Cracked
Chiropractor Allarie Healy spends more and more time dodging her younger sister Simone’s attempts to find her a man. There seems to be no end to what the girl will do. So when the man known for the finest butt in the city ends up in her office for an adjustment, Allarie wonders if it’s all a hoax or if this time her sister has gone too far. Dailey “Wiggle It” Wood, has made a name for himself in minor league baseball from his backfield motion during his batting stance. It’s garnered him arm candy galore and the attention he needs to get noticed for the major league. He’s even in a beefcake calendar. Then a ditzy blonde crashes into his car and drags him off to her chiropractor sister to keep his injury a secret. Allarie’s not his type. Dailey’s not hers. But when they’re thrown together and forced to play a couple, perhaps their images of the ideal partner might just be… Cracked.

Chiropractor helps minor league ball player with back problem.
Have no idea what they see in each other except outward attraction. I don't get it.
I enjoyed the banter between the sister, but not enough to give it more than one star.
There was no depth here and nothing original except that the heroine was a chiropractor.

I would have liked this book a little bit better had it been proof read. In one spot it was very difficult to know who was talking between Diego and Dailey.

The cover was misleading ... Definitely anti-climatic......

This was a wonderful short story about two people in denial and I'm not talking the river in Egypt. Just a nice romance story with some baseball. Perfect for postseason.

Lovely short
Dr Allarie owns her own Chiropractic facility, with her sister Simone running the office. Allarie is just going through the motions of life and not really living. Since losing her fiancé Mark in a freak accident, she promised to never love another like she did him. Along comes Dailey Wood a semi-pro baseball player with a beautiful "ASS"ett! He is heading home from a game when he is rear ended by Simone. His back is injured, but no one can know. It would destroy his chances for a Major League contract. Simone's husband David will repair his car, Dr Allarie can fix his back. Dailey & Allarie recognize the attraction, but she fights it. Mostly out of guilt, for moving on after Mark. Read along as they work through her not being a sports fan, him being a bit of a player & a meddling sister hellbent on getting Allarie laid!! This was a fun, short story to read. The characters were funny & enjoyable. Check it out, I think you'll like it!

im currently having mixed emotions about this book. i loved the characters in the book. our heroine was tough and smart but sweet with realistic hangups. her sister was hilarious. dailey was sweet but he couldve used alot more character development. the plot was definitely interesting i like the switch up of super successful lady with slightly less so man. good for even non sports lovers like me. my major issue though was the ending. you have 200 pages or so of buildup...no sex scenes at all and relationship development only to a minor extent and then bam its over in two pages. i was really enjoying it up until then but i was really disappointed at the lack of follow through
overall its funny and cute so it might be worth the read once but definitely wont be one i reread

3.5 Stars
First and foremost, I liked this book. Actually more than I thought that I would. The cover is brilliant and the story was captivating. I loved the characters but felt that they were missing development. I liked Allarie and her sister and I really like Wiggle It/Dailey :)
The trouble with the book is that it was way to short and lacked that development that it needed. I think it would have been a whole lot better had it been a whole lot longer. I needed more and I just did not feel that it was there.

I like that there was sexual tension between the lead couple ( a lot of authors give their characters no chemistry or rely on sex to try to put chemistry). I wish that the story was longer so I could see more of the relationship develop though. The lead guy was interesting because he had aspirations and dimensions. The leading lady had a job that is not apart of the chick-lit/romance authors career checklist so that was exciting.
This one was one of the good books in the batch: http://themollyweather.wordpress.com/...

I agree with the rest of the reviewers, it was really short and the ending was rather abrupt. I didn't feel like there was enough build up to them finally getting together and it just felt rushed to me.
I was also disappointed that there were no sex scenes at all, especially after the two times that Dailey and Allarie found themselves naked together. I felt like it was misleading and it would have been better to just take those two scenes out.

I really enjoyed reading this book and the storyline however, it seemed to end rather abruptly. I would have liked a little more story at the end. The heroine and her sister were great together and their interactions added just the right amount of comic relief. I would have liked to have gotten more character development for the hero, Daily. I feel like we got a little short-changed in learning about him.

Quick read. Cute short live story. Allarie is a quiet chiropractor who is all work & no fun. Her little sis always teases het about it. One day little sis has a fender bender with a local minor celebrity Dailey & offerers up her sister chiropracticing skills as an apology.
The sisters are funny. Dailey seems sincere & Allarie is sweet.

It wasn't really all that.
I felt like the romance was way to rushed because they met, got into a fight and then are in love? That's just too unrealistic.
And the playout wasn't really interesting or kept you wanting to read it..
It took me a long time to read because I was just so bored reading it
I don't really know how to rate it..

I enjoyed this story! Loved the main character's name Allarie. She has been so focused on her career that she has forgotten to take time for a personal life. Her sister accidentally got into a crash with a hot and up and coming baseball player. She is convinced they would be perfect for one and other. What starts out as harmless coincidence soon turns into a romance. Sweet quick read!

This book is slightly more than a short story (170 pages) but it reads really fast. You don't need to like sports to enjoy it. Being from a large family of sisters, I laughed at the interaction between characters.

A fun and cute romance story with good characters. My only complaint is I was left wanting more to the story. More interaction between Al and Dailey, more resolution to the story, and more romance. I really liked the story and do recommend it for a quick fun read.

Cute but short read. This definitely could've been a novel read with just a tad bit more effort. I really wanted more of Allerie & Dailey. The ending was rushed and couldn't enjoy the breakup/makeup/HEA. But overall, an enjoyable read.

I liked the synopsis of the book but the story it's self was just okay. The writing seemed like it was done by a teenager and it was just too cute of a story. And the way it ended seemed too fast. It needed a few more pages to make it better.

I really enjoyed this short sweet romantic and sexy book. I loved that Al was unsure and not protruded as hot God looking women finding it hard to fine the one. Not sure about hero name Dailey Wood. But I did like the ending. HEA

Ehh...
It's a nice story, the dynamics of the sisters is hilarious, the way the talk back and forth to each other made me like the story more, few grammatical errors, would be a better book if it was longer and had more details.

It's a cute short romantic read, but although the cover tries to be sexy there's NO sex in the actual story. I find that weird but I'm sure some people will like it more for that.

Cute story. Needs a roof reader. It has a great set up but then the ending is sped up and ends abruptly.
October 14, 2012
Really cute love story. Don't let the cover give you the wrong idea: this is a clean read lol. Loved it :)

Hmmm - not bad. Easy read.

Was a cute short read, but it totally could have been drawn out and the story developed a little more. The end felt a little rushed but still good.

The book was ok... the ending left a lot to be desired.
December 9, 2012

Short but very cute story.

Super short book. I was wanting more at the end. There was a good build up and then it just ended nice wrapped up in bow. It could've been longer and worked better.
