Alpha Bad Boy #2
Bad Boy Prospect
The novellas in the Alpha Bad Boy series are standalones that can be read in any order. I hope you enjoy...
Fighting, f***ing, and winning. It's what I do and nobody will stand in my way. It's how I live my life on the field and in the bedroom. I make hitters fear me. If they're scared, it gives me an advantage, and I capitalize on it. People say I have an attitude problem, that I'm a bad boy. It's exactly what I want them to think.
Until I meet Elizabeth, the psychiatrist Coach makes me see. She specializes in pro athletes. There's something about her. Maybe she'll be the one who finally cuts through my layers and sees the real me. Who knows?
Disclosure: This is a novella that can be read in one sitting. It involves instalove, a possessive alpha, and gratuitous sex with an hea. For mature audiences only.

Genre: Erotica
Type: Standalone Book 2 of Alpha Bad Boy novella series
POV: First Person - Dual
Rating:
Gavin Markoff was a minor league pitcher with a talent destined for greatness. His cocky persona was a way for him to instill fear into his opponents. But sometimes, it became too much when he took it out of line and started fighting on the field.
Dr. Elizabeth (Liz) Keller was a psychiatrist working specifically with top athletes. She was assigned to Gavin as a favor for the Coach in an effort to repair Gavin's public image. She had always been professional with her clients, but this time, things might possibly get personal.
This one was short but packed a pounding lol! There's no pretense, but straight to explosive attraction and equally explosive sex. I also like how they poked each other (non sexually :p ), adding some tension to the story.
And of course, the menage at the start of the book [insert sensual growling sound] Excellent intro to his exploits haha!
If you're a baseball fans and love something hot and short, Bad Boy Prospect is a good candidate. But then again, even if you hate baseball, you'd still appreciate the sexiness :D

I scream with each thrust until words and sounds can't escape my lips. My arms fly out to my sides, and my fingers and toes stiffen and curl. My mouth moves but the gibberish stays trapped in my throat.

As I round the corner, these girls are licking each other in a position that can be represented mathematically.

Okay I think my original review stays, 'cause I haven't highlighted anything in this one.
But a few gifs don't hurt. XD
Nothing else to add.XD
-----------------------------------------------------
The only reason I'm not giving it 2 is 'cause of the hot scenes.
I love this author and his books, but this one? is just a NOPE for me, it made me feell like this was more focused to the male audience given that here, is just a happy realization of all their wet fantasies, seriously!
For the girls, I don't know besides the fact that the scenes were hot, as always I just didn't identify with any of the 3 girl that appear in here, and the last one...what ? she just got to see him, to want to be his ragdoll, wasn't she the one with brain of the 3 girls?
Let's just say that I'm not good with all the INSTALOVE, just one look and BAM, do everything u want 2 me, 'cause I'm all your?hahaha, sorry I'm more into: make them suffer a bit more until they earn it. ha!
But either way it was a hot book, quite short, so maybe that's the reason they fell in love in....a second and just that; but so far ....I'm staying with the first one:Bad Boy Revelation, not sure if there's another one coming or something.
so, hot quickie from an arrogant ladiesman baseball player...and a woman that fells for him.
I think that's it. Little rev comming.

Gavin Markoff is a 20 year old closing pitcher with a rocket fastball and a bad boy attitude. Even though he’s playing in the minor league, Gavin’s talent is sure to gain him access to the majors, but his Coach needs him to reign in his behavior before it becomes a distraction. As a solution, Gavin is ordered to have a session or two with Dr. Elizabeth Keller, but she isn’t what he expects.
Elizabeth (Liz) is a 29 year old accomplished and dedicated psychiatrist who is asked to take on Gavin as a patient as a favor to his coach. While she believes she is resistant to young, hot athletes, she doesn’t expect Gavin to actually be intelligent. Of course, trying to deny her attraction is impossible.
During their first meeting, Gavin challenges Liz and it results in quite an intense therapy session. They respond to each other quickly and the sexual tension is palpable. Gavin is very dominant and isn’t shy about expressing his desires or making them happen.
As Gavin and Liz realize there is more than a sexual connection between them, Gavin pursues seeing her outside a professional capacity. What ensues is nothing less than explosive, as they maximize their compatibility.
As you’ve gathered, this novella packs a serious amount of hotness! The progression between Gavin and Liz is a quick one, but on par with the length of this book. I must give props to the ménage scene that occurred prior to meeting Liz. Gavin is the puppet master! For a novella, the character development was spot on and I loved Gavin’s competitiveness in the game. With this one, Sloane Howell hit a grand slam.

