ABOUT THE BOOK

Jimmy

Another headline. What else was new?

You’d think reporters could focus on the important things in the world. But they loved to write about me, Jimmy Hall, the best pitcher in the league . . . especially when I got caught screwing up.

Thanks to the incriminating pictures from my last trip to Vegas, the team’s general manager assigned me a branding expert. I was ready to tell him I was fine on my own, but then my expert walked in, and I practically forgot my own name.

Sommer Bennett had curves in all the right places and lips that could make a man stupid. Too bad she couldn’t stand me. Even worse, she was the owner’s granddaughter, making her off-limits.

Or was she?

Sommer

When Granddad said he had a job for me, I couldn’t have been more excited. I pictured myself as the vice president of player relations or next in line to take over the Hawks. Instead, he wanted me to babysit the most arrogant player on the team: Jimmy Hall.

It didn’t matter that the man was drop-dead gorgeous or had the most strikeouts in the league. He was a PR nightmare—and now my nightmare. I’d graduated top of my class and have a master’s in business, yet I still needed to prove myself. Jimmy Hall would not be the reason I didn’t get the title I deserved. I just couldn’t fall for his charm.

Some things are easier said than done.

When it comes to books, she uses them as an escape from reality . . . to get swept away. Carina hopes her words do the same for her readers.

She’s a mother and wife and loves spending time with her family. She enjoys meeting new people, traveling, reading, watching sports, and, of course, relaxing on a beach.

​

Carina looks forward to sharing more love stories in her future novels.

I received a complimentary early release e-book prior to release and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is book 2 in a series, but it also can easily stand alone. The first book is The Scout, and it stars the MMC, Jimmy's parents and he is 14 in that book. In this book he is 24 and his dad is his manager and his mom one of his best friends. He is now a star baseball player and let's just say he had a bit of a wild vacation.

Sommer was raised by her grandparents, and they own their own baseball team. At 27 she hopes to be GM one day. But unfortunately, after Jimmy has a wild vacation, he becomes her job. Yes, there is a slight age gap reverse here, but it is very slight and never really an issue. What is, is the fact they both are very attracted but in a bit of an unofficial forbidden relationship.

This story was absolutely awesome. I seriously couldn't flip the pages fast enough. I loved Jimmy and Sommer so much. They are so much fun. They flirt and she gives him a tough time and he just flirts back. I loved Jimmy so much, much more than I did even in The Scout.

Sommer is an awesome character as well. She definitely had Jimmy's number from day one and they are just so much fun together. The chemistry, the sex scenes and the flirtatiousness were just great. I also loved Sommers grandparents, especially her grandmother and it was so great to see Jimmy's parents again and he has a sister.
