"Baseball's Not the Only Game In Town"

Reading Kate Angell's SQUEEZE PLAY, I can honestly say you don't need to be a baseball fan to thoroughly enjoy the games she plays in her the initial installment of this new series featuring the ballplayers of the 'Richmond Rogues' .

Risk Kincaid had it all going for him, baseball super-hero with all the perks that went with it -- fame, fortune and the fans. It was all a great 'turn-on' that got old fast, when the one thing and the one person who was his greatest turn-on was one sassy, sexy and free spirit named Jacy Grayson back in his hometown of Frostproof. She'd been his re-bound lover for the last 12 years and whenever she'd call, he was ready, willing and able to come to her aid to help her put back the pieces of her broken heart. Only this time, he knew without a doubt, that being her re-bound lover wasn't enough for him, he wanted to be a full-time lover, but more importantly a full-time husband. Now the biggest game in his life would be to convince her to say yes!

*** The double entendres flow faster in this romantic comedy, than the cups of hot coffee served non-stop at Jacy's Java Café! Kate Angell comes up with a solid premise for this new series with a full complement of hot, sexy and sometimes thoroughly demented baseball players who all play many games but really just want to come up as winners in the game of love! Angell paints a lovely picture of Jacy as a darling, sassy, sexy and unconventional young woman who lets Risk think he's helping her rebound from a broken heart when he's the only one she's really pining away for. Angell's characters are very well developed and charming to the point that you can't wait to see them all score big in the biggest game of all -- love. This is a fast, sexy, and fun read that you'll want to devour in one sitting and hope it doesn't take too long to see the next Richmond Rogue succumb!

Summary

Risk Kincaid is finding out that the life of a pro baseball player isn't all it's cracked up to be. The fame, the fortune, the fans—what good are they when he keeps striking out with the one woman who really matters to him? Jacy Grayson is sassy and spirited, but she only sees him as her rebound lover—the man who'll pick up the pieces when her heart is broken. Yet Risk has never stepped down from the plate before, and he certainly isn't going to start now. The bases are loaded—all Risk needs to do is show her that the diamond he has in mind won't be found on a baseball field.
