Rhys Rivera is
the star short-stop for the Longview Lumberjacks. Many know him, even more love
him. He has a pretty face, a quick smile, and an air of danger about him that
everyone seems to adore.
He’s not known
as the bad boy of baseball for nothing.
It all started
with his father, who decided to be a criminal mob boss, then die.
Fortunately for
his uncle, Rhys wants absolutely nothing to do with the family business and
runs before anyone can figure out which way is up.
By the time his
uncle, the successor to his father’s criminal empire, thinks to look for him,
Rhys has made too big of a name for himself to be taken out quietly, and he
wants to keep it that way.
Fast forward
eight years, and Rhys is living life one breath at a time, just waiting for the
other shoe to drop. That shoe coming in the form of a nosy neighbor who has no
idea just how hot she is in her mail carrier uniform.
Her sweet little
body and positive outlook on life make him want to laugh at how naïve she is
when it comes to the way of the world.
The harder he
tries to stay away, the weaker he seems to get, until one day he decides to put
his morals on hold long enough to satisfy his cravings.
One time is all
he needs—or so he tells himself.
But then two
pink lines change everything, and all of a sudden, he doesn’t have just himself
to worry about anymore.
As much as I
love MC stories, I love Lani Lynn Vale’s sports series even more. I don’t know
what it is about them, but man oh man do I love them. Maybe it’s the vision of
these hot alpha males in tight baseball pants.
Listen Pitch
starts out with an unexpected punch to the gut. The first few chapters tore my
heart to shreds and then was quickly pieced back together. Rhys Rivera is a pro
baseball player for the Lumberjacks who had a neighbor that he quickly got to
know. His neighbor, Henley, was quite possibly a God send. She was there when
he needed it the most. Life threw a curve ball at Rhys and Henley was there to
swing and hit. Without her, I don’t believe that he would have been around to
live his life. They picked each other up, dusted each other off and battled the
demons together. The two, one hundred percent, make a power couple.
Listen Pitch is
definitely among my favorites from Lani. It’s filled with love, lust, humor,
devastation and loss. However, it’s written so beautifully that you couldn’t
imagine the outcome any other way. Another home-run!!
WOW!! This series just keeps getting better and better!! I just love Lani’s books. You never know what you are going to get!!
Rhys plays short-stop for the Longview Lumberjacks but a curve ball has been thrown his way. It’s too bad that this isn’t the first times things have gone sour for him.
Henley is just an amazing person. She works at the post office at night sorting mail but what set her apart from most is the fact that she helps out her sister with her kiddo and not only that; she spends the rest of her free time volunteering at the hospital.
This story was so sweet and had a great flow and then all hell broke loose. This book gave me a run for my money, but it was AMAZING!! I loved the chemistry between Rhys and Henley and I just loved them both as people. I want to say these two are my favorite couples of Laniverse but I really can’t. I think every book has a quirky story that we all just die for.
