Review of Hard and Fast (Locker Room Diaries Book 3) by Kathy Lyons
Connor Hart is getting older in a profession where youth is prized above almost anything else. As the catcher for the Indianapolis Bobcats, his body, especially his knees, needs to be in top shape. Unfortunately, 27 years is considered old, and his body has been letting him know it. Connor hates doing press of any kind, especially interviews, but his sister, Sophia, who is also his publicist, insisted. But then she starts screeching at the interviewer, and at Gia Kubic, the team's publicist, Connor just can't deal. And he really can't deal with Gia distracting him all the time. Two years previous, they had a moment, but it's not going to happen now that she works for the team. Or is it? Who's to say they can't sneak around? All they have to do is keep it secret and everything will be fine.
Except it won't be if Sophia has anything to say about it. And Sophia, right there, she's the reason for 3 stars. Well, she and the fact that Connor is kind of a jerk, a judgey asshole who constantly compares Gia to his overbearing, psychotic sister. If I were Gia, I would have kicked Connor to the curb the first time he judged me and accused me of lying like he did to Gia. I did like Gia, and the story itself, though. Sports romances are one of my favorite things, and this one could have been great if only Sophia weren't in it and if Connor weren't a dick and didn't allow his stupid sister to control him and his relationship with Gia.
So I'm giving this a non-passing review, but the writing is good so I'll probably read more of this author in the future.
