Blurb for Rookie Season
Talented young ballplayer Clay Love has just been called up from the
minors to play major league baseball. Freelance writer and divorcée Rose
Lasting, the world's biggest baseball fan, wasn't expecting to fall in love
when she fell into Clay's arms, but fall in love she did. Now they are caught
up in a whirlwind romance complicated by the paparazzi, Clay's ex-girlfriend,
Rose's ex-husband, and a stalker who puts Rose's life in grave danger. Saving her
life and catching her attacker takes you on a roller coaster of emotion and
intrigue that you won't soon forget.
Rookie Season is the first book in the Love in the Ballpark Series, by
V.K. Robbins. This adult erotic romance tale sizzles with romantic and sexual
chemistry, emotion, and suspense. Once you start reading, you won't be able to
put it down.
Excerpt from Rookie Season
Lots of unexpected things had happened in my life. When Joel
walked out on me after ten years of marriage that was unexpected. When my
grandfather died a few months later that was unexpected, too. It seemed like
all the unexpected things in my life weren't the good kind. Until now.
The game
moved slowly. Painfully so. Then there were extra innings. I wanted to pound my
head on the railing. The only real bright spots were when Clay ran out to take
left field. I sat on the edge of my seat and watched his long easy stride. Did
he really ask me out? I asked myself again and again. Twice during the game
he'd run over to the stands on his way to the dugout and give me the ball he
had just caught. The first time he leaned forward and whispered in my ear,
"I can't wait to see you later." The second time, he handed me the
ball and playfully whined like a little kid, "When is this game going to
be o-o-o-ver?"
I was
thinking the same thing. That's when Sam chimed in again, "There's no way
he's twenty-five. No way." I rolled my eyes and sat down. It looked like
Sam was falling into one of his melancholy moods, the kind that started hitting
him out of the blue after his wife passed away. But even that couldn't ruin my
excitement.
Finally,
the game ended. By that time, I didn't care about the final score or who won. I
hurriedly said goodbye to Sam and jogged my way up the stairs, dodged a bunch
of people, and jumped over a few seats to get to the stadium exit.

Thanks for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the excerpt - sometimes a baseball game seems really long when you are waiting for something else to happen - sounds like Clay is a yummy looking hero
