As the first female team owner in Major League Baseball, Reese Remington has spent her entire life preparing for this role. With a sharp mind and years of experience working behind the scenes, she’s more than qualified. But the public only sees a woman in a man’s world―not the person who’s earned their place on the field. Under constant scrutiny and pressure to prove herself, Reese can’t afford distractions.
Especially one that comes in the form of the team’s tempting field manager who questions her every decision.
Emmett Montgomery is a former All-Star turned coach who treats his players like family and the field like home. After years of running the team his way, the last thing he wants is a new boss, let alone one who seems ice-cold and laser-focused on business. But forced to spend long hours―and too many away games―side by side, he begins to see the fire beneath Reese’s control, the heart behind her ambition, and the unwavering determination to prove herself.
When heated banter turns into sizzling chemistry, professional boundaries blur and the spark between them becomes impossible to resist. But Reese is constantly reminded of how many people are waiting for her to fail, and the safest move is to keep Emmett at arm’s length―for the sake of the team, the season, and her career.
But keeping their distance is one game neither of them can seem to win.
Sometimes a book just works, and this was absolutely one of those for me. I don't have a lot of 5 star reads each year, but if my heart is in my throat, and I am in tears, and I can't put the book down until I have finished it. And, when I finished it, I was sad it was over.
Reese and Emmett are absolutely forbidden. Reese is the brand new owner of a major league baseball team, and she is the only woman in this position in the entire league, so any relationship with anyone who works for her is strictly not allowed.
The bulk of the story is them balancing trying to do their jobs, get to know one another, and trying to balance this with the attraction they have to one another.
And, I believed their connection, and that they wanted to be with one another and this was just one of those stories that worked for me. I have read some of the other reviews that talk about how some of it was repetitive, and I can see that, but it didn't bother me.
I loved this book, I was sad it was over, and I actually found myself wishing there was a bonus epilogue as I wasn't ready to let go of these characters.
