I am loving this series! We learned a bit about how Zara and Noah met but now we get to know the inner details and what really happened and why.
These 2 just were an explosion waiting to happen but also Zara brought in her insecurities of never having been in a relationship and what happens if you get hurt. But Noah was perfect and was exactly what she needed.

The author Bree Kraemer did an amazing job on Zara Dewan’s character and on Noah Ashe. All that Zara wanted was fun in a non-relationship but love can bite you back when you ignore the fact that there is always one male or female who wants you but for a serious relationship. Bree gave these two characters life in a world where sometimes you can have both or nothing at all.
Zara is my type of girl who wants to be free with no strings attached but having someone to love you is not that bad at all… Love this book.

This was the second book in the series, and the second book I’ve read by this author. This one was just as good if not better than the first. There were lots of emotions jumping off the pages. You got to feel the chemistry between Zara and Noah, like you were there with them. I was hooked from the first chapter. I can’t see what happens in book 3.

I really liked the first book in this series, but I LOVED this book. It was humorous and flirty. Zara, the lead character is witty, fiercely independent, and good at what she does. She is the perfect complement to Noah and the background characters really support the story masterfully. I didn’t want to put it down, and am excited to read the next book in the series!

Bree Kraemer continues the Ground Rule series with Sacrifice Bunt and boy do things get pretty steamy! Zara Dewan and Noah Ashe, whom we met in the first Ground Rules book are the main characters in this hot romance! If you did not read book #1 you really should go back so you can pick up where we left off, including finding out how these two had initially met, it’s a tale you don’t want to miss that’s for sure! I was so excited to see that their story got to continue, I was rooting for Noah right from the start. This book has realistic situations that will have you reminiscing about your younger years and asking yourself oh gosh did I do that lol. I love the character-building that Bree Kraemer does, and the fact that she continues the story of each of our original character’s love stories! They each get to live their happily ever after with a lot of hot scenes that’ll have you gasping for air. You may want to have a fan close by, cause you’re going to be sweating after this read!

Sacrifice bunt is about a three book series 😍 it can definitely embed read as a stand alone however I do recommend her first book.
Bree writes about Zara and Noah. Zara is a PR agent for sports. She works with everyone from soccer to tennis but prefers a man in baseball attire ;).
Noah a baseball superstar been around the block once or twice but can’t get the confident naked woman in his shared apartment years ago.
When Zara and Noah reconnect after a mutual friends wedding it’s clear they’re both mad about each other. But Zara lets her embarrassment get the best of her. Unable no more unwilling to allow herself be loved, whisked away with Noah. She plays hard to get; setting up rules to keep her heart caged.
Does Noah have what it takes for Zara to open up? Will Zara let Noah in ?
Read this steamy romance to find out more 😍

I’m starting to fall in love with this author. Book 1 in this series made me fall in love with the series. I thoroughly enjoy sports romances. Sacrifice Bunt is another favorite I plan to add to that sports romance list. It keeps growing, especially since I’ve been reading a lot of them lately.
The author put together another wonderful story between Noah and Zara. A misunderstanding from years prior led Zara to highly dislike Noah. However, when she finds out the truth does that change anything?
Noah has wanted Zara for years. Ever since he saved her life, she’s occupied his mind. Does he finally get his chance?
I really like the demonstration of growth for the two main characters in this book. The author also makes the characters relatable. I see a lot of Zara in myself, especially when it comes to expressing and voicing how you feel. Yeah, it reminds me of one of my flaws, however it makes me feel like part of the story.
No romance comes without a bit of drama but add in the sports aspect and I’m sold.

I loved Sacrifice Bunt so much! Zara is such a strong and sassy main character which made me fall hard for her pretty much immediately. She isn’t reserved and knows exactly what she wants. Or does she? Noah ruffles her feathers from the very beginning, and I absolutely love their energy together. I enjoy the spice and humor throughout this story. Bree Kraemer knows just how to bring all of these characteristics into a marvelous read that you’ll struggle to put down (or in my case, shirk all responsibilities until you finish). I’m excited to read the third book already, so pick up the first two so you don’t miss out!

