Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the spring and summer months, Melody Carrick lives, eats and sleeps baseball. As a Baltimore Blue Birds season ticket holder, she attends every home game to enjoy the action. What Melody didn't expect was to become part of the excitement when a foul ball hits her in the face and knocks her out during the season opener. Injuring a fan during his first game in the majors is rookie Carson Lawrence's worst nightmare. Knowing he won't be able to clear his conscious until he's assured she's not seriously hurt, he visits the woman in the hospital. The last thing Carson expects when he walks into her room is to be attracted to a young, beautiful woman named Melody. Carson and Melody quickly realize there is undeniable chemistry between them, no matter how hard they try to ignore it. Carson gives in to his strict "no dating" rule during baseball season and Melody allows Carson into her private world. Falling hard and fast, everything is seemingly perfect until a piece of Carson's past blindsides the couple. Devastated, Melody must decide if their love is enough to move forward or if she'll only resent Carson for the rest of her life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People rarely catch me off guard. I'm Collin St. James, the starting wide receiver for the Virginia Thunder, and playing football has kept me on my toes. But nothing could have prepared me to mentor our newest teammate, kicker Charlie Nicholson. I wasn't caught off guard because I had to take someone under my wing, or because Charlie was easily banging sixty-yard kicks through the uprights. It happened when the rookie's silver helmet came off and long blonde hair spilled out. Completely baffled, I edged closer and took in the prettiest blue eyes I'd ever seen. Charlie wasn't only a complete knockout, she was also my younger sister's closest friend, and when she smiled at me, I knew right then and there I was in serious trouble. The last thing I needed was a distraction, but thanks to my gorgeous new teammate-and, to my surprise, my roommate-that was exactly what I got.

Download or read book Falling Hard written by Chris Jones and published by House of Anansi. This book was released on 2001 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Falling Hard: A Rookie's Year in Boxing, Chris Jones recounts his first year at ringside. He gets dressed down by Don King, gambles his way through Vegas, meets the troubled guy who found Evander Holyfield's ear, goes to Muhammad Ali's birthday party, and witnesses Prince Naseem Hamed explode while Mike Tyson implodes. Like the sport itself, Falling Hard is equal measures of victory and defeat — an intoxicating combination that leaves Jones down for the count more than once. Determined to stay objective, he instead becomes addicted to boxing's special brand of pain, and what begins as a simple curiosity soon escalates into an unhealthy obsession. Jones writes with the rhythm of the sport he covers: hard and fast, with the drama of fiction but the truth of journalism. Sometimes humorous, always suspenseful, Falling Hard is a travelogue for the fight game, boxing distilled to its essence by sportswriting's newest star.
