Strike is the second book
in the Completion Series. There is no connection to Play (book I) except the
sports theme. Strike is a standalone HEA novel.
Nineteen-year-old Jaycee
Shumway breaks into professional baseball player, Reed Tyler’s home, to steal
the second most valuable set of balls he owns. Neither of them expect their
striking attraction or battle of wills to lead them to a homerun.
Jaycee has more than
herself to worry about. When Reed discovers she has a younger brother and
sister, he’s quickly caught up in their world of need and heartbreak.
Baseball season begins
and the separation puts Reed and Jaycee’s game on hold. With bases loaded and hearts
on the line, will Reed convince Jaycee that she needs him to win or will Jaycee
strike out and walk off the field forever?
This New Adult book is
intended for mature audiences.
His husky laughter rang
out, drowning me in the sexy sound. Why couldn’t he snort like a pig or
something just as ridiculous when he laughed?
“You’re very concerned
about my balls,” he said when his laughter died away.
My smartass mouth took
front and center. “If you remember… I’ve seen your balls and it would be
unsporting of me not to be concerned.”
Oh, God, his eyes
sparkled and I would do anything to take back my words and the thoughts they
conjured.
Reed wouldn’t let it
pass. “I’ve seen a fair amount of you and that also causes me concern. So much
concern that I didn’t sleep well last night.”
Mortification anyone?
“A gentleman wouldn’t
bring that up.”
This time, his laugh was
plain evil. “A gentleman wouldn’t have cut away your shirt and bra. A gentleman
wouldn’t have admired your tits. A gentleman wouldn’t do this…”
I had no time to prepare
for what happened next. His warm lips took mine at the same time his hands
closed around my upper arms, trapping me. My entire body reacted to the kiss. I
grew light-headed, my breasts ached, and my heart almost exploded out of my
chest. But it was the taste of his mouth that had me squeezing my thighs
together. I never knew anyone could taste this good. There was no description
on earth that did it justice. I wanted to eat him whole.

Yes ladies and gentlemen Holly Roberts have done it yet
again. What a fantastic book “Strike was, sweet Lord the sex scenes the
intensity that Reed bought to the book and Jaycee, such a tortured soul, her
insecurities boy. I loved the way how Holly told this story, she gave the
characters such that depth that you can feel every emotions that they were
going through when it was happening. I will start off by talking about Jaycee’s
little brother and sister Bitsy, loved them. I love the fact that even though
Jo was only fifteen he could try to be a voice of reason for his sister, and
Bitsy was just the typically cute little six years old. Now I will get into
Jaycee, I bet she was expecting such an end result when she made her first
plan. And Reed, sweet heavens Reed was everything that we ladies love in a male
character when we’re reading a book. Alpha tendencies, kinky as hell and sex
appeal from here until timbuck two. He was just straight sex on a stick, I
thought I was in love with “Mac truck” from Play, but hot damn I think Reed
just took my heart. Not only did Holly brought us some hot, and when I say hot,
I mean put your kindle, phone or iPad on fire kind of hot. All I have to say is
that I will never look at a chair the same ever again. Great writing by a very
talented author, I fell in love with Holly’s writing ever since “Play” and I
know from there on she’s won a fan.
