Bottom of the Ninth Game On in Seattle Seattle Skookums Book 1 edition by Jami Davenport Literature Fiction eBooks

Bottom of the Ninth was a story I couldn't wait to read and Jami Davenport hit this one out of the park.

Zeke is the youngest of the three Wolfe brothers. Raised in an abusive home, he is emotionally unavailable and unhappy with his recent trade to the last chance Seattle Skookums pro baseball team. He is also unhappy to be playing in the same city with his two pro athlete brothers whom he has avoided for many years.

On his first night as a resident of rainy Seattle, he cuts a corner and hits a deep puddle splashing water everywhere, including a now bedraggled woman and three small children. Although he wants to keep going, he backs up to check on them.

Paisley has custody of her deceased sister's kids and has traveled to Seattle to stay with family, but is not welcomed once she gets there. Now with a broken car, cold, wet, hungry kids and five dollars to her name, she is out of options and has no where to go.

Zeke is a loner. He doesn't like kids. He doesn't do relationships, he doesn't get involved. Against his better judgement, he offers them pizza and his home for the night, after all, they will be gone in the morning.

Bottom of the Ninth is a well told story with no 'hangers'. It can be a stand alone book but the Wolfe brothers relationship is developed in earlier books. Enjoy!

My honest, unbiased review was based off an ARC I received from the author, but I enjoyed the book so much I ordered the book for my collection

Bottom of the Ninth Game On in Seattle Seattle Skookums Book 1 edition by Jami Davenport Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

A stand alone read with a HEA. This is the third brother in this series. The brothers are all ball players. This one is a baseball player. His career has taken a nose dive and he has been traded to a bottom rated team in Seattle. He is angry about being traded and even more angry about the fact he will be living in the same town as his two older brothers. They all come from a very tragic childhood. Being the youngest, the older two brothers left him to deal with their abusive alcoholic father. Abuse was a nice adjective to describe this jerk. he should have been in prison. Right now, the hero has a hate going for the two older brothers that left him behind. They promised to look after him but they didn't. Now, they are all in the same town and they want forgiveness for what they did. I really hate it when the old excuse of it will be better for you than me if you forgive me. Or, the old holding on to hate is harming you more than me. The jerks just want to ease their conscious about what they did, IMHO.

Even more irritating for me were all the people that were trying to force him into forgiving them. When a person has NO CLUE about what all went on to say just forgive and move on, it is like telling a woman that was brutally raped to just forgive the rapist and move on. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. But as the story moves on, everyone that knows the brothers try to convince him to just get over it. I felt bad for the hero because none of them went through what he did.

But to get back to the story. A young woman moves into his basement with her three children in tow. She has issues of her own. Her sister made one bad choice after another until she wound up murdered and her body thrown in a ditch, her husband arrested on drug charges. The three kids came to her the only relative that would take them. She left Idaho and went to Seattle to try and start over and give the kids a chance. They wound up living with the ballplayer. He has lots of issues to work through as does she.

There is a bit of mystery involved regarding the jailed brother-in-law and the hero working through issues with his brothers. It is an interesting story set in the baseball world and is entertaining. I would recommend it. There is a bit of steamy romance. She is a young woman that has been around the track a time or two so she takes matters into her own hands - literally. So be aware if that is a problem for you.

I was not paid for this review. I am not a writer nor do I know one. I am not kin to this author. I am a reader and this is my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. 2/26/18
Zeke brings new meaning to the term lone Wolfe. As the youngest Wolfe brother he is the one that others talk about but no one is able to talk to because he has shut his brothers out completely after they left him alone with their psycho father. Zeke had been successful so far living far enough away playing baseball and they are doing their own things in Seattle, so he is not amused at all when he is traded to the Seattle Skookums who are at the bottom of the league. The first night there he ran into another problem, well he ran into a large puddle that soaked a woman and 3 kids standing on the side of the road as their car had died. Being a true man he took them in for just ONE night but then the next day his agent decided to turn it into something longer when he was presented with a plan by Paisley.

Paisley Madison has her own issues to deal with, she is struggling with temporary custody of her nephew and 2 nieces and is making sure they are kept far, far away from their dad/her brother in law who just may have been the reason that their mother died. When she met Zeke on that dark and stormy night and then saw the old house that he had purchased she realized that he could be her ticket. Now she just had to work on showing him that not only could she do the job but they could also be exactly what he needed in his life.

While there was an instant attraction between the two of the them, Zeke denied it completely because he was worried about being exactly like his father. What he was least expecting was after being given an ultimatum by the new owner of the team to help improve their image, he realized that maybe that longer need to turn into something permanent because he actually did need to let his past go and have a family in his life. Not just this instant family but also his brothers as truly did need to be all together.

Jami has hit a home run with this book. All too often we get this story of perfect people being with each other when in true life it is nothing like that. Dealing with violence and abuse is something that we want to deny happens in our hearts but we know in our heads it does. Being able to put this story in a way that was so realistic and comforting was exactly what I expect from this author. So when you read this book, make sure you have a few tissues close by just in case because you might need them as this will hit you hard.
