Addicted to Glove

April 14, 2025

Torch Lit Ink is celebrating this upcoming steamy sports romance from Kelly Reynolds with a release blitz event!

📆 Release Date:  Sept 18

𝑩𝒍𝒖𝒓𝒃: 

Major League meets Ted Lasso, with a hint of Three Men and a Baby in this age gap, surprise pregnancy romcom set in the Pacific Northwest.

As social media director for the Rose City Roasters, Dani Bernal is no stranger to high-stakes pressure or hot men in baseball pants. She’s sharp, witty, and one-hundred-and-ten percent committed to keeping things professional—even when the team’s gruff and guarded general manager makes her want to test every HR policy in the book. It was only supposed to be one night, one moment of weakness. One night. That’s all it was supposed to be. That is until Dani finds herself staring down a positive pregnancy test. Suddenly, she realizes the real game has just begun.

Between his daughter’s obsession with The Great British Bake Off, a team gunning for back-to-back World Series titles, and a reputation for keeping his personal life tightly locked down, Brooks already has enough on his plate. Falling for the tatted-up pixie in combat boots was never part of the playbook, but no matter how hard he tries to resist, Dani crashes through his carefully ordered world like a line drive to the chest—messy, magnetic, and impossible to ignore. Brooks let Dani go once before, convinced it was for the best, but walking away from her a second time feels impossible… especially after he finds out she’s carrying his baby.

The bigger the stakes, the harder the fall—and this time, love might be the curveball neither of them saw coming.

Addicted to Glove is the third book in the Rose City Roasters baseball series. This age gap, surprise pregnancy romance between a tatted-up, bisexual goth girl and a broody, vegan daddy (in all manners of the word) features sneaky sex, gratuitous baking content, sensual leg shaving, an almost entirely LGBTQIA+ supporting cast of characters, a girl gang that plays Dungeons & Dragons, and men who cuddle cats.

  1. Hi! Just responded to the request for ARC readers. I said on the form that I agreed to the review policy, though I couldn’t find it anywhere to give it a read through. I imagine it is like most others concerning things like nondisclosure, spoilers, not sharing the ARC, etc. I’m looking forward to this novel!
