THE BRENTWOOD BOYS by Meghan Quinn

Box Set of The Locker Room, The Dugout, and The Lineup

Genre: Contemporary Romance

ON SALE- $4.99- FOR A LIMITED TIME!

MQBrentwoodBookCover55x85_HIGH 

The Brentwood Boys have come together in a three book box series. Over 300,000 words of delicious baseball players with a mouth-watering 15,000 word epilogue of where they are now. Marriage? Maybe. Babies? Possibly. Abs? Oh yes, they still have abs.

The Locker Room
Have you heard the rumor around campus about the locker room?

Legend has it if you bring a girl into the sacred after-game domain of the baseball locker room, it will end with a walk down the aisle.

So when the girl I've fallen for brushes me off, I start to question if I need to switch my way of thinking. Maybe it's time I finally hand out a coveted invitation to the locker room.

The only question is, will she accept?

The Dugout
Let me ask you a question:

If someone is vying for your spot on a team and just so happens to injure you during practice, would you believe it was on purpose?

Word around campus is . . . it was no accident.

That injury has cost me everything. Now, I’m a senior fresh off recovery, struggling to find my groove, until the day I run into The Baseball Whisperer, Milly Potter.

Little do we both know, she’s about to become more than just my fairy ballmother.

The Lineup
Want to know a secret?

That boy over there, the one with the spectacular backside, yeah, I first saw him in college, talking to his friends. Tall, broad, sculpted by his many hours in the weight room. His personality was larger than life and I was too shy to approach him.

Now he’s a professional baseball player, I’m a confident CEO, but my crush is still strong. yup, massive crush.
I have a chance at winning a date with him.
Should I enter?

BREAKING NEWS: The Bad Boy of Baseball, Maddox Paige, is totally and utterly whipped.

Okay, that might not be the headlines in the newspaper this morning, but it's the reality of my current situation.

It all started a month ago when I received a call from my best friend, Kinsley. She got a new job in Chicago and needed a place to stay. I've known the girl since I was five, what harm would it be to have her stay at my place for a while?

Ha! Total disaster.

Now instead of going out every night with my teammates, I'm couch surfing and sketching endless photos of my best friend . . . but that's the least of my concerns.

The disaster, you ask? I'm rapidly falling head over cleats in love with my best friend, my roommate, and my number one fan.


And she has no idea . . .

Blurb:

Can you pinpoint a time in your life where you realized you are completely and utterly screwed?

I can. I got the dreaded phone call, the one every baseball player hopes and prays never comes.

I was traded. Yeah, that phone call.

Traded from my long time team of over ten years. And not just to any team, but my childhood rivals; the Chicago Rebels.

Completely and utterly screwed, right? Wrong. The trade was the least of my concerns.

I met a girl. Natalie. Man, she's perfect.

I swore I would never get involved with anyone during the season. Too complicated. But can you believe I have zero restraint when it comes to this girl? I couldn't get her out of my head and the more I talked to her, the more I realized I needed her in my life.

So what's the problem? Why am I screwed? Because, Natalie, the girl I can't stop crushing on, yeah . . . she's married.

At least, that's what I was told . . ..


TheTrade_tia-8

My review: 5 stars!
Admittedly, I am CRAZY for baseball. It's absolutely my favorite sport, and Meghan Quinn's The Trade was perfection. Of her four recent baseball romance novels, this is my favorite and is actually my favorite book of 2020 so far too. Quinn certainly knows her baseball, and did a fantastic job writing about an unwanted player trade and the pain and drama it led to, both in the dugout and in the hero's personal life. I ate up every word! Cory was such a dream man- so sweet and kind and thoughtful and I loved how hard and fast he fell for Natalie, his teammate's brother. Luckily Natalie was not as over-the-top as her brother Jason, who we met in The Lineup (rest assured I do love him too!), but she was adorably quirky and fun and I enjoyed seeing more of their brother/sister relationship. The chemistry and banter between Cory and Natalie was fantastic and so swoon-worthy. This slow burn left me as impatient as the characters were and I loved every minute of their story- the payoff was worth it the journey. I am crossing my fingers that Quinn follows up with more baseball for her readers!

Want to know a secret?

It's about that girl over there.
Don’t look, but she’s the one in the power suit—with the long, black hair and the serious expression, the one I’m about to go on a date with . . .

Yeah, according to her, she “accidentally” donated an obscene amount of money to my charity — The Lineup — to win said date but I found out the truth. Miss. Button Up Blouse has a secret, passionate crush on me.

I didn’t know her name until two days ago, despite the friends we have in common.
Was I oblivious? Probably.
Was I blind to it? Definitely.

But I’m no fool, I see it now. The High Heel Harlot wants more than just a date with Jason Orson, she wants to be able to claim the best butt in baseball as hers.

Here's another secret . . . she has no idea I know.

  TheLineup_teaser-8

My review: 5 stars!
The Lineup was a Grand Slam for me! Our hero Jason is a gorgeous professional baseball player with a heart of gold. He's such a hoot too- loves to cook and has quite the sensitive side (and he doesn't mind that a bit), and although you never know what is going to come out of his mouth, you'll definitely be laughing. He and Dottie were such a great match, and their banter is perfection. I enjoyed every word of this book and felt it was an authentic and real story with flawless pacing. A must-read that will be on my Best of 2019 list.

Let me ask you a question:

If someone is vying for your spot on a team and just so happens to injure you during practice, would you believe it was on purpose?

Word around campus is . . . it was no accident.

