"Sportscaster 'Plain Jane' Alexander was a late bloomer. Back in the day, she blended into the background, content to watch from the sidelines while Grayson Pierce soaked up the spotlight. Content until he broke her heart. Bitter, hurt and angry Jane did the college thing, came out of her shell, and never looked back. Grayson loves baseball. It was his pastime in high school, his passion in college, and now ... his career. However baseball isn't the only thing in Grayson's heart. The problem is that Grayson has the reputation as a bad-boy. He likes fast cars and loose women and expensive liquor. All things that make him deplorable in Jane's eyes, throw in his hot and cold attitude and she is ready to scream. When the promise of an exclusive interview brings a very reluctant Jane to Grayson's home, she realizes that not everything is as it appears. "
MY REVIEW:
In It To Win It by Morgan Kearns
is a great adult romance. Grayson is a professional baseball player with a bad
reputation. Jane Alexander is a sports newscaster at KHb-Salt Lake, the same place Kate and Rich worked
in Fade to Black. In fact, a lot of
the characters from Fade to Black
make a guest appearance in this novel.
Jane and Grayson have history. They had feelings for one another
in high school, but somewhere along the way things went bad. In It To Win It begins 15 years later
when Jane’s news assignment is to follow Grayson’s baseball team during
playoffs. When they see each other for the first time after 15 years sparks,
tempers and emotions fly.
I started In It To Win It directly
after Fade to Black, and I would
recommend the same thing to readers. Fade
to Black was an intense and emotional romance. In It To Win It was a lighter, sweeter romance. In my opinion, it
was exactly what I needed following a more intense novel.
Like I have said before, I am not easily shocked! Well, In It To Win It definitely surprised the
heck out of me. I was reading along and then I was like, “No freaking way! I
didn’t see that coming!” Which is one of my favorite things!!
The only thing that bugged me in this novel was Jane’s character.
In the beginning of this novel, she was really emotional and rude, but she does
make up for it in the end. Also, a lot of Jane and Grayson’s problems could
have been avoided with a little communication.
I gave In It To Win It by
Morgan Kearns 4 STARS (3.5 STARS). I recommend this novel to adults looking for
a sweet romance with some twists. I strongly recommend this novel to adults who
have read and enjoyed Fade to Black.
