***  (out of five)Slide tells the story of heiress Evangeline Montgomery and bad-boy baseball player, Ryan Fox. They both have demons they need to confront. Evangeline’s fear of the media stems from a horrible accident that claimed her mother and brother. Ryan’s demons have led him to lead the playboy lifestyle of sleeping around and avoiding commitments.Congdon’s story is an enjoyable read. Ryan’s bad boy ways are fun to watch and he is truly drool worthy. The interaction between Ryan’s family was sweet. I also enjoyed the descriptions of the wealthy lifestyles the main characters led.Unfortunately, the spelling and grammatical errors affected my enjoyment of the story. I also didn’t like Evangeline. Her thoughts about money were very egocentric. I found her reaction to Ryan’s situation immature and very annoying. Evangeline’s best friend, Derrick, was also hard to like. He kept leaving her in the most vulnerable situations. The story is a bit cliché, which made the storyline predictable.I recommend this book for a light, quick read for those looking for a romantic read with lots of hot boys.*I received a free copy of this book from the author in return for an honest review.”
