Hardball by CD Reiss 200 pages
5 star review! There are no words to
describe how good Hardball is – it’s that good! Just from reading the synopsis
I couldn’t wait to read this book. As soon as teasers came out, including the
first 3 chapter preview, I was hooked. Release day came and I spent the entire
day anxious to get home, dinner made and the kids fed so I can dive into one of
the most anticipated books (in my opinion) of the spring. The book didn’t
disappoint. After 6 hours, a few interruptions to handle mom duties and a few
hours past when I normally go to bed for the night I finished the book and was
ready to start over from the beginning again. The book had some humor in it, a
few baseball metaphors, a little heart ache and a lot of romance. It’s the best book Christine has written so
far and I can’t wait for the next one. The author’s synopsis is below, along
with a few memorable quotes from the book.
““It’s the glove you love.” I smiled at my joke and like a dumbass at the same time. “You’re a poet” “I know it””
Vivian is a librarian at a low income
school community in LA. She is a kind person, always putting the needs of
others before hers and she’s a huge LA Dodgers fan. Dash, a baseball player for
the LA Dodgers, is not your typical jock. He’s intelligent and kind, a
gentleman through and through and not only does he know his way around a ball
field but he knows how to make a woman come. Did I mention he likes to read and
even quotes Shakespeare while trying to woo Vivian? The two meet when the
school Vivian teaches at goes on a field trip to the stadium. She is collecting
signatures of the team on a baseball as a gift for her father, when she reached
Dash’s table for a signature he accused her of setting up the entire fieldtrip
for her own personal gain. Vivian responded to his accusation with a witty
comment “Thank you. If it was too much trouble to sign without an insult, you
shouldn’t have bothered. My dad probably wouldn’t notice it was missing.” and
left him, unknowingly, lusting after her. He can’t stop thinking about her, and
she can’t stop thinking about him.
“I get it. Sometimes I’d like to put a cock
in my mouth”
Author’s Synopsis below
Perfect
ass.
Perfect arms.
Perfect swagger.
They call Dash Wallace the Diamond King.
He’s the hottest commodity in baseball and in the bedroom.
When he runs the bases, every woman’s eyes are glued to his stunning body and a smile that puts the night lights to shame.
I’m no queen. I’m a regular girl with a regular job. I just watch him on TV and from the bleachers, season after season.
Girls like me grab a guy like that one in a million times.
My number just came up, and he is as spectacular in bed as he is on the field.
But there’s not a woman in the world who can distract Dash Wallace from the game. Not for a moment. Not even me.
Until the night I do. And everything changes.

ABOUT MISTER ORG@SM:
Just call me Mister Orgasm. No, really, I insist. Orgasms are my specialty. Delivering them, administering them, giving them in multiples. Then doing it again for an encore. I'm like the superhero of pleasure, and my mission is to dole out countless toe-curling, mind-blowing climaxes.
But, hey, I'm not just a man with only one superpower. Step right up, and you'll also find a hot exterior, a razor-sharp wit, and a heart of gold. And I don't take a damn thing for granted. Back in the day, I was the quiet guy bent over his notebook drawing cartoons. Now I'm creator of the hottest animated TV show in the world --The Adventures of Mister Orgasm -- and I'm living the good life as the once-upon-a-time-geek-turned-stud. That means I always put the lady first, and her satisfaction is guaranteed.
Then I'm thrown for a loop when a certain woman asks me to teach her everything about how to win a man. Sounds like my kind of mission. The only problem? She's my best friend's sister, but she's far too tempting to resist--especially when I learn that sweet, sexy, witty Harper has a dirty mind too. What could possibly go wrong as I give her some no-strings-attached lessons in seduction?
No one will know, even if we send a few dirty sexts. Okay, a few hundred. Or if the zipper on her dress gets stuck. Not on that! Or if she gives me those sex eyes on the train in front of her whole family.
The trouble is the more nights I spend with her in bed, the more days I want to spend with her out of bed. And for the first time ever, I'm not only thinking about how to make a woman cry out in pleasure --I'm thinking about how to keep her in my arms for a long time to come.
Looks like the real Adventures of Mister Orgasm have only just begun....
**MISTER ORG@SM is a standalone romantic comedy and it follows supporting characters first introduced in BIG ROCK**