Another great one! Though the second in a series, this can be read as a standalone and date I say I enjoyed it more than the first. The author composes a page-turning read following Zara and Noah. I love a good sports romance and this is no exception. Zara is a powerhouse character and I love her sauciness and interactions with Noah. The author does an excellent job creating well-rounded, likable characters, ask well as tension and relationship. I love a hate to love type storyline and this author delivers it to the next level. I love the first one, now the second, can’t wait to start the third!

Sacrifice Bunt is another fun, sports themed, romance which is book 2 in the Ground Rule Series, where Zara and Noah are beginning to figure each other out once and for all. Noah a panic attack riddled, fire fighters son, who really enjoys playing baseball, and thinking about Zara. Zara, after experiencing the most embarrassing moment of her life and being left behind, naked, with only his shirt, after he saves her from a fire wants to avoid Noah at all costs. This was a sweet, romantic story, with real life elements that made it seem more realistic while discussing real mental health struggles. I really enjoyed reading Noah and Zara’s story and I look forward to continuing this series.

Sacrifice Bunt (Ground Rule Book 2)
I may have developed a little crush on Zara while I was reading. She is what I wish I could be. Confident, successful and loves her job.
Oh where do I start with Noah? I mean he’s a baseball player and most of us can appreciate a hot guy in those wonderful pants.
Zara and Noah’s love/hate relationship was quite entertaining to read and it all went back to a chance and brief encounter several years earlier.
Bree Kraemer hasn’t let me down yet. I have read and obsessed over several of her books and is definitely on my list of authors to read any chance I get.
Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

I read Kraemer’s first book in the series and I definitely wanted to give this next book a try. A bit different mentality with Zara, who is career driven as a Sports Agent and prefers non-committed connections. Distractions arise when it comes to Noah, an all star sports athlete, who has quite a thing for Zara since the college days when he found her naked. Their connection cannot be denied and things start unraveling after Zara goes on a work trip with Noah. Kraemer has such a vivid way in expressing her characters that make you empathize with the course of events. Cannot wait for the next one!

Sacrifice Bunt is Book Two in the Ground Rule Series. It is a sports romance full of drama, angst, passion, and chemistry. The story centers around the characters of Zara and Noah who appear to be complete opposites and for all outward appearances are enemies. Zara’s focus is on her career, and she has no need for relationships in her life. However, she does happily enjoy no-strings attached sex whenever and wherever she can. Noah has had the hots for Zara since college years earlier when he caught her in a rather compromising position. He has never stopped thinking about her so when he meets her again years later, he vows to swoon her and win her over. The problem is, Zara hates Noah and does not want any part of a relationship with him. She agrees to one night with him but that is all he gets. Will one night be enough? Will Zara realize her feelings for Noah?
This was a well written book that fully draws you into the story of Zara and Noah. It was easy to become immersed in their story and see if Zara would eventually be worn down by Noah. I loved the character of Zara. She is strong, smart, career oriented, and determined to make it in a man’s world. She was unafraid of going after what she wanted and may come across as cold. She is unafraid to admit that she enjoys having no-strings attached sex without the hassle of being in a relationship. When her and Noah hook- up she does not want to realize that she has feelings for him and tries to deny it. It was interesting to see the relationship between the characters develop and see if Noah would be the one man to win Zara’s heart. I highly recommend this book full of drama, love, sex, passion, sizzling chemistry, and enemies turning to lovers.

Zara is a strong independent woman who loves her work as a sports agent. However, there’s one person, who gets under her skin- Noah Ashe. They had a chance encounter during their college years; one she’d like to forget. When they share a kiss will they become more?
Sacrifice Bunt is a well-written romance with sexual tension between the main characters. I enjoyed reading this book as a stand-alone, but it is the second in the Ground Rule series.

