I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.Hitting It is a lighthearted romance featuring a baseball player and an aspiring journalist. The story in this installment of the Locker Room Diaries is suitable for fans of sports romance.In Hitting It, readers meet Rob Lee and Heidi Wong. Rob and Heidi's paths crossed at spring break. Heidi, at the behest of her best friend, entered a wet T-shirt contest where she caught Rob's eye. After the contest they spent the day together leading up to a night of passion. The next day they went their separate ways. Fast forward three years later, Rob is starting his career as a professional baseball player while Heidi is trying to make it in the field of journalism.Heidi needs to write an impressive story to get the funds she needs to pay her bills. Writing about Rob, the newest addition to the Bobcats, is just what she needs. However, Rob's contract prevents him from speaking to reporters.The story didn't hit in the way I expected, but it was still an ok read. Heidi and Rob had a lot of growing up to do. When they first met, they weren't ready for the demands of a relationship. They were both focused on achieving their career goals, but that didn't stop them from thinking about each other. Their reunion gives them the opportunity to pursue a relationship.One would have thought it would be easy, seeing that their chemistry never fizzled out despite the years and distance. (Yeah!)! They hooked up again shortly after the reunion. However, they encountered obstacles, the main one being themselves. The back-and-forth was tiring at times. The romance was underwhelming. Yes, they had chemistry, but the author failed to build on it to the detriment of the romance. There were passionate scenes, which were based more on lust than on love; as such, they lacked authenticity.Then there was the manipulation dished out to Rob by the management and associates of his team. They took complete control of his life. Dictating who he can date and not speaking to the media.Cindy Kay and Tor Thom provided the narration for the audiobook. This is my first time listening to both narrators. I enjoyed their collaboration, and they enhanced the reading experience. Both narrators did a good job in capturing the emotions of the characters.This review was originally posted on Totally Addicted to Reading
