Home Run, Lulu Moore, New York Lions series

A sexy, accidental pregnancy, one night stand, sports romance from bestselling author, Lulu Moore

Home Run

The New York Lions #5

by Lulu Moore

Blurb:

My name is Tanner Simpson and I’m gonna be a father.

I never intended for it to happen, but one thing led to another and now Millie Robinson and I are connected for life.

I have no problem with this as she’s the woman of my dreams and her being the future mother of my child is the icing on the cake.

There’s just one small snag. 

She can’t stand me.

Shocking, I know, but nevertheless a problem I must solve, preferably before the baby arrives.

So when she needs a new place to live, an opportunity presents itself for Millie to become my neighbor.

When I’m not on the road fighting for a spot in the post season, I’m with Millie morning, noon and night. She wants ice-cream, I’m getting it. Chocolate brownies, no problem.

Navigating impending fatherhood is nothing compared to convincing Millie to take a chance on me. On us.

She’s been my Home Run since the first day I laid eyes on her.

Now I need to prove to her I’m as lovable as everyone says I am, and the one she needs around forever.

Author Info:

Lulu started writing by accident, and somehow found herself stuck in a fictional world of ice hockey, baseball and billionaires. A world she has no plans to leave. She’s the creator of The New York Players Series, The Tuesday Club Series, and The New York Lions – the worst team in the M.L.B.

More recently she’s ventured across the Atlantic to where her latest novel is set – the beautiful cities of Oxford and Cambridge, and the annual rowing showdown on the River Thames.

She’s a big fan of strong heroines, because those fierce alphas need someone to keep them in check. You’ll find her navigating her way through Romance Land one HEA at a time, and trying to figure out the latest social media platform she needs to post to.

Spotlight – The Strike Zone

Lulu Moore, New York Lions series, The Strike Zone

The Strike Zone

The New York Lions #4

by Lulu Moore

Blurb:

My name is Parker King, and I am in love.

Except Scout Davison barely knows I exist.

Therefore, I do what any sensible guy does when he’s trying to get a girl’s attention, I ask her out.

Except I’m too late.

Thanks to the job offer on the New York Lions Social media team, Scout’s focus is on work, so while pining for her I focus on making her my friend instead. Friends first, date later.

Or at least I thought.

The more time we spend together though, the harder it becomes for both of us to deny our feelings.

And when a new company policy makes it almost impossible for us to give in, we find ourselves falling for one another.

Now all we need to do is keep our relationship a secret until after the playoffs, and avoid Coach breathing down our necks.

The Strike Zone is a dangerous place to stay, but we’re going out swinging.

Review – The Baller

Book Review, Lulu Moore, New York Lions series, The Baller

The Baller

The New York Lions #3

by Lulu Moore

Blurb:

My name is Lux Weston and I’m a matter of national security, apparently.

All I did was meet a beautiful girl in a bookstore, then rescue her. One… twice… and maybe a third time—from a creeper.

The problem? The creeper turned out to be Secret Service, and the girl… well, she’s Radley Andrews—the President’s only daughter.

It has disaster written all over it. I should stay away.

She’s a student, I’m a major league baseball player.

She’s trying to hide from the spotlight, I’m standing underneath it.

Not to mention I’ve never had a relationship, and Radley has her own demons to battle.

When she starts looking at me the way I’m looking at her, staying away becomes impossible. Soon we’re sneaking secret dates and I’m making her breakfast.

While Radley might be the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen, she’s become something better.

Mine.

*****

Review:

This is the first of Moore’s books that I’ve read and from their very first meeting to their HEA, I loved it. Lux is smart, caring, and sensitive to Radley’s needs. She’s dealing with some trauma from her past, but she wants to move on, to be “normal”. And Lux and their friends are there every step of the way to support her, push her, and help her when life throws her a curve ball.

I will say that I wished that Radley was just a touch older. I understand, based on her past, why she needed to be 19. And her history probably helped her to grow up pretty darn quick, but it still is awfully young. I did appreciate the way Moore had Radley working with a therapist and putting those sessions into work in her real life. (I love how authors today are normalizing mental health in stories.)

Full of humor, steam, and straight up adorableness, The Baller might have been my first Moore story but it won’t be my last.

Spotlight – Oar Than Friends

Lulu Moore, Oar Than Friends

Keep your friends close, and your competitor closer

“Lulu Moore created a perfect book boyfriend in OAR THAN FRIENDS. Oz is the very definition of boy obsessed and his pursuit of Kate is absolutely delicious! This book is sweet and sexy and I didn’t want it to end!” ~ New York Times bestselling author Monica Murphy

Oar Than Friends

by Lulu Moore

Blurb:

She’s rowing for Cambridge. He’s rowing for Oxford. But they just can’t keep one another at oar’s length . . .

Arthur Osbourne-Cloud has his future mapped out for him – graduate Oxford and follow his dreadful father into politics. Except Arthur wants anything but that. He’d rather spend his days rowing for gold at the Olympics,.

And this year he has the Boat Race to win.

Kate Astley also has her future mapped out. Fly half-way across the world, and win a scholarship at Cambridge University to study medicine. Oh, and crew for the legendary Boat Race. Seems simple enough.

But then she meets Arthur.

For Arthur, this feisty American challenges everything he’s been taught to believe, while Kate battles between what she’s expected to do, and what she wants to do.

The bitter rivalry between their universities ought to destroy them. Or will it just be a matter of time before they surrender to the sizzling chemistry between them?

But In The Boat Race, there can only be one winner. Who will sink and who will swim?

PRAISE FOR OAR THAN FRIENDS:

‘I could not put this book down‘ Goodreads Reviewer

‘A breathtakingly unique take on the college rivals and sports romance tropes’ Goodreads Reviewer

‘5+ stars!’ Goodreads Reviewer

‘This book gives it all, and I’m not ashamed to say, I laughed, I cried, and I may have bit through my lip because of the tension in the end’ Goodreads Reviewer

‘It’s a 5-star read – if I could give more I would’ Goodreads Reviewer

Spotlight – The Shake Off

Lulu Moore, New York Lions series, The Shake Off

The Shake Off

The New York Lions #2

by Lulu Moore

Blurb:

My name is Ace Watson, and I’m having an existential crisis.

I finished last season as one of the league’s best pitchers. Baseball’s smooth-talking boy wonder. The future of The New York Lions.

I’m starting this season as the worst.

And I don’t want to sound dramatic, but the fault lies entirely with Payton Lopez.

She walked into my life with her mile long legs and dark brown waves, and threw me the curviest of all curve balls. Overnight my ability to pitch disappeared with my ability to charm, and I found myself riding a one way ticket to being the most expensive bench warmer in the M.L.B.

The only solution: to get Payton to fix what she broke, something she agrees to on one very easy condition.

Before long, what started as a way to get my pitch back, soon turns into any excuse I can find for us to spend time together.

Before long, I have everything I didn’t even realize I wanted.

Now I just need to prove to her that while I exist without baseball, I can’t live without her.

Payton Lopez might have thrown me a curve ball, but I’m pitching it right back.
