Making the Play

He is gorgeous. He is rich. He is a baseball player. Everyone wants a piece of him. They meet in an unconventional way and it's all he needs to change his focus. Being on the injured list isn't something he likes but he may have just found a bright side to it! Heartthrob is a sweet and sexy love story. It also has a dastardly villain. (Really he's a chump masquerading as a man!) I have a feeling you are going to call for this "prince" just like the rest of us! One sweet word, sexy encounter, and heartwarming moment at a time!

This is one of those - A romance that invokes all the fuzzy wuzzy, marshmallow feel-good emotions that are the reason I delve into the pages of a romance. I fell in love with both of the main characters right from the green light! Chloe just has so much energy and heart and darn if her daddy didn't raise her right. Her world has been one loss after another and yet she still sees the sunshine in the cloudiest of skies. I will say she is a lot more forgiving than I would be. Finn is the perfect book boyfriend. Fun, athletic, he gives off the whole boy next door vibe. Finn has had a rough time of it himself. Despite being American Royalty his life has not been easy. He has secrets and scars of his own. The two of them together? A Grand-slam!! If you are looking for the perfect afternoon read that evokes all those happy notes - this is definitely it. Laughter, a little angst, the trials of a loving family (I can not wait to read the brothers stories) and a whole lot of sweet romance.

HEARTTHROB is the first instalment in Robin Bielman’s contemporary, adult AMERICAN ROYALTY romance series focusing on the Auprince brothers. This is MLB center fielder Finn Auprince, and social media manager Chloe Conrad’s story line. Told from dual first person perspectives (Finn and Chloe) HEARTTHROB follows the building relationship between MLB center fielder Finn Auprince, and social media manager Chloe Conrad. Finn Auprince broke his collarbone in the final game of the World Series costing the team the game and the championship. Struggling to move beyond the stigma of losing and the realization that his patience is straining thin, team management hires social media manager Chloe Conrad, in an effort to boost Finn’s online persona. What ensues is the building relationship between Chloe and Finn, and the potential fall-out as Chloe struggles with issues of trust in the face of recent events including Finn’s reputation with the fairer sex. Chloe Conrad believes she is cursed. All of her relationships have ended when the men that she loves fall in love with someone else. Meeting Finn Auprince finds Chloe battling her attraction to a man who has the ability to destroy what’s left of her heart. Finn Auprince is the media darling of the MLB’s Landsharks, but recent events find our hero struggling to keep up social appearances. When the team hires Chloe Conrad, the attraction is immediate but Chloe’s recent history is too raw to move beyond professional and friendly. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text. We are introduced to Finn’s extended family including his brothers- restauranteur Ethan, and IT specialist Drew: their mother Liza Auprince, and their grandmother Rosemary; Team PR director Rena; as well as Chloe’s ex boyfriend Leo, her father Casey Conrad, and young baseball fans Josh and Jesse. Ethan’s story line is next in SWEET TALKER. HEARTTHROB is a story of family, friendship, relationships and love. The premise is spirited and spicy; the characters are sexy and sassy; the romance is seductive and captivating. A great start to a wonderful series.
