Rosalie's Player by Ella Jade





Rosalie's Player
Kingston Heat Series Book 3
by Ella Jade
Genre: Sports Romance



Once a player, always a player. Maybe not this time.
Hopeless romantic Rosalie Millan is fresh out of college and ready to start a new life in the baseball-obsessed town of Kingston, Rhode Island. Her sister has found her forever love with the Kingston Crushers’ second baseman, and now Rosalie wants the same thing. But the man she has her sights set on is far from boyfriend material. He’s wild, sex-crazed, and hell-bent on staying single. Still, Rosalie can’t seem to give up on the bad boy.
Up-and-coming baseball pitcher Holt Clemson is on fire, both on and off the field. His career has taken him to the top, and with that success comes women, and lots of them. After spending years watching his father cheat and lie to his mother, he’s become jaded when it comes to relationships. He can have any girl he chooses, but the last one he thought he’d ever want is the only one making her way into his heart.
Rosalie wants romance, love, and a man who will do anything for her, but Holt isn’t a hearts-and-flowers kind of guy. Can this unlikely duo find some common ground? Will Rosalie make Holt see that happily ever afters do exist?

REVIEW

Rating: ☆☆☆☆

When Rosalie, who believes in fairy tales and HEAs, falls for Holt, pitcher for the Crushers and the team's biggest player, it was always going to be an interesting ride.  But when Holt decides that he must have her and changes his approach to get her, it makes it even more interesting.  At times there was some role reversal with Holt wanting to be romantic and takes things slowly and Rosalie wanting to get down and dirty, which keeps you on your toes.

Holt's approach find himself in unfamiliar territory, with his feelings becoming involved and causing him to feel confused.  He fights long and hard and doesn't realise its too late but his attitude to women comes from personal experience.  Rosalie takes what she can in the hopes that he will want more and is very good at playing him at his own game.


I loved these characters: they were fun, flirty, sexy and downright dirty.  Another great edition to this series as another member of the Kingston Crushers falls.  I can't wait to see who falls next.

"Stealing His Heart" By: Ella Jade
Rating: ☆☆☆☆

This was an amazingly sweet read but was equally hot.  When serial womaniser and Crusher Pitcher Paxton runs into quiet music teacher Sophia, he finds himself wanting more than the one night stand he usually wants.  She is worth so much more than one night but he needs to overcome his own past history to seize what he deserves.  Deep beneath his confident exterior is a man trying to find his place and feel as though he truly belongs.  Sophia on the other hand needs to release her inner sex goddess and it is with Paxton that she comes alive.  Together they unleash part of the other that has remained hidden and buried for a long time.


I loved these characters and their story.  I loved the hotness that balanced out the sweetness.  I loved how they both come alive with each other. This was a beautiful story wrapped up in the limelight of a baseball team, where everything becomes magnified and everyone is watching.  A fun read.

"Sliding Into Second" By: Ella Jade
Rating: ☆☆☆☆

An easy read to pass away a cold, wintry afternoon. A second chance love story with high sweetness and hotness factor.

Sage and Nic were together as Nic set out on his baseball career. Sage was his biggest supporter and promised to follow him everywhere. Their relationship was perfect until he told her that he didn't want her to follow him any more.

Fast forward and Nic is now a World Series winner and Sage a successful sports reporter send to cover his team. The pull between them is still there but Sage is scared to take a chance, even though deep down he is all she wants. Nic sets out to do everything he can to win her back. Can they both overlook the past and start looking to a future together?

Sage, at times, frustrated me with her constant change of attitudes and moods. I got that she was scared after what happened in the past but grrr!!. Nic is a good guy who always has and always will want what is in Sage's best interests. He has great perseverance and patience which will need in bucket loads to win Sage back.

A great read that was light and easy to read. I enjoyed this second chance romance book.


Ella Jade has been writing for as long as she can remember. As a child, she often had a notebook and pen with her, and now as an adult, the laptop is never far. The plots and dialogue have always played out in her head, but she never knew what to do with them. That all changed when she discovered the eBook industry. She started penning novels at a rapid pace and now she can’t be stopped.

Ella resides in New Jersey with her husband and two boys. When she’s not chasing after her kids, she’s busy creating sexy, domineering men and the strong women who know how to challenge them in and out of the bedroom.  She hopes you’ll get lost in her words.

She loves connecting with readers.
