DOUBLE PLAY by Jill Shalvis

YEAH! I went into the bookstore and saw this book and I just picked it up without even looking at the description on the back. I've read enough books of +Jill Shalvis to know that her books are funny, warming and heartbreaking all at once, and I was right.

Pace Martin is a man who was forced to realize a terrible truth. A truth that all men realize much later on in their lives, but for Pace, that time came much to early.  Being the ace pitcher for the Pacific Heat (Baseball for those who were wondering) , he's got the whole package and good looks to boot.

Suffering from an arm injury that can force him to an early retirement, Pace realizes that his whole life is baseball, so the question is, who is he without it?  Pace being a man, thought that he was nothing without baseball.  Needing to focus on not letting his injury become worse, the last thing he needs is a distraction and of course that is exactly what he gets, in the form of Holly Hutchins.

Holly Hutchins is a tough tell it like it is writer who always gets her story.  Holly can smell a good story and the smell was coming straight from Pace. Trying to get around Pace's stubborn attitude was a problem but Holly is determined to discover any secrets that needs to be exposed.  The result of a flighty mother, Holly had to raise herself and does not need anyone to take care of her, but, it's nice to want someone to once in a while.

With Holly getting clearance to tag along with the team for every game,  Pace does not get a break from the persistent annoyance who won't stop asking questions, it's much worse when he finds himself attracted to the annoyance.

A romance is born but was dying fast due to the lack of trust.  Leeks pertaining to the teams performance are made public and Holly gets the heat for that and with the suspicion of the team using enhancement drugs, can Holly resist the temptation to write the story or would the new Holly with friends, not run the story.

+Jill Shalvis is fun to read, especially the silly scenes; like the one where Holly and Pace were half naked painting the.........sorry, I get carried away sometimes.  I recommend that you read this book, it would have you laughing and crying and make you fell like you've made some new friends.  Now I'm just waiting for the story of Sam and Gage, or was that book already written?

IT STARTED WITH A KISS by Marina Adair

Well well well! What do we have here with this story? Is it a love story, is it a trade or is it MURDER! I'm kidding, I'm kidding, there's no murder here. Avery Adams wants adventure. She wants to push herself outside the norm and experience life instead of just existing. This came about when she survived a kidney transplant that saved her life, but it's also a ticking time bomb that can explode at any time. With her resolve to experience life, Avery did the most logical thing and got a job as a guide in the local adventure lodge in her rustic Sierra Nevada Town. She was excited for her new job until reality slapped her in the face.  Instead of getting the training she needed in order to become a guide, she's stuck in the office, managing the business as best she can. What makes this situation worse is that the business is failing and the owner is so set in his ways that he refuses to change anything to fix it.  Frustrated with the way things were, hel

CRASH AND BURN by Rachel Lacey

This book was not the usual Rachel Lacey book and I should know, I've actually read all of them.  This is a story I've not read before and it puts to light what your brain thinks about when you think that you're about to die. Isa Delgado is terrified of flying and now she has to step foot into her first ever plane ride to help a rescue dog that only responds to her. The rescue is a husky dog named Maya who likes to run away when things get rough.  This does not help Isa with her fear of flying but the hunk who was her pilot might help matters a bit. Take off was not so bad and it relaxed Isa to see Maya calm during the flight.  Just when she thought that flying might not be so bad, everything goes horribly wrong. Nate lives to fly.  He's been flying for as long as he can remember. That's why he did not foresee any problems in flying a lady and her dog to their destination. Things don't go as planned when in the middle of their flight, shit hit the fa
