Author
Liz Tomforde is an author of contemporary romance filled with healthy relationships and characters you can’t help but fall in love with. Beisdes being an author, Liz is also a flight attendant for an NHL team which is where she got the idea for Mile High. In 2020 when the hockey season was postponed due to the pandemic she decided to use her free time to write and I’m so glad she did.
Plot
As the first female team owner in Major League Baseball, Reese Remington has spent her entire life preparing for this role. With a sharp mind and years of experience working behind the scenes, she’s more than qualified. But the public only sees a woman in a man’s world―not the person who’s earned their place on the field. Under constant scrutiny and pressure to prove herself, Reese can’t afford distractions. Especially one that comes in the form of the team’s tempting field manager who questions her every decision.
Emmett Montgomery is a former All-Star turned coach who treats his players like family and the field like home. After years of running the team his way, the last thing he wants is a new boss, let alone one who seems ice-cold and laser-focused on business. But forced to spend long hours―and too many away games―side by side, he begins to see the fire beneath Reese’s control, the heart behind her ambition, and the unwavering determination to prove herself.
When heated banter turns into sizzling chemistry, professional boundaries blur and the spark between them becomes impossible to resist. But Reese is constantly reminded of how many people are waiting for her to fail, and the safest move is to keep Emmett at arm’s length―for the sake of the team, the season, and her career. But keeping their distance is one game neither of them can seem to win.
Quotes
“You’re my person. It took me thirty-five years to find you. I’m not letting you go.”
“How lucky am I to have found the person I love most in the place I love most.”
“I would tell them that they’re right. I’m not the right man for the job. I’m the right woman. Next question.”
“My head is here, Reese. My heart too. You’ve got the whole thing.”
My Review
The Windy City series was a top tier series for me so I knew I had to read In Her Own League as well. I fell in love with Monty in Caught Up and I somehow loved him even more after reading this book. Monty is such an amazing MMC and really sets a standard for male characters. The way he loves and cares for everyone he loves is top tier. I was obsessed with Reese’s character in this book. I love a strong female lead, especially one ruling a male dominated field. I was a little worried how they would play off Reese being with one of her employees with all the scrutiny she gets for simply being a women but I loved how they settled it in the end. This book was perfect to end this series and I can’t wait for more of this world in the Wilder Woods series. I rate this book 5/5 stars. If you love baseball romance, forced proximity, and age gap romances then you’ll love this book.
And that’s the end of my In Her Own League by Liz Tomforde book review. If you read this book let me know in the comments and if you loved it as much as I did. If you’re looking for other books to read check out these reviews: Face Off, Rules For The Summer, and Not That Kind Of Proposal.