This is the second book in the Ground Rule Series. I really enjoyed this story. These books can be read as a standalone but I will be reading others in the series as I really enjoyed it. The author does an amazing job with the characters. They are relatable and easy to connect with. A part of me felt sorry for Noah. I feel the misunderstanding with Zara has lead to her thinking of him as something he’s not and that hinders any chance they have of a relationship.
Zara is a very independent, determined woman. As a sports agent she is used to being strong and doing things her way. She doesn’t like being made to feel vulnerable and that is exactly what she feels when she is around Noah.
A chance meeting, a fire alarm which caused them to flee and then Noah disappearing has left her feeling vulnerable but the main thing that is making her vulnerable is if she admits to herself and to Noah that her feelings for him aren’t hate after all.
Noah has had trauma in his past. After losing his dad in a fire, the night he rescued Zara caused him to flee. Since that night he has not been able to get her out of his mind. But how can he make her see that the image she has in her mind of him isn’t the person he is?
Can they learn to trust each other enough to be completely vulnerable with each other? Or will having to be vulnerable be too much for them to even think about and stopping any chance of romance before it begins?
The attraction and chemistry between them jumps off the page but until they learn how to be vulnerable will they ever stand a chance?

Book two. Ahhh I was so excited for Zara’s story! She is the rough around the edges friend and one who hasn’t been in love, ever. Very career focused, and darn good at what she does in the sports world, she doesn’t date athletes anyway and especially not ones named Noah. Noah saved a beautiful woman’s life one day years ago and hasn’t been the same since. Being the poster boy baseball player, he’s never in trouble, never seen with a woman and never on a scandal. Mainly because there’s only one girl he wants. Hint: it’s Zara, from the fire. I loved these two. I loved Zara and how real she felt. Their chemistry was amazing and let me tell you this book was spiiiicy. I loved everything about these two. I am excited to read the next book!

This is the 2nd book in the series but can be read as a standalone. Noah an Zara have a past that they are both running from an Zara avoids Noah like the plague. She makes it known to everyone how much she dislikes him. But in the end will their feelings overcome their past? I liked Noah an Zara story better than the first book.

The second book in the series, I thought this was a great follow up to the first book and can be read as a standalone. I thought this book was even more entertaining than the first. The connection between the characters was just as strong as those in the first but I found these ones to be funnier. I enjoyed watching their relationship build as the story went on.
I am very much enjoying this series so far and I really hope that it carries on the way it is. I am looking forward to the next book in the series and will be checking out some of other books by this author too.

Sacrifice Bunt (Ground Rule Book 2) by Bree Kraemer. This is a really good enemies to lovers read. Its about Zara who is focused on her career and has no time for romance. She is almost like a man in the sense that she loves them then leaves them. Noah is a MLB player and a friend of a coworker of Zara’s so when he walks in on Zara completely naked waiting on his friend he can’t get her out of his mind. Zara thins Noah has a stick up his rear and she doesn’t like him because he found her in a vulnerable state. Zara doesn’t realize the trauma Noah has been thru and just doesn’t like him. When they kiss she changes her mind and can’t get him out of her mind. Will they be able to get past their hang ups and make a relationship work or will they let the problems of the past cause it to never work. This book will have you turning the pages late in the night until you are finished. Such a good slow burn read.

Perfect. Sometimes I just need a sweet, sexy and no drama romance. This hit the spot. Noah being in love with Zara for so long had me falling in love with him. This author creates a light story but also sheds light on real genuine issues. Noah and his panic attacks and Zara with her fear of falling in love. My heart just melted watching how Noah had no problem waiting for Zara as long as it took and seeing Zara talk with her friends and realize things about herself was sweet. I love their love.

Sacrifice Bunt (Ground Rule Book 2) by Bree Kraemer
Sacrifice Bunt is the second book in the Ground Rule Series. This is a wonderfully written Sports Romance that once you start reading its hard to put down. I literally read this in one sitting as I had to know how things were going to end. These two have some serious chemistry between. This author is one of the reasons I love Sports Romance so much. Her attention to detail makes the story come off the pages along with creative, yet strong and fully developed characters. This is definitely my favorite of this series yet. This is a fast paced story that will have you turning the pages. Can these have more than one night? I highly recommend reading this book to find out what happens between Noah and Zara. Im super excited about the next book in this series and looking forward to reading more from this Author.

