Strike is the second
book in the Completion Series. There is no connection to Play (book I) except
the sports theme. Strike is a standalone HEA novel.
Nineteen-year-old
Jaycee Shumway breaks into professional baseball player, Reed Tyler’s home, to
steal the second most valuable set of balls he owns. Neither of them expect
their striking attraction or battle of wills to lead them to a homerun.
Jaycee has more than
herself to worry about. When Reed discovers she has a younger brother and
sister, he’s quickly caught up in their world of need and heartbreak.
Baseball season begins
and the separation puts Reed and Jaycee’s game on hold. With bases loaded and
hearts on the line, will Reed convince Jaycee that she needs him to win or will
Jaycee strike out and walk off the field forever?
This New Adult book is intended for mature
audiences.
His husky laughter rang
out, drowning me in the sexy sound. Why couldn’t he snort like a pig or
something just as ridiculous when he laughed?
“You’re very concerned
about my balls,” he said when his laughter died away.
My smartass mouth took
front and center. “If you remember… I’ve seen your balls and it would be
unsporting of me not to be concerned.”
Oh, God, his eyes
sparkled and I would do anything to take back my words and the thoughts they
conjured.
Reed wouldn’t let it
pass. “I’ve seen a fair amount of you and that also causes me concern. So much
concern that I didn’t sleep well last night.”
Mortification
anyone?
“A gentleman wouldn’t
bring that up.”
This time, his laugh was
plain evil. “A gentleman wouldn’t have cut away your shirt and bra. A gentleman
wouldn’t have admired your tits. A gentleman wouldn’t do
this…”
I had no time to prepare
for what happened next. His warm lips took mine at the same time his hands
closed around my upper arms, trapping me. My entire body reacted to the kiss. I
grew light-headed, my breasts ached, and my heart almost exploded out of my
chest. But it was the taste of his mouth that had me squeezing my thighs
together. I never knew anyone could taste this good. There was no description
on earth that did it justice. I wanted to eat him whole.

Striker is one of my personal favorites from Holly Roberts. It had the right amount of everything. Can't wait for the next in the series.