That injury has cost me everything; my starting position, my junior year—and the draft. Now, I’m a senior fresh off recovery, struggling to find my groove, until the day I run into a nervous, fidgety, girl with freckles, in the dining hall.

They call Milly Potter The Baseball Whisperer, The Diamond Wizard, and The Epitome of All Knowledge. She believes in baseball. She breathes it. She’s the queen of an infamous dynasty, but no one actually knows who she really is, and she plans to keep it that way.

One mishap in the panini line, one miscommunication in the weight room, and many failed attempts at an apology equal up to one solid truth -- Milly Potter never wants to speak to me again -- no matter how good my forearms look.

Little do we both know, she’s about to become more than just my fairy ballmother.

  TheDugout_teaser-1-2

My review: 4.5 stars!
OMG BASEBALL! I am a baseball fanatic (Go Cubs Go!) and this book was everything I loved about sports romance. It had a swoon-worthy hunky athlete hero with a heart of gold, a heroine who loves the sport just as much as the hero does, and sport details details details! Meghan Quinn is also a big baseball fan, and it was evident that she has a depth of knowledge of the sport. The Dugout was clocking in at a perfect 5 stars for me, but I felt the situation that arose after that between Carson and Milly was just too similar to the previous book in the series for me. I still absolutely recommend The Dugout- Carson and Milly are perfect together and I am still smiling thinking about them.

New Release Review: Announcing Trouble by Amy Fellner Dominy




Announcing Trouble
by Amy Fellner Dominy

Publication Date: August 5, 2019

Publisher: Entangled Teen Crush


I may know everything there is to know about baseball, but that doesn’t mean I have to like it. Or like him. Garrett Reeves: sidelined player and the embodiment of everything I’ve learned to hate about baseball. He’s gorgeous, he’s cocky, he’s laser-focused on getting back in the game, no matter the cost.

When he convinces me to call games alongside him, our chemistry heats up the booth. We’re good together, whether I want to admit it or not. I’m finding that I like baseball again, but even worse, I’m liking Garrett. A lot.

But when he has to decide between our future and a new shot at his dreams, I know baseball will win out every time.

Disclaimer: This Entangled Teen Crush book has tons of hilarious banter, lots of sexual tension, and a hero who will throw a wild pitch right at your heart.

My review: 4.5 stars!
Yay for YA baseball goodness! Announcing Trouble had everything I love about YA- smart relatable characters (I loved both main characters!), witty banter, and fun chemistry. Amy Fellner Dominy certainly knows her baseball and I appreciated her attention to detail, and learned so much about announcing games too. This one was hit out of the park!

Blurb: 
Have you heard the rumor around campus about the locker room?

If you haven't, let me enlighten you: Legend has it if you bring a girl into the sacred after-game domain of the baseball locker room, it will end with a walk down the aisle. One rowdy and naked encounter against the lockers with the girl of your dreams will make her your wife.

Translation: baseball players are stupidly superstitious and believe the locker room has magical powers.

But not all baseball players are superstitious, me included.

So when the girl I've fallen for brushes me off, I start to question if I need to switch my way of thinking. Maybe it's time I finally hand out a coveted invitation to the locker room.

The only question is, will she accept?


My review: 4.5 stars
This book checked off all the boxes for me: friends to lovers, slow burn, and sport romance- all some of my favorites! Both Emory and Knox were fantastic leads, but Knox stole the show for me for sure. His wit and humor, how much time he spent courting Emory and being patient with her- SWOON. Meghan Quinn's trademark humor worked perfectly in this setting and the side characters were so good- Knox's mom was my fave. A fun ride for sure.

New Release Review: The Perfectly Imperfect Match by Kendra C. Highley



by Kendra C. Highley

Publication Date:  July 10, 2017
Publisher:  Entangled Teen Crush


Pitcher Dylan Dennings has his future all mapped out: make the minors straight out of high school, work his way up the farm system, and get called up to the majors by the time he’s twenty-three. The Plan has been his sole focus for years, and if making his dreams come true means instituting a strict “no girls” policy, so be it.

Lucy Foster, needlepoint ninja, big sister to an aspiring pitcher, and chicken advocate, likes a little mayhem. So what if she gets lost taking her brother to baseball camp…at her own high school? The pitching coach, some hotshot high school player, obviously thinks she’s a hot mess. Too bad he’s cute, because he’s so not her type.

Problem is, they keep running into each other, and every interaction sparks hotter than the last. But with Dylan’s future on the line, he has to decide whether some rules are made to be broken…


Disclaimer: This book contains a crazy night of moonlit skinny-dipping, a combustible crush, and kisses swoony enough to unwind even the most Type A athlete.

My review: 4.5 Perfect Game Stars
I was so excited to see that Kendra C. Highley was releasing another book in her Suttonville Sentinels series! Although I love all sports romance, baseball is my very favorite sport. Dylan and Lucy were both great characters, and I loved the banter between them as they got to know each other and tried to deny the chemistry between them. This book was super cute and fun!

I love women and women love me.
It's not my fault I'm irresistible. Okay, I may be a little cocky too.

She writes steamy, sexy romance with one half of her brain and romantic suspense, action adventure, and children's books with the other half. Growing up she traipsed through the islands of the Gulf Coast, camped in the Everglades, dove the Keys, and generally felt more at home spending her days outdoors with a good book. She currently lives in a home filled with wild men (otherwise known as her extremely extroverted husband, The Sexy Editor, and their two kids), a husky, and a superhero guinea pig.
