Love from Left Field by Megan Ryder

4.0

Love from left field is the second book in the Knight Of Passion series and it can be read as a standalone. I really enjoyed this book and I connected with Miranda and Lucas. When I was done reading the first book I knew that Megan Ryder has talent and she proved it once again in Love From Left Field.

Miranda is president of the Georgia Knights (a baseball team based In Georgia). Her father, Seamus Callahan, is the owner of the team and he likes to have things done its way. She is trying to make her father proud but she has to deal with the fact that her father is not listening to anybody but himself. They are going through some financial struggle and Lucas Wainwright is coming on board to see what can be done to save the team. To make matter worst, Lucas’s father was the previous owner of the team and he is feeling that Seamus stole it from its family. On the other hand, Lucas and Miranda are feeling a deep connexion and a physical attraction that can’t be denied. Then, Seamus has a heart attack and Miranda must do some needed change in the Georgia Knights, she knows that her father won’t be happy about it but she has to do it to save the team and to prove to herself that she can make it.

What I really like about Miranda is her strength. She is able to step up when she needed to and knows that she has to work on the relationship with her father. He is not an easy person to be around and it is hard to gain his trust. Even though her father is not perfect, she loves him dearly. I love how the author is exploring that father/daughter relationship and to see Miranda finally break free from her father control. Lucas and Miranda are working together professionally and decided to date. Then again, it is not an easy relationship. The fact that Lucas and Seamus are not liking each other is a recipe for disaster.

Lucas Wainwright is all about business and work. Even though he is attracted to Miranda, he doesn’t want it to come in the way of the task he has to do. That is until he decided to kiss her, from that moment on, nothing was the same. He is a guy that is down to earth and he is not looking for love. He is travelling a lot and has no place that he can call home. While growing up he always had a crush on Miranda, they never dated but the attraction was already there. Seeing her again set a lot of emotions free, some that he never wanted to deal with. He decided to man up and get to the bottom of the story. Sometimes our perception can play a trick on us.

This is an excellent book, this is not just about baseball it is about love and a reminder to be true to who we are.
