The Trade: A Teammate's Sister Romantic Standalone Kindle Edition

4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 8,885 ratings

Can you pinpoint a time in your life where you realized you are completely and utterly screwed? I can.

I got the dreaded phone call, the one every baseball player hopes and prays never comes. I was traded. Yeah, that phone call. Traded from my long time team of over ten years. And not just to any team, but my childhood rivals; the Chicago Rebels.

Completely and utterly screwed, right? Wrong.

The trade was the least of my concerns.

I met a girl. Natalie. Man, she's perfect. I swore I would never get involved with anyone during the season. Too complicated. But can you believe I have zero restraint when it comes to this girl? I couldn't get her out of my head and the more I talked to her, the more I realized I needed her in my life.

So what's the problem? Why am I screwed? Because, Natalie, the girl I can't stop crushing on, yeah . . . she's married. At least, that's what I was told . . .

Corey Potter is everything!!
4 Stars
Corey Potter is everything!!
4.5 STARS!The Trade by Meghan Quinn was just so wonderful. Meghan writes the best romcoms and this book is no different. In fact, this series has consumed my heart and soul, and I'm so ready for Walker Rockwell's book next! ❤🖤Corey Potter is such an enigmatic hero that you cannot help but swoon over while reading. He's facing a monumental moment in his career. He's being traded midseason to the team that rivals his beloved Bobbies, The Rebels. Its been such a hardship for him to become apart of the new team and the fans and media do not make it easy. It's the first time ever you see a great player slowly start to lose the love of the game and it starts to take a toll on his health and well-being.Natalie Orson has just gone through a divorce that's left her devastated. Her ex-husband, Ansel, was her everything having been together since they were in middle school but his affair truly breaks her. Meeting Cory and falling for him made Natalie realize how much she was missing out on. Plus, she's exactly what Cory needs too. She becomes his constant rock and being Jason's sister, Cory's teammate, she is well aware of the ins and outs of baseball. Obviously, these two have their ups and downs and the angst is truly felt. Not going to lie, I shed some tears for their pain. There is also an age-gape element between them which made them even sexier together in my opinion. But I got to say the miscommunication that led to their downfall there for a moment was the main reason I lowered the rating to 4.5 from 5.Overall, I love these characters. I loved the chemistry and the moments between Natalie and Cory. It was sexy and sweet and utterly special. Cory Potter is everything!! Another book husband among many!

I knew that as soon as we were introduced to Cory's character that he would turn out to be one of my favorite men in this series.. And DAMN do I love him so much!

Cory is a professional baseball player, and one of the best ones in the league, and all of a sudden he is being traded to his most hated team in the middle of the season. His new teammates don't like him, the fans boo him, and the media is constantly hounding and spreading malicious lies about him and his character. He's putting on a brave face, but all of this is starting to get to him.. And then he meets the light in his now dark world.

Natalie -- Jason's sister -- is a newly divorced thanks to philandering ass of a ex husband, and thanks to the cruel remarks he made excusing his infidelity, she's riddled with insecurities. When she first meets Cory she immediately likes him, but feels that she is completely out of his league .. But the more time they spend together, the more she realizes how truly right they are for one another. Their relationship is pure, beautiful, sexy, and everything else you can think of. They fall in love with each other very quickly, but it never felt rushed or forced. It was just so magical between them.. until the stress of Cory's career has him making the biggest mistake of his life.

My heart broke for both him and Natalie, and even though I understood him to a point, I hated how long he waited to make things right. But in the end he realized just how much Natalie was the only constant, good thing in his life, and is determined to never again make her question his love for her.

Natalie is such an amazing character. She's beautiful (but doesn't know it) is down to earth, hilarious, awkward, so adorable.. And just is so true to who she is. I cried along with her when she felt insecure, because it was so damn real. I'm so, so happy that her and Cory got their happy ever after!!! I so hope we get Maddox's book, too! I'm not ready to leave this series!

Meghan is definitely one of my favorite authors, and this is a must read series!! Go one click now!

No cliffhanger
Standalone
Told from both POVs
Sports star romance

Cory is a Major League Baseball player. He is focused on his career and has decided he doesn’t want a relationship until he retires but after being unexpectedly traded and dealing with the worst season in the career he meets Natalie.

Natalie knows all about the MLB considering her brother plays in it. In fact, as of this season, he and Cory are on the same team.

Their chemistry is instant, but when Cory is told by his sister that Natalie is married he backs off. The only problem is his sister has her facts wrong. Fast forward a few months and Cory finds out she is divorced. You would think all bets would be off and he would go after what he wants right? Wrong.

I won’t give everything away but it’s safe to say it takes quite a bit of effort to get Cory to admit his feelings. When he finally does they set out on a whirlwind relationship only for him to ask for a “break” when things get really bad with his new team and his reputation.

Again, trying not to give too much away but I do wish they would have spent more time on them getting their happily ever after. That part felt rushed to me.

Overall it was still a great book, just not my favorite of the series. That goes to Jason and Dottie hands down!

To say that Meghan Quinn knows how to create such emotional stories with deep characters that you connect with is an understatement. She knows what she’s doing and she’s the best. Not only did this one have me loving the characters but I never felt such hatred for a non-existent “character” in my life than in this book. Those Rebel fans and how they treated Cory had me screaming!!! I wanted to cry for him and punch these “characters” through the pages of the book. But readers, do not fret, all is good in the end, wonderfully good! It’s a great “bend over” finish! Must read for sure!!!!

I loved this story! Cory is sensitive and warm and falls in love hard for Natalie, but he’s also struggling with his new team and their fans. Natalie is divorced from her cheating husband and looking for a fling but finds love instead. Jason (Natalie’s brother) is perfectly ridiculous and lovable as a wingman/teammate. I just felt myself rooting for Nat and Cory to find their way to each other and then back to each other. A perfect vacation read with just enough spice and plenty of swoon. 2 peppers

I didn’t like this story. First, it was too slow then we went fast but come on, how do you forgive that so easily especially after that long? Nope. I’m not convinced, not one bit.

Reviewed in Brazil on November 28, 2020
A classical story of Meghan Quinn. Stunning couple, full of funny and cute moments and that break up that we already wait for ( and I particularly hate..) and that is it, this is the reason for four stars. The book is unique but also predictable.
