The Trade: A Teammate's Sister Romantic Standalone Kindle Edition
I got the dreaded phone call, the one every baseball player hopes and prays never comes. I was traded. Yeah, that phone call. Traded from my long time team of over ten years. And not just to any team, but my childhood rivals; the Chicago Rebels.
Completely and utterly screwed, right? Wrong.
The trade was the least of my concerns.
I met a girl. Natalie. Man, she's perfect. I swore I would never get involved with anyone during the season. Too complicated. But can you believe I have zero restraint when it comes to this girl? I couldn't get her out of my head and the more I talked to her, the more I realized I needed her in my life.
So what's the problem? Why am I screwed? Because, Natalie, the girl I can't stop crushing on, yeah . . . she's married. At least, that's what I was told . . .

- Reviewed in the United States on March 14, 2020I knew that as soon as we were introduced to Cory's character that he would turn out to be one of my favorite men in this series.. And DAMN do I love him so much!
Cory is a professional baseball player, and one of the best ones in the league, and all of a sudden he is being traded to his most hated team in the middle of the season. His new teammates don't like him, the fans boo him, and the media is constantly hounding and spreading malicious lies about him and his character. He's putting on a brave face, but all of this is starting to get to him.. And then he meets the light in his now dark world.
Natalie -- Jason's sister -- is a newly divorced thanks to philandering ass of a ex husband, and thanks to the cruel remarks he made excusing his infidelity, she's riddled with insecurities. When she first meets Cory she immediately likes him, but feels that she is completely out of his league .. But the more time they spend together, the more she realizes how truly right they are for one another. Their relationship is pure, beautiful, sexy, and everything else you can think of. They fall in love with each other very quickly, but it never felt rushed or forced. It was just so magical between them.. until the stress of Cory's career has him making the biggest mistake of his life.
My heart broke for both him and Natalie, and even though I understood him to a point, I hated how long he waited to make things right. But in the end he realized just how much Natalie was the only constant, good thing in his life, and is determined to never again make her question his love for her.
Natalie is such an amazing character. She's beautiful (but doesn't know it) is down to earth, hilarious, awkward, so adorable.. And just is so true to who she is. I cried along with her when she felt insecure, because it was so damn real. I'm so, so happy that her and Cory got their happy ever after!!! I so hope we get Maddox's book, too! I'm not ready to leave this series!
Meghan is definitely one of my favorite authors, and this is a must read series!! Go one click now!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2024Cory Potter is one of the best players in major league baseball. When he got traded mid-season from his long time team to one of the teams in Chicago, he struggled to find his place. The press and the fans went out of their way to make his life miserable. But he still soldiered on, working out and hitting the ball better than anyone else.
He met his teammate Jason's sister Natalie at a fundraiser. He wasn't interested in a relationship before, because his focus was all on the game - but now his focus was on Natalie. When he heard she was married, it was a blow to his heart because he'd finally met the beautiful, intelligent, and kind woman who he thought might be "the one".
Natalie is recovering from her divorce from the only man she's ever been with. She and her friends think she needs to fling it up for a while since she'd been in that relationship since her mid teens. When she and Cory somehow wind up sharing a room at a family & friends vacation shortly before spring training starts, Cory first discovers her single status and then learns that she's not planning to jump into a new relationship - so he tries to put the brakes on his attraction to her.
This is another cute story from author Meghan Quinn. There's attraction and learning about each other - and these two main characters are just good people who deserve a happily ever after. But there are bumps in the road, almost all from the way Cory gets treated by the Rebel fans and the press. That's the biggest unlikely part of the story but for the sake of fiction friction, I'll allow it (ha)
I always enjoy MQs books.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2020I was so excited to read Cory’s story. Heck, they’re all good & I can’t wait to read more. Cory is such a sweetheart but a hot one. I loved how honest & good natured he was. I loved the connection he had with Natalie. I loved the playfulness he & Jason had, because if you’ve read The Lineup, you know Jason is a nut & crazy about Cory. Natalie just happens to be Jason’s sister, so you know Jason had to be elated for them two to be interested in each other. Cory knew he wanted Natalie but he didn’t know she wanted him to. The sexual tension could’ve been cut with a knife at times. I was like “come on & get together already” just so my heart could calm down. LOL! I loved how Natalie & Cory got to know each other too. It was fun & frustrating, in a good way though. I did feel really bad for Cory, because the baseball fans were horrible to him after he was traded to the Rebels. He tried to ignore it but sometimes it was really hard. Then something happened & it broke my heart, which Meghan knows how to do well in all of her books. This book made me smile a lot and then when I saw the bonus at the end, I was elated because I got more of Cory. If you haven’t read this series yet, I highly recommend it. They’re comical, fun, romantic, sexy & sometimes heart breaking. Love them all!

3.0 out of 5 stars Nope
I didn’t like this story. First, it was too slow then we went fast but come on, how do you forgive that so easily especially after that long? Nope. I’m not convinced, not one bit.

5.0 out of 5 stars Oh my word!!!
This book is wonderful! Cory and Natalie are perfect for each other, their personalities, banter, chemistry and ability to know what the other needs is uncanny! Throughout this book I felt I was feeling each and every emotion they felt, especially the frustration and couldn’t put the book down until I knew what was happening for sure!
Lots of heat, emotions, determination and friendship throughout this book and it makes it’s hard to put down!
This series is brilliant and each book just keeps giving! Looking forward to more!!
