The Pitcher's Assistant

Rate this book
It’s Pippa’s first day of her dream job—a major league baseball sports reporter. When she finds herself facing a sea of half-dressed athletes, her innocence gets the better of her and she clams up, leading to a public lecture from her boss. She never could have anticipated Cort Mulloy, legendary pitcher, to step in, defend her…and offer her an exclusive interview. There’s one catch, though. For every three questions she asks the mysterious, blue-eyed loner, she’ll have to surrender a little more to his possessive touch. Anything to get the biggest story of the year, right? Who knew she could fall for him so fast? Pippa isn’t the only one falling, though, and Cort has plans to keep Pippa in his life well past the ninth inning…

Good news for my daddy kink lovers out there tho!
“I’ll launch your career as a reporter. But so help me God, I want between your legs for it, little girl.”

“Turn around. Get the panties off and settle that ass right in Daddy’s lap.”


me @ daddy kink:


no, i didn’t rate this low bc of the daddy kink. in fact, it was honestly not that bad, but what fell short for me was that it felt i was reading...nothing?? after reading it, the story just diffused from my head. maybe bc this novella is much more tamed than her other novellas?? i don’t know how to explain it but i can confirm that i didn’t feel the connection and sexual tension between the characters like in JK’s other novellas.

how is this 70+ pages long and yet i was more invested in JK’s 50+ pages novella—Daddy’s Worst Nightmare? 🤔

5 “You are hope and magic, Pippa” stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

”Pippa,” I repeat, letting the name settle into my bones. “Am I scaring you?”
“A little,” she whispers, her sweet breath pelting my mouth.


Jessa Kane... you are magic for me. Every time I read your little novellas, the more I fall in love with your smutty yet sweet writing. The moment I see you have new book coming out, I don’t waste one second in reading it. Also it’s been a while since I read one of her books so this came to my attention at a perfect time. I wasn’t really a fan of insta-love before but because of this author I have started to crave them now obsessively.

”If I’m going to report on baseball, I’ll need to grow accustomed to a little m-male nudity.”
Cort steps closer and his scent reaches me. Minty soap and fresh-cut grass. “You won’t be growing accustomed to it,” he rasps.


Cort and Pippa were made for each other from the start. From the first moment there intense chemistry could be felt and only drew them closer. Cort stole my heart when he showed his possessive from the very first time and he did it quite well. And who knew taking interviews of hot sexy sportsmen could be this sexy and with an orgasm as a bonus.

”For every three questions I answer, we give you an orgasm.”
The steam curls around her beautiful face. “But I have a lot of questions.”
“Then I guess your thighs are going to be sore from shaking, little girl.”
Just like earlier, she melts when I call her that name, her mouth turning even rosier.


It wasn’t just his possessive that sealed the deal for me, it was his heart and the man he was that made me fall for him and also Pippa. Other thing I adored about him was how he went from saying sweet nothings to a dirty-talking daddy. Just like Pippa, he made me just as flushed and a bushing mess.

”Turn around. Get the panties off and settle that ass right in Daddy’s lap.”
Her gasp can probably be heard from the driveway. “What did you call yourself?”
I reach into her hair and take a fistful, tugging her head back and pressing my teeth to her throat. “You heard exactly what I said. You can pretend to be scandalized by it if you want, Pippa, but that one word made your thighs shake around my hips. Kind of like being called my little girl made your pussy wet.”


Pippa was exactly the kind of heroine I have come to expect from Jessa. She was nerdy, super sweet, sassy, ambitious with a big heart. No wonder Cort couldn’t get enough of him and worshipped the ground she walked on. If only I could find a man like him.

Their story also didn’t lack any steam in the bedroom or basically everywhere they could get their hands on each other. It was downright filthy, smoking hot and the best kind of dirty talk. I just loved it.

Almost shyly, she bites her lip. “You like me like me.”
“Like you?” I push her down onto the bed and climb on top of her luscious body, my beast out of its cage. “Pippa, I’m in love with you.”


The epilogue had me so happy for them and it was the perfect ending. If you guys still haven’t read Jessa Kane, then what the hell are you waiting for.

"They called it a slump, but I was lost until she came into the locker room and pulled me out of the darkness, gave me hope."
I don't really like novellas because everything always seems so rushed to me, but I read the blurb on Instagram and decided to get this. Good timing, as I'd just received an Amazon Gift Card for Christmas.
This book is a very solid 4.5 for me. I wouldn't mind being kidnapped by Cort... at all. *grin*

"It’s more than his appearance that affects me, though. It’s the fact that… I know this man."
Cort is a famous athlete who doesn't share much about his personal life, and who's going through a slump at the moment. We don't get much about him until both characters get together, and I loved that. I loved that the readers are getting to know him at the same time the heroine is.

"I was made for this girl. I knew it the second I laid eyes on her."
Pippa is a virgin, and an innocent one. She wants to be a sports reporter but the first time she enters a locker room after the game is... awkward, to say the least. And then her eyes fall on the gorgeous, hot Cort Mulloy and her life changes.

"I’m pretty sure I’m cross-eyed from the building need inside of me."
There were a couple of moment when I was actually laughing out loud. Both characters together are incredible and there's a genuine chemistry between the two. Don't get me started on the steamier parts of this story because they were red hot and very well written.

