ARC received for an honest review
I have loved the New York Saints series by Ms Scott, and I was more than happy to find out there were more books to come after the stories of the three owners were told.
Playing Hard is the first story about the players of the New York Saints.
We first met first baseman Oliver Shields in the first book, and now it is time for him to find his HEA.
Amelia - Millie - is the friend of one of the newbie players, the guy after Ollie's job.
Oliver and Amelia could not be more different, and you wouldn't expect the finance nerd to catch the player's eyes in a world of groupies and supermodels.
But that was what made them perfect for each other. Their relationship was not an easy one - especially for Millie - but I loved being taken on the journey with them.
I loved that we got more of Alex, Lucas and Mal and their ladies from the first 3 books. I love the banter between them all.
But gah, there were some characters that I really didn't like at all. Finn (Millie's friend) is a spoilt little brat who needs to grow the hell up. I just wanted to high five him in the face with my Kindle for the way he treated Millie. And Finn's sister/Millie's best friend Emma needs to open her eyes and take a good hard look around!
I am really looking forward to more in this series - the next book being Finn's. Let's hope the Ms Scott can redeem him in my eyes!
I love a sports romance, and Ms Scott has quickly become a must read for me. And the good thing about baseball teams - players get traded, retire etc all the time, so there is always new blood so she can keep on writing these fantastic stories!

Enjoyable sports contemporary. A little bit of angst.

Fun, but not quite as deep as the previous books. Still will read everything in this series!

Wasn't as excited to read this one as Oliver isn't one of my favorite characters in the series. Yet, I really found myself liking him more than expected in this novel. Good read!
