The Baller

The New York Lionsย #3

by Lulu Moore

Blurb:

My name is Lux Weston and Iโ€™m a matter of national security, apparently.

All I did was meet a beautiful girl in a bookstore, then rescue her. Oneโ€ฆ twiceโ€ฆ and maybe a third timeโ€”from a creeper.

The problem? The creeper turned out to be Secret Service, and the girlโ€ฆ well, sheโ€™s Radley Andrewsโ€”the Presidentโ€™s only daughter.

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

Sheโ€™s a student, Iโ€™m a major league baseball player.

Sheโ€™s trying to hide from the spotlight, Iโ€™m standing underneath it.

Not to mention Iโ€™ve never had a relationship, and Radley has her own demons to battle.

When she starts looking at me the way Iโ€™m looking at her, staying away becomes impossible. Soon weโ€™re sneaking secret dates and Iโ€™m making her breakfast.

While Radley might be the most beautiful girl Iโ€™ve ever seen, sheโ€™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.

*****

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 hear 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.
