Fielder's Choice (#3 in the Heart of the Gme series) Giveaway ends on May 30th!
Dearest Amazing Readers- just a tickler to say that the Giveaway for FIELDER'S CHOICE end soon! Hop in. And book #4, LOVE ON THE LINE is out now! Available at all your favorite on-line bookstores as ebook and print http://bit.ly/PAares
Thanks for all the early reviews and comments telling me how much you love Cara and Ryan's story -- means so much!
Here's a recap:
LOVE ON THE LINE
Book Four in the Heart of the Game Series
Hiding her identity was a small price to pay for freedom . . .
Heiress Cara Barrington fled the opulent world of her rich and famous family to carve out an idyllic existence on the California Coast. In the sleepy town of Albion Bay, she’s embraced the simple way of living she's always craved. No one knows her identity, and she’s free from the pressures of wealth . . . until her sexy new neighbor threatens the unpretentious world she’s worked so hard to build.
All-Star athlete Ryan Rea enjoys his high-profile status. He’s used to charming his way into the heart and bed of any woman he desires while keeping his own heart secure behind a steel wall. When he meets Cara, she throws him a curveball—she’s unlike any woman he’s ever met, and he has to have her.
Cara’s growing attraction to Ryan endangers her hard-won anonymity, and when she inherits the family business, she must choose between the world she left behind and her new life in the community she’s come to cherish. But facing up to her responsibilities could destroy her freedom and cost her the greatest love she’s ever known.

Romance, Courage and Transformation!
One of the most powerful moments in a great love story is the moment when the heroine or hero has the courage to face the fear that has been holding them back from fully living— and stepping into love. Romance stories are stories of courage and transformation.
Why is courage the key to love? Because in order to love fully, a character (or any person) has to be willing to give up a carefully constructed persona; the “self” they have constructed to protect them from pain. To strip away their emotional armor, and dare to become the person they would be if they were not held back by fear.
Stepping into the truth of who we would be if our fears did not hold us back is scary. For most of us, our outer persona has been carefully crafted to keep us from facing pain and wounds from our past. We step forward, feel pain and then retreat, and it is only the call of the other that pulls us toward wholeness, the power of desire, the power of love.
What’s courage and love got to do with baseball?
Courage and love are at the Heart of the Game! Athletes face fear of failure every day. Every day they test their love of the game against their skills, endurance and courage. And for the best of them, they face their challenges and fear in a very public arena: each step forward or back is taken within the community of the game. There’s a power that flows in the community of baseball, and, I would say, there’s a thread of optimism. Fans want players they love to do well.
Players that channel that power and move through their limitations and fears improve their performance and excel. In the first two books of my series, the Heart of the Game, you travel behind the scenes of the game and get to know the truly heroic effort that players make on the field. Alex Tavonesi, the hero of Love Bats Last, and Scotty Donovan, the hero of Thrown by Love (coming March 11th), provide a provocative, enthralling taste of major league action and its challenges..
Let the games begin! The MLB season opens in Australia!
The 2014 Cactus League games will begin on Wednesday, February 26th with three games, highlighted by the Los Angeles Dodgers visiting the Arizona Diamondbacks at Salt River Fields in a preview of Opening Series Sydney 2014. The first full slate of games involving all 30 Major League Clubs will take place on Friday, February 28th.
The Dodgers and the D-backs will depart for Australia following their Cactus League games on Sunday, March 16th. Major League Baseball will open its regular season in Australia for the first time when the two teams participate in Opening Series Sydney 2014, a two-game set scheduled for March 22nd and 23rd at the historic Sydney Cricket Ground. We’re talking baseball in Australia here folks. I’m excited for my readers who live there and will get to attend the games.
So, as you get ready for your own spring activities, ask yourself: What might I do if I faced up to some aspect of my life that frightens me and holds me back, something that keeps me from living life as I dream it?
The men of baseball show us that having the courage to face our fears is doable. Taking steps toward the life we dream of can lead us to the life we were meant to live; to the person we were meant to be. So bring on spring, bring on the games, bring on the players we’ve missed over the long, dark days of winter! So, let the games begin!
pa book1 lovebatslast medium 200x300 Courage, Romance and Sports—Oh My!Love Bats Last by Pamela Aares is the first book in the Heart of the Game series. Thrown By Love, #2 will be released on March 11, 2014. To learn more about the new series visit PamelaAares.com.
