Playing Hard (New York Saints), by Melanie Scott

HIS GAME NEVER FAILS...
Baseball star Oliver Shields has always lived for the game-and now the New York Saints have finally made the play offs. The season isn't over yet, but meeting gorgeous Amelia Graham seems like a bonus grand slam-until one night of partying threatens to take Oliver out of the game for good...

UNTIL SHE puts his heart in play...
All work and no play has always been Amelia's motto, earning her a coveted job on Wall Street and the freedom she's always longed for. Oliver is a real player-in more ways than one-and a distraction she doesn't need, especially when she's trying to win a chance at her dream assignment at work . When flirtation turns to attraction so fierce neither one of them can say good-bye, will Oliver and Amelia step up to the plate-and give love a chance?

"Sexy...[with] emotional intensity."

Click "like" my review if you agree with me on this....
By FromTheSouth
Let me start out by saying I would have preferred a different, more original book cover. Seriously, yet another close-up, headless, shirtless, six pack ab endowed, could be a Mr. Universe contender, hero graces the cover. This NetGalley reviewer always prefers class over skin on her romantic reads. Any one else out there agree? Click "like" for my review if you do. It would be nice to know I'm not the only one out there who suffers from "visual ab fatigue book cover syndrome". Frankly, don't you at times feel a little insulted authors think you need a mostly naked guy to get you excited about their latest literary endeavor? (lol) No, I'm not a prude, but I'm also not that shallow minded. Just a romantic at heart who often shakes her head in frustration over such things. Who knows, maybe they got a discount because the head was accidentally left out of the picture. (lol)

With that part serious/mostly joking comment off my chest (pardon the pun), on to my review....Having really enjoyed Book 2 of this series, this reviewer was pleased to have the opportunity to review Book 4, Playing Hard, as well. Though the writing flowed and I certainly enjoyed the main couple’s chemistry/relationship, which quickly developed over a matter of just three weeks, there was a major damper to this story…and it was called Finn. Couldn’t help but think of the mantra “Marcia…Marcia…Marcia. Why does it always have to be about Marcia?” from a certain 70’s sitcom TV show. In this case, you’ll simply have to substitute Finn’s name. He was the younger brother-like figure to Amelia, the heroine. I find myself wondering why so much of the story revolved around this self-absorbed, immature, ungrateful, jerk. Even more frustrating was no reason was given why everyone catered to him and seemed to make it their life’s mission to keep him safe and happy, usually at the expense of their own happiness. Sure, it was interwoven cleverly in this tale, but I’m still scratching my head wondering what was so special about him. He seemed to be mouthy and hateful to everyone, especially the main couple. It must run in the family because more than once Finn’s sisters were quick to show their true colors if Amelia wasn’t 100% on board with dropping what she was doing and run to check on Finn.

Overall, I enjoyed this mostly predictable read, but not nearly as much as Book 2, which I absolutely loved! It certainly helped that I really liked the main couple and wanted them to have a HEA. With the exception of Finn, there was a great cast of reoccurring sub-characters that I enjoyed meeting again, as well. I'm already making plans to read the entire series. Yes, likely even Finn's, because I really need to satisfy my curiousity about what is up with that guy! (lol)

If you like a sports-based romance, you might want to consider this one. Finn and headless man book cover aside, this reviewer found it very entertaining.

Syrupy sweet sports romance
By Christina
Complimentary copy provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

Amelia is a Wall Street economist and Oliver is a fifteen-year MLB veteran. When the two are suddenly thrust into each other’s lives via an accident involving a mutual acquaintance, they strike up a spicy instalove romance that quickly becomes complicated when Amelia has to decide where her loyalties lie; the sexy first baseman and known player or the lifelong friend gunning for Oliver’s job. But when the opportunity of a lifetime presents itself to Amelia, the choice might be taken out of her hands entirely.

While the characters of Amelia and Oliver are likeable enough, there really isn’t enough character or story development to make much of an impression. Coupled with the author’s lack of research/understanding of both baseball mechanics and analogies, it makes for a tough read for sports romance readers that are actual baseball fans. The story is sweet yet predictable, however fans of the series or those looking for light, easy reads will likely enjoy this one.

I received a complimentary print advance copy of the book through the publisher and normally I would not review based on an advanced copy, however given that this is an imprint of one of the big five publishing houses and had reached the printed stage I feel the need to comment on the editing of the book. I am truly shocked that a book released by a major publisher could be as poorly edited as this one seems to be. The author is not an American, which is not a problem in itself, however there seems to have been little research done on the game of baseball, and there are obvious differences in dialect.

I am a hardcore baseball fan, so when the author suggests that a poorly playing first baseman would be sent to the outfield as punishment I had to laugh out loud. That’s not how that works. That’s not how any of that works! There are also mixed metaphors that really stand out and well as clunky verbiage that completely changes the meanings of sentences.

Some examples:

“How about you? Have you gotten to go anywhere exciting?”
“Most of the 52 states, Canada. I did go to Paris one week.”

"...to use a baseball analogy, it's like my shot at the Big League. So I can either step up to the plate or stay on the sidelines."

"He's just going to keep f---ing up. He's already put himself in hospital and Oliver. Not to mention Paul's hand and Sam's ribs."

This is the fourth book in the series and I have not read any of the other three, and to be honest, I have no plans to. Perhaps in the future I may try a different series by this author.

Loved it!
By Valerie A Kader
I love sports romances, and I loved this book! It was my first by this author, and I really enjoyed her writing style. The heroine was fantastic - pretty, smart, mature, and fun. The hero was handsome and sexy. They had great chemistry, and I enjoyed their storyline. I can't wait to read another by this author!
