Kate McMurray's Greatest Hits Bundle
Don't miss these reader favorites from Kate McMurray!
In Blind Items, Jonathan is too afraid to step out of the closet, and Drew thinks the smartest thing might be to let him go—until Jonathan shows up drunk one night at his apartment. The slow burn of their attraction doesn’t fade with Jonathan's buzz, but navigating a relationship is never easy—especially in the shadow of right-wing politics.
In Four Corners, after five years gone, Adam is back, and he has his mind set on Jake. But those years of anger, hurt, and confusion are a lot to overcome, and Jake doesn’t find it easy to forgive.
In The Stars The Tremble, Mike’s partner was killed when Emma was a toddler, and Gio mourns the beautiful voice he will never have again, so coping with loss is something they have in common. Their initial physical attraction quickly grows to something more as each hopes to fill the gap that loss and grief has left in his life.
In When the Planets Align, quiet, practical Simon realizes he’s been in love with Michael all his life, only now Michael has moved on. They will find themselves in the right place at the right time to take the next step.
In The Windup, Ian lets an old friend talk him into joining the Rainbow League, New York’s LGBT amateur baseball league. Baseball turns out to be a great outlet for his anxiety, and not only because sexy teammate Ty has caught his eye. But when Ian receives an offer for a job overseas, Ty needs a new plan: convince Ian that home is where Ty is.

A solid 3.5 stars. Dreamspinner Press released the Kate McMurray Greatest Hits bundle on April 1, 2016 - just in time for the baseball season. It's a perfect match since McMurray uses a baseball backdrop for many of her books - two in this bundle (Four Corners and The Windup) as well as the stellar Out in the Field. Another McMurray hallmark is close relationships with best friends since childhood (Rey and Drew in Blind Items, Four Corners, When the Planets Align, and Nate and Carlos in The Windup) and how those relationships sometimes turn into the love of a lifetime.
I'd done a short review of each book in the bundle along with a rating, and my rating for the bundle is a solid 3.5 stars, which would have been 4 stars, except for "When the Planets Align" which brought down the curve a bit. Also, as noted "The Windup" is a good opening book for her latest series, and with a solid cast of characters and the baseball theme which McMurray does so well, I have high hopes for the remainder of the books in the Rainbow League series.
