Cleat Chaser by Celia Aaron

Cleat Chaser (The Cleat Chaser Duet, #1)

by Celia Aaron

Kyrie Kent hates baseball. She hates players even more. When her best friend drags her to a Ravens game, she spends the innings reading a book… Until she gets a glimpse of the closer—a pitcher who draws her like a magnet. Fighting her attraction to Easton Holliday is easy. All she has to do is keep her distance, avoid the ballpark, and keep her head down. At least, all that would have worked, but Easton doesn’t intend to let Kyrie walk so easily. When another player vies for Kyrie’s attention, Easton will swing for the fences. But will Kyrie strike him out or let him steal home?

Full disclosure: This is an erotic, standalone romantic comedy full of hot guys in tight baseball pants, even more guys in tight baseball pants who know how to swing a big stick, and explicit sex.

Smutty, smut, smut...

***3.5 Stars***

I'm standing on a see-saw, balancing in the middle. On one side - I laughed myself silly, blushed like crazy and had a few Aw Shucks moments. On the other side - This guy gets really cranky, bordering on psycho chicken and some of the swearing was OTT and unnecessary.

Hmmmm...I'm back in ratings hell.

I really enjoyed Cleat Chaser, but there were times where I was think it was all a little too much.

Now, swearing I don't really have an issue with, unless it's used as part of everyday conversation. I just don't get that. If you feel strongly and swear...sure.

Temper tantrums and cranky pants fights, I'm not a huge fan of either. Who's to say he doesn't turn his cranky pants on his woman?

My husband played baseball and my son now plays baseball, and neither of them would pitch to hit a player on purpose. To me that is bad sportsmanship and it did make me cringe.

Saying that...It's a short erotic tale, so I shouldn't be taking it so seriously. I laughed my head off at the hero, Easton's, lesbian sister, Kasey. She by far was the funniest person in the whole story. She was so rude, crude and socially unacceptable, but you just couldn't help but love her. Easton does some very romantic gestures that nearly made me forget his cranky pants tantrums. Kyrie, the heroine, was a little silly, but mostly she was an intelligent woman. When Easton and Kyrie come together they are HOT!! I definitely got my smutty quota filled.

Cleat Chaser was an interesting read that I managed to finish in one sitting. I paid less than $1.00, had some good belly laughs, blushed a wee bit and swooned at the romantic gestures.
