ABOUT THE BOOK~
Jennifer Bernard, the USA Today bestselling author of the Bachelor Firemen series, scores another homerun with a brand-new series about sexy, single baseball players.
Playing
for the Kilby Catfish is hotshot pitcher Caleb Hart’s last chance to salvage
his career after a major league meltdown. But the day of his opener with the
minor league team, Caleb strikes out with the gorgeous woman who is delivering
a petition to run the unruly Catfish out of town. Now to stay in the lineup,
Caleb will need to score big with the feisty brunette he can’t keep out of his
thoughts.
After
the nasty lies Sadie Merritt’s rich ex-boyfriend spread about her all over
town, she’s lucky to have a job at all. She can’t afford to screw it up by
falling for the player who is supposed to be helping her change the image of
the fun-loving Catfish. But that’s easier said than done when Caleb’s voice
alone is enough to make her pulse race. And when he surprises her with a
mind-blowing kiss, she knows there’s no turning back.

MY TWO CENTS~
Like prior books by Ms. Bernard, All of Me is easy to read, well written and full of great characters.
All of Me though is much more than a fun flirty romance (it still is). Topics of proving one's self, overcoming obstacles and becoming stronger, and learning to open up and trust are some of the thoughtful topics beautifully dealt with at the heart of this second chances novel.
You'll laugh, cry and root for the home team (and Caleb and Sadie) in this grand slam of a book.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR~
Jennifer
Bernard is the USA Today bestselling author of the Bachelor Firemen of San
Gabriels series. She is a graduate of Harvard and a former news promo producer.
The child of academics, she confounded her family by preferring romance novels
to … well, any other books. She left big city life for true love in Alaska,
where she now lives with her husband and stepdaughters. She’s no stranger to
book success, as she also writes erotic novellas under a naughty secret name
not to be mentioned at family gatherings.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR~
EXCERPT~
“You Catfish really are a menace to decent society. Just like the
petition says.”
“What?”
“That’s right.” She waved the folder.
“They say you’re completely out of control.”
Caleb had heard the talk about the
Catfish too. They liked to party a little too much, and they indulged in the
occasional bar-clearing brawl, but then, they were fun-loving young baseball
players, so what could you expect? Anyway, it wasn’t his problem. He intended
to put Kilby in his rearview mirror as soon as possible. “I wouldn’t know.
Can’t say that I care either.”
“So the stories are true? Did you
guys really fill the community pool with rubber catfish? I heard the senior
exercise group had quite a scare and had to call the paramedics.”
He snorted.
She shook her head sadly. “Things
sure have changed since I came to games as a kid. And to think I thought it was
safe here for a nice, civilized girl like me. Next time I’ll make sure to bring
a bodyguard.”
A bodyguard? Now that was taking it a little too … He caught the
gleam of mischief she hid under the sweep of her eyelashes. Damn. He’d been
right before. She was teasing him.
Whether it was the incredible
frustration of giving up six homers, on top of the preceding frustration of
being sent down, then traded—throw in the never-ending worry about his
family—whatever the cause, all his emotions boiled over in that moment. In two
quick steps he crowded her against the wall—no contact, just heat and sweat and
closeness.
He growled in her ear, his lips
almost brushing the delicate skin there. “There’s only one way to find out if
the stories are true. But you have to want it. Bad. You have to be so hot for
it, you come chasing after me and beg for it. Then you have to prove you can
handle it. Put that in your petition.”
She stared up at him, her pupils
dilated so far her eyes looked black, with a rim of glowing amber. The little
pulse in her neck beat like a drum.
All of a sudden his cock was so hard
his vision blurred. Damn. Where had
that come from? She wasn’t even his type. In fact, she was on the irritating
end of the female spectrum.
He let her go as if she was a
grenade about to explode.
“Duke’s office is down the hall to your right.”
Pushing open the clubhouse door, he
headed directly for the shower. It was going to have to be a cold one.
