Sinclair Callahan is a trust fund baby.
Born into one of the richest, most notorious families in the country, the black sheep title was stamped on him from an early age. While the rest of his relatives earn their keep at the top tier baseball team they’ve owned for generations, Sin prefers spending his time and money on booze, babes and bad decisions.
Until all three land him in a coma, fighting for his life.
One year later, with a sober chip in his hand, he arrives at spring training ready to turn it all around. But when he meets the only woman who doesn’t recognize just who he is, he can’t help omitting a few important details … like his last name. No stranger to charming women, Sin uses one of his old skillsets to kick off what is sure to be an epic hookup.
But when she shows up five months after their brief Florida fling with a secret that will topple his privileged world, he might just lose everything he’s worked so hard to rebuild. Including a real shot at love with the sassy redhead that he’s been too much of a coward to pursue.
Can he shoulder the responsibility he’s always shrugged off? Or will he balk at the real-life complications and strike out completely?
Francesca Kade is an independent goal-getter.
As one of the only female strength coaches in the league, she’s used to invading the boys’ club. After putting up with being passed over and not promoted for a number of seasons, she’s finally got her shot.
A consummate professional with blinders on, there is no way anything will screw up all she hopes to achieve. Well, except for maybe the new employee with eyes the color of ocean waves and a smirk that’s the definition of sin. When they catch fire in the southern heat, it’s almost impossible to put it out.
Until she finds out that he’s her boss’s boss’s boss.
Burned from the betrayal and panicking with a fresh secret of her own, Frankie is shocked when she lands her ultimate dream job. There is no way she’s turning it down. But when she bumps into Sinclair on day one, all of the old feelings and new problems come hurtling at her like a baseball to the face.
Will she ever be able to trust that he’ll put both her and his responsibilities before his vices? Or will their differences cost them the game?
My Review
I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.
Yes! It's finally Sinclair's turn! I love a good redemption story line and everything was set up perfectly for Sinclair's. He is finally taking his place in the Packton Pistons organization and this time he is ready for it. Sinclair wants to do a good job. He has been working on his sobriety and is trying his hardest to be successful. He's also been skating by on the fact that he is a Callahan and he knows he needs to stop doing that. Which is why when he meets Frankie, he doesn't tell her who he is.
Frankie is great at her job and she finally has her chance to show people that. Since she doesn't know who Sinclair is, she doesn't have any problem agreeing to the no string attached sexual relationship that forms between the two of them. She gets to do the job that she loves and then spend her nights with a sexy guy in her bed.
Seems simple enough, right? Of course not!
I enjoyed liked Frankie and Sinclair as a couple. They had great chemistry and even though neither of them wanted a relationship, they just kind of fell into one. They felt at extremely at ease with the other person and being with one another just felt right.
I liked that the book took a turn that made things complicated. That was when Sinclair really had to look at his life and figure out what he wanted. And Frankie, knowing that things could fall apart at any minute, had to be able to take the leap and hopefully get everything she ever wanted.
This is definitely my favorite of the series!
