The fight is on！ In one corner stands Lincoln， prideful and swaggering after becoming a World Series Champion。 In the other corner stands Dee， fierce contender in the UFC circuit。 Both have confidence deeply ingrained into their bones。 And both have the desire to be footloose and fancy。 But a one night stand， no strings attached， is just what they want。 Until。。。 and that is when the sparks fly， the chemistry ignites， and the battle for the heart begins。

Just wowLinc has always been a ladies man， but he has as some hidden qualities。 Diana has always been more a tomboy and thinks no one sees her softer side。 Linc sees Diana for Diana even if she's to afraid to admit it！ These two do more than heat up the sheets and pick at each other！ They are spellbinding when they find there way thru there own personal baggage。 Just wowLinc has always been a ladies man， but he has as some hidden qualities。 Diana has always been more a tomboy and thinks no one sees her softer side。 Linc sees Diana for Diana even if she's to afraid to admit it！ These two do more than heat up the sheets and pick at each other！ They are spellbinding when they find there way thru there own personal baggage。 。。。more

I recieved Strike Zone as a free ARC and was impressed。 I'm giving it 4 stars mainly cause I could barely handle how cruel Dee was but stuck through。 Yes she redeems herself but it's the suffering thrift it part where I almost put the book down。 I love a strong bad as crap FMC but not like this。 Definitely liked it but don't know if I loved it。 It's not everyone's cup of tea so I definitely recommend reading it before you make the assumption not to read it。 I recieved Strike Zone as a free ARC and was impressed。 I'm giving it 4 stars mainly cause I could barely handle how cruel Dee was but stuck through。 Yes she redeems herself but it's the suffering thrift it part where I almost put the book down。 I love a strong bad as crap FMC but not like this。 Definitely liked it but don't know if I loved it。 It's not everyone's cup of tea so I definitely recommend reading it before you make the assumption not to read it。 。。。more

This is the fourth book in this amazing series and is Lincoln and Diana / Dee’s story。 Linc is a top striker in a major league baseball team， and is a world series champion， while Dee is an MMA fighter。 I was a bit conflicted as how this story would pan out going by the love / hate relationship and back and forth between these two characters， but all ended well。 The chemistry between these two is intense and undeniable。 This is a well written story which has angst， emotions， tension， humor， witt This is the fourth book in this amazing series and is Lincoln and Diana / Dee’s story。 Linc is a top striker in a major league baseball team， and is a world series champion， while Dee is an MMA fighter。 I was a bit conflicted as how this story would pan out going by the love / hate relationship and back and forth between these two characters， but all ended well。 The chemistry between these two is intense and undeniable。 This is a well written story which has angst， emotions， tension， humor， witty banter， intrigue， and love， which leads to an entertaining page turner。 I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend。 。。。more

Strike Zone is the delectable follow-up to Screwball。 Linc， the best friend of Anders from Screwball， is smitten with Diana， the sister of Brooke from the same book。 Diana is coming off disillusionment and has a lot of anger with other baggage she's been hauling around。 Linc， for all his bravado， has his baggage that he's kept hidden since he was a teenager。 Oh， did I mention Diana is a champion MMA fighter？ She's so cool。When these two meet， the sparks fly， but baggage， anger， and walls make th Strike Zone is the delectable follow-up to Screwball。 Linc， the best friend of Anders from Screwball， is smitten with Diana， the sister of Brooke from the same book。 Diana is coming off disillusionment and has a lot of anger with other baggage she's been hauling around。 Linc， for all his bravado， has his baggage that he's kept hidden since he was a teenager。 Oh， did I mention Diana is a champion MMA fighter？ She's so cool。When these two meet， the sparks fly， but baggage， anger， and walls make the relationship rocky at best， more like a minefield。 However， life （and romantic comedies） throw wrenches in these relationships， and we get to experience all the good stuff。 These situations are where Eva shines as a writer in her romantic comedies。 She manages to write engaging scenes with likable characters you would like as your friends。 She doesn't write perfect characters as she allows you to see them grow to become their best （or better） selves to fall in love and get to the lovely HEA。 Strike Zone is a fun-filled romp with characters you enjoy getting to know who has a way with dialogue you can enjoy。 If you have read Screwball， you need to read Strike Zone。 Or read them both--it's a fun-filled time！ 。。。more

