| Hit and Run Book 1 |
Get a personal chef, they said. It’ll be fun, they said.
And then Thierry shows up and Pietro realizes his mistake. Because he knows Thierry. A little too well.
Thierry is the man who told his ex to leave him.
Thierry is the man who punched Pietro and ran.
Thierry... is his ex-boyfriend’s best friend.
But Pietro also knows the man needs a job. An injury destroyed his former career and Pietro is nothing if not a bleeding heart. Besides, he doesn’t have time to search for a new chef, not with the World Series looming and his team ready to go all the way.
Life gets more complicated, though, when he and Thierry cross a line one night after a lot of wine and several bad jokes. And while hooking up is one thing, Pietro knows the last thing in the world he needs is for his heart to get involved.
Too bad it tends to make decisions without him.
Switch-Hitter is the first book in a fictional MLB series featuring a lonely baseball player with a chip on his shoulder and hope in his heart, a team ready to win no matter what it takes, a grumpy French chef who will defend escargot to the death, and a few bottles of dry red wine leading to the sweetest happily ever after. Each book in the Hit and Run Series stands alone, contains no cheating, and has a happily ever after.

My Review: 3.5/5 Stars
Pietro is in desperate need of a personal chef. His career as a professional baseball player keeps him very busy and add in his ADHD, cooking just has never truly worked for him. So he puts in a desperate request and finally gets a reply. He just never expected the man to show up at his door to be his ex’s best friend. The same guy who punched him in the face after said ex told him to do for a lie to make the ex feel better about himself. Talk about awkward. Thierry’s life as a bodyguard is finished when he gets hurt badly on the job. His life will never be the same and because of that, he at least gets a chance to make a go at a profession he actually wanted. A chef. But it isn’t easy when your body can’t always corporate with you. And when he gets an interview and finds out it is for Pietro, he can’t believe it. Especially when Pietro wants to hire him. It may start off rocky between them, but it also gives them a chance to actually get to know one another without the toxicity of their mutual acquaintance. And in doing so, it may be the best thing for them. A pretty good story overall. I enjoyed getting to know Pietro and Thierry as they fell for one another.