“I need more than just my fingers inside of you. I want to taste you.”
As Gavin and Liz realize there is more than a sexual connection between them, Gavin pursues seeing her outside a professional capacity. What ensues is nothing less than explosive, as they maximize their compatibility.
“I want your mouth first.” His hand fists my hair and he leans in, dropping his stare to my bra and lone exposed breast. “Then I think I’ll fuck these tits.” “Then I’ll make you come on this fucking cock.”

Wow. What can I say? I think if there was less time spent on the OW threesome (where he was not a generous lover to both women) there might have been enough words left to give this short story legs.

Home Run Indeed!
Gavin! Gavin! Gavin! This sexy baseball player is truly book boyfriend material. I loved this story. These short stories of Sloane's are fast, sexy, erotic, with sweet endings. I enjoyed the baseball tie in, especially since I am a fan of the sport (Insane Yankee Fan). And who doesn't love a young, sexy, baseball star?
Sloane knows how to keep his readers engaged by writing such raw and very real words for the events that transpire. And trust me, this right here can happen.
Hot! Sexy! Raw! Intense! Love it. More please :)

Hot as usual!
I started reading this with expectations, and my expectations were all met. Except the ending. It was very abrupt and I questioned why the instant love.
I know! I should be used to it, but I am not used to it just yet.
Great story! Let's take a moment of silence to appreciate the erotic writing that was written perfectly in this book...

Ok! Back to the review! Great writing Sloane! Overall a great story and great characters. But because of that ending I deducted a star :( Sorry! But ending your short stories needs some work.
I gave 4.5 stars

Gavin is extremely hot and very arrogant. He is an amazing ball player. If he wants a piece of ass he can get it.....
This book is a very short read and it will have you looking for a ball player in no time. I mean hello the Cardinals start spring training in 5 weeks.
My favorite character is Liz.....she knows how to handle is ass.
Best ending Ever! I will not lie I was a bit girlie with this ending. It was perfect.
Sloane Howell did another amazing job. I can't wait to get my hands on book three.

When we’re first introduced to Gavin and his “bad boy” ways I was into his story but wasn’t thrilled to pieces but that didn’t last long. As soon as Coach had him go to a session with Doc I was pulled in and couldn’t get enough of this story. This is a quick read and by the end I was smiling and count not get over the ending. This is a standalone in a series that has me hooked.

Oh...He's a Bad, Bad, Very Bad Boy Who is Really Good at ...Pitching a Baseball and a'hem...Running the Bases
Sloane Howell writes this bad, dirty boy as any hot blooded women's dream (mostly wet). Gavin is a big gorgeous man with a formidable instrument of love, a creative lover's mind and an insatiable appetite for the delectable charms of the female body. He has somewhat of an anger issue on the playing field as the closing pitcher for most games. His future is in the Majors and he is cultivating a fearsome reputation deliberately.
At his coaches behest, he visits a Doctor specializing in counseling athletes and the unexpected games begin.
It is a short novel with some of the hottest, hot, hot sex ever written. You will be breathing hard and your kindle will do that sway in and out thing with your breathing. It does it to me anyway.
No matter how you get this, in the complete set like I did or purchased individually. This is one for the collection erotica. Your collection will be richer and more complete because of it...not to mention...your heart rate and metabolism will benefit from the reading of it.

