Mustangs Baseball #6
Strike Out
1st Place - Erotic Novel - 2015 International Digital Awards contest.
Royce “Strikeout” Stryker needs to get his game back before he’s out of the game altogether. From the moment he sees Dr. Tricia Reed, keeping his hands to himself becomes a problem, especially since part of the reason he’s been designated as a guinea pig for her research project is to gather information that might be used to shut her down. A computer program that could change baseball forever might be the ticket to his comeback—or could it be the sexy scientist running the project who holds the key to his future?
Tricia has staked everything she has—her money, her reputation and her future—on a computer program that, if proven, could change the lives of millions suffering from catastrophic injuries. Falling for the sexy pitcher she’s trying to help can only lead to disaster for both of them, but keeping a professional distance from Royce Stryker proves to be impossible. Could one indiscretion hold the answer to his problems and be the ruin of them both?

When the team decides to bring in Dr. Tricia Reed to aid Royce in figuring out just what is going wrong it is more than just her electrodes that hook up.

I love Texas, and as the home of Roz Lee’s Mustangs Baseball team, it’s where I want to be.
With so many talented, hard-bodied, uber sexy athletes in one place, what more could a girl want? Well other than one of my own (“swoon”).
STRIKE OUT is book 6 in the series and continues the plight of the boys from Texas and the predicaments they face as professional sportsmen.
Royce is your typical gorgeous male, but he is in a performance slump since the divorce from his high school sweetheart. His career is on the line, but that doesn't mean he's happy being relegated to the status of guinea pig to find his mojo.
Tricia is a perky waif; with a university degree and desperate to prove her computer program works, not only her livelihood but also her reputation lies in the balance. But if all goes to plan, she will successfully determine what Royce's problem is and prove her competence in the eyes of her peers.
So imagine a mostly naked, 6-foot plus virile male, a woman who is definitely not blind, and a whole lot of physical contact with electrodes and body parts, and you’ve got a combustible environment.
For this pitcher, striking out was never an option!

Star pitcher for the Dallas Mustangs, Royce “Strike Out” Stryker has been in a serious pitching slump since his divorce. He’s trying hard to regain what he’s lost, but so far nothing has worked.
He’s assigned to be a research subject for an expert in neuro biology who is working with the team for a month. It’s a long shot, but the team manager hopes maybe the expert can help him out of the slump.
The expert is Dr.Tricia Reed, and when Royce shows up for his first appointment, the chemistry between them is instant and powerful. Sexual sparks quickly ignite into full blown passion. The sex is red hot, sometimes in risky places, and a bit of mild kink added in makes it even steamier. But the relationship puts their professional careers in jeopardy.
To make matters worse, Tricia sees Royce with another woman. It confirms her suspicion that she was never more than a convenient sexual diversion for him.
Can Royce and Tricia overcome all these obstacles to find a happy ending? You’ll have to read this home run hit by Roz Lee to find out.

This book started out a little slow for me but once it got going it was good. In a slump Royce is used as a guinea pig & a spy for management for a new computer program to help athletes return to their top form of play. Dr. Tricia Reed is a young, genius of a woman. Graduating from school at a very young age she holds degrees in many things but Physiology is where she's working. Working with athletes has never been a problem for her until Royce, he makes her feel things she's never felt before & Royce is just getting over a divorce from his high school sweetheart, which he feels is the problem for his slump. Things move at lightening speed between Tricia & Royce & they find themselves in a situation that could ruin both of their careers if they're found out. Feelings aren't spoken & feelings are hurt when Tricia sees Royce with another woman. Has all they had been just a trick? Did any of it mean anything? Definitely love this series.

Take one major league pitcher in a slump, one cute Ph.D on a research mission, add some sizzling chemistry and you get Roz Lee's STRIKE OUT. I'm a huge baseball fan and know way more about the sport than some. I tend to shy away from sports romances because I have a thing about accuracy. That was not a problem with this book. I thoroughly enjoyed the baseball, the hot sexy bits, and I was rooting not only for the hero Royce Stryker, to find his mojo but for him to find his HEA with Dr. Tricia Reed. While certain parts of this erotic romance might make a reader squirm, it's not over the top. 4.5 starsDisclaimer: This book won 1st place in the International Digital Awards Erotic Novel category. I was provided a copy and asked to read and provide a fair review it as part of the contest.

I liked it. Not a fan of baseball, but I still enjoyed this blend of sweet and sensual chemistry between Royce and Tricia. It was a short read, and I did wish for more time with the characters. The overall book moved at a fast pace, and while the sex scenes did not scorch my ereader, they were very steamy with a very sweet undertone of need that made for a light but good erotic read.
