In the latest Play-by-Play novel from the New York Timesbestselling author of Quarterback Draw, a sexy baseball player is done striking out...
Tucker Cassidy is going through a slumpβbut not on the field. Itβs his dating life thatβs suffering. After having a painful altercation involving his ex-girlfriendβs knee, Tucker is convinced it couldnβt get worseβ¦until a gorgeous doctor comes to the rescue at his most embarrassing moment.
As the daughter of the owner of the St. Louis Rivers, Dr. Aubry Ross has been around jocks all her life. She knows the ins and outs of all their games, and she isnβt interested in playing.
When Tucker repeatedly lands in the hospital where sheβs working, Aubry starts to think heβs getting injured just to see her. Tucker is both funny and sexy, and Aubry is pleasantly surprised to discover he actually respects her job.
When her father disapproves of their relationship, Aubry knows sheβd rather lose Tucker than have him lose his job. But Tucker isnβt about to let threats of a trade get in the way of a game-changing loveβ¦
ThisΒ is the tenth book in the Play by Play series and each of the books in this series is a stand-alone and features a sexy athlete falling in love.Β Β What I like about this series is all the characters are interconnected and I enjoy having the chance to catch up with them as I read another Play by Play book. Β This story features Tucker Cassidy, a professional baseball player for the St. Louis Rivers. From the moment Tucker meets Aubry, the team ownerβs daughter, he is immediately drawn to her, although it takes while for him to convince her to go out with him.Β I liked everything about Tucker; he is an easy going, nice guy and he has a close relationship with his family that keeps him grounded.Β He can be cocky and a typical jock, yet he also has a sensitive side and I love the way he treats Aubry. He is caring and sweet and isnβt afraid to show her how he feels. Β Tucker admires Aubreyβs dedication to her job and how hard she works, but he thinks she also needs to enjoy life.Β Β
Becoming a doctor has been all consuming and Aubry has never had time for anything else in her life.Β She spends all her time working as a resident in the ER room and it can be exhausting and overwhelming.Β Aubry doesnβt date, because she doesnβt want any distractions, yet she is also frustrated with her boring life and would like to get out more.Β When she is with Tucker, for the first time in her life, she is having fun and it makes her wonder if itβs possible to have it all.Β
Tucker and Aubry have incredible chemistry together and I found it easy to connect with both of them. Tucker helps Aubrey loosen up and she sees there is more to life than working. I especially enjoy the camaraderie between Tucker and his brothers.Β There is a lot of trash talking when they get together, although they love each other and have each otherβs backs. Β If you love sports romances and hot baseball players, you will enjoy this delicious story. Yes, it is predictable, but I love reading stories about good looking, macho athletes.
I’ve always enjoyed Jaci’s stories. This sounds good, thanks π
