The Heat is On

The Heat is On is the latest book in Katie Rose's The Boys of Summer series. This one follows Connor Jackson and Tracy Coleman. Connor has decided to move back to New Jersey for his final year as a professional baseball player and Tracy unknowingly had a large role in his decision. They were in love in college, but ended up breaking up as Connor's professional career took off. Well, now that Tracy is divorced Connor wants to win her back. What he doesn't know is Tracy has four kids that she is trying to raise with little help from her ex. This book had some seriously real parenting moments and I absolutely loved that. It really showed the struggles of dating as a single parent and the judgement that can be heaped upon that parent. There were some amusing problems that arose and had me laughing out loud, but there were also some heartwarming moments that made my heart melt. This book was a fantastic addition to the Boys of Summer series and I look forward to more from Katie Rose in the future. It gets 5 stars and will be read again.

Perfect for readers of Joanna Blake and Sawyer Bennett, hailed as “charming, sexy, and smart” by Lauren Layne, the Boys of Summer series from award-winning author Katie Rose heats up as a homegrown baseball star returns to snag the one that got away.

When veteran catcher Connor Jackson gets traded to the New Jersey Sonics, he welcomes the opportunity to possibly cap his career with a World Series ring in his home state. But there’s another reason Connor is glad things have come full circle. In pursuit of hardball glory, he left behind his college sweetheart, the one girl he could never forget. Seeing her again stirs up long-lost desires . . . and this time, he’s determined not to strike out.

A divorced mother of four, Tracy Coleman no longer aspires to gossip-mag glam—but she’ll make an exception for a date with Connor. Their chemistry is hotter than ever, and being alone with him is more seductive than she anticipated. Who could blame her for leaving out a little detail like the kids? Now all she has to do is come clean and convince the man of her dreams that they—Connor, Tracy, and her children—have a future together.
