To those who are Mother’s – by birth, choice, circumstance, and/or have fur babies… I hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable weekend with that special someone(s) in your life.
My husband planned an amazing weekend which included dinner with both college kids at the same time. The logistics alone while not covert meant I had time to catch up with my oldest on our drive – thankful and blessed.
Today we went to a museum and walked around spending time together. Sometimes you just have to live, laugh, and walk in the rain.
Now home and in dry comfy clothes I’m curled up enjoying homemade treats, a warm cup of coffee, and a fully charged kindle.
Thank you @post_hill_press @harperstgeorge @avonbooks @brendarothert @montlake_publishers and @robyn_dehart for filling my e-reader with these #gifted e-arcs.

A M/M baseball romance layered with emotions, and exceptionally crafted character and plot arcs.
“Batter Up” for all the “feels” on and off the field in this spicy reads. You’ll find lots of chemistry, sexual tension, shenanigans, banter, angst, and the spice is 🔥! Note that Lizzie has added an extra layer of sensitivity allowing her intimacy scenes to not feel sterile and informative to the reader.
Always honest, always my own, and thankful to Lizzie C. Koz for a gifted advance e-reader copy.
Note: I had the privilege of beta reading this book and enjoyed getting to know Shane and Jed from the first to last page. I’m so excited this is now available so you can enjoy this must read spicy+ hot M/M baseball romance.
