Earning A Ring - Book Review

By Kristina Mathews

Synopsis

For Rachel Parker, covering the San Francisco Goliaths is the perfect opportunity to launch her career as a serious reporter. But she didn’t bargain on Bryce Baxter, the team’s star shortstop, tempting her more non-professional aspirations. After tearing up the base paths with him, she finds herself with a little problem, and Bryce might be the only man who can save the game.

Bryce Baxter should be living the dream. His team just won the World Series and he just signed the multi-year contract of his career. But his field of dreams has been overtaken by a fiery redheaded reporter, who’s bearing a news flash that will change both of their lives forever…

Review

The idea of Bryce⎯a baseball player⎯having a secret fling with Rachel⎯the team’s sports reporter⎯was a good one, and I was hoping for an exciting read about two people breaking the rules and dealing with the consequences. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with EARNING A RING, which is a shame because I quite liked MAKING A COMEBACK, book 3 in the series. I felt no chemistry between Bryce and Rachel at all, and quite honestly, I can’t think of a single thing I liked about either of them. They spend most of the book questioning their decisions, doubting their relationship and changing their minds about what they want. When Bryce wants the relationship to work, Rachel is pulling away. When Rachel wants the relationship to work, Bryce is pulling away. It was just too much pushing and pulling for my liking.
