Pitcher Perfect, Tessa Bailey

Story Blurb

Boston Bearcats rookie Robbie Corrigan is living the dream. He’s made it to the NHL, his best friend/teammate and fellow “orgasm donor” is his roomie—and the women of Boston love them both. Life is sweet. That is, until he meets Skylar Paige, division 1 softball pitcher, girl least likely to take anyone’s bull…and the one member of the opposite sex immune to his charms. Robbie might be dazzled by the badass pitcher, but Skylar pegs him as a filthy player and wants nothing to do with him.

When he discovers she’s carrying a serious torch for her brother’s best friend, Robbie knows he should just go back to clubbing and whipped cream bikini parties, but he can’t seem to leave Skylar to flounder on her romantic quest to land another man. Nor can he miss out on the opportunity to spend time with her and hopefully redeem himself. Before Robbie knows it, he’s agreed to be Skylar’s fake boyfriend/love coach at an upcoming family wilderness competition where her crush will be in attendance. What could go wrong?

Through a series of contests that require them to trust each other, Robbie and Skylar grow closer and closer until their fake relationship starts to feel like the realest thing they’ve ever known and the sizzling lessons in sensuality burn out of control.

But it’s all just pretend…right?

My Thoughts/Opinion

As I've mentioned before, I either fall hard for Tessa Bailey's books or they leave me disappointed. Such as it has been for this series. Book 1, good not great. Book 2, phenomenal. Book 3, disappointing. I was anxious about starting this one because I didn't want to be disappointed twice in a row. And I wasn't! This wasn't as good as book 2, but it was surprisingly awesome. Robby Corrigan was NOT a character I was excited to read about. But his transformation in this story, and Skylar's badassery (and weaknesses) were a great combination. I loved this story and their obstacles and although the resolution was a little light, their love for each other and how it was displayed on the page did my little romantic heart good! Now, I'm back to being excited about the next book in this series.

Favorite Quote:

“Time moved in slow motion as she jumped into his arms, her warm laugh bubbling in his ear. And eventually sighing into his neck when he banded both arms around her and held, locking her curves tight to his frame, his eyes rolling blissfully into the back of his head over the way she fit him, absorbing the perfect feeling of the girl who was going to get away.”
