Wild Hit by Mari Loyal: Book Review

 **ARC received for consideration. All opinions are my own. 




The Book

Marrying the new All-Star slugger for convenience wasn’t in Audrey’s plans… at all.

None of Audrey’s friends know that she’s the daughter of the Orlando Wild’s owner, or that she made a costly deal with her dad to protect her friends from getting fired for dating players in the team. But now her controlling father has come to collect on her side of the bargain.

Audrey must marry in order to receive her inheritance, or her friends can kiss the team bye bye.

Enter Miguel, the hottest acquisition the team has ever made. The All-Star and record breaking slugger is new in town and his daughter, Marty, hasn’t forgiven him for the move. He did it for her, but no matter what he does, he’s always reminded that being a single dad is his most important and toughest job.

Case in point: Marty can’t join her new school’s mom and daughter tradition, because she doesn’t have a mom.

Marty’s seen something about carpeting the diem so she comes up with a great idea. Maybe Miguel and Audrey should just get married for convenience. The plan will be a Wild Hit, right?

Wild Hit is a dual POV closed door romance with mild language and plenty of heat without spice, perfect for those who enjoy their marriages of convenience with a big dose of golden retriever x black cat, found families, and grand gestures. It’s the third and last book in the Wild Baseball Romance series and can also be read as a standalone.

Book Review

I tend to enjoy all sports romance, but lately, the baseball romances have definitely taken center stage for me... and this series has played a big part in that! Mari Loyal has once again knocked it completely out of the park with a baseball romance that is packed with equal parts chemistry, heart and humor. Throw in a single dad with a sassy daughter that is impossible not to adore, complicated family dynamics, and a marriage of convenience and this one absolutely hooked me right from the start! Miguel and Audrey were so good together--- so much chemistry and when he gets protective!? Oh my goodness, it was so good. If you love a good 'touch her and die' or 'hands off my wife' moment, well, this one will absolutely deliver on both. Miguel most certainly is protective of BOTH of his girls...and I loved it! In addition to the romance, I love the sense of found family with the team dynamics. Truly, I can't get enough of this group of players... and the women who love them! If you love sports romance, this is certainly one not to be missed! 

Wild Hit is a closed-door romance with kisses only. They kisses do get a bit heated and it does have some innuendo and language throughout as well. It is the third book in the Wild Baseball Romance series, and while previous characters do make appearances, I do think this could be enjoyed as a standalone as well.
