In Other Words (Boothbay Harbor Book 1) by Pamela Q. Fernandes. This story really captured a piece of me. The characters are so connectable and well written. I had times of being on an emotional roller coaster with each character but I loved it. Each of our main characters have stories to share and you won’t want to miss them. From start to finish I was hooked and couldn’t put it down. The storyline is well thought out and well written. It’s got a nice pace of events never feeling rushed or lacking anything. I’m excited to see where the author takes readers next. Great read. Four stars and highly recommended!

In Other Words (Boothbay Harbor Series Book 1) by Pamela Q. Fernandes was an amazing read. I loved how easily the story carried me away. It was romantic but touched on some sensitive topics. I loved Trish and her stunning ability to play the piano. That is something I myself have always enjoyed but I am no where near as good as she. I also loved the struggles she overcame and how her character changed and developed over time. It was amazing. This truly was a wonderful read and I highly recommend it.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In Other Words (Boothbay Harbor Book 1) by Pamela Q. Fernandes is a highly emotionally charged and angst-ridden romance story. It tells of one woman’s tumultuous journey into life by way of being adopted and how that shaped her. I really wanted to sit her down and straighten out her pitiful attitude, she definitely needs to take a good look at herself before getting into a relationship. Argh! Whilst I love these times tested “men don’t do a relationship” but come around at the last-minute type of stories I do get frustrated with them. This is definitely a tough and rough ride but interesting tale of longing for the one who will love you unconditionally. I was almost exhausted by the time I finished the story.

Trish was adopted but never fit in. Men loved to leave her, and she longed for love and fell into love so easily. Unfortunately, it seems love was not for her, she was unlovable.

Michael liked his life just as it is. His family where the odd ones out and they had no room for love in their lives, they were destined to be alone. So, one and done was all he would allow. He meets a beautiful yet haunted young lady who makes him want to be there for her, but he knows she will want more and that is the one thing he can’t give her.

It is still worth the read.

The emotional rollercoaster had me turning pages fast. It is well written and engaging. The characters are connectable and brought the story to life. Trish has had some bad relationships and her last one is no different. She moves next door to a chef that may just change her mind about romance. What will happen when the past and tradition are called into play? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens with these two.

Trish Holt is a pianist, living in picturesque Boothbay Harbor, Maine. She is stunned and blindsided by the most bitter kind of betrayal: her boyfriend of three years has left her. His new lover is her manager. Her bitterness is compounded by the fact that Trish has made bad choices when it comes to past relationships. Much of it stemming from her own issues as an adopted child from Korea. She holds herself partly responsible for the breakdown in their relationship as she tries to fit into the stereotype of the ‘All American’ girlfriend.

When she moves out to a new home, she encounters Michael Quentin. Not only is he her neighbor but also a local chef on the island, who romances her and helps her get over the betrayal. As Michael and Trish fall in love, their childhood issues resurface.

Can Trish stop herself from loving Michael whose own family’s dark past is holding him back?

Can she ignore his love for tradition and roots?

Bowled: Facing the Yorker of Love (To Love a Sportsman Book 1) by Pamela Q. Fernandes – Review by Jessica Leombruno

Bowled (To Love a Sportsman Book 1)Bowled by Pamela Q. Fernandes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Bowled by Pamela Q. Fernandes was my first book by this author and I’m looking forward to reading more by this author. This was a wonderfully written story of humor and missteps with sassy attitude thrown in.

We all know that everything you put on Twitter can and will be used against you at some point. Rose found that out when she posted “Did Mathew Anderson really need another home in NYC” Never did Rose think that would lead to a trip to NYC to meet Mathew.

I like anything to do British culture so I was interested in learning little about cricket; I think I will stick to American Baseball (LOL). I highly recommended this story to anyone looking for an enjoyable sports romance.

Bowled: Facing the Yorker of Love by Pamela Q. Fernandes is the first book in her To Love A Sportsman Series. This was my first book by this author but I’m sure it won’t be my last as I did really enjoy this book. The storyline was dynamic, and I loved the amount of supporting characters. I enjoyed all the detail that this author put into the story, there was so much that I was able to picture everything playing out in my mind.

Although, I will admit that at first I had a harder time getting into it as I found the storyline jumped around quite a bit, but I was able to get use to the writing style and ended up following along easily enough.

I look forward to reading more from this author in the future!

Bowled by Pamela Q. Fernandes a five-star read that should be a six. This is number one in the To love a sports man series and I can’t wait for more. This was such a great story, I loved the fact that it was about Cricket, something I secretly adore (and not just for the cute white outfits). Mathew Anderson wasn’t always someone I liked, but when I got to know the real him, not just the façade he shows us just how special he is. The second chance romance in this story is believable and honest, it shows us how beautiful life can be when we need it to be, it also shows us life isn’t always perfect and sometimes it needs a good shake. Rose was full of surprises for me, she made me feel a lot more than I imagined she would.

