BLOG TOUR: Perfect Game by Collette West

Baseball season is almost here.  Spring Training is in full swing.  What better way to welcome the season than with a hot, sexy ballplayer story?  

Title: Perfect Game
Author: Collette West
Genre: Contemporary/Sports Romance

For New York Kings' first baseman Scott Harper, scoring women is easy. He's ready to get naked anytime, anywhere. But when a hacker leaks his nude selfies, he's unprepared for the scrutiny his full-frontals receive.

Carrie McKenzie has a love-hate relationship with her body. No longer the fat chick guys can ignore, she wins the job as the Kings' clubhouse reporter. With her svelte new figure, she nabs an exclusive interview with Scott to get his take on the scandal.

However, the two are already on a first-name basis after Scott came on to her in the hotel bar, and she woke up in his arms. The problem is that Scott doesn't do relationships and Carrie doesn't date jocks, yet the way they burn up the sheets is deserving of more than just a one-night stand.

Scott shows Carrie that he has a sweet, caring side beneath all the swagger. But can she really trust her heart to the biggest player in the game?

About Collette

Collette West grew up as somewhat of a jock-nerd hybrid. Entering the world three weeks premature, her dad nearly missed her birth because he had seats behind the dugout for a sold-out, highly-anticipated match-up between two of baseball's biggest rivals. Not to be outdone, her book-loving mom taught her how to read by the time she was three. A love of the game coupled with an appreciation for the written word were instilled in Collette's impressionable brain from a young age. No wonder her characters believe in the philosophy: sports + romance = a little slice of heaven.

Splitting her time between the Pocono Mountains and Manhattan, Collette indulges her inner fangirl by going to as many games as she can from hockey to baseball and downloading every sports romance novel in existence onto her iPad. When she's not clicking away on her laptop, she enjoys walking her dog in Central Park, satisfying her caffeine craving at the Starbucks on Broadway and keeping an eye out for Mr. Right. But above all, she loves dishing with her readers. Email her at collette_west@yahoo.com.

She is the author of NIGHT GAMES, GAME CHANGER and GAME ON.

Review

I love baseball!  My parents took me to my first professional baseball game when I was still in high school.  A few years later, I had season tickets to that same team.  I've been to spring training. I've been to the playoffs.  I've yet to go to the World Series, but I've been to a World Series celebration parade.  I've had my picture taken with the World Series trophy.  I've been to ballparks from coast to coast.  I love this game.

And I love to read!

So when you put my two loves together, I am in heaven!  And Collette West knows how the game is played.  She doesn't strike out with her stories.  She's not swinging and missing.  She connects!  Her stories bring me back to all those days I spent at the ballpark.  All those summer days listening to the crack of the bat, the sound of the ball hitting the catchers mitt.  That's what Collette West does - she not only tells a story, but she puts you in the ballpark.  

5 baseballs a.k.a stars!

COVER REVEAL: Never Too Late by Micalea Smeltzer

Title: Never Too Late

Series: Willow Creek #2

Author: Micalea Smeltzer

Cover Design: Regina Wamba (Mae I Design)

 Release Date: April 21, 2015

Synopsis

I’d never met anyone quite like Mathias Wade.
 
He was brooding and arrogant, but I loved him anyway.

Together we were wild and uncontained—a hurricane raging.

Then I had to leave, and words were exchanged that could never be undone.

But now I was back, and Mathias better watch out, because this bitch wasn’t finished with him.

Game. Set. Match.

All is fair in love and war, right?

Mathias Wade, the lead singer of Willow Creek, is used to getting everything he wants. Except for Remy Parker—the one that got away. Childhood friends that grew into more, Remy was the one constant in his life until she moved away. In anger, he lashed out and broke the only girl he ever loved. With temptation around every corner Mathias drowns his sorrow in women and alcohol. When the band returns to their hometown for the holidays the last thing Mathias expects is to run into Remy—but she’s back, and she’s not done with him.

Remy never forgot Mathias or the pain he caused her. When she moves back to the place she grew up to take care of her ailing grandma her heart is set on revenge. She’s determined to make Mathias fall in love with her all over again—only this time she’s going to break his heart.

But Mathias never stopped loving Remy—and she soon discovers that her feelings haven’t disappeared either.

Can two people too stubborn for their own good overcome their own demons and find the love they always deserved?

Excerpt

I jumped up on the counter and he moved to stand in front of me, bracing his hands beside my hips. I kicked my legs against the cabinets like a little kid as he stared down at me intensely. I wasn’t sure what he was looking for in my eyes, but he must have found it, because he cupped my cheek and leaned in.

“This feels like when we were younger,” he whispered. “Like no time at all has passed.” His words echoed my previous thoughts.

I closed my eyes, feeling his breath fan across my lips.

God, I’d missed him.

It didn’t seem possible to miss someone I’d grown to hate, but I did.

I was pretty sure that when someone like Mathias came into your life they were impossible to forget.

He was like the sun, burning so bright that even once he was gone I was still blinded.

“Did you ever miss me?” I asked. “Even once?” I held my breath, waiting for him to explode—because that was Mathias. He could be nice one minute and an asshole the next. I wouldn’t put it past him to kick me out for my question.

Instead he surprised me by leaning in impossibly closer and nuzzling my neck. “Always.”

Title: #Player

Series: Hashtag Series

Author: Cambria Hebert

Genre: NA Contemp/College Romance

Release Date: March 9, 2015

Players gotta play.

Hate is like a poison. It contaminates everything.

So does doubt.

Even though I deny what I overheard, even though I insist it isn’t true, the seed of doubt has been planted. I can’t help but be tormented with the endless what-if’s that have taken over our lives.

Romeo and I were happy in love. The future stretched before us brighter than any star in the darkest sky. Now everything is broken. Literally broken. Romeo’s entire career is at stake, my entire future is threatened… and my past?

It’s coming back to haunt me.

To haunt us.

Romeo says we’re in this together and right now the only sure thing is us. But how far can a love so new be pushed? The lengths we will have to go to save each other puts everything at risk.

Romeo is a #player but how much of the game can one person play?

Roc n' Read Review:  
This whole series is simply amazing!  The characters, the storyline, the suspense, the romance....every single page hits right where you want your favorite books to hit - in the heart and soul.  These are characters that will stay with you.  They will live inside your mind so they will be with you all day, every day.  You will want to live in their world.  Romeo and Rimmel are the stars, so far, but Braeden is going to burrow his way into your soul and you are going to see him steal the show in #Player.  And like me, you are going to be so excited to know that he'll continue the fun with #Selfie.

5 huge shiny stars for the entire series!!

Roc n' Read Review:
I love, love, love this series!  Have I said that before?  Well, if I did, it's so true.  I discovered Cambria with Torch, from the Take It Off series, and I loved all of those.  But with the Hashtag series, she has blown me away.  I can't think of any characters that I have loved more.  I really want to crawl inside his book and live there.  I want to be an Alpha (and I have the t-shirt and hoodie to prove it!)  I adore Rimmel, and while I admit to a little crush on Romeo, I have to confess, Braeden has stolen my heart.  (Shh, don't tell my husband.)  Braeden stole the show in #Player and I can not wait to continue this series with his story.  

5 huge neon Stars!
