Spring Training
Book four in the Seasoned Women Series (Related solely by genre, this is a stand-alone book)
With two diverging careers on the line, Teri and Aaron are torn between the right thing to do...and what feels so right to them.
With a son who's played since he could walk, Teri lives, eats and breathes baseball. She was almost more excited than Emery when his invitation to a minor league team's training camp came. But excited doesn't begin to describe her reaction to Em's new mentor, Aaron Reynolds. A spring fling? Just the ticket.
Fighting a chronic injury, Aaron is biding his time until he can return to the majors. Being assigned a mixed-up rookie to babysit is fine with him, especially one that come with a sassy, sexy camp follower like Teri. But he soon finds he has his hands full...trying to keep Emery on the straight and narrow...and trying to keep his liason with Teri strictly physical.

2 ½ stars. Short story about a nice and sexy relationship - older woman, younger man.
Comforting sexual relationship. Teri is 42 and the mother of a baseball player recently drafted into the minor league. Aaron is 28, a major league baseball star healing from an injury. They have a neat relationship. But then he overhears her talking on the phone and “assumes” the wrong thing, so he is rude and stops the relationship. When they get together again at the end of the story, I was mad. He never told her what he heard and what he assumed. They both just said I missed you, I love you. And that was all. She never knew why he left earlier. So I took away ½ star.
Data:
Narrative mode: 3rd person. Story length: 118 pages. Swearing language: strong including religious swear words but rarely used. Sexual language: strong. Number of sex scenes: 5. Setting: current day U.S. Copyright: 2014. Genre: contemporary romance, older woman younger man.
This story is included in the anthology titled "Seasoned Women Volume Two."

Spring love is in the air! Teri is a mother of twins, and one of them, Emery, is wildly talented at baseball. After her son is scouted for a minor league team, she visits him to be a good mother and check up on him. His roommate Aaron lets her in and immediately the sparks fly.
Aaron is actually a famous ball player on the injured list and when he heard Emery’s number one fan was stopping by, he was expecting a groupie, not the gorgeous 43 year-old mother of his new roommate. He can’t help being attracted to her, even though she’s his roommate’s mom.
Ms. Rhodes has crafted a sweet romance between these two characters. The plot wasn’t complex but instead concentrated on Teri and Aaron, and of course Emery getting into trouble. While the conflict is light between these two, the plot was enjoyable. When they finally hooked up in the end, you could hear the fans go wild. The sex was more on the less explicit side but still satisfying.
My only question was… what happened to the twins? They stole the show! But if you enjoy heroes who know how to swing their bat properly, if you have thing for baseball players, then this book is a must buy. Ms. Rhodes is an auto-buy for me and if you are a fan of hers, this is a title you are sure to enjoy.

August 25, 2014This short story is now out-of-print. I've expanded it to novel length and re-released it under my new MF pen name, Stacey Lynn Rhodes. The novel length version of Spring Training is available at Totally Bound. :)

This story is short but really sweet, and really hot! At only 45 pages I was glued to every word. Now of course being such a short story there has to be insta love. I mean, wait too long while the relationship is developing and WHAM the story is over. But I kind of liked this version. It was more like insta lust, really, but was completely fun to read.
The plot was easy to follow although this is book four in the series. Characters are fabulous and I'm really hoping to see them when I read more from Stacey Lynn Rhoades.

I really liked this one. Teri was a great/strong heroine.
