Release Day Blitz and Review - PITCH PLEASE by Lani Lynn Vale

Title: Pitch Please

Series: There's No Crying in Baseball
Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Sports Romance

Release Date: September 8, 2017

Baseball is life, the rest is just details.

Everyone who’s played the game has heard those words a time or two. But Hancock has heard them his entire life from his parents. His family has lived and breathed baseball even before he started little league.

Hancock “Parts” Peters has a name that inspires grins across many faces, but the moment those faces get their first look at him, those grins slide away.

Hancock is gruff, filterless, and doesn’t give a crap who he offends. He is the only man in baseball who doesn’t care if he gets an endorsement or not. He’s there to play the game. He’s there to win. He’s there because baseball is his life.

People think he’s a jerk.

And maybe he is. But if that’s how he has to come off to get people to leave him the hell alone so he can play in peace, so be it. The less people he has to worry about offending, the better.

Don’t let the fear of striking out hold you back. 

Sway Coffman didn’t mean to rock the boat. She was just there to do her job.

Sure, she was a woman in a man’s world. Yes, she beat out several of those men to get the job as head athletic trainer for the professional baseball team, The Texas Lumberjacks. And yeah, she now got hate mail from those men.

But she’s good at her job, and she earned the position.

What she is not good at, however, is talking to men.

Men seem to see her curvy hips, large breasts and thick thighs and automatically think she is incompetent. Because surely a fat girl couldn’t get the job treating some of the most fit and athletic men in the world, right?

Wrong.

This fat girl got the job, and she is proud of it.

What else did she get?

The attention of the sexiest bearded man she’d ever had the pleasure of laying eyes on.

It was enough to bring to her down to her knees…in front of that man, the hot and grumpy baseball player, Hancock Peters.

Pitch Please is the first book in There’s No Crying in Baseball Series.  It’s a brand new sports romance series from Lani Lynn and I immediately want more of these guys after reading this book.

Hancock “Parts” is one hell of a sexy man with no filter.  He says and does anything he pleases and doesn’t care in the least what anyone thinks.  I loved his character immediately and oh, that beard!  I could just picture that on this hot as hell man.

Sway is the athletic trainer for the team and with her coach being her uncle, she has to prove that she can make it in a man’s world, but it’s not easy with her co-worker trying to do everything he can to destroy her chance.  However, Sway doesn’t take it sitting down.  She knows she deserves her job and she proves it.

From that first moment in the dugout, you immediately know this couple needs to get together!  Sway is a tad self-conscious because she knows she is a little curvier than most players are attracted to.  But, not Hancock and he lets her know in every way how much he wants her. He wants some curves to hold onto.

I enjoyed all of the characters from Hancock’s brothers to the team. Sway is sassy and doesn’t let anyone walk on her and Hancock is just pure sex on a stick!  He’s rough and tough and when he knows he wants something or someone, he doesn’t let anything stop him.  I loved that when they thought they were fooling around secretly, well, little did they know that everyone knew already, and expected it!

I have read everything by Lani Lynn and she writes a variety of books, but to write this new sports romance series makes me an even bigger fan.  Her characters make you want more of them and are so likeable (or unlikeable if they’re meant to be) and that’s what I like about Lani Lynn’s writing.  I’ve already fallen for this series and as corny as it seems, it’s a big hit for me!!  I want more of these ball players!

I’m a married mother of three. My kids are all under 5, so I can assure you that they are a handful. I’ve been with my paramedic husband now for ten years, and we’ve produced three offspring that are nothing like us. I live in the greatest state in the world, Texas.