Bowled was a lovely, sweet romance story that I thoroughly enjoyed! I have read stories by this author previously so I was looking forward to reading more from her again and I wasn’t disappointed. The story had the pace and flow that I have come to love from this author as well as wonderful characters who are both likeable and realistic. It never takes me long at all to become absorbed in what I am reading from Ms Fernandes. I liked that both of the characters had their own stories to tell, both have been burned in the past and I knew as soon as that first initial contact was made, albeit with a pretty nasty tweet, these two would be perfect for each other! They did frustrate me at times but I couldn’t help but find myself rooting for them the whole way through.
Bowled was a really enjoyable story that I would definitely recommend to other readers! As always I will be looking forward to reading more from this author again in the future!

I liked the story and enjoyed the interaction between Mathew and Rose. I am not familiar with cricket and so some of the terminology was foreign to me but I was a to get past it and enjoy the story. I also enjoyed the story took place in several locations. I like stories where there is a background which contributes to the storyline. I enjoyed this and am looking forward to reading more in this series.

This is not my first book by this author and will definitely not be my last. Although this wasn’t my favorite of those I’ve read it was still written in the way I have come to enjoy by this author.

I’m not usually drawn to the sports genre and then throw in cricket and I was totally lost on that part so just concentrated on the characters. I really enjoyed reading about Mathew and Rose and there were some parts that seemed kind of predictable and then there were parts that broke my heart.

I will definitely be looking for more from this author and do highly recommend this book especially to those that like the sports kind of atmosphere. Its a quick read and flows smoothly.

Bowled: Facing the Yorker of Love (To Love a Sportsman Book 1) by Pamela Q. Fernandes. This is a new to me author. I really enjoyed this book, who doesn’t love sports and a sexy guy. Throw in a quirky, funny woman and you have one good book. This book is about Mathew and Rose. He is a cricket player and she is a teacher. What started at a joke tweet, turned into jokingly flirting, turns into Rose traveling to stay with him for a “visit”. They are both coming off of emotional and difficult times. I enjoyed this book and can not wait to see what else is in story.

Bowled: Facing The Yorker Of Love is the first book in the To Love A Sportsman series by Pamela Q. Fernandes. I had not previously read any of this author’s work but I do love a good sports romance so decided to give this a try. Although I have read many sports romances, I have never read one centred around the sport of cricket. Thankfully I’m a lover of cricket and incidentally I’m writing this review while watching England play at the world Cup.
Hero of this story is Mathew Anderson, captain of the England cricket team. Having been accused of domestic abuse by his previous girlfriend, he’s currently keeping women at arm’s length. Well that is until he receives a tweet from Rose Cavendish which forces him to take action.
I absolutely loved the interactions between Mathew and Rose. There is an instant attraction between the 2 but both have severe trust issues since their previous relationships. Rose is a feisty character that i loved but she also came across as very vulnerable at times.
I loved Mathew’s characters but there were a few occasions that I’d loved to have given him a kick up the backside. I hated that he allowed dinner guests to speak badly of her. He lost serious brownie points at that point in the story.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more of this series.

Bowled: Facing the Yorker of Love was a fun little read that I scooped up and devoured in just one afternoon. I normally adore all things sports romance, odd since I’m not a major sports fan, but something about them just has all the right stuff to make a delectable read. I have read a few of Pamela Q. Fernandes’s works in the past but must say, this has to be my favorite of hers. You can see the growth in her writing and this was just a much smoother flow than the last few of hers I have read.

Rose and Matthew both have been through the wringer of bad relationships. Neither of them saw a fresh new romance on the horizon but when they meet and things start to fall into place the connection and attraction is undeniable. Will they be able to weather all that life throws at their new relationship? I enjoyed these two and reading all about the adventures they find themselves in. I am looking forward to seeing what will come in book two as well!

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Bowled: Facing the Yorker of Love was a great 5 star read and book one in the To Love a Sportsman series. I was pulled in right from the beginning.

This is Rose and Mathew’s story. These two originally meet with Rose tweets something that challenges Mathew. Mathew steps up and accepts the challenge.

Rose goes to New York to see her boyfriend, when she sees him he is absolutely horrible to her. She ends up with some bruises inside and out and is confused as to why he’s acting like this.

Rose is staying at Mathew’s home in New York, Mathew can tell something isn’t right. There is something about her that draws him in and he wants more with her. He tries to cheer her up by taking her out on the town and showing her New York. Just when you think things are going great a huge twist is thrown in and everything goes south quickly. Mathew feels lied to once again by a woman and quickly pushes Rose away. He was terrible to her, my heart broke during this scene.

