The Winning Season - Alison Packard

Kelly Maxwell and Matt Scanlon met a few months before they had to work together.  It did not go well, and now they are basically enemies.  His best friend is dating her sister, so their paths cross even without work.

 

Kelly is still mad at the confrontation they had when they first met.  He is hurting from something in his past he does not want to share with anyone.  Now, he has been traded and works for the same MLB team she does.  When she asks him to do interviews, he always refuses.

 

Matt has a had a rough year and is trying to make it better.  Meeting Kelly actually woke him up and made him see the errors he was making.  Now, he is working hard to be the best catcher in the league.  

 

The attraction between them is obvious.  The room literally sizzles with the sparks that fly around them.  Kelly hates that she is attracted to him.  She has a past full of pain as well.  Can they find that a friendship of honesty works for them and move on?

 

I was impressed with the writing and how these sensitive subjects were handled.  I loved the honesty and heat between the leading characters. This is book # 2 in Feeling the Heat series.  A must read for lovers of sports.  I give this book a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP!
