Hardball

By: CD Reiss

Narrated by: Jo Raylan, Jeremy York

Vivian's a pretty mild-mannered person.

Even with a busload of hyperactive fourth graders going to a baseball signing, she's patient and kind.

Even when she meets Dash Wallace…major league legend and star of her hottest daydreams…she keeps her cool.

Kind of.

Mostly.

It was fine.

Then his glove is missing and he accuses one of those fourth graders of being a thief.

You do not come after one of Vivian's kids. She will defend them to the death….

Dash suddenly finds himself with an apology on his lips and an unexplainable attraction to a woman who's just not his type.

But he keeps his cool.

Kind of.

Mostly.

It's fine until the regular season, when he's going to travel with the team.

He has rituals. Processes. Routines.

You could even call them superstitions.

They involve having a woman in every city he plays, and Vivian's going to have to be fine with that, or he's going to be just fine leaving her.

Kind of.

Mostly.

Not fine.

Vivian lays down the law, and Dash has to decide between her and winning.

Good Book!

Finished it in about a week and a half! I was looking forward to finding out what was going to happen. I will check out more from the author and suggest this book. The narrators were good too!

Hardball

This book was well narrated. The explicit description of the various sceneries hold your interest and you actually felt as though you were seeing the actions.

Fun stand alone

Loved this book overall, mostly because you get lost in the character development. Sexy and exciting, a little emotional at times. Not as much emotion as I was hoping for. Didn’t love the narration. She gets really quiet at then loud at times and it’s difficult to control the volume or hear sometimes. She runs a lot of words together quietly at times and I have to go back and re-listen louder. Overall I was glued and finished it in 2 days.

Ok story, not good female narrator

There was some interesting character sketches of the male figure. The female narration is just not good - she throws away several words at the end of every sentence, almost like she is telling someone a secret. I missed 30% of the story and that has never been an issue before. Disappointing.

Wow!

I absolutely love this book. It brought me to tears, good tears. I wasn't sure what the end would be but thoroughly enjoyed the character development that led to the conclusion. I've enjoyed other books by this author and so glad I tried this one!
