He can bring the heat, but she’s a curveball he never saw coming… But my sound plan crumbles as I spend time with him and discover that maybe—just maybe—Jack Reagan’s more than a waste of handsome.
Jack
Baseball is my life. I don’t have time for unnecessary drama. So when my ex-girlfriend publishes a tell-all book, I know I need Hannah Adams. She’s worked PR magic for my team in the past, and I need all the help I can get to repair my reputation. Once the job’s done, all I’ll be left to figure out is…when did Hannah turn into a sexy-as-hell woman who makes me want things—forever kind of things—I never wanted from any other woman?
It’s the bottom of the ninth. Will Hannah and Jack go deep, or strike out for good?

What a love story! You just know something is going to happen and then bam- you get to that part and you just want to cry…..of course, it had lots is hot steamy parts, those definitely made up for the tears!!
I love an onion peel romance! The ones where the characters are peeling back layers and changing perceptions only to come to the realization that love was right there in front of them all along. This was that kind of story.
Waste of Handsome: Carolina Waves Series Book 2
Tina Gallagher
This is the first book that I have read by this author, and it certainly will not be the last. I plan to go back and read the first book, and read the rest of the series as they come out. I did not have a problem following this book so I believe they can be read as a stand alone. Some of the characters carry over, so I’m sure I would know more back story had I read them in order. This book captured my attention from page 1 and kept it the entire book. I loved both Jack and Hannah – they were real people. Hannah and Jack have known each other and worked together for 10 years, but Jack really never noticed her until an event they attended to give him good PR. Hannah had noticed and been secretly in lust with Jack for all that time. I loved that the interactions between the two (and everyone) seemed so natural and like it could happen in real life. The details about baseball were awesome, and made me feel like I was at the ballpark. I loved Jack’s interactions with kids and most especially Lexi. I loved how he treated her and how she was always so excited to see him. Oh and I can’t forget Hannah’s elderly neighbor, Mrs. Button’s. She was hysterical in that she loved Jack and was not afraid to ogle him and let him know it. I hope I can be as funny and out there as her when I am her age. Bonus for me was the baseball team Jack played for was located in Myrtle Beach, which I absolutely love. Jack and Hannah made it through a lot of obstacles during their relationship – the tell -all book about him, Hannah’s dad and her past. I really look forward to reading more of these to see how Hannah and Jack are doing. And let me tell you, Jack would be an amazing guy to have – not only is he handsome, he cooks and cleans up the dishes and knows how to take care of his woman. He is my new book boyfriend! You seriously should pick this one up and read it!
Love this book it a super greAt book about baseball … I love Hanna and Jake so much .. Jake life turn around when a book come about about home writing by and Ex of him . ..here come Hanna to safe the day with good PR … Hanna had a crush on Jake for year on Jake that she been pushing away . Jake his starting to notice Hanna and you can feel the attaching between them and there is lot sparks .. will they make it work or will it crash when the new season start … it a must read book .. I hope to read more of all these characters.
This was one of those books that you just couldn’t wait to find out what happened. It had funny parts along with a great story line. Very believable. The back and forth and the different stories from other characters made this book very enjoyable but I would of loved to have it continue even more…didn’t want it to end.
This book was so cute and a lot of fun to read! I loved both Hannah and Jack, especially together! It was a shame they had to wait 10 years to get together but that what happens when one of the people were focused on the game and not the hot PR rep. Hannah has definitely noticed Jack but never said anything. Jack is the star and golden boy of the Waves baseball team. He has a lot of secrets but when a book comes out, things get shaken up a bit. Hannah has a way of moving things along and making Jack look good. I must say while I loved Jack, Hannah, Cal, Dan and the rest of the crew but Hannah’s neighbor had me laughing so hard. She had a crush on Jack and wasn’t afraid to oogle and talk about his attributes lol. These two were incredibly adorable together and even when things came up, they handled them like adults. Sure Jack had a blonde moment but he made up for it in a big way. Even finding out about Hannah’s secret couldn’t break them apart, it only made them closer. I really did love everything about this book and want to read more from this author.
This is my first time reading a book by this author, and I loved it!
Hannah and Jack are such complete opposites, yet so perfect for each other! This book will have you SWOONING and wanting more!!
I can’t wait to read more from this author!
Hannah has had a crush on Jack for as long as she can remember. Jack has known Hannah for ten years, and in those years, he has never really looked at her until now. I fell in love Jack the minute I knew he was a baseball player. All his qualities are front and center in this story and once he realizes how much he wants Hannah, there’s no turning back. Hannah’s neighbor is exactly how I hope to be if I ever become a widow.
This author knows baseball and we are treated with lots of detail that had me sitting at the game. Great story! Love the characters and perfect as Spring training is around the corner.
This is my first book by this author and it will not be the last!!! Hannah is working as a PR with a baseball team and has been in love with it’s bad boy Jack.

Can’t wait to read more from this author!

A sweet and fun sports romance. Loved the characters and how they were built and the flow of their story. The only thing I wanted to know more about was what was in the book the wench write. Haha. But I’m just nosy!
A sweet read with a fun premise but I did find the sports descriptions a bit technical as I am not American and don’t know the sports. Hannah was a sweetheart who was i liked as a character.
Jack is a star for the Waves baseball team. He is a handsome athlete that flits through a woman a season. Hannah is the PR guru for the Waves team.
She is called to aide Jack after his reputation is put to the test in a tell all book from an ex.
Hannah has crushed on Jack for years from the bleachers. As she helps Jack he discovers that there is more to life and love than a season.
This baseball romance checks of every base in a grand slam way.
Awesome characters, great dialogue and storyline. I am volunteering to leave a review for this book.