Rose did everything she could to keep herself busy and her mind off of Mathew, she finished her education and became a part of an election team with the goal of a possible chair on the ministry of education. What she doesn’t realize is that Mathew has been keeping tabs on her.

There is so much more to this story. It was so back and forth I didn’t know how to feel at times.
My emotions were all over the place anger, hurt and LOL Pamela Q. Fernandes has a great writing style that I really enjoy. You feel like your right there with the characters. All of the secondary characters added a great element to the story and I hope to see more from some of them. If you’re looking for a read that throws you twists and turns this is the read for you. I look forward to reading more from this author and series.

Bowled: Facing the Yorker of Love (To Love a Sportsman Book 1) by Pamela Q. Fernandes is a sports romance. This story features two characters that each have a past that has shaped how they handle and approach their present. Mathew is a star on and off the field, but when life deals him a hand he doesn’t exactly want, we follow how he takes this turn of events and maneuvers these. Rose is cautious in almost all things and the way she holds herself, separates her from so many others. This makes her shine so brightly and it is about to shift both her world and Mathew’s full tilt! This story was a great read and Pamela Q. Fernandes is a talented author!

Bowled: Facing the Yorker of Love (To Love a Sportsman Book 1) by Pamela Q. Fernandes is a sweet sports romance story. The plot was solid and it was easy to read and I read it in one sitting. There were times I wanted to shake the characters, for smart people they would do stupid things or be in the wrong circumstance and because of this it frustrated me no end. I wanted to yell at them to wisen up.

Rose decided to cross the continent and follow her heart but what she found was someone who was a nasty human being. On the plus side she found someone who may just fill her heart.

Matthew is still reeling from his last relationship and how he is perceived in the limelight. But when one sassy beautiful woman comes to stay, he can’t help but hope for more.

I enjoy Pamela’s books and look forward to more.

I always have a soft spot for books like this. As I am from the UK I always find I connect with them so easily. It is lovely to be able to instantly understand all the colloquialisms. Combine that with the fact that the description of this story drew me in I knew I was going to love this book. And love it I did.
For me this was the type of book that you can’t put down at all. I read it all in one sitting, in the space of a few hours. I loved the two main characters. I thought they had a strong connection and was instantaneous.
This is a new author to me and I enjoyed the way she created the story line. I thought the whole book has such an easy flow to it. You found yourself being swept along by what was happening. This was a fun and easy ready and yet I still felt like I was emotionally connect to the characters. This was a thoroughly enjoyable book and a great new author that I have discovered.

Bowled: Facing the Yorker of Love (To Love a Sportsman Book 1) by Pamela Q. Fernandes was a book that had a little bit of everything. Romance, drama, mystery, tragedy and suspense, plus there was sports involved. I personally know absolutely nothing about Cricket which left me trying to figure out what was being said part of the time but my lack of knowledge didn’t cause me to not follow along and enjoy Mathew and Rose’s story.

Mathew is definitely the stereotypical athlete at least in public, he has been burned before and doesn’t want to put himself out there to be hurt. He has no idea how much he ends up helping Rose.

I really enjoyed this book and play on learning a little about Cricket just so I can understand some of the terms in this book and I’m going to assume any future books in this series.

This is one of those books that I typically like. Sports romance with a bit of angst.

The good – It evoked emotion
More than once I wanted to shake each protagonist and tell them to smarten up. There are so many circumstances that they shouldn’t have even been in and yet they were.

It was well plotted:
The people they surround themselves with don’t have their best interest at heart. We, the reader could see it, why couldn’t they?

Sexy sportsmen:
Cricket… I googled it to get a better understanding of it and still I am clueless hahaha

There are no plot holes, the story is well edited and it was an easy story to read. I have read this author previously and will continue to do so.

This isn’t my first book by this author. I enjoy her writing style and characters. Although I don’t know a thing about cricket I did struggle with this story at the beginning. Once I got going with the lingo and speaking manner I couldn’t put this down. This story is full of ups and downs as we follow the lives of Mathew and Rose. I enjoyed learning about them and what they went through to be together. My only issues is a couple times (after arguments/misunderstandings) it seemed the story just moved forward with no explanation or discussion to remedy the situation. I don’t know many women who would just let something go time after time after time. Then a couple times I wasn’t sure where we were (NY, London, the pitch) which confused me.

I really was saddened about a couple of events and shocked at others. I think their NY time together is my favorite part of the story. I didn’t have a favorite character. The two main characters really take up most of the story with a few minor one here and there. A nicely enjoyable story
