Trista’s movie star status keeps her from the one guy she’s ever really wanted—professional baseball player, Ryker Stone.

Ryker Stone, one of the famed Belltown Six Pack loves what no one else notices in Trista McKinney. But when co-star and heart throb, Trevor Dayton, starts a social media campaign, competing for her attention, and Ryker’s baseball schedule and pressures amp up, Ryker lays it all on the line to win her over forever.

Trista McKinney doesn’t need winning. She’s been Ryker’s from the very beginning, but her movie’s production schedule and her dreams of one day winning an Oscar make it almost impossible for things to progress between the two.

With feelings high, both of their careers in the balance, can Trista and Ryker find a path to professional success without losing what they’ve found in each other?
 

My Review: 4 Stars

This is a fantastic series! I have loved getting to know each member of the Belltown Six Pack better and this was Rabbit's story. He's really fast and really lucky, on and off the field, but a last minute date with up-and-coming actress, Trista, puts him in a whole new league. These two each have high profile careers, which makes for some drama, but the heart knows the truth.

I thought this author did a great job of portraying the demands of a pro athlete's career, as well as a Hollywood actress's. Meshing these two difficult schedules isn't easy, but true love is worth it, if they can overcome the publicity and their individual insecurities. I love how deep and real both Ryker and Trista are--they're not conceited and full of themselves, but have issues to work on and love to find.

The flirting and romantic tension is almost palpable at times and I really enjoyed the stolen swoony moments, as well as the camaraderie that comes from being a part of this Six Pack.

This is one series that I'm sad to see come to an end--one more book to go! This is a great series for any romance fan, sports lover or not.

Content: mild romance (kissing, some innuendo)
