I might have liked this story line better than Hardball. I did notice similarities though- the relationship was too good to be true, the girl was in some kind of crisis and her stud muffin of a man comes to rescue her.Hot, firey journalist Maddie LeClair falls for her Patriots baseball hero Jake Miller (from his description I think I would have had a crush on him too...lol). One problem stands in their way of ever having any kind of relationship though. Maddie is the Patriots main journalist and if she were to start dating Jake her career could be at risk, as could his. She badly wants an interview with him when he comes back from his ankle injury and he suckers her into an off the grid interview without the proper red tape that normally follows such an event. From there these two realize how much they need each other and from this point on they try to meet as often as they can without being caught. (oh so steamy!)I like Maddie and Jakes relationship a lot better than Holly and Nates, Maddie and Jake are more like the "Joneses" where as Nate and Holly were more like a hot, steamy, greys anatomy episode. (Since I read Hardball first). Maddie and Jake built something throughout the story that reminded me a lot of my husband and I. There was a genuine love for eachother and I like that these two characters came out and said it instead of freaking out and almost breaking up over it. There weren't as many sex scenes either which was kind of a relief. After reading Hardball I didn't know how much I could take anymore ;)Their story is sweet, genuine and bursting full of love. I just had to keep reading to see where their relationship was going to end.You want a quick hopeless romantic story?? V.K. Skyes has it. Now if there was only a third book showing the new baby and Nate and Holly getting married.... oh that would be nice :)
