CALLING IT
Jen Doyle
Releasing April 11th, 2016

Baseball player Nathan Hawkins needs to get away from Chicago. After a near career-ending car accident and with paparazzi surrounding his penthouse, Nate can only think of one place to go: home. But when he finds his old apartment occupied by a half-naked woman wielding a baseball bat, he's not sure what to think...except that maybe his luck has finally changed for the better.

Librarian Dorie Donelli never thought she'd get to meet her fantasy man in person—much less while she’s wearing her bathrobe. To her surprise, her nearly naked run-in with Nate leads to more unclothed encounters. But Dorie is sure their fling is only temporary. As long as she remembers he’ll be gone once his life gets back on track, she won’t get hurt. In the meantime, she throws herself into enjoying their three weeks together before he has to report for spring training and go back to his
old life.

For Nate, being with Dorie is the only time in months that he finds himself smiling. Laughing. And he has no intention of letting that go. He might even be falling in love…if only Dorie will let him say the words. What they have isn’t just a dream, but the start of a dream come true.

A solid debut novel by Jen Doyle. This book has it all. A sweet small town love story, sports references, and an interesting cast of characters. Dorie (not the fish), is the librarian in a small town and subletting an apartment from a girl named Fitz. While in the shower, she hears a noise in the apartment. Dorie was surprised to fine one sexy man in her kitchen. Nate is a baseball player in the dumps. A recent car crash sparked rumors of injury that could end Nate's career. With a media storm like no other, Nate is trying to stay under the radar. Where else do you go when you need safety and support? Home, of course! The instant attraction, but slow burning courtship was greatly appreciated. The thing I loved most was the fact that this is a love story between a librarian and a super hot baseball player. :D I took my time reading this book and I absolutely can't wait for the next book!

A big believer in happily ever afters, Jen Doyle decided it was high time she started creating some. Jen is a member of the Romance Writers of America, as well as a member of the New England, New Jersey Romance Writers and Music City Romance Writer chapters of RWA. She is represented by Sarah E. Younger of the Nancy Yost Literary Agency. She has an M.S. in Library and Information Science and, in addition to her work as a librarian, has worked as a conference and events planner as well as a Communications and Enrollment administrator in both preschool and higher education environments (although some might say that there is very little difference between the two; Jen has no comment regarding whether she is one of the “some”).

CALLING IT is her first book, the first of two which will be published by Carina Press in 2016. It was the winner of The Beacon, the Finish the Damn Book, and the Melody of Love 2014 contests in the Contemporary Romance category, and was also the Contemporary Romance winner as well as the Grand Prize Winner of the 2014 Gateway to the Best contest.
