With all of her curves, Clare does not have a great image of herself. So when hotshot and oh so sexy Antonio falls for her she does not think that his feeling are real. The only way he can prove to her is for him to invite her to into the Bases Loaded game - a game involving four men at all the bases all at once. If she can go through all the innings she will not only get her charm but also the understanding that she is a beautiful and desirable woman. But will Antonio allow her into the game? Wow - after this story you need a drink and a cigarette. Filled with a whole lot of angst and romance this was a fabulous read.

Roz Lee’s BASES LOADED is an erotic, contemporary romance.

When Antonio Ramirez was a New York baseball player and Clare Kincaid was living in New York, attending Julliard, she watched Antonio’s baseball games as often as possible. Clare was attracted to Antonio and would often fantasize about him, although they had never met. Clare is now the organist for the Dallas Mustangs Baseball team and Antonio has just been traded to the Mustangs, as their new centerfielder. Antonio sees Clare at an auction they are both attending, and falls head over heels. Antonio introduces himself to Clare and she is thrilled, but unfortunately she has no self confidence. Clare can’t imagine why Antonio is attracted to her when he normally dates models and actresses. Clare is curvy and full figured and doesn’t realize how beautiful she is.

I liked Antonia, he is a nice guy, a hot baseball player and always trying to make Clare feel good about herself and let her know how he much he likes her. Antonio had a wild past and is finally ready to settle down once he sees Clare. However, I found it hard to believe Antonio could fall in love with Clare so quickly. It’s hard to believe he could have such strong feelings for her after one conversation.

I liked the idea of a handsome, rich baseball player falling in love with a normal, everyday women rather than a supermodel, but Clare’s whining got on my nerves. She constantly complained about feeling unattractive and didn’t understand why Antonio wanted to date her. Antonio is willing to do anything to convince her.

There are a lot of hot steamy scenes in BASES LOADED. Some of the scenes are between Antonio and Clare and some include other people joining them. BASES LOADED has a whole new meaning for me now!

This book is not for everyone.
My interest was held through reading this.
Clare is very insecure about herself, being not "model thin" and will not believe when Tony tells her how beautiful she is. This is very common for women though
She asks Tony to let her "run the bases", he has a hard time giving into her wish but ...... well you have to read to find out
beware this book contains many sex scenes and multiple partners

Here's a case where the free teaser worked. I read Free Agent and then paid for and devoured the rest of the series in short order. Yeah, there are things I could quibble about, but I had too much fun reading the series to get hung up on those aspects.
