BLURB ➼
Can you pinpoint a time in your life where you realized you are completely and utterly screwed?
I can. I got the dreaded phone call, the one every baseball player hopes and prays never comes.
I was traded. Yeah, that phone call.
Traded from my long time team of over ten years. And not just to any team, but my childhood rivals; the Chicago Rebels.
Completely and utterly screwed, right? Wrong. The trade was the least of my concerns.
I met a girl. Natalie. Man, she’s perfect.
I swore I would never get involved with anyone during the season. Too complicated. But can you believe I have zero restraint when it comes to this girl? I couldn’t get her out of my head and the more I talked to her, the more I realized I needed her in my life.
So what’s the problem? Why am I screwed? Because, Natalie, the girl I can’t stop crushing on, yeah . . . she’s married.
At least, that’s what I was told . . .
She’s so fucking ridiculous, the cute kind of ridiculous that’s amusing to be around.
ARC REVIEW ➼
Cory Potter. The Boss. The one man whose story I have been waiting for. He does not disappoint.
Cory has been traded midseason to a team that doesn’t welcome him, fans who can’t help but boo him and a team he grew up disliking his entire life, the Rebels. The benefit is he is back home, close to his family, especially his baby sister Milly, however, with that comes his new brother in law and their group of friends, including his new teammate Jason. Natalie, who just so happens to be Jason’s sister, is in charged of a charity organization. When Cory first spots Natalie at an event he is drawn to her, however, there is one problem. She is married. Flash forward some months, Natalie is newly divorced, Cory still wants her and they are on vacation together with their friends and family.
I loved Cory and Natalie’s story. There was so much chemistry between the two of them and the tension between them will have you wanting more. They had such an easily flow about them and their banter had me laughing so many times. They both want each other, but neither of them is willing to give in. It was a little frustrating at times and I was yelling at my kindle for them to just give in, but it was worth the wait.
Of course, when they entire crew was together, I was dying of laughter, especially when it came to anything involving Jason. Their family and friends were supportive and pushed them together so many times.
The Trade is heartwarming, hilarious, a frustrating slow burn that is worth the wait and everything I love about Meghan Quinn’s books! A MUST READ!
