The Wrong Pitch by Brittany Taylor is now live!
I couldn't possibly have been more wrong the night I'd tackled Hunter Moore to the ground in the middle of the night.
To be fair, the street was pitch-black, the wheel to my suitcase had popped off, and I found myself face to face with a stranger charging at me.
My instincts had kicked in, and instead, I'd landed him straight on his back with my knee pressed to his chest. Turns out, the stranger I'd tackled to the ground was my brother's roommate... which meant he was also mine.
With my dreams coming to a screeching halt, I was left with no other choice than to move in with my brother and his roommates.
Hunter Moore was star pitcher for the Northeast Rebels. Although I'd found his incessant talk of baseball obnoxious, I couldn't help but relate to how deep his passion ran. Even if our dreams were completely different.
With a shared bathroom and a single wall between our bedrooms, we couldn't resist pushing the boundaries.
Potent green eyes.
Perfectly sculpted muscle.
I was inevitably drawn in.
But the closer we became, the more I learned just how dedicated Hunter was to his dream, no matter the cost.
Only I was unaware, he'd already traded mine for his.
The Wrong Pitch is a spicy roommates, enemies to lovers college sports romance. It is a complete standalone.
Caroline's Review
🌟🌟🌟🌟
I really enjoyed reading this romance by a new-to-me-author.
"Hunter has pulled out the part of my body that vibrates to life whenever he's nearby."
Ophelia Reynolds has just had the rug of her life pulled out from under her, which finds her going back to her hometown to temporarily live with her younger brother, who's a college baseball player. The move also brings Hunter Moore into her life, her brother's best friend/housemate/teammate. He's also the guy she took down in the street, in the middle of night on her first night. He was just out running and minding his own business, but she thought he was a possible assailant. Oof! That meet-cute wasn't so cute!
"The compulsion to pull her impossibly closer and slam her body against mine courses through me."
Hunter is now wholly focused on his baseball career, after extricating himself from an obligation that was not of his choosing. From the moment he meets Ophelia, he knows that she could be a distraction he doesn't need. However, there is no denying the magnetic pull between them, no matter how hard he tries to pretend that she doesn't exist.
"I won't break you...I don't think you understand that power you have over me...If I have the power to break you, it means you could break me, too."
I really liked the main characters in this book. They were both focused, career-orientated, and determined to make their dreams come true. They'd never made allowances for the fact that they might find love along the way. Hunter blew hot and cold until he couldn't deny what he wanted anymore. The sparks between them burned bright, making for some pretty hot scenes! 🔥🔥 The tension between them was thrilling. My heart broke for them when a painful revelation was made, and I really wanted to give Ophelia a shake for the unfairness of it all. However, I loved the reconciliation and the ending melted me. I'm definitely up for the next book.
