Elevator Pitch by L.B. Dunbar
5.0
This is the first book in a new series by L.B Dunbar and it smacked so good. I have become quietly addicted to LB's writing, as the main character(s) are in the over 40 category and are relatable. And, come on, who doesn't love a silver fox?
So this time around, we have Ross, coach (and previous baseball player as well), widower and father of two boys. He is touted on social media as having a string of "flings" with young, model type women, and even his latest, there is quite the age gap. He meets Verona (Vee) in a "meet cute" scenario, aka elevator, and she is immediately shocked, as during his baseball career, she had quite the crush. Vee too is a widow, mother of two girls, and is the well known romance author (writing under a pseudonym). Their meet cute, or happy chance, seems them share Vee's bed (just sleeping) after Ross shows up to drown is sorrows with Vee. This leads to him getting offered the coaching position of his old team, Chicago Anchors, and there starts the whole "lucky charm" crazy arrangement, Ross pitches to Vee.
Being older, there is some heavy suitcases carried around by both Ross and Vee, and LB beautifully showcases how these are flung open and emotions become overwhelming for both our main characters. There is alot of learning, alot of healing, and to not lose focus on that winning ball. There connection was palpable, but it was trusting their hearts as well as there gut that saw them try and navigate the bases to get that win. I loved everything about this, and so look forward to seeing what's next in this series.
