Title: Playing for Keeps
Author: A.M. Williams
Series: Boys of Summer; Book 2
Genre: Contemporary Romance
In the macho world of baseball, it sometimes takes a woman to bring it all home.
Emerson is used to the innuendos; that's what you get for working in a man's world. What she's not used to is feeling unbridled attraction to one of the players on the baseball team that she works for, And that just won't do.
Alvarez loves ladies, but only for one night at a time. He hasn't met a woman that he can't get to come to bed with him or that he wants to stick around. That is ... until he meets Emerson and realizes that he just might have met his match.
Caroline's Review
✮✮✮✮
"He wished so fervently that she was his. He wanted nothing as badly as he wanted her - not even baseball."
John Alvarez is a self-confessed manwhore. There's always a willing ball bunny to jump into bed with. However, from their first meeting, he seems to severely suffer from foot-in-mouth, and it seems to set the tone for the rest of their interactions.
"She was hopelessly attracted to him. The problem was she didn't know what to do with those feelings."
Emerson might have noticed Alvarez for his looks, but she also noticed that he likes to share himself around. She has no intention of being another notch on his bedpost. However, when they start to find even ground, she can't help jumping to conclusions about him, and they constantly end up back at square one.
Alvarez and Emerson had some serious chemistry. However, his reputation with the ladies preceded him, and unfortunately, Emerson couldn't help making assumptions about him - in all honesty, she was pretty harsh with him. The back and forth between them was pretty maddening at times. I vacillated between rooting for them and being annoyed with them for all the misunderstandings between them. Poor Alvarez didn't really help himself either, and couldn't seem to catch a break where Emerson's opinion of him was concerned! He desperately wanted her but she thought so little of him.
Overall, a good read, with a slow-burn element and hard fight for a happy ending.