Homerun!!!
What a hit! I LOVE how cocky and arrogant Gavin is. He's young and in the prime of his life. Women want him and men want to be him. Hot shot minor league pitcher. He's the closer for sure. He's intimidating, dominating and Alpha through and through.
He's also a hot head and when a fight breaks out on the field his coach insists he go see the psychiatrist to take down his issues.
Elizabeth is use to all these cocky ball players. She's a hard worker and damn good at her job. She brings their egos down notches and brings sense back into them. She's maybe met her match with Gavin.
There is an immediate attraction and neither of them can deny it.
This read will heat you up and make you pant.
Sloane Howell is an amazing Author and he always gives you amazing sexy and steamy reads.

Bad Boy Prospect (Alpha Bad Boy #2) was an all-out scorching read! ((fans herself)) Fast-paced and hot. Baseball lingo and those pants... yum!
Gavin may have taken a little to get use to, but he certainly had no problem bringing me in to his stadium.
Good characters and fun story. NY born and raised, I felt an extra kick to this story that left me grinning ear to ear!

All that is on Gavin's mind is fighting, screwing around with girls and winning. It's the only way he knows, but when he plays baseball he plays old school. However Gavin has got to start realising that he can't get away with starting a fight during the smaller league games as that could cause a lot of trouble for him up in the bigger games. So when his Coach sends him to see a counsellor that specialized in professional athletes, what he wasn't expecting was for her to be so beautiful that he couldn't resist her.
Elizabeth has been a Doctor/Counsellor for quite a while and even though she is used to speaking to all these athletes, when she got the request from one of her mothers friends she isn't exactly sure what to make of the situation. From what she is told is that the guy she is meant to be seeing is such a great guy at baseball but he never sticks to the rules and his coach has fears that he will go out of control. When she does meet Gavin she struggles to hide the fact that she is deeply attracted to him and even though she calls him out on what he does and he does the same back to her you can see that there is a connection between them. However after Gavin skilfully manages to seduce her and plough two fingers into her for the rest of the week she can't seem to shake him from her memory.
What will happen between the two of them, as for Elizabeth it's been a long time since she let anyone try anything with her and then you have Gavin who never has considered a proper relationship. This book will intrigue you from the very beginning. I am enjoying this series very much and recommend you try it too.

I think this may be my favourite Alpha Bad Boy Book! Sloane, you hit this one outta the park! (did I get that term right?!)
It's a quick read with lots of super steamy sex scenes - definitely not for the faint-hearted!
Bad Boy, Gavin, is a minor league baseball player with a temper. He wants to intimidate his opponents and get inside their heads. After yet another outburst, he is sent to see a counselor. A hot counselor. Let the sexiness begin!
I also loved the epilogue :) So sweet!

Love these super short novellas for those times when I want a quick blast of heat from a sexy alpha male! Sloane Howell absolutely knows how to write these boys, which makes me wonder - is he one himself? ;)
Bad Boy Prospect was a great story of a cocky young baseball player and his womanizing ways. The one who actually tames him? Pretty surprising. I enjoyed this novella - a little bit cheesy at the end, but when you are trying to fit so much into such a small space, you need to move fast!

First time reading this author's work and I was not a fan of the writing style. I hated male lead character and writing seemed stilted. For me, this story just didn't have any real substance, depth, or likability.
April 10, 2025
I don't think I even made it to the second chapter, nor was there a sentence with more normal words than curse words. I have no issue with swearing, I'm not getting onto a soapbox, but I do prefer writing where the story flows, not one that jarrs so frequently with the heavy use of cursing.
February 12, 2016
DNF. Not for me. By 40% of this short story you're still reading about the H having a three some with strangers, and being an asshole, just because he can. Meh. No thanks.
January 26, 2016
Holy hotness!!
This is a very naughty boy with a very naughty sex life. How ever is is a VERY hot read!
