Slow Heat
Slow Heat | Jill Shalvis
5 posts | 6 read | 1 reading
From the New York Times bestselling author of Double Play, Rescue My Heart, The Trouble with Paradise, and the Lucky Harbor novels... After a woman claims she’s pregnant with Wade O’Riley’s love child, Major League Baseball’s most celebrated catcher and ladies’ man is slapped on the wrist by management and ordered to improve his image. His enforcer is the team’s publicist, the tough and sexy Samantha McNead. When Wade needs a date for a celebrity wedding, Sam steps up to the plate as his “girlfriend.” But given her secret crush on him and that one awkward night a year ago in a stuck elevator with too much scotch, the whole thing is an exercise in sexual tension. Wade is thrilled when the pretense turns into an unexpected night of hot passion. But the next day Sam is back to her cool self. As a catcher, Wade’s used to giving the signals, not struggling to read them. Now, to win the love of his “pretend” girlfriend, he needs a homerun—even it involves stealing a few bases…

Nicely written, but not my thing. Two commitment phobes who fall for each other while having a fake for publicity relationship that turns real. Prodded into acknowledging their love because they learn from taking care of a largely abandoned nephew and rebuilding a relationship with an alcoholic father. That's a lot of emotional energy for 315 pages... Wade is the charming laidback one, so I wanted more of a rom-com feel.

CaramelLunacy I wish there were something between Pick and So-So. I actually thought it was decent, just not a pick for me... 6y

It is a scorcher of a summer, so what better way to spend it than with a sexy catcher?!

Decent romance novel, pretty ???? but I can't forgive her for having a main character whose family OWNS a baseball team, and who works as a PR rep for said team, refer to "the player on third plate"....otherwise a winner! Counting this for the @bookriot #ReadHarderChallenge category to read a book about sports.

I'm getting ready to start this baseball romance (I didn't know that was a thing!). It's my first by this author, but it's nice to know she has a lot more if I like this one. #crazylittlethingcalledlove #melodicmay

bookwrm526 @coffeenebula indeed! The cover of the version I got from the library is not nearly as entertaining! 8y
