I loved this book. CD Reiss didn't make Dash a baseball God who could do no wrong, lived a charmed life and everyone loved him. Dash had quirks and those quirks lead to issues when he found the one woman who would fit into his neatly aligned box.

Vivian was the perfect fit for Dash. Despite being a huge Dodgers fan and knowing exactly who Dash was, she didn't let him get away with much from the first moment she met him. Sure she had her fan girl moments, but she saw beyond baseball and Dash's good looks to the man and his heart.

This was such a great read. It was sexy as hell. Dash was the ultimate dirty talking dominant male and he pushed Vivian to be much more open sexually than she ever had been. Those moments burned up the pages. But it also packed an emotional punch, from both characters, that had me vacillating between turning the pages as fast as I could to wanting to slow down so I could enjoy it longer.
