Book five of Feeling the Heat
Katherine Whitton doesn't purposely avoid men and relationships, but she doesn't mind that side effect of immersing herself in her job with the San Francisco Blaze. Years ago she was betrayed by her one true love, and she's never fully recovered, though she's tried by building a new life in a city she loves.
It's taken seventeen years for Tom Morgan to get over Katie—Katherine now. Sober now and faced with the incredible opportunity to manage the Blaze, he thinks he'll finally be able to handle working with this beautiful woman without falling to pieces…as long as she doesn't get too close.
A crisis with the team's star pitcher forces Tom and Katherine to put in long hours together. Years of animosity melt away as the sexual tension between them ignites. But it'll take more than scorching kisses to avoid the wreckage of the past. And neither Tom nor Katie are sure they're ready to trust each other or risk their hearts for a second chance at happiness.
Read The Winning Season and Catching Heat for more stories about the San Francisco Blaze.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Stealing Second by Alison Packard By Heather B. - Reviewer at Smut Matters 3.5 StarsI like second chance romances. They're not my catnip; I don't love them, but I like them. I know some people think that there's a reason a couple broke up in the first place, but I think in cases like this, enough time has passed where the characters are different people at a very different point in their lives, and it could work.Katherine (Katie) Whitton and Tom Morgan were high-school sweethearts in Dallas, TX until the very end of their senior year when they broke up and went to separate colleges. They've both moved on somewhat, had other relationships (it has been seventeen years, after all), but neither of them has ever had anything even close to that relationship since high school, has never loved anyone else like that.They each seem to blame the other for the break-up, and it becomes clear very early on that neither of them has the full story. Hurt feelings and pride kept both of them away from Dallas after that summer, so when Tom comes to work for the San Francisco Blaze, where Katherine has been working for about a decade, it's the first time they've seen each other since high school. The chemistry between them is still there, it hasn't gone anywhere. Tom is the team manager, and Katherine is the head of the public relations department, they're going to be working together a lot. There obviously needs to be a conversation about the past, but every time one of them tries to bring it up, either the other shuts it down, or a phone rings, or someone interrupts them. It isn't until they're both on a road trip with the team that they both acknowledge that it has to be talked about, possibly fought over, but gotten out in the open if they're ever going to be able to continue working together.I felt for Katherine and Tom both when they found out what had happened seventeen years ago. They both feel betrayed, rightfully so, and can't get past the time they lost together. Who knows how their lives would have turned out if they'd stayed together, but they both would have liked to have found out. They were really good together, we can see from the glimpses we get of them from the past, and the way they are with each other now. This may have been the rare high school relationship to go the distance, but they weren't able to find out.For the most part, I liked this book. Katherine does keep one secret from Tom, and when he discovers it, it's the Black Moment in the book, and he runs. I didn't love this. I don't deny him his feelings; I get why he'd be upset, but he was looking at the situation as a mid-thirties man would, not as a terrified teenage girl would. Every time Katherine tried to talk to him about it, he'd shut her out and walk away. I was as frustrated as Katherine was and don't know if I would have been as willing to keep trying. When she made it clear to them that they were done, I may have cheered a little bit. But only a little bit.This is the fifth book in a series, which I didn't realize before picking it up. It was clear that some of the couples in this one were from earlier books, so I may go back and read them. It seemed obvious who would be in some of the upcoming books, too and I think those stories will be really good, so I'll definitely move on with the series, even if I don't read the backlist. I would definitely recommend this one!

By Samantha Pereira Tom and Katherine (Katie to him since they were 14 and he doesn't plan to change it) fell in love in high school and were torn apart by lies. They never truly stopped loving one another so when when Tom began working with the same baseball team Katherine was two years ago she has to become icy to shield herself.After a few twists the two end up kissing, burning each other up, and talking about the past to realize a shocking betrayal that neither of them had anything to do with. This betrayal cost them 17 years of life together they could have had. The two give in to their attraction, their love, and decide to try again. A few more small grenades are thrown at them which threaten to rip them apart.I liked Katherine, even if she was a bit naive, because she wasn't intentionally malicious or petty. She worked hard, gave her work her all, and rallied behind the baseball players when they needed her in their corner. Tom was matched for her because he could understand things about her that she didn't understand herself.Tom was such a sweet character. Honestly, do men like him exist? If I go to Dallas, Texas, will I find a Tom Morgan? Tom is smart, an ex-professional baseball player turned manager, compassionate, territorial, loyal, and funny. Even with Katherine treating him as though she detested him, he sat next to her on the flight when she was struggling with coping. Katherine has a massive fear of flying, especially takeoff and landing, which Tom knew and he gave her a way to deal with the situation. It was easy to like Tom and even easier to fall in love with him.I began the novel during my lunch break at work and was really frustrated when I had to stop reading. It was a good story and made you believe that true love can truly conquer all. Stealing Second gets 4.5 steamy and sweet stars from me.

Tunick In the fifth (and I think final) story in this series, we are introduced to VP of Media Relations Katherine and Blaze Team Manager Tom. Both have a past that the author drips and drops along the first 50% of the story. A relationship that ended badly. The fact that now, 17 years later, they are once again working together is proving difficult, since both have unresolved feelings, but neither are ready or willing to admit it. When the pair are forced together on a road trip for the team, secrets finally come to light and Katherine and Tom realize that they still feel the same way about each other now as they did when they were teens. But can 17 years, a few misguided parental involvements, and time heal all wounds, or are they never supposed to be together?My main complaint about this book was that the author dragged along the will they or won't they plot for far too long. More than half the book should not be spent on past behaviors, especially if the author only alludes to them, and never really delves into depth with the why Katherine and Tom parted, or the secrets they've been carrying ever since. Once the pair finally did get together, the author made them work for it, and as a reader, it frustrated me. I want to see happy couples, not hot sex, then fighting, then making up, then mistrust, etc.While I'm glad that this did end on a HEA, there were still a lot of questions that weren't answered. I also think both Tom and Katherine were too forgivable to the people who had wronged them.I will say that it was nice catching up with characters from previous books in the series, but overall, I think Alison Packard is a good writer, but she needs to get to her main point a lot faster.
