By Crystal♥ @RBtWBC In this sweet sports romance, Sarah Dudley is the public relations VP of the Plainview Thrashers, a minor league team out of Indiana that her family has owned for generations. Sarah was not only raised on baseball but she has an intense love for it as well, she could tell you better then some coaches what a player needs. But ever since the death of her mother, Sarah's father has sidelined her and her love of the sport.Tom Cord is a veteran pitcher who while down, is not out. Recovering from an elbow injury and resulting surgery, he is rehabbing in the small town of Plainview with their minor league for a few weeks before moving up to Chicago's major league. Where he belongs. It is the only thing on his mind, until he meets Sarah Dudley...High Heat was a cute contemporary romance for sports fans but not the heavy-hitter that I was hoping for. Sarah has lived and breathed baseball since she was a baby and has dreams to be more involved with the sport as a manager, coach, or anything else to get her down in the dirt. But her father has a stern stance on women in sports, and no matter how much Sarah tries to prove herself competent her father will not be swayed. Sarah had a lot of potential to be a strong, female character. She had the attitude and the back bone, but when it came to her family all of that melted away and she allowed them to walk all over her. Her father was a colossal bigot and an incredibly unlikable character up until the very end. We never do get any kind of reconciliation between him and Sarah, which I found to be disappointing.Tom has a fun and free demeanor. Sexy, talented, and boy did he know it! Tom has his own form to pitching and no matter what doctors, coaches, ect. tell him, he is sticking with what works in the here and now. Now matter what it might mean some time in the future. This was another character that could have been so much more. Tom's attitude throughout the story left a lot to be desired. I know a lot grown men have a 16 year old teenager trapped inside their body but those aren't the ones that I want to read about. Don't get me wrong, it was humorous most of the time but other times it took me back and made me say, "Really?!" He was also stupidly stubborn at times, but this to some extent fit an athletic character as many are superstitious and don't want to mess with a sure thing either.Sarah use to have a teenage crush on Tom when he played ball in college with her brother. When these two meet again Tom pretends not to remember Sarah and though she has grown out of her gangling tom-boy looks, he remembers her all too well. Sarah and Tom butt heads from the beginning and I liked Sarah's spunk when it came to Tom. Their romance was an enjoyably slow-build and Sarah definitely made Tom work for it. There weren't many deep, meaningful conversations between the two however. Mostly surface talk, and Tom remained a tough nut to crack through most of the story line which impeded my ability to connect with him. They were invested in each other though and they had good chemistry. I really liked how Tom urged Sarah to go for the job she loved while Sarah tried to encourage Tom to work on his pitching mechanics so there would be less chance for further injury.The over-all idea of the story in High Heat was good. The delivery was weaker then I would have liked but the bottom line is High Heat was a predominantly enjoyable baseball romance.* I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

Enjoyable but lacked some key elements to make it a home run By DiDi GPBR Being a big lover of the sport of baseball and having read many baseball related romances I liked High Heat by Linda Morris but I wanted more from this story. I wanted the pro baseball player hero who was down for a rehab assignment to grow up a little and start listening to people who knew what they were talking about, I wanted the team's PR vice president heroine to stand up for herself when her father and the team's owner dressed her down on more than one occasion, I would have liked some more actual baseball scenes but most of all I would have liked the hero and heroine to actually have some meaningful conversations before they rushed into the "I love you" stage. So yes, I liked this story it had potential, but much like many minor league players and much like the hero of this story it needed some more guidance to make it better, stronger and able to go the distance.Sarah Dudley's life has always been about baseball; playing it, wanting to be a part of a team and now working in PR for the Plainview Thrashers, her family's legacy. Sarah is smart, she is feisty and she knows baseball really well but for some reason she allows her bigoted, hateful, mean spirited father run roughshod over her and allows her brother to straddle the fence between her and her dad. I'll be quite honest it is rare I read a character that I absolutely hate, one I feel has no redeeming characteristics but Walter Dudley is someone I could have done without completely and totally.I genuinely liked Tom Cord a major league pitcher for the White Sox is rehabbing after having Tommy John surgery. I felt this character was a little too big time baseball star cliché yet I couldn't help but get a kick out of the way he seemed to be