Have you heard the rumor around campus about the locker room?
If you haven't, let me enlighten you: Legend has it if you bring a girl into the sacred after-game domain of the baseball locker room, it will end with a walk down the aisle. One rowdy and naked encounter against the lockers with the girl of your dreams will make her your wife.
Translation: baseball players are stupidly superstitious and believe the locker room has magical powers.
But not all baseball players are superstitious, me included.
So when the girl I've fallen for brushes me off, I start to question if I need to switch my way of thinking. Maybe it's time I finally hand out a coveted invitation to the locker room.
The only question is, will she accept?
I didn’t expect to enjoy The Locker Room nearly as much as I did. It’s a funny and sweet book that I read straight through.
Baseball is the number one sport at Brentwood University and Knox is the star player. Despite assumptions, he isn’t the typical promiscuous college athlete. While there are countless girls ready to throw themselves at Knox’s feet, he only wants Emory. She has some serious baggage, though, and isn’t remotely interested in men. With her sassiness and levelheaded nature, she makes Knox work hard for her affection.
I loved all their banter and flirting. I fell for Knox right along with Emory as he breaks down her defenses with humor, genuine kindness, and persistence. His sexiness and romantic gestures definitely help as well. Knox and Emory have intense heat and the slow build almost killed me, but it provides time for the characters to establish a firm foundation of friendship. It made me love them as a couple even more.
The ending falters somewhat and Emory’s hangups keep returning like a bad rash, but with all the laughter, swooning, and fun cast of characters, this new adult read was a home run for me.

About Meghan Quinn
Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.
Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking.
Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!
The faltered ending was a great way to describe it. It did have a hiccup with Emory at the end. I think it’s my favorite in the series still, though. Maybe. I also really liked that last one. LOL. Anyways. Great review!
