About this ebook

A baseball pro learns a few tricks from a beautiful dog trainer in this beach town romance by the USA Today bestselling author of No Tan Lines. Richmond Rogues’ left-fielder Joe “Zoo” Zooker has his own ritual for the start of spring training—a weekend of pure pleasure, including as many pretty faces and curvaceous bodies as he can charm into his bed. After that, he’s all about baseball, especially with hungry minor leaguers just waiting to take his place. But when a beautiful woman with a smart mouth brushes off his flirting, he’s determined to go to bat as often as it takes to win a smile aimed only at him. 
 
Stevie may be new to the beach town of Barefoot William, but she’s seen plenty of hot and hunky charmers like Zoo before. Managing her aunt’s doggie daycare business, she’s up to her ears in rowdy puppies—and she doesn’t need a lifelong hound like Zoo breaking her heart. Still, there’s no denying the attraction between them, and as spring training heats up, lust suddenly begins to look a lot like love.

Ratings and reviews

The Rogues are back in Barefoot William for another spring training and the players are as wild as ever! Joe “Zoo” Zooker likes having his own kind of fun before training begins with as many willing ladies as he can find. After that it's all baseball all the time. That is until a certain sassy woman catches his eye. Stevie knows Joe Zooker's type all too well and she is immune to his charm! Besides she's way too busy for the likes of him. He's not giving up that easy though!! I love these Barefoot William books and this is one of my favorites! Great characters and a nice easy story make this a perfect lazy day read. I highly recommend it.

I loved, loved, loved Stevie and Joe in No Time to Explain by Kate Angell. This is a wonderful book that brings the reader once again back to Barefoot William. Stevie is in Barefoot William to help her injured aunt run her doggy day care. Joe, “Zoo”, Zooker, left fielder for the Richmond Rogues, is ready for spring training but has to deal with a minor leaguer vying for Joe’s spot. From their first meeting at a bridal event, which is hysterical, until the end, Stevie is unsure how to react to Joe’s comments and attention. Zoo actually is no longer into his womanizing and partying ways once he meets Stevie. There’s a secret that could affect the outcome of the relationship between Stevie and Zoo. I also loved the appearances of some of my favorite Rogues, those still single and those married. The family the Rogue players create is amazing and tight. Also the appearance of front office and first generation Rogues, Risk Kincaid, Psycho McMillan and Kason Rhode who play a part in the outcome of the left fielder rivalry and revealing Stevie’s secret. There is a secondary romance between Zoo’s dog Turbo and his rival’s dog Etta, which just adds to the fun and games within the story. I totally loved reading this book and really had trouble putting this book down. Kate Angell is a wonderful story teller and it was very difficult to put this book down. She wrote a fun and entertaining story that drew me in and not letting go until I turned the last page. I really want to retire in Barefoot William or at least winter there. This book should definitely be on everyone’s reading list. I highly recommend this book to other readers and cannot wait for the next Barefoot William/ Rogue story by Kate Angell. I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
