Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 02 5, 2014
It’s the bottom of the ninth bases are loaded. 2 outs with a man on second base, Holly Robert’s is at the plate, with a full count. Her team needs her to hit a 2 run homer so they can win the game. Holly has played her heart out today ladies and gentleman. Can she do it? The pitcher approaches the mound, looking intensely at his catcher he nods his head in agreement and prepares to throw his pitch. Suddenly all things stand still – it’s just the pitcher and Holly facing off. The ball flies towards the plate and Holly swings the bat with immense power and will. The bat connect with the ball with a loud pop, it’s a long fly ball. The crowd is on their feet, the man on second starts sprinting to third base as Holly slowly jogs to first never taking her eye off the ball. It’s going….it’s going…its goneeeeeeeeeeee ladies and gentleman. Holly Roberts has hits a 2 run homer in the bottom of the ninth and The Completions win the World Series!!!!!WOW!! Strike was amazing – I loved her first book in the series – Play and this was no different. Holly truly hit it out of the park with this fun. Strike is a fun, sexy, and flirty afternoon read that left me craving more. I am thinking maybe soccer next? The storyline, the characters, the humor, the steam it truly had it all and it was a joy to read.Reed Tyler, baseball player extraordinaire, is sexy and fun. He has a bit of an alpha side to him too which was just a bonus. What I found that I loved most about him was his heart. His heart was made of pure gold and he truly did wear his heart on his sleeve. Yes he was successful and rich beyond his imagination playing a game that was born in his blood but he loved it. He didn’t let his fame and fortune go to head – he saw people for who they were on the inside and not what they had in their bank account. He swooned me over from the very beginning and kept my heart until the very end.Jaycee has never had an easy life – after losing her mother she was left to raise her younger brother and sister on her own. Jaycee always puts her brother and sister before herself and knows that from how she was raised and with not having the best role model; that love doesn’t last forever.Everything changes one night when a desperate Jaycee decides that it’s time to steal Reed Tyler’s balls. That chance encounter will change everything that Jaycee has ever known and believed. Reed doesn’t give in easy and wants so much more than Jaycee is willing to give and more than she believes she has in her.Will Jaycee learn to trust again and give all of herself to Reed? Will Reed’s career and Casanova ways cause him to lose the one gift that he never knew he wanted or needed?Again I say this – I love Holly Roberts! Strike is fun and flirty and oh so sexy. She really did hit the ball out of the park with this one. Strike has enough story, steam, and laughter to take you into extra innings but there is no need because Holly proved that she has what it takes to hit the game winning homer. She most certainly did NOT strike out with Strike! Go grab a copy and enjoy Reed and Jaycee – don’t strike out.