"This is where we prefer to be. In each other’s arms, where everything feels right."
Even though it's a short book, there was character development here, and I loved both characters. Cort needed someone who'd tear down his barriers, and Pippa needed someone who really wanted and needed her in his life. The ending is all sorts of sweet.

I'm keeping an eye on this author from now on.

3.5 ⭐

Fast pace and okay and steamy.

Pippa is a new intern at her new job as a baseball reporter and she is well a super pure snow bunny never seen men naked, shirtless nothing so she is shocked when she's in the men's locker room and is called out getting embarrassed by her boss.. but is saved by Cort a baseball Pitcher star!! The one everyone wants a interview with. And he is very private about his personal life.

Hes already smitten with her and shes now his assistant he told her he can ask anything and with each question he would give her a orgams.. its steamy and Cort does have a tiny moment hoping she does love jim and not for the interview.

No ow/om drama, no cheating, Sexy times, virgin gal and no manwhore

The Pitcher's Assistant by Jessa Kane ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

HERO - Cort Mulloy. Pro baseball player, specifically a legendary pitcher. Tall, broad-shouldered, and muscular with black hair and blue eyes.

HEROINE - Pippa Winestock. Sports journalism intern. Has dark hair and chocolate-brown eyes with green flecks.

OVERALL THOUGHTS - I really enjoyed it and have no complaints. One thing I can always commend JK for is that while she usually writes very short novellas, she never really wastes space on unimportant things. Every scene and every sentence drives the story forward in some way whether it be character development, relationship development, or plot development. In this case, while this story is very brief (six chapters and an epilogue), it wasn’t really missing anything either.

Our heroine is Pippa and the story opens with her first day on the job. She walks into the baseball players’ locker room as a sports journalist (well, an intern anyway) and walks out as the personal assistant of the most well-known, yet mysterious, player on the team. I really liked her - she’s the old-fashioned sort and the Murder, She Wrote reference got me. I can relate so hard. LOL

Our hero is Cort and he basically falls for Pippa at first sight and is willing to sacrifice his well-guarded privacy to keep her close to him. He offers her an exclusive interview, something he never does, in exchange for letting him give her pleasure. It’s a win-win, really!

This is another one of JK’s device-melting reads and the kink of choice this go-round is of the “daddy” variety. No age play, just the words, so if you want to dip a toe, this is a good option. If daddy kink is a hard no, I’d say pass on this one. Despite the focus on the erotic side, JK still manages to make their love believable with their matching interest in baseball, Pippa’s big heart, and Cort’s encouragement of her.

Spoilers ahead


Pippa has ambitions of being a sports journalist and snags an assistant position to a veteran. On her first day she goes with her new boss to the changing room of the baseball team and stumbles up on naked men, she's as innocent and pure as fresh fallen snow so she's NEVER even seen a weiner. The H of course is a big bad legendary pitcher and takes his little girl under his wings.

I'm a simple person and when Jessa Kane writes an obsessive athletic love interest, I know I'm going to love it. Not only did she give me an insta-love that was really spicy, but she also gave me daddy kink. I loved it and I can't wait for her next release!

The FMC’s innocence was sometimes a little over the top or exaggerated, and the insta-everything was so real, but overall
OK with good spice and a corny but cute ending!

it’s a 4.5 for me.

I liked this one a lot though it wasn’t my favorite Jessa Kane. I feel like this must be an older story, it’s like she hasn’t QUITE hit her stride. Still it was a fun quick read with an obsessed hero and naive heroine. You know, what we all come here for.

JK at her tamest~ 😂

(more like 3.5, but I'm in a good mood, so~~)

This ended up being a pretty good read after I got to the last half of the story.

Colt is a pitcher and Pippa is an intern for a well-known journalist. Her dream is to report on baseball. But when she walks into the locker room for the first time and Colt sees her? He’s instantly obsessed and basically demands that she work for him now. Hah. She’s an innocent little virgin who has never been with a man, never really been interested in sex or even masturbating herself so she’s naive. But as per usual with these books, it seems.

Anyway, Colt kinda pissed me off at first when he was like...
“I’ll launch your career as a reporter. But so help me God, I want between your legs for it, little girl.”

This was right after meeting her. And she goes along with it...

But it works out in the end. Colt just wanted to love her so I kinda forgave him for his crude-ness at the beginning.

There was some Daddy / little girl talk which I’m all for. Yes plzzzz.

Overall, cute story. 3.75⭐️

Pippa ha amado el béisbol desde la primera vez que su padre la llevó a un partido. Así que como a ella los deportes no se le dan bien, hizo lo más cercano a ello: periodista deportiva. Ahora, en su primer día de trabajo está emocionada... Hasta que se encuentra en un vestuario lleno de hombres semidesnudos y con su jefe el idiota. Pero pronto uno de los jugadores sale en su defensa y no será momentáneo como ella creía.

Me ha encantado! Dios como amo a Jessa y como me gusta terminar mis últimas lecturas del año con ella en la lista. No tengo que explicaros como son ya sabéis cortitos y al grano. Lo mejor para pasar un rato rápido!
