It's about more than getting to third base - It's about hitting a home run.

Jeff "The Terminator" Holder is the closer for the Texas Mustangs' baseball team, and revered throughout the Major League for throwing inside heat. His twin brother, Jason, the Mustang's catcher, leads the League in hits. They share a love of the game, as well as their identical DNA - but that's not all they share.

Pediatric Nurse Megan Long doesn't know baseball, but she does know a sexy guy when she sees one - or two. When she seeks out an autograph for one of her patients, she falls under the spell of two of the sexiest players in baseball. Unable to resist their charms, Megan finds herself in bed with both men, but falling in love with only one.

Locked in an epic battle against the steroid pumping Martin McCree, Jeff's obsession with striking out McCree strains his relationship with his brother, and leads to an injury that threatens his career and dents his ego. Megan does her best to get through to him, but if Jeff can't see past his failings to find the love she's offering, he's going to strike out in the
biggest game of his life.

As an author of ménage romance myself, I was keen to sample Roz Lee’s latest ménage a trois erotic romance, INSIDE HEAT, and boy, did she deliver a home run or three!

I loved INSIDE HEAT for many reasons – well-drawn and likeable characters (yep, made it to first base), an introduction to the fascinating world of baseball, where “inside heat” takes on a multitude of meanings (second base) plus sizzling M/F/M sex scenes (definitely third base).

So we’re sitting at third base right now, feeling hot and horny – what makes this one a home run?

Well, most of all, I loved Ms. Lee’s story because it offers more than simply a bit of hot ménage sex against a backdrop of professional baseball. Essentially, INSIDE HEAT crossed over from a piece of erotica into a true love story, and that’s what makes this one a home run, in my view.

Jeff and Jason Holder are stars of the Mustangs baseball team. Megan is a pediatric nurse who meets the famous twins when she seeks an autograph for one of her patients. Their developing ménage liaison moves from physical gratification to a full committed relationship in a way that is believable despite Megan’s misgivings. But when the balance of attraction shifts to a situation where one or more of these very real characters might miss out on their Happy Ever After, the story takes on a more subtle and complex layer.

Ms. Lee has created three protagonists who all – to differing degrees – find their hearts engaged and at risk of being broken.

INSIDE HEAT delivers everything an erotic romance needs to make it all the way home, with an emotion-packed love story in which the Happy Ever After is not necessarily a given.

I look forward to the next volume in the MUSTANGS BASEBALL series.

Man oh man I’m going to admit it would be very hard to turn down the offer made to the heroine in Roz Lee’s Inside Heat. Twin professional baseball players who both want to get to know you better in every way possible, what would you do? Such is the dilemma for the heroine who agrees even though from the minute she met one brother she felt a pull she wanted to deny but couldn’t. I very much enjoyed this realistic look into a ménage or polyamorous relationship. This book takes a long look at the implications of this relationship on all parties involved and why it is so necessary to communicate effectively. Sexy as all get out, with a believable plot, and an ending that satisfies; Inside Heat is as good as the third out in game 7 of the World Series when you team is winning (not that I’ve had the feeling, but I can dream)!

When Megan sets out to obtain the autograph of the Mustang’s ace pitcher for one of her patients, she never expects to instead find an invitation to dinner written on the program and she certainly has no idea how much her life is going to change. Jeff can’t take his eyes off the beautiful woman standing by the sidelines waiting for his autograph, so he takes a risk only to realize later she thinks he’s scum because of it. Making up for it in a big way and including his equally famous brother has him scoring some major points and while he and his twin, Jason, are sure about what they want convincing Megan is a whole other story.

I really loved this book from start to finish even when the characters were at odds, or when one or both men were being jerks, or when Megan was being stubborn they were just so likeable I found it hard not to get completely wrapped up in their story. There is no denying what Jeff and Jason want from Megan is unusual and I give Megan credit for taking some time to decide instead of just jumping in blindly. Yes, the three of them worked but it was also very evident that both Jeff and Megan felt something more for one another very early on.

Here’s where I give big kudos to author Roz Lee; anyone who reads erotic romance with ménage has to know that for every one relationship that works permanently there are 3 or more that don’t. I’m not trying to burst anyone’s bubble, just being realistic. I love that Ms. Lee showed us that while this type of relationship worked for awhile, in the long run they all wanted something different. She did a wonderful job of showing the jealously (even when it sometimes wasn’t warranted), the emotional battles, the hurt feelings, and the love between all three of them even though the love was a different love between two of the people involved. There were many very emotional scenes and some weren’t pretty, however I do think they rang very true.

