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

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!
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!
