Wanted to read a trashy, chick-lit, low-stakes book and this fit the bill. Fun and engaging modern characters, not without flaws.

Average read and concept. Was not invested with the characters at all. I honestly was kinda bored through some of this book and it wasn’t a full sports romance to me, mainly just politics about owners and such. The romance lacked in my opinion and there was nothing moving forward the plot.

This was my first book by Melanie Scott. Overall, I really liked the story and will definitely read the next installment. I will admit that at first I didn't like the hero Alex. Ms Scott had done a fabulous job having me sympathize with the heroine Maggie without giving me a balanced reason to cheer for Alex, so I had trouble at first. But as the story progressed, I started to see his charm. I still think the backstory was too light for Alex and should have been flushed out more to really make me cheer for him but I was satisfied with the ending.

This is the first Melanie Scott book that I have read, but I will be reading more.
The Devil In Denim had me in from the first chapter, and had my heart breaking for the main character Maggie right from the get go. After her father sells her legacy off, she feels that all she has worked for since she was a child has been sold down the river, she is left feeling a little sad and sorry for herself, and it doesn't help that she is attracted to the man who took it all away.
I loved Alex, Lucas and Mal - or the Hot Trio as I dubbed them. But especially Alex. Loved that he went for what he wanted. He saw, he wanted, he got! But especially loved that he wasn't too over the top alpha about it, he listened to Maggie, understood her feelings about their relationship, but still went for it all the same.
Maggie - my heart broke for her over and over as things happened with the family business. I could feel her devastation at the lost of her beloved team, her anger at her father for blind siding her with it,her confusion over he feelings for Alex - how can you love someone you should hate?
Loved the secondary characters, particularly Hana and Shelly. Love these ladies to bits! I want the in my corner, wouldn't want to face off against them.
This was a cute sweet read. Loved that it showed the behind the scenes and sometimes seedy side of the baseball world, and didn't focus on the players themselves. There were a few editing issues that I came across (had to reread a few sentences, and they still didn't make sense) but it did not take too much away from my enjoyment. Another quick round of editing should fix these things up.

It took me a while to get into this one. The first half dragged, but then it picked up speed. Interesting backstage look at the life of baseball as opposed to the players being part of the story. Needs a bit more editing.

Characters: would-be CEO of baseball team, new owner
World Building: team management
Plot: fend off rival bid for ownership, "fake" relationship, enemies to lovers
Sex: tension followed by vague sparkle sex
Read another: Yes, I suppose.
Haven't I read this same trope multiple times? I'll try another one by this author.
