BOOK REVIEW...Spring Training (Game On #1) by Parker Kincade

For baseball superstar Garrett Donovan, his contract with the New York Empire baseball team meant he’d finally have the means to secure a future for his family. He should focus on that…not on the sassy, beautiful Jessa Montgomery — or what she looks like naked. Getting involved with the daughter of the Empire’s owner would be career suicide. Jessa is a distraction he can’t afford.

Her father had warned her never to get involved with his athletes, so his request that she keep an eye on his new star player came straight out of left field. The last thing Jessa needs is another spoiled, egotistical ball player to deal with. But Garrett is none of those things. His no-nonsense attitude and smooth Southern charm make her blood burn and her knees weak. Giving into temptation, she is consumed by the pleasure she finds in Garrett’s arms.

Jessa wants to protect his career. Garrett won’t let anything get in the way of their passion.

A passion that could cost him everything.

“You're mine, Jessa. I’m not going anywhere. Unless it’s to find a more appropriate place to get you naked."

If you're a fan of Jaci Burton's Play by Play series and Toni Aleo's Assassins series (a hockey themed series) then "Spring Training" is for you!

Garrett Donovan is a baseball superstar looking "to secure a future for his family."  He meets Tessa Montgomery, daughter of his boss, and things get sticky.

Basically, Garrett and Tessa's relationship was a steamy play of cat and mouse.  Steamy because from the get go they were already ripping each other's clothes off and having sex.  And cat and mouse because they had to hide their relationship away from everyone, especially Tessa's father.

I'm curious know as to where Ms. Kincade plans to take the next book as I assume that this is a series by judging by the title.  If there is a next book then I hope it'll be on Tyler, Garrett's BFF and fellow teammate on his baseball team.

Random liners:
“Did you touch yourself this last month, baby? Did you pet that sweet pussy and think of me?”

“What do you say, princess?  Meet me at my place after?” “Let me guess. You want me waiting, naked and in your bed?"
