Chad, a famous baseball pitcher with a rep as a player off the field, meets Bridget at a bar and has a super hot "encounter" with her but she runs before they can really seal the deal. A month later, they meet up again and both realize they still want each other.When Chad's new hard-ass publicist blackmails Bridget into playing Chad's girlfriend for a month in order to save his career, they are thrown together and sparks fly. Can they walk away after a month?Very entertaining read. I didn't read the first book in the series but it didn't seem to matter. Both characters were well written and Chad (though I'm not a fan of the name) was pretty smoking hot. Also I'm a huge baseball fan so right there, I'm all in. Bridget was described as having a "pin up girl" kind of body so I'm assuming that means she wasn't model thin but wasn't overweight either. If you ask most guys, they don't want model thin, anyway--too bony in bed. LOL But it was nice that she wasn't stereotypical. Seems like there aren't enough in-between girls in these books: girls who are totally hot even if they don't fit into a popular mold.Not TOO much drama here and there are people who have had bad things happen to them but aren't "broken" or irreparably "damaged". It's getting very tiresome reading about characters wallowing in self pity. Stuff happens when you're a kid (sometimes really bad stuff) but once you're an adult, how you live your life is up to you. You might need professional help to get there but at least TRY, you know? Anyway.Even though the plot was somewhat predictable, it was fun to ride along. However, I felt like it ended a bit abruptly. I would have liked an epilogue. Maybe that will happen in the third book.I'm not sure if I'd read the first book, but I'll probably read the next one, which, I assume, will be Chad's older brother and the bitch publicist.Recommend this book. Quick, fun read.
