5 Smooches!
Synopsis
The summer that Chase Stern entered my life, I was seventeen. The daughter of a legend, the Yankees were my family, their stadium my home, their dugout my workplace. My focus was on the game. Chase… he started out as a distraction. A distraction with sex appeal poured into every inch of his six foot frame. A distraction who played like a god and partied like a devil.
I tried to stay away. I couldn’t.
Then, the team started losing.
Women started dying.
And everything in my world broke apart.
REVIEW
So whenever I read an Alessandra Torre book it always takes me a a few chapters to get used to her writing style. I like to say that she writes like a serial killer. I mean, the woman’s writing is so stabby and purposeful. It is like she leans over every few paragraphs and slaps you with a word and it is kind of shocking and uncomfortable. I say all of this in love because I adore her writing, her stories, and I even enjoy the way her words rough me up a little.
I guess with Moonshot I didn’t expect the stabbiness. The cover was so gorgeously NA and sweet. It tricked me because this one was definitely the usual forbidden thriller that you get with this authors books but it did have that sweet NA first love bit that I was so excited for. And the sports romance part of this book was just done so brilliantly. You can tell the author really knows her baseball or she did a crap load of research. Because I felt like I was at the game fetching balls with Ty! I was sitting in the box along side her watching her Yankees. I love a sports romance where you actually get to witness the sports aspect. So many authors write about football players and we never even get to even “go to” a football game.
“I love you because when I see you, I can’t stop starting at you.”
To top off all of the amazing aspects of this book, the sexual tension was amazing. Which I personally love a book where the sex builds and we have to wait. And boy is it worth the wait. Because Chase was so incredibly alpha and forceful.
“This is a dying man’s taste,”
“This is me reminding you of what we have.”
Basically what I am saying is, this book had it all! It was New Adult. It was sports romance. It was beyond sexy. It had all of the drama and feelings. It even had a thriller aspect thrown in. EVERYTHING. This book had everything. One of my absolute favorites of this author. It is a must read!