In addition to this intricate love story, the Mustangs were trying to make the playoffs, Megan was dealing with some heavy issues at work, and a career threatening injury all gave these three more than enough to try and handle and worry about.

I know this sounds like this book might be a downer, but in reality it’s not. Yes, there are times the outcome looks bleak, however when it’s all said and done everyone goes home a winner. Roz Lee hit it out of the park with this book and made me a Mustangs fan for life!

This book came recommended by a friend, and Ay Caramba! What a book! I thought I had read great sexy writing before...nope. What can I say: Hot sexy identical baseball players Jeff and Jason Holder fall for the same woman, and ask her to move in with them -- to be with both of them because they want to share her...in EVERY way...

Let's see...me, a mansion, with indoor pool, and twins...hmmm.

So Meagan moves in with the guys, and they have all kinds of fun involving the indoor, pool, whip cream, silk ties, appliances, the sky is the limit!

wow. Just wow. The book was amazing. Her experience is what dreams are made of. They're both sweet, loving, fun, caring,

And then the author loses me. Meagan feels this mysterious connection to Jeff, and falls in love with him. Way to ruin things Meagan!

And that's when the author lost me. From then, it's just a bunch of miscommunication - no one talks to each other, they just assume things, therefore creating more friction -- and not the good kind either -- misunderstanding, blah blah, and the book goes from fun to a love story of sorts.
IMO I didn't see anything wrong with Meagan loving both of them, and them loving her back. Actually, It would have made a really unique and fun love story HEA all the way around. After all both brothers had very different personalities. And the fun, ah, the fun they could have continue to have together. Over now because the book ended in a traditional monogamous HEA. Which might sound weird but their relationship was Monogamous. They didn't see anyone else and Meagan didn't either...anywho I highly recommend this read, just wished it ended differently.

What would you do if two hot men wanted to make you theirs? That's the question that Megan has to answer, and let's face it, it's not your average question. But then again there is nothing average about the Holder boys!

I liked the fact that Megan took a bit of time to really think things over. She didn't jump into the deep end, she kind of waded in, which made everything more real. I have read a lot of books with this premise but not many that dealt with having stronger feelings for one partner and dealing with the jealousy and the fall out if three become two.

Let's talk about the sex BABY! Whew, let me just say that this story is NSFW! Sometimes when you are dealing with multiple partners it can get confusing and I get sidetracked about where so and so's arm was and how did it get there, but the author does a great job of keeping it simple and hot as hell! Considering that sex is the foundation for the relationship I thought there was a nice balance of sexy time and everyday time.

There is not a lot of secondary interaction with other character's other than the game which is such an integral part of the story that it became a character. You can tell that Ms. Lee has spent a lot of time around baseball and took the time to get the dynamics, especially between a pitcher and catcher correct. As someone who has spent her fair share of time around the game I appreciated that.

This book has something for everyone, a great story, hot sex, baseball, and in the end a true love story!

Roz Lee has hit a home run with this one. I LOVED this book! It's a fabulous love story with a background setting of baseball. I though Roz Lee did a great job with 'situation' she set up and how the character's realized their destiny. I hope there are more Mustang books coming because I want to get a front row seat at the stadium...and you can bet I'm buying a program!

The story was a 4 star read until about halfway through when the storyline took a sharp turn and derailed. We had a great menage story then all of a sudden jealousy, self doubt and insecurities all joined in. All three characters suddenly lost the ability to talk to one another and I lost interest.

(four-star review written by Talina Perkins for Night Owl Reviews)

Plot & Characters:
Inside Heat is a red-hot page turner! Sizzling with hot menage love scenes and layered with emotional grit, there's not a page in the book that doesn't deliver a sinful sigh of pleasure or a pull of the heart strings.

Ms. Roz Lee has written a wonderful tale filled with all the adrenaline rushes baseball has to give while never missing a beat with the romance building between the main characters Jason, Jeff and Megan. While we get an inside view of how the game is played through the Author's extensive knowledge of the game, we also get a deeper look into the life of a pediatric nurse. Caring for sick children is never easy and we see the toll it takes on Megan. Forced into building a wall around her heart in order to protect it has allowed her to continue working in her profession, but it has also caused her a life of solitude where she is unable to open up to the possibility of love. Jeff and Jason are prepared to change that for her, if maybe not to love, but at least allow someone to care for her.

