Rivals on the baseball field, best friends off…
Mason is adrift. His marriage has failed and he no longer loves the game that has consumed his life. To make matters worse, he can’t stop wishing he’d been honest with his best friend years earlier.
But that might have been worse. Even if Sean knew Mason loved him, the two couldn’t have been together without giving up the game, and baseball is everything to Sean.
Sean didn’t keep secrets from his friend. Mason is one of the few people who know Sean’s staying in the closet until his baseball career comes to a close.
When Mason admits he’s always known he was bisexual, Sean doesn’t know how to feel.
Hurt.
Angry.
Excited.
Mason is the one man he’d consider breaking his rules for. The first time they touch, he knows a single night could never be enough. But can the two of them find a way to fall in love without it costing Sean the career he’s still devoted to?
Wild Pitch is the first in the Homeruns series, formerly published under the pen name Sloan Johnson.
Wild Pitch is one of my all time favorite friends to lovers romance. Originally published under the pen name of Sloan Johnson, Quinn Ward is now re-releasing this gem with a little bit of added content.
Oh, how I love Sean and Mason. The first book in the Homeruns series, not only are they the couple that start this amazing series, but they are just so damn perfect together. I love athletes falling in love, and you won't find anyone better than these two.
Fighting their feelings for so long. Mason's been denying his sexuality forever, while Sean has long been in love with his best friend.
This one starts with Sean's current lover getting traded to a different team. They were never out, but Sean couldn't hide his feelings. It's so damn emotional.
In addition to losing his lover, I enjoy this part of the storyline, as it's all too realistic that players never know how long they will be with a team. It's always sad, even as a fan, when a favorite player gets traded. Add in having that teammate be your lover, and ohhhh...so many emotions!
Sean and Mason are on opposite teams, but they happen to be playing each other when Sean has his "breakdown" after his lover getting traded. And who better to pick up the pieces than one's best friend?
What follows is a tale of coming out, sexual exploration, and first times. The emotions with these two kill me at times.
Holy shit, I love these two. Once Mason opens up about his bisexual side, there is NO stopping him. These two are so fucking hot together. I continue to be a little surprised with how fast these men fall into bed, but it doesn't matter. This is years of pent up feelings in the making. And there's no such thing as taking things slow at this point.
Their journey is one of trying to figure out how to be a couple, while playing for rival teams, in a homophobic sport. They have plenty of obstacles in their way, but their feelings are never in doubt. I love this aspect.
The emotional rollercoaster is all over the place as they struggle to figure out what they each want for the future, and what their future together will look like.
Wild Pitch is a total comfort read to me now. I love and adore everything about this Quinn Ward book. I am elated that this series is being re-released and am giddy to re-read them, while also reviewing them. This is a must read for any sports romance fans!
