If the Rogues were a real team, I would be their #1 fan!, Aug 28 2009
By C. Lawyer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sliding Home (Mass Market Paperback)
Kason Rhodes comes home from spring training to find Dayne Sheridan in his shower. Assuming the trailer was abandoned, and falling on hard times, she had taken residence in the trailer, to work on saving money and healing her broken heart (her fiance, a radio DJ, broke up with her on the air). Kason may play for the Rogues, but he is a Loner with a capitol L and wants her out. She has no where to go, and fights to stay.
I really enjoyed this book. The secondary story was just as interesting as Kason and Dayne's story, and I found myself again rooting for the Rogues, both on the field and off. For those of you who read and enjoyed Curveball, you see a lot of Psycho McMillan, who is my favorite of the "Bat Pack." There were more than a few laugh out loud moments (making love on poison ivy is never a good idea). I love sports romances, and have ready many many many! Kate Angell's Richmond Rogues are one of my favorites...right up there with Susan Elizabeth Phillips Chicago Stars and Dierdre Martin's New York Blades. I hope she continues to write more. They are now a definite auto buy for me.
This is a quick, fun story that will be great to read on that blessed first day of school when peace comes back to your house after a long summer of lots of noise. :)
Enjoy.

I wish Kate Angell would write faster!, Aug 31 2009

The Richmond Rogues is one of my favorite contempory romance series. I just wish that Angell would write them faster! Waiting a year is torture! Especially since every single one has been a keeper.
Sliding Home is no exception. The fourth book after Squeeze Play, Curveball, and Strike Zone. It features the moody/broody mobile-trail-home living-out-in-the-woods antisocial hero Kason Rhodes. He likes his peace, quite and solitary lifestyles until its disrupted by an unwelcome visitor. Looks like someone's been living in his trailer while he's been away at spring training. But Dayne, a tough talking tomboy, is no squatter. She found the abandoned trailer in the middle of the woods fair and square. And just to prove what a nice person she can be, she'll share some of her bulk foods and her comfort cooking with the good looking Kason. Its obvious that he's down on his luck, no money and no job. And Dayne knows exactly how that feels like. But Kason doesn't need anyone's charity. The Multimillion baseball player just likes living alone with his dog. He'll tolerate the sassy back talker until she can hitch up her stuff and leave. But soon he doesn't want her leaving. Dayne's the only person who's ever meant anything to the badass baseball player. What happens when she finds out she's been duped?
A keeper. Focuses more on a single romance than the previous books in the series, which is better IMHO. Kind hearted Dayne is an excellent foil to Kason's broody closed off nature. I enjoyed their romance though the secondary romance with Rhaden and Revelle (odd names?) is a bit lacking. All in all a great book. Light, fun and amusing romance. Good for a quick summer read. Recommended for light romance fans.

Worth waiting for, Aug 29 2009

Loved the book, picked it up the first day is was available and read it in two days. I loved Kason & Dayne's story - saw a lot of Psycho in the book, was hoping to get
caught up with Risk and Jacy's but there was very little mentioned about them. Looking forward to Sweet Spot, hate to have to wait another year - does anyone know which Rogue the story
is going to be about? If you love the sports themed books by other authors you will love this one. It's spicy, but not over the top.
