second-chance romance as scorching hot as a baseball diamond in August.Slater “Savage” Harlow
Winning the MVP award for the Birmingham Bandits last year was the highlight of
my baseball career. It was the culmination of childhood dreams, calculated
adult decisions, sacrifice, and a hell of a lot of focus. Tearing my ACL in
spring training? Not what I expected at all.
Now I’m home, in small town Georgia, rehabbing in the comfort of my own home,
with people I know. I’m connecting with friends I haven’t had time to talk to
in years, spending days at home with my parents, and getting to watch my little
brother play minor league baseball.
What I don’t expect is to see Malone Fulcher walking into Del’s Diner one
morning while having my coffee and egg whites.
She’s old flame, the one who got away, and the woman I compare all others to.
Malone Fulcher
Spending the summer in my hometown wasn’t what I had planned, but it’s what I
need. Recovering from a hard year, both personally and professionally, I need
to reconnect with who I am. When my mom encouraged me to come home and do some
soul searching, I can’t say no.
Memories are all over this small town, from the Baptist Church to the east
field on my parents farm, to the diner. On my second day in town, I decide to
go in, memories be damned.
I lost my breath as soon as I saw “Savage” Harlow sitting alone at a
booth. Our eyes lock, my heart flutters, and my hands shake – all the same way
they did back in high school. But back then we couldn’t make it work. Going our
separate ways to differing colleges, we decided we weren’t meant to be.
A decade later, as soon as our eyes meet, I’m wondering if we were right,
because those green eyes of his do nothing but take me to a past that I can see
being my future.
Author’s Note: This does end in somewhat of a cliffhanger!
❤️My Review:
Hush my heart! So emotional, angsty and heartbreaking. Terrific writing propels this story of a second chance at love to another level of wonderful. Just fantastic! This author is a MVP. High school sweethearts, Slate and Malone, thought their young love was forever but life got in the way. These two are so hot together with explosive chemistry. We follow Slate and Malone through their ups and downs of college life, professional sports, tough times and regrets. When they both returned to where it all began they reconnect and the feelings are still there. Can they get it right this time? This first part of the duet is a smart and sexy love story with characters you root for. Can’t wait for the next conclusion.
When she’s not writing alpha males who seriously love their women, she loves spending time with friends, reading, and marathoning shows on her DVR. Married to her high school sweetheart, Laramie lives in Bowling Green, KY with her husband (the Travel Coordinator) and a sometimes crazy cat named Beau.
