***5 ‘Cake Pals’ Stars***
My heart is all kinds of wrecked.
It got all kinds of twitterpated and swoony. It melted...like full on melted (and let’s not mention the panty situation when it comes to ‘melting’) it broke and got put back together in the best of ways.
So yeah. Wrecked.
But there was also a really good dose of eye rolling ~ just to the point of almost hurting ~ and a few moments where the Kindle almost ended up in the freezer.
But...man…
So, if you could tell, I freakin’ ADORED Walker and Kate. A-DORED. After first meeting Walker, I was crossing my toes that we’d get more of him, and dear lord, do we get MORE. The man is all kinds of broody and grouchy and does a great job at being a standoffish asshat ~ which could turn some off, but not me. Nope. But when all of that gets dialed down? Talk about becoming a pile of goo. And Kate. This woman is a force. Determined, sassy, a little quirky and genuine. She held her own and gave as good as she got. My only true issue was how they both dealt with a certain person in their lives...I understood why they acted/reacted/ignored the things this person did (or didn’t do) but this was the one thing that had me growling at them both.
As for their journey to their HEA. I don’t think I need to get too much into this considering how I started this review, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching them get under each other's skins and how honest they were with each other. Sometimes it was brutal, but honest. The chemistry between them was intense, the road was rocky one, but in the end I was very happy with how things worked out for them.
This was a great addition to the #towelbrigade. There are some heavy issues that are dealt with in this, but nothing that I found too extreme, but some may find them triggering. But outside of that, it was a fun read. We do get to hear about a few favs from this series and one surprise, which was a very pleasant one. As for the newbies, I LOVED Ryot and his randomness. Vivian was awesome and even Audrey was pretty damn cool. I am on the fence about one particular character, but will readily admit that I do want this one to get a book at some point down the road.

“Kiss me. Just this once . . . please Walker."
Those whispered words were my undoing . . .
As the most hated player in baseball, I had two options: either clean up my image or pack my bags. Being traded wasn't an option which only meant one thing, I had to become compliant.
That's how I found myself sharing a small bistro table with Kate Chapman, the Chicago Bobbies newest PR Manager. Devastatingly beautiful, vastly intelligent, and incredibly cunning, she knows exactly how to handle my grumpy demeanor.
It was supposed to be simple. Book some PR events, show up, smile for the camera, and be done. But one massive mistake on my end sends me into the trenches with Kate, forcing me to open up to her.
Innocent glances turn into cordial encounters.
Secret touches turn into tempting invitations.
And dangerous nights alone turn into consuming desperation.
I’ve never wanted a woman as much as I want her. And I know she wants me, but there’s a no fraternizing with the players rule. Neither of us can afford to lose our jobs, but we also can't seem to keep our hands off each other either.
