Synopsis:

Kelton

My entire life, as far back as I can remember, I had a baseball in my hands. Baseball was the one true constant in my life. A game I’ve always loved, and I’m good at it.
So when my dream came true to play professionally, everything felt like it’d finally aligned. I dropped everything, but the hardest part, was leaving my family and those I love behind.

Emerson

He’d gotten the chance of a lifetime. So it would have been wrong for me to hold him back. I smiled, and wished him the best, pretending that watching him leave wasn’t one of the hardest things I’d ever faced. I’d pretended, and done a great job at it, until I was invited to travel with a group of friends to watch him play.
Everything was different under all the lights, with the sounds of thousands of fans cheering. It was surreal, and when our eyes met, all those feelings I’d tucked away came rushing back.

How do I pretend that I don’t still feel like Kelton James has my heart in his hands. How do I hold back, when he pulls me in for a hug. The familiar scent of his cologne taking me back to the last time he held me close.
Most importantly, how do I walk away a second time?

Grand Slam by C.A. Harms is the fifth book in the Tennessee Terrors Series. If you’re new to this series, have no fear, each book can be read as a standalone! Also, each book in this series is written by a different author which makes for an intriguing series plot! If you love sports romance novels, but especially baseball romances, I can almost guarantee you’ll love the Tennessee Terrors Series!

Now let’s dive into what Grand Slam by C.A. Harms is all about!

Kelton has the world in the palm of his hands. He’s a major league baseball player and has endorsement deals worth millions. But when the game is over, the lights go out and Kelton goes home to silence, he realizes there is something missing.

Emerson has only known one true love in her life. That title belongs to her best friend’s older brother, who also happens to be the man she gave her V Card to two years ago. Having watched him drive away from her to chase his dreams crushed her in the worst ways. Now, Emerson finds herself arriving in Tennessee with her best friend to pick out a house for Kelton and maybe catch a game or two. What she doesn’t anticipate is for past feelings to come boiling to the surface, and this time those feelings aren’t all one-sided. And that’s where I’m going to stop this portion of my review!

My Thoughts:

C.A. Harms just delivered my favorite book in the Tennessee Terrors Series! Holy Crow! Emerson and Kelton’s story is full of heart and heat! I read this in one sitting, so if you decide to read this book clear your schedule! I’ve read a few books from this author, so I had a very strong feeling this book was going to be a love for me. C.A. Harms did not let me down. My heart adored every single moment of Emerson and Kelton’s story.

Let’s start with Emerson. I loved the fact that Emerson wore her heart on her sleeve. There was not a single moment where I doubted her feelings for Kelton. I also loved the vulnerability she showed throughout this novel. She has a down to earth personality and that’s exactly what Kelton needed in his chaotic life. The relationship between Emerson and her best friend may have been one of my favorite friendships I’ve been introduced to in a long time. Alizabeth and Emerson had that special bond, and a sisterhood that was not forced. So if you love novels that portray strong friendships, this is a book you will love!

And then we have Kelton. Sweet, Sweet Kelton. This man can do no wrong in my eyes! I loved how sincere and honest he was throughout this novel. The fact that he wasn’t a womanizing playboy like so many heroes in sports novels are had me swooning hard. My heart adored this man and all that he brought to this story.

Now the reason why I gave Grand Slam a five star rating. I loved the emotion that C.A. Harms brought to Emerson and Kelton’s story. There wasn’t a sing moment where I doubted these two would make it. I had a permanent smile on my face throughout the whole novel.

It’s difficult to write a review and not add spoilers. And with this novel, you do not want to be spoiled. So I’m going to end this review by saying, it’s been a long time since I last felt this amount of love and emotion when reading a novel. Most importantly, I loved the fact that I never questioned if this relationship would last. I can’t wait to read more from C.A. Harms in the very near future! If you’re a fan of the Surprise Pregnancy, Baseball Romances, and Best friend’s Older Brother tropes I highly recommend you run to amazon and pick Grand Slam by C.A. Harms up today!
