the first chapter till the end. Finn and Chole just had something that had me laughing and wanting more from them in every chapter. Plus who can pass up a HOT GUY with a puppy?
Can’t wait for more from the other Aurprince Brother’s and their meddling mother.
