 Another one for the keeper shelves..... May 26, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
The sleepy town of Frostproof, Florida, is about to be shaken up when players from the Richmond Rogues, winners of the World Series, visit. Hometown hero Risk Kincaid wants to show Jacy Grayson that he can be more than her rebound lover. Fellow Rogues teammate, Zen Driscoll, is merely along for the ride until he meets Frostproof native, Stevie Cole. Unfortunately, Stevie is still pining for her childhood sweetheart and hotshot Tampa Bay Bombers pitcher, Aaron Grayson. But is Aaron still the man Stevie fell in love with? And will Risk have the courage to tell Jacy just how special she is to him before the summer ends?
Kate Angell has set the standard for sports-themed romances! SQUEEZE PLAY and the sequel, CURVEBALL, demonstrate just how well a romance can be intertwined with the sporting world. Baseball has never seemed so sexy or entertaining as it is in the hands of the gifted Kate Angell. But whether one is a fan of baseball or not, SQUEEZE PLAY can be enjoyed as the characters are simply so much fun!
Kate Angell has a definite gift at creating memorable and quirky characters. Jacy's unique style shines through each page and her open and caring attitude make her an endearing character. And who can't help but love Stevie and her seemingly limitless knowledge of useless baseball trivia? In fact, the only character I struggled with liking was Natalie, and thankfully her role was minor.
SQUEEZE PLAY is yet another hit from the talented Kate Angell as she brings the town of Frostproof and its inhabitants, both temporary and permanent, to life. As the first book in a trilogy, SQUEEZE PLAY sets the stage for CURVEBALL but it is by no means necessary to read these books in order. Kate Angell ensures that each book is a stand alone and the story is complete in and of itself. SQUEEZE PLAY is easily recommended as this delightful tale has definitely found its place on my keeper shelves!

This is a great book. It was like reading two stories in one. It's characters center around professional baseball players that are known as the Bat Pack. The world series is over and they return to Risks hometown for a charity ball game.
Risk and Jacy have been friends forever. Back in High school he helped mend her broken heart. They made a deal then and he has been picking up the pieces ever since. They are rebound lovers. When one needs the other to pick up the pieces of a bad relationship they call and have rebound sex.
Both the characters are completely besotted with eachother but are afraid to do anything that might ruin an already good thing. They are best friends.
Stevie has been in love with Aaron forever. The whole town knows it. So when he comes home with a fiancee, not only is she hurt, but she's hurt in front of the town.
Zen is another pro ball player that comes to town with Risk. He see's what Aaron did to Stevie and tries to be there for her. He's fascinated by the baseball trivia queen.
There are so many wonderful characters in this book. There are so many laugh out loud moments. There are also some moments that will make you teary. It's a very well written book. With clever characters and dialogue. It's fast paced and hard to put down. You'll be as anxious as I am for the next book on the bat pack.
 A nice light-hearted read August 12, 2006
A nice, quirky contemporary romance. Squeeze Play is a good light-read...and I don't mean that in a negative way. It's just a good book when you want something that's light-hearted, funny, and romantic...not something that's an emotionally wrenching and getting-through-tragedy type of deal.
I really enjoyed the characters (most of them). Jacy was great. I loved how quirky she was and how she went her own way. She and Risk were a nice match. The supporting cast was great too. I like Stevie and Zen, and the Bat Pack - those guys (the Bat Pack) cracked me up. They were a great addition to the book. I could have done without Aaron, and definitely without Natalie, but I suppose the were necessary to the book. As for the romance, Angell played it out nicely. Having Risk and Jacy have to spend weeks together without being able to have sex was a great way to strengthen the bond between them. The secondary romance with Stevie and Zen was nice as well.
Squeeze Play was a good read If you like light-hearted romance, you'll like this one.
Great Vacation Read August 5, 2006

Squeeze Play is fun, flirty, sexy. Coffee store owner, Jacy Grayson, is whimsical and free-spirited and the perfect match for hottie center fielder, Risk Kincaid. Visit Frostproof, Florida and enjoy the romance, banter, Stevie and Zen, along with the Bat Pack - who I hope to see more of in Angell's series.
Enjoyable! July 24, 2006

Angell pens a hot summer read. Readers will fall in love with rebound lovers, Risk and Jacy, as they seek a life-long commitment. Nice small town setting. Fun banter. Sizzling sex. Stevie and Zen compliment the story. Aaron and Natalie should be arrested! (read the book and you'll understand). Definitely recommended. Reads in similar tone to Rachel Gibson, Deirdre Martin, and Susan Elizabeth Phillips.
