Perfect sweet spot!

Reviewed in the United States on August 12, 2010

This is the first time I read Lisa Renee's books and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I like the story, even though it was short, the characters were well rounded and left you wanting more.

Amanda Wright was an up and coming sports reporter. It was her first assignment, to get to know the Ray's players and get a few stories for the local paper. When Amanda stepped into that locker room, she did not expect to feel such a strong attraction towards Brad, the star pitcher. Getting involved with an athlete discredited her as a reporter, her reputation would be ruined and so would her career.

Brad Rogers is the star pitcher with the Rays. With an expiring contract, Brad cannot afford another scandal that will mess up his career and getting involved with the new sexy reporter meant trouble. Can they both keep themselves away from the attraction they felt? You must read it to find out.

There were many other characters in the book as well, adding to the plot. Story was sweet, sexy and steamy!!!! Made you forget it is a Harlequin Blaze series and not a 400 page book. Wish there was more! Looking forward to reading more of Ms. Jones books!

The Sweetest Story!

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2020

Loved the story of Amanda the strong woman, who deserved love even though her ex treated her like crap. Brad the arrogant playboy baseball player. He allowed himself to be pulled into a childish bet by the cocky rookie that could turn around and bite him in the but. Will Brad change and become the man Amanda needs or will he fail. A must read. Loved it, could not put it down.

4 1/2 Stars For Hard And Fast!

Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2007

Verified Purchase

I've been waiting for this one since Lisa announced the sale at her blog and I wasn't disappointed.

Hard and Fast is hot, funny, sweet and really well told and I loved every word. In short, it's what I love to see in a category novel and wish I saw more often. It simply reinforces my opinion that Lisa Renee Jones is a wonderful author and I can't wait to see more from her!

While yes, Brad is hot - it was Amanda I really loved in this book. Smart and driven, a woman who is career focused but not stereotypically cold at all. She's compassionate as well as ambitious and I appreciate seeing heroines like this.

Okay now, get to writing, we need more!

A perfect blend of romance, heat, and exciting plot

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2009

Verified Purchase

Lisa blends all three of these together perfecty. Her characters are believable and lovable but at the same time have their own flaws and stories. One of the best things about her characters is that they have an elemental thing in common. This ties into th plot which by the way is definetly thought out. I love her story because it kept me hooked and guessing right up until the end . The sex was hot and the romance was great... I have read a lot of blaze authors and so far Lisa Renee Jones is my favorite. I really recomend this to anyone who enjoys a harlequin blaze. I also recomend her book Santa baby, if you read and like hard and fast.

Romance + Baseball = A Home Run!

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2007

Verified Purchase

I'm not going to write an entire overview since that's already been covered, but would like to say that Lisa Renee Jones has written characters who are intelligent, caring and sensitive, both with very definite ideas about what they want for themselves, now and into the future. Neither is looking for love, and isn't that always when it hits you the hardest? Fun baseball scenes and locker room talk are excellently incorporated into this book and it will especially make for fun summer reading while you watch the boys of summer on television! Add all of that together with an abundance of deliciously passionate romance and you have a beautifully crafted love story - a home run, so to speak!
