Playing with Fire by Ellie Isaacson
4.0
4 Stars! Who knew a sports / mafia romance was a combination I needed in my life!
Frankie - due to start are the family firm, or in this case baseball team, she wanted one last wild night of freedom. This freedom took the form of one night of passion with hunky stranger 'Luke'. She gets a shock on her first day when Luke turns out to be Corey Lucas, star player on her family's team! Her mafia uncle has threatened every one of her past boyfriends, and has made of point of saying his players are completely off-limits. But can they deny their incredible chemistry any longer?
Corey - star baseball player who's used to his fair share of female attention. Not necessarily a player, but definitely no nun. One-night stands have always just been a way of relieving a bit of stress from his week, however he cannot get the most recent goddess out of his mind. After only one night, he knows he wants more of the nameless siren! When he sees her at the stadium the next day he can't believe his luck, he'd found her! However she seems less than pleased to see him...why?
I loved how you not only had the red hot romance between Frankie and Corey, but also the added drama who's been threatening them both! When the threats increase, can they not save not only their relationship, but also their lives?!
I really enjoyed this story. Part sports romance and part mafia, it had a little bit of everything! Sexy baseball player, angst/drama and of course plenty of steam! I only knocked off a star, because early on there was a bit more OW involvement that I wasn't super keen on. Although without adding any spoilers, it does set-up the story well.
No cheating. No cliff-hanger. HEA guaranteed.