Dee and Linc will keep you laughing。 They have this nearly combustible chemistry but go out of their way to annoy each other。 Yet they can't avoid one another because his best friend is married to her sister。 This might be an enemies with benefits type story。 Love that Linc tries to show his sweeter side to Dee。 There were parts of the story that she just wasn't very likable but it was nice to see her start to mature and find her way。 I think this is my favorite in the series so far！ Dee and Linc will keep you laughing。 They have this nearly combustible chemistry but go out of their way to annoy each other。 Yet they can't avoid one another because his best friend is married to her sister。 This might be an enemies with benefits type story。 Love that Linc tries to show his sweeter side to Dee。 There were parts of the story that she just wasn't very likable but it was nice to see her start to mature and find her way。 I think this is my favorite in the series so far！ 。。。more

I just have to say I have really enjoyed all of Eva’s books that I’ve read but this series is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE！I love Dee and Linc。 They just have that love/hate relationship。 Dee doesn’t have the best personality but she does grow on you after a bit。 One of my absolute favorite tropes are in this book and I can’t even talk about it because I don’t want to bring up any spoilers。I’m glad that we get to keep reading about past characters in each book。 I am looking forward to more Hall of Fame I just have to say I have really enjoyed all of Eva’s books that I’ve read but this series is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE！I love Dee and Linc。 They just have that love/hate relationship。 Dee doesn’t have the best personality but she does grow on you after a bit。 One of my absolute favorite tropes are in this book and I can’t even talk about it because I don’t want to bring up any spoilers。I’m glad that we get to keep reading about past characters in each book。 I am looking forward to more Hall of Fame books in the future 😉Thank you Eva for allowing me to read and review this book。 ♥️ 。。。more

First， let me say that the ending is absolutely terrific！ I had tears in my eyes for， maybe the last 1/3 of the book。 With that said， I hated Dee。 She was so mean and nasty， to the point of being cruel。 I just wanted Lincoln to be rid of her。 He kept putting himself out there and Dee just kept slapping him down。 He’d say no more chances and then give her another chance。 Their back and forth wasn’t cute or funny。 It was just sad and uncomfortable。 So， if you feel like you’re hating Dee， the cold- First， let me say that the ending is absolutely terrific！ I had tears in my eyes for， maybe the last 1/3 of the book。 With that said， I hated Dee。 She was so mean and nasty， to the point of being cruel。 I just wanted Lincoln to be rid of her。 He kept putting himself out there and Dee just kept slapping him down。 He’d say no more chances and then give her another chance。 Their back and forth wasn’t cute or funny。 It was just sad and uncomfortable。 So， if you feel like you’re hating Dee， the cold-hearted b***h UFC fighter， hang in there。 She redeems herself as Diana， the warm & caring， but bad-a** UFC champion （and maybe another title that will surprise you。）Because I really disliked Dee and wanted to give up on the story， I gave it 4 stars。 I think she’s just a tough pill to swallow and others might not be able to choke it down。 。。。more

Taut tension and sizzling sparks fill this seductive dance of push and pull。 Dee and Linc were great characters and I really liked them。 The chemistry between these two is off the charts and I thought the storyline was so much fun。 I am electing to post a forthright review。

Swoon worthy AMAZING！！ Talk about sexual tension between two people。 Linc and Diana have it in spades。 I think these two loved to hate each other。 Their banter alone will have you wanting more from them。 Linc has wanted Diana from the beginning。 Even if he was known as a player he was hell bent on having her。 Diana was pushing Linc away at every turn。 You could feel the tension， stress， frustration， the hurt， the love and so much more of what these two were feeling。 You will feel as if you're pa Swoon worthy AMAZING！！ Talk about sexual tension between two people。 Linc and Diana have it in spades。 I think these two loved to hate each other。 Their banter alone will have you wanting more from them。 Linc has wanted Diana from the beginning。 Even if he was known as a player he was hell bent on having her。 Diana was pushing Linc away at every turn。 You could feel the tension， stress， frustration， the hurt， the love and so much more of what these two were feeling。 You will feel as if you're part of the story。 I loved this book so much。 Eva Haining has done it again。 She pulled me in and held on to me until the very end。 This is a must read。 。。。more
