When a beautiful brunette driver meets Nashville Slammers catcher, Sawyer McBain, at the airport, he figures it's his lucky day. Sure, he's usually pretty guarded around people, especially after what happened with his ex, but he can definitely enjoy the car ride. Until she passes his apartment...and keeps driving. All of a sudden the woman seems a lot less like romance material and a lot more like a kidnapper. What gives? Slammers executive Addison Carlisle needs one little favor. Sure, she may have kinda maybe kidnapped one of her professional baseball players, but it’s for a really good cause. She desperately needs someone high-profile to auction off that night for the multiple sclerosis society she’s chairing, but he insists he wants a favor in return. Soon Addie and Sawyer are trading completely ridiculous I.O.U.s, like being his plus-one to his grandmother's poker game or keeping each other company at the driving range. But when their agreement goes from flirty to fiery, neither is ready to let their guard down for a shot at love.

My Review: 

Catching Her Heart by Jody Holford
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Such a fun, sweet sports romance. Addie and Sawyer’s first meeting is epic. Addie has a true heart of gold and is always doing things for others. Her job to help the players and families for the Nashville Slammers is geared to giving them all-around wellness to make their lives easier off the field. But many players are resistant but she always perseveres. She is also very involved in charity work which is how she met Sawyer, the star catcher for the team. Of course, kidnapping him to be auctioned off for charity might not have been the best first meeting. Sawyer is surprised by Addie and her constant smile and optimism. He keeps looking for the angle, what’s in it for her, but can’t find the tarnish to her beliefs. He doesn’t want a relationship and finds himself facing an injury that has him uncertain about his baseball future. Of course, he can’t seem to stay away from Addie. I love how these two connect and trade favors. This becomes Rick’s game so he keeps seeing Addie. But can the jaded ball player really let all the light and joy Addie carries into his world? Or will he revert to type and push her away? It was a fabulous ride to find out! I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.