able to turn any conversation into a sexual come on and the way his smile affected the women near him. His stubbornness about his pitching style and his inability to admit that he was struggling drove me nuts, but knowing athletes and knowing how important it is to get back to the big game what he did was extremely likely for most players.I enjoyed the slow build up with these two and the fact that Sarah really didn't let Tom get away with his normal attitude (something Tom loved as well). It was fun to watch him really have to work for someone and the fact that Sarah had crushed on Tom when he played college ball with her brother just added to the fun of the story. What bothered me is how little they really talked about things that were important and that was largely due to Tom being very closed off and even when Sarah got him to open up some I still felt he was holding back like he was afraid to show too much of himself to her. As things heat up between them rumors fly putting Sarah at odds with both her brother and her father and leading to some pretty interesting situations and consequences. I must give Tom credit for really understanding how smart Sarah was about the game of baseball, about pitching and encouraging her to find a team that would appreciate all she had to offer just as I appreciate how hard Sarah tried to make Tom understand that he needed to change his mechanics to prolong the life of his pitching arm these two things showed how invested they were in each other.As baseball romances go High Heat was enjoyable but lacked some key elements to make it a home run.Review copy provided for an honest review.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I had a lot of issues with this story, mainly the characters. Slow and hard to get into, this one was just okay. By Casey M. Britton Review for Ramblings From This Chick. ramblingsfromthischick.blogspot.comHigh Heat is the first book in the Hard Hitters Series by Linda Morris. This is a contemporary sports romance, and each book is a standalone. I love sports romance stories, so I couldn't wait to read this book. I had never read anything by Linda Morris before, so I wasn't sure what to expect with this one. Unfortunately while I enjoyed parts of this book, this ended up being just an okay read for me.Sarah Dudley grew up loving baseball. While her mother encouraged Sarah to go after whatever she wanted, after her death everything changed. Her father owns a minor league team, and while he appointed Sarah to VP of public relations he prefers that she keep herself away from everything else baseball including the players. But when her brother's former best friend and major league pitcher Tom Cord shows up to the club while in rehab for a shoulder surgery, she finds herself back to having the crush on him she did years before. Though Tom is known for his casual hookups with models and reality stars, Sarah finds herself getting to know the man beneath the facade and they start to become friends. But neither one of them can deny the chemistry and heat between them. Knowing that Tom is headed to Chicago as soon as his rehab is up though and with his reputation, is there any chance of something more for them?I have to admit that a lot of my issues with this story were with Tom and Sarah. While I felt the chemistry and attraction between them, I wasn't really feeling their connection. Tom was pretty cocky, and unfortunately for me it wasn't in a charming way. The crap that would come out of his mouth was a serious turn-off to me, and I found myself wondering what Sarah saw in him besides his good looks. While he had his moments that he was better, I just didn't ever really warm up to him. Sarah was another problem for me. She didn't seem to really have a mind of her own, and she had no backbone whatsoever. She allowed her father and brother to push her around and make decisions for her, or basically convince her to do things that she wouldn't have otherwise. She also had been seeing someone she had absolutely no interest in for over two years, and yet she refused to break it off for no reason that I could see. She had never had sex with him and didn't even seem to enjoy spending time with him, so it made no sense to me why she would continue things with him (even off and on). She was hard to like or really support, and I just felt like she needed to stand up for herself and start living her life according to what she wanted, even if that meant leaving the family business behind.I also felt like this story was pretty slow and I just wasn't invested. Because I didn't really care for the main characters, I found myself wanting to skim just to find out how things would play out. I also didn't care for Sarah's family, especially her dad, so there really wasn't much to hold my interest here. So while this book was okay, it wasn't anything special or memorable to me. I don't know that I will read anymore in this series, but depending on who the next book is about I might give it a shot. If you are a sports romance fan, particularly a baseball fan, you might consider giving this one a shot. I just wish that I had felt more of a connection between Tom and Sarah for this one to have worked better for me personally.**Complimentary Copy Provided by Publisher**
