From the back of the book:
After a woman claims she’s pregnant with Wade O’Riley’s love child, Major League Baseball’s most celebrated catcher and ladies’ man is slapped on the wrist by management and ordered to improve his image. His enforcer is the team’s publicist, the tough and sexy Samantha McNead.
When Wade needs a date for a celebrity wedding, Sam steps up to the plate as his “girlfriend.” But given her secret crush on him and that one awkward night a year ago in a stalled elevator with too much Scotch, the whole thing is an exercise in sexual tension.
Wade is thrilled when the pretense turns into an unexpected night of hot passion. But the next day Sam is back to her cool self. As a catcher, Wade’s used to giving the signals, not struggling to read them. Now, to win the love of his “pretend” girlfriend, he needs a home run - even if it involves stealing a few bases…
This is a perfect contemporary romance. Wade and Sam were first introduced in DOUBLE PLAY, so I already knew that I was going to love this book. They were a fun sub-plot and I was excited to read their whole story. This book has lots of the trademark Shalvis wit. I love to read her books, because they make me laugh and feel. In addition to the romance this story contains family drama. Both characters have less than perfect fathers and that helps to shape how they interact and feel about each other. I loved this book and can’t wait to see what Ms. Shalvis does next!!
the book girl gives SLOW HEAT by Jill Shalvis a 5/5
