Blog Tour & Review: Stealing Second











Cecilia

Fresh out of college, I stumbled into the opportunity of a lifetime. A classmate of my favorite professor was looking to retire and sell his animal hospital. With a lot of help and a giant push from my sister and her husband, I made an offer. I’m now the proud owner of Wags Veterinary Hospital in Trenton, New Jersey.

Life is good. I have a home with a beautifully landscaped lawn, a business that I love, and an amazing tribe of friends who encourage me to “put myself out there.” Truth be told, I prefer animals over most people. I’m happy with the occasional girls’ night in and catching a glimpse of the hot neighbor, who I undeniably fantasize about, and do so often.

Those fantasies, however, come to a dramatic end when I see him walking his new puppy on my property and not cleaning up its mess, twice. There’s nothing hot about a man who doesn’t take care of his shit, or his dog’s. Nothing.

Fantasy ruined.

Roman

Who gets a second chance at playing professional baseball after turning it down once before? This guy. I thought it was too good to be true, but my family encouraged me to take the opportunity and see what would happen. That’s exactly what I did, with zero expectations.

When I got the call that I was being pulled up from the minors to the majors, it was no longer an opportunity; it was a reality. Adjustments had to made. I was going to be calling Trenton, New Jersey, home for a while; therefore, my minor league lifestyle had to change. No more cleat chasers or hookups. I had to focus.

The problem with this is, my focus is on the hot redhead next-door, and she … well, she can’t stand me.

If I’ve learned anything in the past couple years, it’s that baseball is magic. It’s not in the game itself; it’s in the lessons taught about endless opportunities.

Right now, I’m on first, just waiting for the opportunity to steal second.

This is the second book of the series and fans of the Steel series will LOVE this one.  So many familiar faces!  And Memphis Black annnnddd Tris's band!  All great fan girl worthy moments.

And then we meet Roman Hart.  Oh my.  A bit grumpy at first but he has a golden heart and is just an all around great person. He's grumpy about trying to not fall in love since his heart was burned before. But once he starts getting to know his neighbor CeCe, all bets are off. 

We know CeCe as the baby sister of Chloe. This group of friends grew up on Texas together and are not mostly located in Trenton.  The banter and hanging out together times are some of the best I have read. Cece and Rome are perfect together. I love how he goes with her pace and her need for safety and security. 

There is a bit of tension and a dramatic climax to the story. But these two hold true and support each other. Really Heart describes the both of them to a tee.  They both are about family and trust and having each other's backs.  

Loved meeting more of the team. Rome's family is awesome and well.  Would love to see Jillian and Hudson get some love! 

I can't wait to reach the next one.  Lots of fireworks coming between Locke and Gwen I think! 

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
