Grand Slam - JT Cheyanne

Grand Slam

JT Cheyanne

 

Book Review by Brenda Wright

Book Blurb:

All of his life, Spencer Hightower dreamed of playing baseball in the Major Leagues. He survived growing up gay in rural Alabama due to his impressive skill on the baseball diamond. Now living in Rhode Island and playing for the AAA Pawtucket Red Sox, he’s only a few steps away from his goal.

Brock Kinkaid, CPA, faced each day with a smile that hid his deepest desire. He wanted to be a father. Unfortunately, the gay men he knew were not into the daddy scene. Resigned to being childless, he lavished his attention on his niece and nephew. When Corey won tickets to see the local baseball team in action, they suckered him into taking them despite the fact he loathed the game. Who would have guessed one homerun ball would change everything?

My Review:

I was introduced to JT Cheyanne by Kindle Alexander!!  Thank you Kindle!!

Now a lot of people will see the M/M genre and think it’s just about sex.  This is SOOOO not the case here.  This is a wonderful story about finding your true love when you least expect it!  Now, I don’t know anything about baseball, so I can’t write any cute analogies.  Sorry!  This book had me laughing, crying, sitting on the edge of my seat, and crying tears of joy!!! 

Here are MY versions of Spencer and Brock......(grab something to catch your drool!!)

   

 

Spencer Hightower

Brock Kinkaid

Spencer is a baseball player for a local team.  He’s openly gay and his teammates and coach support his lifestyle.  He meets  Brock at the end of a game when a little boy catches  a ball.  Spencer goes to meet the little boy and falls in lust with the little boy’s “dad”.  He finds out that Brock is NOT the dad of the kid, but the uncle.  Spencer is very happy about that.  Brock is also attracted immediately to Spencer.  It’s love at first sight! 

This isn’t a story about boy sees boy; boy falls in love with boy; little drama and then happily ever after.  No, this story has real drama, mystery, love, lust, and jealousy!  It has some shocking moments!  It will have to wanting to throw your kindle across the room!  It will have you sobbing your eyes out and cursing the prejudices of some ignorant people!  Great story!  Can’t say enough great things about it!  I will definitely be reading more books by JT Cheyanne!  What are you waiting for....go click now!!!

Here are a few of my favorite quotes:

“I’ve waited as long as I can. I’m going to kiss you.”

“I want you to stay.  I just can’t believe you actually want to.”

Spencer’s hands landed on Brock’s hips and got busy pulling his button down free of his jeans.  Brock’s back slammed into the wood as the other man crowded close.  Firm, yet lush, lips captured his own.  Spencer licked along the seam of his mouth, and with a groan, Brock opened for his plundering tongue.  He gasped for air when Spencer finally broke their kiss to nip along his jaw line.

(I know, right?!?!?)

About the Author

It's me! J.T. Cheyanne. I live in beautiful Sweet Home Alabama. The skies truly are the bluest I've ever seen. The heat in summer steals your breath and we don't usually have a white Christmas, but it's a great place to hang your hat. My partner and I have five wonderful children who provide hours of entertainment alongside hours of aggravation. Wouldn't trade them for anything.

I started writing for role play in 2010, and moved on to writing my own original work shortly after due to the encouragement of my wonderful friends. Completing Ocean's Kiss and seeing it through to publication was a journey I will never forget. It taught me alot about writing, about friendship and about personal accomplishment.

I'm currently working on several stories with my partner and several solo stories. I look forward to my next publication.

Laziel, my beautiful angel, I love you.

"Books are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. Without books, the development of civilization would have been impossible. They are engines of change (as the poet said), windows on the world and lighthouses erected in the sea of time. They are companions, teachers, magicians, bankers of the treasures of the mind.

Books are humanity in print."

― Barbara W. Tuchman
