Madden Donahue, the newest catcher for the Yankees, has been in love with Eve Mitchell since high school, but for some mysterious reason, the burlesque club owner always turns him down. That never stopped him from being her self-appointed protector. Case in point, now that Eve\u2019s sister has left Eve with her two children indefinitely, Madden steps in with a proposition\u2014marry him for the much needed health benefits. Eve has secretly harbored feelings for Madden all along, but there\u2019s one problem\u2014her best friend Skylar called dibs on him when they were fourteen. Eve has always put their friendship above all else, and she\u2019s not willing to risk losing Skylar over a man. Raised by the local strip club owner, Eve is woefully short on friends and treasures the ones she has. But with Skylar happily paired off, Eve finds herself accepting Madden\u2019s proposal\u2014on the condition that their marriage remains strictly private. She\u2019s not about to let her unique profession and maligned reputation destroy Madden\u2019s shiny new career. Madden won\u2019t let Eve get away that easily, though. What starts as a marriage of convenience soon ignites into something much hotter, and now it\u2019s up to Madden to convince Eve that their connection is far more than a business arrangement. As the passion builds, can their fake marriage become the real deal?<\/p>\n

Love at first sight, second chances, a marriage of convenience, and a benefits-filled, undeniably steamy relationship\u2014this sports romance has it all. Add in two genuinely adorable main characters, explosive chemistry, and yes, an unapologetically exhibitionist heroine, and you get a story where the pages are practically on fire. The chapters sizzle, with passion and intimacy driving the emotional core as much as the romance itself. I adored this book. I absolutely loved the twins, and the supporting cast\u2014especially Full Bush Rhonda\u2014added so much heart and humor. Madden and Eve are endlessly lovable together, and their connection feels both emotionally grounded and irresistibly hot.<\/p>\n

4.5 stars for this one! This is an engaging, steamy, and deeply heartwarming sports romance that I completely devoured. Easily one of my favorite books in the series.<\/p>\n
