by - 9:01 AM

Title: Pitch Please
Series: There's No Crying in Baseball Author: Lani Lynn Vale
Genre: Sports Romance
Release Date: September 8, 2017
Baseball is life, the rest is just details.
Everyone who’s played the game has heard those words a time or two. But Hancock has heard them his entire life from his parents. His family has lived and breathed baseball even before he started little league.
Hancock “Parts” Peters has a name that inspires grins across many faces, but the moment those faces get their first look at him, those grins slide away.
Hancock is gruff, filterless, and doesn’t give a crap who he offends. He is the only man in baseball who doesn’t care if he gets an endorsement or not. He’s there to play the game. He’s there to win. He’s there because baseball is his life.
People think he’s a jerk.
And maybe he is. But if that’s how he has to come off to get people to leave him the hell alone so he can play in peace, so be it. The less people he has to worry about offending, the better.
***
Don’t let the fear of striking out hold you back. 
Sway Coffman didn’t mean to rock the boat. She was just there to do her job.
Sure, she was a woman in a man’s world. Yes, she beat out several of those men to get the job as head athletic trainer for the professional baseball team, The Texas Lumberjacks. And yeah, she now got hate mail from those men.
But she’s good at her job, and she earned the position.
What she is not good at, however, is talking to men.
Men seem to see her curvy hips, large breasts and thick thighs and automatically think she is incompetent. Because surely a fat girl couldn’t get the job treating some of the most fit and athletic men in the world, right?
Wrong.
This fat girl got the job, and she is proud of it.
What else did she get?
The attention of the sexiest bearded man she’d ever had the pleasure of laying eyes on.
It was enough to bring to her down to her knees…in front of that man, the hot and grumpy baseball player, Hancock Peters.

3 out of 5 stars
I have read many books by Ms Vale and loved them all. I was excited that she was trying a new genre with the sports theme. I have to say that the sexy, alpha, hot and sexy banter was in full strength, but I did feel like something was missing. The story line didn’t capture and hold my attention like most of her books do.

I am glad I gave it a chance and Hancock will forever be a great alpha male with just the right words to get what he wants. Sway was also a great female lead. She didn’t take anyone’s crap and really held her head high no matter what was thrown at her.

There were also a couple of scenes that I just didn’t like - in fact at one point I almost stopped reading. Then the scenes with his brother seemed almost forced into the story to add a little meat and kind of fell flat for me (especially after all the motorcycle club books I’ve read of hers).

Overall, I think this is an okay book and I liked it alright, but it isn’t one of my favorites from this author. If you’re just looking for a steamy romance, then this will definitely fit that bill.

I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 5, so I can assure you that they are a handful. I’ve been with my paramedic husband now for ten years, and we’ve produced three offspring that are nothing like us. I live in the greatest state in the world, Texas.
