About this ebook

Talk about a wild day... As if being summoned to the deathbed of a grandfather she didn’t know existed wasn’t enough—Isla Bennett meets the man of her dreams. Spends an amazing day playing tourist around Nashville with him. And then finds out she’s inherited the Nashville Slammers major league baseball team. Oh, and her new dream man? He’s the Slammers’ star power hitter. Isla just went from amazing first date to holy heck I’m your boss in the span of a day.

Liam Cruz can’t believe how refreshing it was to spend a day with someone who didn’t know his batting average, the size of his last contract, or heck, even that he’s a baseball player. Now Isla’s thrust into the spotlight, and though she’s more than capable of handling herself professionally, he takes it upon himself to teach her everything he can about the game that is his whole life. But they’ll have to keep it on the DL.

Because doing what’s best for the team means they can never be together—and that might be the toughest play of all.

Ratings and reviews

Time just flew by. I am utterly in love Isla and Liam. Holford draws from the adage that good things can happen to good people. Isla is proof of that. In one day, her whole life changes. Then she falls in love and her happiness starts to unravel. Liam is the man, She's waited her whole life to find. Too bad, she's his boss. Covering All The Bases hit a homerun for me. My heart says a repeat performance is in order.

This was an ok book to read, I honestly do not have to continue the series. Liam is a baseball player who is on the verge of retirement but has finally got the chance to play for his hometown team something he has always wanted to do his whole life. Working for his families bar he meets Isla who has no clue who he is since she knows nothing about baseball and that instantly attracts Liam. Isla is heartbroken, she has just found out that not only does find out that she still had a grandfather but that she didn't make it in time to meet him and he has left his beloved baseball team to her. Isla and Liam are instantly in love but now they can not be together since she is now his boss and to top it off her father is a horrible person who is doing his best to take the team away from her since he feels it is due to him and she is not good enough for it,. Boy is he going to get a surprise. Rcvd and ARC at no cost to author..(netgalley) Voluntarily reviewed with my own thoughts and opinions

4.5 Stars I loved this book so much! I was hooked right from the beginning and I couldn't put this one down. Isla and Liam are so adorable together. Liam is just book boyfriend material, period. I was drawn to this book because Liam is a baseball player and I'm a fan of Jody Holford's writing. She created such great characters even the antagonists. Boy did I wanted to pop a few characters in the head. I loved the whole idea of Isla being the owner of a baseball team. Being a huge baseball fan myself I was all in on this book. This is definitely a make you feel good book from start to finish. It's a book that got me so invested in the characters from from the start that you're rooting for them the whole way. This is a book highly recommend. I can't wait for more from the series!
