Review: Spring Training by Parker Kincade

For baseball superstar Garrett Donovan, his contract with the New York Empire baseball team meant he’d finally have the means to secure a future for his family. He should focus on that…not on the sassy, beautiful Jessa Montgomery — or what she looks like naked. Getting involved with the daughter of the Empire’s owner would be career suicide. Jessa is a distraction he can’t afford.

Her father had warned her never to get involved with his athletes, so his request that she keep an eye on his new star player came straight out of left field. The last thing Jessa needs is another spoiled, egotistical ball player to deal with. But Garrett is none of those things. His no-nonsense attitude and smooth Southern charm make her blood burn and her knees weak. Giving into temptation, she is consumed by the pleasure she finds in Garrett’s arms.

Jessa wants to protect his career. Garrett won’t let anything get in the way of their passion.

A passion that could cost him everything.

Reviewer’s Thoughts

SPRING TRAINING is a sizzling story about a hot baseball player who falls for the team owner’s daughter. Jessa Montgomery’s dad owns the New York Empire Major League Baseball team. Jessa loves the game of baseball and works behind the scenes handling the administrative side of the business. She’s focused, driven and responsible, but she spends so much of her time working, she doesn’t have much fun in life.

Jessa’s dad has never wanted her to date baseball players, so she’s surprised when he asks her to spend time with Garrett Donovan, their newest acquisition to the team. Jessa agrees to help Garrett adjust to the team, but from the moment she meets Garrett, she is caught off guard by his sexy grin and sexual energy. Garrett doesn’t want to be attracted to Jessa, but he’s fighting a losing battle. Even though Garrett and Jessa are drawn to each other, they try to keep their relationship platonic; because they don’t want to make Jessa’s dad unhappy.

This is the first book I have read by Parker Kincade and I found it a delightful surprise. The characters are engaging, down to earth people and there’s a lot of steam when they are together. The story is absorbing and Garrett and Jessa’s relationship built at a believable pace. They have an immediate attraction and as their relationship develops they try to overcome the hurdles placed before them and their blossoming relationship. Both of them are strong, independent people who always try to do the right thing and I found it easy to like them. I was rooting for them and hoping they would work things out and find a way to be together. I can’t wait to read more books by Parker Kincade.
