Too Hot to Handle
by Katie Rose
3.5 - 4 stars
ARC received from Random House/LoveSwept via Netgalley for an honest review.
Too Hot to Handle is a sweet, predictable read, a great way to fill in a lazy afternoon.
I enjoyed that even though this is set in the baseball environment, it is more about the players than the actual game.
Jake Baldwin - star of the Sonics. I loved him right from the start, even with all his cockiness. We could see from the start through the wise ass to the man behind.
Nikki Case is the PR lady hired to clean up the team image. They are kind of like the crazy cousins of the major league, no one takes them serious and they are considered the league's bullies.
Right from the get go the sexual tension between Jake and Nikki was flying around whenever they were in close proximity. You can't fake that kind of attraction.
The thing I liked about Nikki was that yes, even though she was wary of starting any kind of relationship with Jake, she was not one of those "oh why would he be interested in me" kinds of girls.
Of course there was the requisite misunderstanding that is there to break our lovelies apart, and while it was nothing new, I felt that it played out well.
There was a great side story with a young by named Joaquin that I thought brought greater depth to Jake.
I loved the other players and employees of the team, and there are some that I would like to know more about.
Even though this was the 2nd book in this series, I did not feel that I missed anything by not reading the first book - which I will eventually get back and do.
