Review / Release Blitz: Line Drive (Hit and Run #2) by E.M. Lindsey


Line Drive by E.M. Lindsey is now live!


James "Scooter" Harney is good at two things and two things only:

Pitching...
...and running away from his feelings.

So, when he comes face to face with a high school baseball coach who gets under his skin like no one ever has before, James isn't quite sure what to do about it. After all, Ridley is smarmy, annoying, ridiculously good looking...

And worst of all, straight.

Then, James' world is turned upside down one evening when Ridley admits that he's been having thoughts. Thoughts about James. Thoughts that are making him question his own identity.

James knows he won't make a good boyfriend, but the way Ridley looks at him, the way Ridley trusts him, makes James realize that maybe—just maybe—there's something worth fighting for.

MY REVIEW

James had a hard life but has made something of himself now as a professional baseball player. His life isn't all that, though - he's so lonely and doesn't know what the missing piece is. Until he purchases a bookstore in this small town and meets an awesome kid and his dad. Perhaps they can fill the holes in his heart and life?

Ridley has always thought he was straight. He has a lot going on in his life, raising his son who has his own set of issues, and has not been worrying too much about it until his son Phoenix gives him what could be the greatest gift of his life - James "Scooter" Harney. Both the men will have to work double time, though, to make a relationship work, because their individual baggage could be an obstacle they cannot overcome.

This was pretty slow burn, and they weren't a couple for much of the story, what with both pushing away due to the baggage I mentioned above. Their chemistry is fairly hot, but I admit to wanting more intensity between the two, and a stronger connection. The real standout for me was Ridley's son - a very precocious teen with a strong sense of self, a sassy mouth, and a big heart. I didn't end up liking Line Drive as much as James' friend Pietro's story, Switch-Hitter, but I still mostly enjoyed it, and loved Phoenix.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
