I really enjoyed reading the friends to lovers sports romance. Angie and Houck/Super D was so good together but they were afraid to try a relationship in fear of ruining their lifelong friendship. Loved this book, highly recommend

From the start, this friends to lovers book had my heart pounding for them to succeed.
Naomi Springthorp is a new-to-me author and I really enjoyed this friends-to-lovers sports romance, and was rapt to have been offered a chance to read and review it. It is book 5 in Naomi’s All About The Diamond series, but each book is a stand-a-lone.
Houck and Angie have been best friends since college, and have pretty much communicated most days in the last 13 years. Both are still unattached, and view relationships as unnecessary. Then one day, Angie arrives unexpectedly, and Houck wonders what on earth is going on.
I was all in, and very impressed from the start. These guys are both as independent as hell and very well rounded characters. They’re both successful in their respective careers, especially Houck who is a Closer for his professional baseball team. There was only one thing that began to wear on me and that was the continual internal thoughts. While it did show me the vulnerability of our characters as they were too scared to cross the line from the safe side of friendship into the excitement of a possible sexual, and permanent relationship, I did start to see them as extra noise. It certainly was a fresh approach, but perhaps just a little too much for me.
This was a good red-hot quick read, and one that I’m sure anyone could appreciate should they be looking to squeeze a book in at lunchtime or just to fill in a bit of time. I also don’t know too much about baseball, so the details of the game were just perfect for me to imagine this sexy as sin baller with an ice cold attitude under pressure doing his thing. Yep, I totally googled what a Closer does in the game! 4 stars.

This is the 5th book in this series, and the 1st one which I have read. Angie and Doug / Super D who is now the closer for the Seal baseball team, were best friends in college, and had a secret crush on each other. Now 13 years later Angie sends a text to Doug that she is coming for a visit. Can they act on their feelings? No spoilers; this is a must read, you will not be disappointed. This is a well written story which is fun, humorous, sweet, and an all round entertaining read. I look forward to reading more from this talented author, and I recommend for all.

The Closer, an All About the Diamonds Book #5. It can be read as a standalone however so don’t let it stop you if you haven’t read the first 4 books in the series.
This book does not disappoint as it is a fun, easy red and isn’t short on the hotness!!!
Doug is the closer for the Seals and one day gets a text from his best friend from college, Angie. Somehow he just knows that Angie is the one for him but has to convince her of that. Does he win the girl or does he lose her forever?
I guess you will have to read this hot book to find out the answers!

Houck, aka Super D, is the closing pitcher for the Seals. He gets a text message from a college friend, Angie, who he hasn’t seen in 13 years that she is coming for a visit. Each has had a secret crush on the other and now they each wonder is the other will feel the same. This has great baseball, laughs and great chemistry between Super D and Angie. When Naomi Springthorp writes a book with baseball in it you know it’s accurate because of her love of the game. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from this author.
