Major Love
***Strong language and explicit sexual content.
Just when I think Kate Stewart can’t do any better, she manages to prove me wrong. I was a massive fan of her previous book, Anything But Minor, so this one had fairly large shoes to fill. Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit if I didn’t enjoy Major Love just as much, if not more.
Andy is a former minor league baseball player turned pro ball coach/bar owner/craft beer brewer. April is a spunky 911 operator. Both of them are nursing broken hearts when they meet one night. Although Andy is at his absolute worst, their meeting has a profound impact on April and they quickly form a friendship.
I fell majorly in love with this couple. April is outrageously funny and multi-faceted—she’s feisty yet sensitive; spontaneous but dependable; a sexy southern tomboy that loves rap music. She keeps it real and takes no crap, but her huge heart makes her incredibly giving toward her family and friends. Quick witted, caring, and devastatingly charming, Andy is the perfect catch for a certain firecracker who is holding out for Mr. Right. He’s a real romantic with a very dirty mind.
There’s an abundance of consistently clever humor and seriously steamy sexy times. We’re talking get-out-your-fan-and-have-a-spare-pair-of panties-on-hand hot. More importantly, this is a well crafted heartwarming story. I laughed and cheered April and Andy all the way to very last page.
Major Love is easily one of my favorite romantic comedies of the year. If you’re looking for a hilariously entertaining and sizzling sports romance, do yourself a favor and grab this book. Major Love is the second book in the Balls in Play series, and it can be read as a standalone.
