STEALING HIS HEART is a captivating baseball romance with characters that are easy to relate to and off the charts chemistry. Sophia Ballis has just graduated from college with a teaching degree and hopes of becoming a music teacher. While out for a run she literally runs into professional baseball player, Paxton Hughes the newest pitcher for the Kingston Crushers. Sophia is tongue tied and her shyness intrigues Paxton, who usually has women throwing themselves at him. Paxton’s never met anyone like Sophia and he finds himself instantly attracted to her and protective.

Baseball’s always been Paxton’s first priority and he’s never had time for a relationship. He has a well earned playboy reputation and is seldom with the same woman twice. Sophia knows about Paxton’s reputation and worries he may hurt her, but Paxton does his best to show Sophia that she’s different from all the other women in his wild past. I liked everything about Paxton, especially his southern drawl. He’s a nice guy who enjoys his fame and fortune and is now ready to find a nice girl and settle down. From the moment Paxton meets Sophia, there’s no doubt in his mind she’s the one and he continually tries to prove much how he cares for her. Paxton’s sweet, down to earth and even though he’s one of the best pitchers in the league, it hasn’t gone to his head. There’s a lot of passion and heat whenever Paxton and Sophia are together. This is the second book in this series and each one is a stand-alone. Ella Jade writes an intoxicating story and I can’t wait to read more in the Kingston Heat series.
