BLURB:
After an
unexpected twist of fate, All-Star catcher Easton Wylder is left questioning
the loyalty of everyone around him.
Even the
woman who shares his bed, Scout Dalton.

Easton thought being uprooted to the last place he expected was the only
challenge life had to throw at him, he was dead
wrong.
With an ailing shoulder and his career in limbo,
his decision to make an unexpected change leads him to question everything –
Scout’s love, family loyalties, and whether he can conquer the one obstacle
he’s never been able to overcome. The secret he’s never shared with anyone
He may be a
man pushed to his limits, but he’s hell-bent on proving his worth no matter the
cost.

REVIEW:
GAH! Every time I pick up a K.Bromberg (aka Kristy Bromberg)
novel, I’m reminded WHY I love her stories and writing SO MUCH and this story
was no exception. I don’t know the last time I felt this much exhilaration
after finishing a novel! Kristy Bromberg
completely HIT IT OUT OF THE PARK! Everything, I say EVERYTHING, about this
final installment to The Player duet was executed to perfection. Kristy did
an extraordinary job of unraveling the many questions that we readers were left
with at the end of book 1 and she did so with complete precision. The love
story mixed in with all the personal drama, secrets, and suspense was seamless
and completely captivating. I was sucked into the story right from the
beginning.
I never do this, but first of all, I want to start out by
giving kudos to the AMAZING cover
and I’m not saying that bc it’s sexy as h-e-double hockey sticks, but because I
feel there’s a deeper meaning there. I find the slight differences from book 1
to book 2, hugely significant and somewhat telling. I don’t know if this was intentional
(I hope to think it was), but I find it symbolic that Easton is no longer
wearing a baseball hat on THE CATCH’s cover. And after reading the novel, I
feel it is FLAWLESSLY fitting! Easton steps out from behind his baseball
persona in a sense, in THE CATCH.
At the end of THE PLAYER, Scout and Easton got to a point
where they both finally gave into the possibility of a future together, but
then we’re left with a cliffy that rocks that possibility. Now, in THE CATCH,
we jump right back in where the cliffhanger left us and with that cliffhanger
brings discord and doubts. Lifelong insecurities and fears come into play that
they will both have to overcome both personally and as a couple. Easton
especially is hit with curveball after curveball throughout the novel, which
has him questioning everything and everyone. “My world’s been turned upside down by first a dirty play and now what
looks like a dirty deal.” –Easton. Scout feels like time is slipping between her
fingers and she has no way to stop it. She is finally realizing, that in the
end, she’s the one that will need to live with her decisions. “A daughter’s duty versus a woman’s wants.” –Scout.
Both characters have to navigate these trails in life and overcome them. Only
through the help and support of each other can they do so, but when old doubts
and new obstacles keep pushing their way through, how will they make it without
breaking?
THE CATCH was about so many relatable things. Overcoming
your fears. Realizing what you planned for your future may not be what you get (or
want any more for that matter) and that’s ok. You’re going to be ok! Allowing yourself
the ability to love and be loved. Finding the magic again. Owning up to your downfalls and not running from them.
Taking time to “have a day”. Oh the
list goes on and on! I loved the tremendous growth we see from both Scout and
Easton from THE PLAYER to THE CATCH...it’s astronomical. They both truly come
into their own in this book. They both in a sense step out from behind their
father’s shadows and become their true selves. It was awe-inspiring to read and
beautifully written. I just love how Kristy brings something real into the
story. Something that people can relate to. Alcoholism, parent/child relationship
struggles, sexism, human frailty, pain of loss, insecurities, love. All things
that people can relate to one way or another, whether it’s been personal or
through others. This book will resonate with you one way or another.
Scout and Easton’s
story surpassed ALL of my hopes and dreams. I savored EVERY SENTENCE, EVERY
PAGE, and EVERY CHAPTER of this novel. And it’s been 5 days since I finished reading
and I can NOT get this book off my mind. I have literally not picked up another
novel since. I was left in happy tears with a giddy smile on my face at the
end. In the end, all I feel is pure contentment and complete bliss after
finishing this duet. It was pure magic. I couldn’t have asked for this book to
go any other way than how Kristy imagined it and wrote it. This duet is my new top fav of hers! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!! This book
(and duet) will leave you reeling for days!
5 +++ Stars!

BLURB:
Baseball
has never been sexier in an all-new novel by New York Times Bestselling Author,
K. Bromberg.
Easton
Wylder is baseball royalty. The game is his life. His passion. His everything.
So, when an injury
threatens to end Easton’s season early, the team calls in renowned physical
therapist, Doc Dalton, to oversee his recovery. Except it’s not Doc who greets
Easton for his first session, but rather, his daughter, Scout.
She may
be feisty, athletic, defiant, and gorgeous, but Easton is left questioning
whether she has what it takes to help him.
Scout
Dalton’s out to prove a female can handle the pressure of running the physical
therapy regimen of an MLB club. And that proof comes in the form of getting
phenom Easton Wylder back on the field. But getting him healthy means being
hands-on.
And with
a man as irresistible as Easton, being hands-on can only lead to one thing, trouble. Because the more she touches
him, the more she wants him, and she
can’t want him. Not when it’s her job to maintain the club’s best interest,
in regards to whether he’s ready to play.
But when
sparks fly and fine lines are crossed, can they withstand the heat, or is one
of them bound to get burned?