This is book 2 Ground Rules Series, it can be read as a stand-alone but it’s nice to have the other story. I loved Noah and Zara’s story. Zara is a confident career driven woman. As a sports agent she has a rule to never get involved with a man that plays sports. Noah, an all star sports player, who’s been in love with her since that night he rescued her from a fire. Their chemistry is strong, neither can deny it. Once they finally reconnect, sparks fly! Watching them learn to understand each other and themselves is was wonderful. I’m very excited for the next story in this series.

This book is book two of the series. Each book can be read as a standalone but honestly both books so far have been really good so I recommend both!
Zara doesn’t do relationships. She has her career and her no strings attached approach to “relationships”. Noah poses an interesting challenge though. That being, he’s been attracted to her since he found her naked on his couch. Zara, however, just needs to convince herself that she can’t stand him and doesn’t want him. Can Noah be patient enough to win her over or will he get the message Zara is trying to send?
I really enjoyed this book. I’m not surprised though because the first one was good too! This book has just the right amount of push and pull between the characters. You quickly get invested in the story and can’t wait to see how it plays out. I highly recommend!
Sacrifice Bunt by Bree Kraemer
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Zara doesn’t do relationships. No plans at any point to be with anyone long term, and with her job she swears off athletes. She’s living the life she wants.
Noah Ashe is a threat to her lifestyle though.
Ever since he walked in to her naked on his couch, Noah hasn’t been able to stop thinking about her. Unfortunately, Zara hates him.
One night, that’s all her friend needs her help for, but that one night changes everything. Can they make it work or is someone walking away injured?
I found this book to be sweet and enjoyable. There were some really fun parts and Zara is pretty amusing. I found that one of her “quirks” was mentioned too late in the storyline though and I feel that it would have been more understandable if it had been used in the beginning and throughout instead of right near the end.
I definitely plan on reading more in the series despite not being a huge sports romance fan. I like the spice.

Zara is a great, strong female lead. As a sports agent she gets along with everyone and gets the job done closing out deals. The one person she can’t tolerate, or so she keeps telling herself, is Noah Ashe. He’s done nothing to her to warrant such hatred except for walk in on her naked, save her life and then vanish. Noah had his reasons for vanishing and he has yet to share that with anyone but his therapist. Maybe Zara will be the first? After Zara said no to being his agent it has become his mission to annoy her. Due to unforseen circumstances Zara is asked to step in at the tale end of a deal by her good friend and Noah’s agent. The last thing either of them expected was to share a kiss at the end of the night. Noah is all for moving forward and having a possible relationship, but is Zara? In my opinion this book is too short, BUT it is good! The author made both characters very relatable and really brought their personalities to life. It was fun to see Zara come to the realization that she had romantic feelings for Noah and that she felt less lonely when he was around. Although this is part of a series you can read it as a stand alone.

Another good story in this series. I was super excited for these two’s story. I struggled with Zara a bit since she is so wishywashy but eventually I understood her though and reasoning. Noah is just the best guy every. Yes he has a few hangups but overall he is a forever guy. He is kind, patient and a all around nice guy that everyone likes. I loved the Auction scenes! Very humorous. We do see characters from previous books in here as well as from other series (which I have not read) a few scenes seemed the same with just different secondary characters.
Overall this is a good story. It has characters that did some growing and changing. I look forward to the next in the series.

Sacrifice Bunt
By: Bree Kraemer
I am absolutely loving this series by Bree Kraemer. I love baseball so this series featuring Baseball Players is a no brainer for me to read. What I wasn’t expecting is that the plot would be so well written and would suck me in from the first word.
Zara is an incredibly strong, independent woman. She has a career she loves and she definitely prides herself on not getting attached. She never expected that the one person who would get under her skin would be a pro baseball player. Its important to note that Noah and Zara have history and not any kind of history but the kind of history where everyone hopes they never see each other again. But yet they do and boy do sparks fly.
I love the banter between Zara and Noah. It just seemed like it was inevitable that their chemistry would win, despite any personal feelings that they may have. However, when they have to be professional with one another their chemistry is undeniable. I definitely love this series and recommend that everyone read this.
