REVIEW:
Fan's of Jennifer Bernard's Bachelor Firemen of San Gabriel series are going to be over the moon to discover her newest series, Love Between the Bases. All of Me, the first book in this series, takes the trademark Jennifer Bernard, humor, romance and heat to a whole new, pardon the pun.. playing field.
If you thought the Bachelor Firemen of San Gabriel got into some trouble, you haven't seen anything yet. These boys are so wild the more conservative residents of the town want them gone.. enter the Can the Catfish petition that Sadie Merritt, now finds herself assigned to resolve. She can't afford to lose her job with the Mayor, it is the only one she was able to secure after the fallout with her nasty ex- the "Golden Boy" of Kilby.
Caleb is in a slump, his pitching is so bad it is painful to watch, he has to get over this issue, so when the team owner assigns him to a PR campaign to help improve the Catfish's image in the community he is less than thrilled. Caleb and Sadie both enter their tasks a little reluctantly, but as their friendship/relationship develops, All of Me quickly becomes the perfect contemporary romance. The more time Caleb spends with Sadie the better his game gets, Now, if they can get the team to play nice, then maybe this situation will work out for the best for Caleb, Sadie, Kilby and the Catfish.
Caleb is a hero that grows on you and Sadie is a heroine that you want to hug and then throw water balloons at the rest of the people in town that treat this sweet girl unfairly. I found myself throughly entertained with lighthearted banter and just enough drama to keep me turning the pages. From the Can the Catfish petition to the Save the Slugs campaign, I fell in love quickly with the quirky members of the team and community and I can't wait for more from this series.
I gave All of Me - 5 STARS and agree that it's another home run for Jennifer Bernard!\
