❛ It feels like a thousand lifetimes have brought me to this moment on the floor, on my knees before a woman I love. ❜

The storyline embraced a classic forbidden sport romance narrative with an arrogant, attractive, famous baseball player, Grant Navarro. And a full of life, young nurse, Tate Allen who vowed to never date professional sport players because of the cliché that her brother’s teammates have always reflected, cheaters and players in and out of the field. But what happens when she meets the man of her dreams but of course, he is her new brother’s teammate and therefore off-limits? Chemistry, chemistry, chemistry 🎶 and a fair amount of sex frustration not satisfied..

“So you’re attracted to me?”
“As if I conjured you out of a fantasy.”
“The feeling’s mutual.”

The romance was drawn as an additive slowburn despite their very first, explosive, hot encounter. Their chemistry emphasized along the lines of their push and pull dynamic where Grant was certain and honest about his feelings for Tate. She, on the other hand, was a bit reticent and tried more than once to escape the inevitable, them being together. Grant’s patience and stubbornness to prove Tate wrong and discredit her irrational fear of having a "professional baseball player" as a life partner carried the storyline. HE carried the storyline!

"I thought you were done with me.” He shakes his head. “Not in this lifetime, Tate.”

Their bond was slowly building with the way they were tiptoeing and orbiting around their group of friends and family and the way they played an important role in their "pre-relationship" added some colors and nuances into the plot. Their dynamic with them all being so close and tight brought so much fun and good vibes into the storytelling. All in all, it was a quick and enjoyable read!
