Zoe, the quiet writer, has a story she never plans to tell.Erik won’t quit until he knows every word.Falling in love is what I do professionally, not personally.And technically it’s not me falling in love. It’s my characters. I write novels that fly off the shelves, making up imaginary happily ever afters to fill the hole where my own should be.Spoiler: I’m never going to have one of those.… I’m never going to have one of those.
Instead, I go to bed each night safely fantasizing about Erik, the sexy second baseman I have no intention of sleeping with because, like I said, I write romances, I don’t live them.
***
For three years I’ve had a crush on a woman who wants nothing to do with me.
And that’s fine. I don’t need the distraction of a beautiful, sexy, brilliant writer. I’m busy building a team to win a championship. I never expected to make it as a professional ballplayer and this is my one shot at a dream come true.
Aw, hell. Who am I kidding? I want the championship and I want the girl. I’m patient enough to wait for both. The moment Zoe decides she’s ready to date I’ll be the first one in line … and I’ll do whatever it takes to prove to her I’m the only man she needs.
Ever again.
*Last Fall is the final book in the Wild Pitch series, a spin-off of The Storm Inside Series. It is a standalone, slow burn, unrequited love, baseball romance for readers who enjoy their books on the steamy side!

This was a good book, but oh so full of drama. It was well written and full of romance. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book in exchange for a free copy.
Slow-burn with sizzle – This is the most romantic book in the series. Erik should be a candidate for sainthood, not in the bedroom, but for the way he cares for Zoe. Zoe’s characterization seems to be very accurate. It is heartbreaking. I wanted to push her towards Erik but at the same time, her hesitation is understandable. The way the author has Erik and Zoe discussing their attraction is very mature and I think, is how relationships should be started. This is a slow-burn romance but once they fall, the steam sizzles. [I received an advanced copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review it.]
The book is a good romance read. The story has a good story line. The characters are good, and they have good chemistry. The story is an enjoyable read.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I thought it was a good read. It wasn’t my favorite in the series (Roman and June all the way), but it was a good kind of different from the other books. All the couples had a different feel to their story. This story in particular was about a protective “Bear” hero and a “running from the past” heroine. It’s a good change of pace from book 2, which was more about a sex-driven relationship. Both characters are relatable and down to earth. It only lost half a star for me because I sometimes felt that the Zoe’s reserve sometimes really ruined the pacing of the book. Also, I wished Zoe’s past coming back was played out more. It had the makings of a good suspenseful part, but it got resolved so quickly.
Zoe and Erik have been attracted to each other for years, but due to Zoe’s past causing her skittishness, Erik has been angling to get to know her as a friend first. When Zoe finally decides to leave her past behind by not hiding anymore and dating Erik, it seems the past is not quite put to bed yet.
Another great sports romance book in this awesome series. I just love Erik and Zoe. Erik is an absolute sweetheart, so sweet, loving, patient, sexy and hot too. Their love story is so adorable. I enjoyed how he was patient and took his time with Zoe. He took his time until she was ready and I enjoyed reading every step he took for her to reach her sexual satisfaction. So sensual!
RAVENOUS, So Good!
Over the top slow burn read that is filled with emotions and swoon worthy chemistry chemistry. You feel the passion the heat and the heart with an amazing play of words that kept me engrossed never wanting to put it down. A read not to be missed.
