I love books where a player basically has his heart stole. This book was no exception. Paxton Hughes is one of the biggest players in the MLB. His amazing pitching arm and his Texan drawl helps him land any female he wants for the night. He recently signed a new contract and has moved to Rhode Island to play for the Kingston Crushers. Sophia Ballis has recently graduated college and moved back home to work as a music assistant at the local elementary school. She is shy and very innocent. They are complete opposites in personality but their hearts know they belong together. I enjoyed watching these two fall in love. I enjoyed watching Pax give up his player ways and really show Sophia that she means something to him. I especially loved seeing him bond with her parents, especially her dad. I didn’t like his friend Kenny and his attitude toward Pax and Sophie’s relationship. Every book has it’s climax and my heart broke for these two when they hit there’s, but i can honestly say I was happy with the end results. I do wish that there would have been more of an epilogue, not that I didn’t like the ending, but I would have loved to see more of the HEA. All together this was a great book and I would highly recommend it.
“Darlin’, I’m from Texas where everything is bigger.”
Paxton Hughes is a baseball player from Texas now living in Rhode Island for the Kingston rushers. Pax is OMG handsome and can be quite the player. No one has ever been able to tame this bad boy of baseball.
Enter Sophia Ballis! Not your typical girl next door but pretty darn close. She is just trying to make ends meet and establish her teaching career. While out on her daily morning runs, she has been noticing the new guy and thinks that he is handsome, but being shy she would never make a move. Lucky for us, Pax makes it for her! Although they share a few minutes of conversation, Sophia has to run off to get ready for work and leave without giving her name. Both are a little bummed but Sophia’s best friend has her best interest at heart and convinces her to go the local bar in hopes of running into Pax. Afterall, the entire team always go there after the home games!
Our couple happen to run into each other and the sparks are electrifying. Soon we have a couple that just cannot get enough of each other. But as all love stories go, there must be some trouble ahead. And talk about a complete misunderstanding that spirals way out of control.
Time passes, more time then should have but such is life, and the bond these two share can not be denied. Once they talk out their issues and all secrets are out in the open, they finally get back together! And yes, Pax can steal my heart any day of the week!!
This was another well told story by the lovely Ella Jade. And lucky for us, there will be another story in this Kingston Heat Series!! That ought to just as hot and steamy as this one. I am a huge fan and she hasn’t let me down yet. I cannot wait to see what she will give us next!!
