Curve Ball (Homeruns #2) by Quinn Ward

 


Amazon Link   - Available in KU  





The last man he loved without anyone knowing he existed. Now, there’s a younger man tempting him to give life a second chance.

Jason Klein’s living with the fallout from a decision he swore was right at the time. He couldn't tell anyone he was in love, which left him to mourn alone when he found out the man he gave his heart to had been killed in combat.

Now, he’s had time to heal, but he’s not sure he’s ready to let himself move on.

Until he meets Cam Morgan…

Without a job lined up following graduation, Cam Morgan took his best friend up on his offer to move to Milwaukee and stay with him until he could get on his feet. The last thing he wanted to do the day after getting to town was go to a party filled with a bunch of jocks. Sure, they were “professional athletes” but Cam was convinced that bigger bank accounts didn’t make them any more accepting of people like him.

He certainly didn’t expect to meet Jason, the Mavericks’ catcher who broke every stereotype he’d had.

What started out as one hot, sweaty night together quickly grows into something deeper. Jason welcomes Cam into his home and his life, but now he has to teach the younger man that it’s not a sign of weakness to let people help you.
 




My Rating - 5 Stars!

Curve Ball, the second book in Quinn Ward's Homeruns series is amazing! I loved this book when it was originally published under the pen name Sloan Johnson. Now, it's republished under Quinn's name with a little bit of added content. 

Cam came to town to stay with his friend Drew. And there he ends up meeting all the baseball guys, most notably Jason.

Early on, Cam's conversation with Mason about Jason and Sean had me dying, laughing so hard. Love this scene.

Having been closeted for all these years, meeting Cam has Jason wanting something more. 

And damn, they are hot together. This author definitely knows how to write a hot scene.

Love these men and how opposite they are. Cam's clothes makes me smile. I love this part of his personality. Even better though is that Jason appreciates it.

Jason's past involves the loss of his closeted lover. There's a lot of pain and grief to be dealt with before he can fully embrace a new relationship. It's definitely tough to read at times. 

They also have to deal with where they live. Cam's living situation is temporary. He doesn't plan to stay. Meanwhile,  Jason's traveling all the time with his team.

Written in alternating first person pov, both men and their insecurities fully come to life. Both men have a lot of baggage and the author excels in all the emotions and growth involved. The men are surrounded by a fabulous group of teammates and friends.

I love Curve Ball and this entire series by Quinn Ward. I love sports romances, and they're even better when it's a series set around a team, with several men finding their love.It's fabulous!
