Firstly, Thank you to Ms Sykes for sending me her book to read and review.I really enjoyed this, the fourth book in V.K Sykes' Philadelphia Patriots,series. I haven't read any of the previous books, and this was a completely new area for me, as far as reading about baseball went. I personally struggled with the baseball terminology, but that was only me, due to the fact I know absolutely nothing about the game, other than it's played with a bat and ball!! So don't let that comment in any way put you off reading this great story.!Ryan Locke is struggling with his job as outfielder for the Pittsburgh Hornets, although he's the last one who would admit it publicly. Taylor Page, is the up and coming Assistant GM for the Philadelphia Patriots, and she has her eye on Ryan, in more ways than one.Taylor and Ryan have that instant "something" going on, right from their first face to face, but any relationship needs to be on the hush hush. Taylor is Ryan's Boss and the last thing she wants is to lose her job, Ryan on the other hand, would be only too happy for everyone to know they are together. This brings me to the part where I wanted to choke both of our lovers!! Taylor for being so one eyed about (admittedly, she has spent her whole life obtaining,)her job, and Ryan for being such a (his words) dope. I felt like screaming at both of them (while choking them!) Why don't you just open your eyes and see what's right in front of you!!!This was a great story, good characters, and Devon just sealed the deal, what, with her planning nights together for the couple, secret engagements, and babies, shes one fourteen year old to be weary of!! The only disappointment was, it finished too soon!! I thought I had at least another chapter to go!A good four stars, and now I need to go read the three previous books. Even though this is a series book, it is completely a stand alone, I didn;t feel at ny time I had missed anything by not having read the others in the series.
