Alicia Riley considers her job as a sports therapist for the St. Louis Rivers baseball team is a home run - until she becomes the primary therapist for star pitcher Garrett Scott. Out of the lineup with an injury, he's short-tempered, hard to handle, and every solid inch a man. Right now, the only demand he's making on Alicia is that she get him ready to pitch in time for opening day. Except the sexual chemistry between them is so charged, Alicia is tempted to oblige Garrett just about anything. But both their careers are at stake - one bad move and it's game over for both of them. Garrett also feels the hot sparks between them, and the way he figures it, what better therapy is there than sex? Now all he has to do is convince the woman with the power to make the call.

I am loving this series! Garrett Scott is the injured pitcher and not recovering as quickly as anyone thought he would, especially him and when Alicia Riley spoke up she captivated him. She is on the sports medicine team and he wants her for his main therapist. These two have chemistry off the charts and once they figure out their boundaries, or no boundaries, his recovery starts to take shape. Will they be able to keep it all together to get him back on the mound in time for the season?

about two rational adults with real relationship issues and doubts.
There wasn’t big explosive angsty problems, no jealous former lovers or intrusive family members.
This was a refreshing read with some hot sex and characters from the first few books making appearances.
As before, the narrator was good with the female roles; each woman having a distinctive sound but she needs to work on her male voices. When the story describes the H with a deep voice I expect to hear that. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case.
Liked the story though.

Simple story

Thrown by a Curve is the fifth book of Play-by-Play series by Jaci Burton.  This book is like the others in the series which always ends with a delicious HEA. A romance with steamy scenes and likeable characters. This story continues with the Riley family and focuses on Alicia "Gavin's cousin" and Garrett "hot baseball player". Alicia Riley is a physical therapist who is assigned to hot shot ball player Garrett Scott's shoulder recovery. Garrett is the typical star athlete... arrogant, confident, and extreme sexiness.This story was a pretty straight forward romance. There wasn't very much drama or conflict. I loved the pace the relationship took to progress. It was a slow gradually build from friendship to something more. I could still feel the chemistry between Alicia and Garrett from the very beginning. In fact, there were lots of sexual innuendos and flirtatious banter between them. The sex is postponed while the author focuses a lot on building the romance & chemistry between Garrett and Alicia. I will rate the book 3 stars, simply because it was good, fast and a easy listen. However, it was missing the typical intensity found in the other previous 4 books in the series. Keep in mind, it wasn't a bad book just not my favorite. I definitely look forward to listening to book 6 soon.

 I love me some men from the Play by Play Series!
