About this listen
Second shots and fake dates, what can go wrong?
I screwed up.
Considering the team is laden with controversy, adding to the rumor mill wasn’t my intention, especially since this is my second shot at the majors.
As the Boston Bears’ first basemen, my job consists of more than winning games. I’m tasked with winning over the scorned fans.
I thought my batting average would speak for itself.
I was wrong.
When my off-the-field actions collide with my on-the-field goals, I have no choice but to devise the persona of being a committed man.
The task is impossible until I meet my neighbor, Hailey LaCroix. Goal-driven and refined, she’s the perfect woman to help pull off this ruse.
I need a fake relationship. She needs an exclusive interview.
The very ones I refuse to do.
I didn’t earn the Heartbreak Hitter title by being a saint. There are reasons I keep my past a secret and stay single.
But there’s more to Hailey LaCroix than her good looks and smoking hot curves. She’s pure and real. She makes me believe I have more to offer than swinging a bat.
And the longer we stay together, the more I want to confess all of my secrets.
The very ones that will destroy me.

Hermosa Beach seems to be the place for throwing together unlikely opposites. My rooster Rowdy and his new crush, Pixy the goat. Me and the obnoxiously cocky cowboy from Texas.... But unlike Rowdy and Pixy, there’s no way I’m going to fall for David Strickland. Nope. Not gonna happen. I could never be with a man so completely opposed to everything I believe...no matter how hot he is.

Meet Braxton Smith in this new enemies to lovers romance. Dating the hot athlete? Yeah, been there, done that...Braxton Smith. Cessna University’s baseball captain. Naturally talented. Sinfully gorgeous. And exudes enough arrogance to fill a stadium. That same cocky attitude is what landed him in my anonymous gossip column. Believe me, I, Cara Gonzalez, don’t want anything to do with him. But he’s everywhere. In my class. In my dorm. In my mind. I left this type of drama back home.

Story
What's worse than having Rider Kingston, the star quarterback, give you the big brushoff because he doesn't want to get serious? You'd probably think living across the street from him where you get a firsthand view of his hookups, right? That's what I thought. Until someone drops off a baby with a note pinned to her blanket that says one of those jocks - either Rider or one of his roommates - is the father. The problem? Baby mama doesn't mention which of these numbskulls is the sperm donor. I wouldn't care about their paternity problems - except my brother lives there too.

Story
The first time I met Winter Marks, I almost took her out with my Jeep. To be fair, she came out of nowhere. I flirted with her, and she flipped me off and disappeared into the woods on her bike. But she left me a souvenir: a single hockey skate. Seemed to me that divine intervention shouldn’t be ignored. She was my icy Cinderella, and I would be her Prince Not-So-Charming. Winter was more than just a sassy, badass hockey-playing hottie. She’s stuck in a prison of a life. And I’m the perfect escape. Neither of us expected to fall. Or for the truth to shatter us.

Story
Pine River was supposed to be a new start for me. And it was, especially attending school with my three overprotective cousins, who were the triplets at the top of the social hierarchy. Except they weren’t alone there, and the first day when I came to school, I saw him. Scout Raiden. Tall. Lean. Tattooed. Mesmerizing. He was a golden god with dark and piercing eyes—looking like he wanted to eat me up. The feeling was mutual, and that was a problem.

Five hockey players, a cabin in the woods...and little old me, Winnie Berlin. Sounds like the start of a fantasy, right? But it's not. It's my reality. It all started when I got lost in the middle of the Canadian Rockies. A wicked thunderstorm sent my car mud sliding into a ditch, and for a girl whose survival skills involve finding the nearest Starbucks, I was in deep trouble. Forced to abandon my car in search of help, I stumbled upon a cabin in the middle of nowhere.

To him, I’m a chess piece. Leverage. His rival’s betrothed. To me, he is a man deserving of poison. A dark prince I refuse to marry. He thinks I’ll accept my fate. Well, I plan to rewrite it. And in my story, Juliet doesn’t die. But Romeo? He perishes.

I’ve got a list of people I absolutely don’t ever want to be stuck with on a boat, or a plane, or a train, and it starts and ends with the broody, grumpy, too-sexy-for-my-own good Axel Huxley. Also known as this romance novelist’s number one nemesis. The man is legendary for his mighty pen and his even mightier scowl. I tried to work together with the cocky thriller writer once upon a time, but the two of us are like vodka and good decisions. We don’t play well together.

Another good one
I enjoyed this little story, but then I love Kimberly’s writing…narrators were new for me so took a little to get use to them but they did a good job…
Story was good, not to fast, not to much angst which is a plus for me…

Heartbreaker to Soulmate
Rick is the ultimate playboy and Hailey knows it because she has to listen to him every night through her apartment wall. When the team comes up with a plan to clean up his image and have him daye his neighbor Hailey, not knowing that she's the reporter who has been trying to get an exclusive interview with Rick.
I liked how this book dealt with a serious storyline about adults who have grown up in households with drug's, how it had affected them as adults and the issues they face as adults with parents who are still addicts.
Troy Duran as Rick truly made him sound like s3x on a stick and Summer Roberts did a great job with portraying Hailey and all of her insecurities.
