The Heat of the Moment

The Bad Boys of Baseball are back! In Katie Rose’s sweet, sparkling novel, the newest New Jersey Sonic falls for the woman who’s trying desperately to save his career. Physical therapist Jessica Hart has learned her lesson: Never date professional athletes. She’s been down that road, and barely recovered after the relationship crashed and burned. Then Jessica meets Gavin King. An All-Star slugger with chiseled good looks, Gavin was traded to the Sonics because he hurt his knee sliding into second, and now his future is in her hands. Gavin’s no bad boy—but he’s tempting enough to make Jessica think twice about all her rules. Gavin is trying to find a comfortable routine. If he wants his old life back, he must take it easy, stay out of the limelight, and keep his distance from gorgeous redheaded physical therapists. The thing is, Gavin isn’t the kind of guy to sit on his ass and let other people pull his weight. And when he sees something he wants, he can’t help but fight for it, even if it means risking everything, even if it only lasts a single moment: like one kiss from Jessica. Praise for The Heat of the Moment “Katie Rose writes sexy, skilled sports heroes who know how to treat a woman right!”—Wendy S. Marcus, award-winning author of All I Need Is You “Katie Rose brings the heat again with another sweet and sexy sports romance!”—Kelly Jamieson, author of Major Misconduct “This is the third installment of the series but can be read as a standalone also. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a feel-good romance.”—Majorly Delicious “The Heat of the Moment is my favorite in Rose’s [Bad Boys of Baseball] series. I think it was because even through Jessica’s reluctance to fall for Gavin, I could feel his charm and sincerity just as much as she did.”—(un)Conventional Bookviews “I will have to say I personally loved reading this story. I love baseball and loved how this story went and how it developed.”—Diana’s Book Reviews “A really enjoyable, feel-good read.”—Becky on Books and Quilts “The Heat of the Moment is a good addition to the [Bad Boys of Baseball] series. A sweet and fun love story about a baseball player on the mend and the physiotherapist helping him.”—Total Book Geek “A light read with a little bit of everything: sex, romance, conflict, fun and falling in love.”—The Reading Cafe “A great curl-up-and-escape book.”—Wild Heart Reviews “This sports romance was really good. I liked both main characters very much. I liked that they didn’t instantly fall in love. Fans of sports romances will enjoy this book.”—Inside of a Dog Includes a special message from the editor, as well as an excerpt from another Loveswept title.
