The bad boys of baseball, they are the top power hitters of the Richmond Rogues, and the team’s best hope for a shot at the World Series. But when all three have to be benched for brawling, it’s the beginning of a whole new ball game.
PSYCHO hits a home run with a decorator who manages to dress up his derelict Colonial while undressing him.
ROMEO slams it out of the park with a female reporter who is the first woman to throw hardballs at the third baseman known for his sweet talk and bedroom eyes.
CHASER almost strikes out with the girl next door, the one he always took for granted until he discovers she's known where his sweet spot was all along.
In the bottom of the ninth, with the bases loaded, each man realizes that happiness is just within reach, even when love throws a…Curveball. |
RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS: 
Awwwww, this one is so cute that I have decided that maybe some of the athletes I think of as heartless, philandering, groupie-loving mongrels, are human, too. NOT!
Seriously, Kate Angell hit a home run with CURVEBALL. The leading men are too hot to imagine, while their chosen women are smart, feisty, and independent. Add in the setting of America's favorite past time—baseball, for those of you that don't what that is—fun but meaningful dialogue, and it's a great contemporary read.
