In the latest Play-by-Play novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Quarterback Draw, a sexy baseball player is done striking out...

Tucker Cassidy is going through a slump—but not on the field. It’s his dating life that’s suffering. After having a painful altercation involving his ex-girlfriend’s knee, Tucker is convinced it couldn’t get worse…until a gorgeous doctor comes to the rescue at his most embarrassing moment.

As the daughter of the owner of the St. Louis Rivers, Dr. Aubry Ross has been around jocks all her life. She knows the ins and outs of all their games, and she isn’t interested in playing.

When Tucker repeatedly lands in the hospital where she’s working, Aubry starts to think he’s getting injured just to see her. Tucker is both funny and sexy, and Aubry is pleasantly surprised to discover he actually respects her job.

When her father disapproves of their relationship, Aubry knows she’d rather lose Tucker than have him lose his job. But Tucker isn’t about to let threats of a trade get in the way of a game-changing love.

Tucker Cassidy: Hands down my favorite character in this sexy read. The word HOT is an understatement to this beautiful piece of a man. Tucker comes from a football dynasty where his dad, and three brothers play professional football. But to his families surprise Tucker picked his love for baseball over a football career. As the star pitcher for the St. Louis Rivers, he has worked his butt off to prove himself to his team and his accomplishments are finally being recognized. I found myself falling in love for his sweet, caring, personality throughout this read. It is extremely easy to relate to his struggles both personal and professional. Which is why I loved his character in this wonderful read. 

Aubry Ross: Aubry is an emergency room doctor who is extremely dedicated to her career and her patients. She is so involved in her career that she has not time or desire to be in a relationship. She has been around athletes her entire life as the daughter of the owner of the St. Louis Rivers.  So when she meets Tucker at her father’s party, she is not impressed by what she sees. But after several mishaps that land Tucker in the ER where she works, things start to get interesting. Their desires for one another is something neither one of them can deny any longer. At first, all Aubry is looking for is a distraction from her hectic work life. Something new,fun, and sexy. And boy does Tucker fit that description!! However, Tucker has an entirely different game plan. He is determined to show Aubry how to unwind and have fun.

Thoughts:  

I absolutely feel in love with these two characters! I enjoyed watching how creative Tucker was on his dates with Aubry. He really placed a lot of thought into making sure their dates were fun and easy going and stress free.  I also liked how persistent and loving he was throughout the read. Tucker never gave up on his love for Aubry. And even though her father tries to separate them, their connection is far stronger then his threat.  This read is sexy, fun, and full of hope. You will fall in love with Tucker and Aubry and this passionate love story. Jaci Burton did a phenomenal job of illustrating how two adults can have a full time career and a beautiful relationship full of passion, fun, and love! I highly recommend All Wound Up!