The road is a bumpy one that takes us through a baseball season with the Mustangs team. Forced to hide their relationship, all three maintain a certain distance in public that causes tension to the story. And the author pulled a fast one on me when a certain twist developed between Megan and one of her lovers. I was on the fence about it when the clues popped out as I progressed into the story. I wanted it not to be true but I saw the logic as I got closer to the end. Now I can't wait for the second installment to the Mustang Baseball series to see who the mystery character is!

Writing:
Inside Heat is a self-published book with good editing. One to always deliver quality writing, Roz Lee knows how to entertain readers with a compelling romance and excellent attention to detail that brings her stories to life.

Summary:
Inside Heat is a sizzling romance with a delicious abundance of sexy baseball players that will take your heart away before you know it! Ms. Lee, author of the Lothario series, has been a favorite of mine since her debut release and she continuously delivers the books I love to read!

Inside Heat by Roz Lee
5 Hot Stars!!
I’m still fanning myself after reading this book! I loved the plot and the execution of this story.
What would you do if you had two totally hot men who wanted you? Some women might be turned off of that, I, however find that charming and to be quite honest, sexy. Apparently, pediatric nurse Megan Long, agrees with me.
The best part about the book (or worst if you want to be pessimistic about it), I fell in love with both Holder boys. Which was actually very surprising to me. Usually when I’m reading a book I can pick up right away who is going to be “my” guy. But, this author really made me work for it. I wanted both men to have her. No, I don’t mean her body because let’s face it, we all know she gets that. How lucky is she!?
As for Megan’s character, I loved her. She was very smart and headstrong – two things I love in a heroine. I also liked that she took time thinking about some very important decisions before making a rash choice, she was very realistic and at times I could see a little of myself in her.
For the Holder twins, I am fairly certain I am going on a man hunt tomorrow with these specific qualities because holy heck batman! Roz Lee knows how to write book boyfriends!
Aside from how hot, heavy and completely tasteful the way the sexy scenes were written, I am very impressed with this author’s work. Not only did Lee give us an erotic story, but she gave us something real. Characters with real feelings that get hurt and hearts that get broken, instead of your usual happy go lucky story. I found it very hard to put this book down the second I picked it up. I have not read any of Lee’s books before this but I will definitely be a repeat reader. Thank you so much for giving us this story!

Sweet ménage. Pediatric nurse Megan takes the day off to go to the ball field to get an autograph for a sick little boy. He didn’t bother to tell her that Jeff “The Terminator” Holder was smokin’ hot and a twin. She waits with all the other anxious kids to get her autograph and when she does its accompanied by an invitation to dine. She can’t give that to the sick little boy so she meets with Jeff to give him a piece of her mind and get another autograph for the little boy. Jeff is intrigued by the passionate nurse and makes it right. He goes one better when he and his twin Jason (also a ballplayer) show up at the hospital the next day and visit with the sick kids. Megan works too hard and hasn’t had much time for a social life. Jeff does it for her. The twins are fascinated that Megan can always tell them apart. They proposition her with joining them both in bed and she figures it is better that way than doing without so she goes for it and the sex is fabulous. They guys push for long term and then things get sticky. Jealousy and lack of communication abound before the HEA. m/f/m

This book started out so well but by the last third it just lost momentum. This is about two brothers, twins and profession baseball players, that find a special girl and want to share her in a sexual relationship. Yep, I was interested. Ms. Lee writing is good but I think she went into too much detail about baseball. However, I did enjoy being inside Jeff and Jason's head while they were focusing on the game. Humorous to see how they talked to themselves.

The first few ménage scenes were very good. I thought Jeff and Jason were awesome as a team. I do not know if I will read Jason's story. I cannot put my finger on what was missing in this story. There were some opportunities for her to ramp up the story but it just flattened out instead. Megan, Jason and Jeff did not work out because Megan and Jeff fell in love while Jason moved on. There was some lack of communication between the three that caused some angst. I got a little tired of Jeff and his anger and jealousy at his brother. I mean, come on, the boys had been sharing since college at the least. There is an HEA for Megan and Jeff.

Megan is a pediatric nurse who knows nothing about baseball, but is determined to score an autograph from baseball pitching ace Jeff Holder for a young patient.

This is only the beginning of the scoring, because Jeff's identical twin Jason is also a star catcher. They live together, in a very fancy - and very private estate, and BOTH are interested in Megan as a lover, whenever the team is playing at home. Talking about taking one for the team!

If baseball and sex are among your favorite sports, you will LOVE this book. Smokin' hot menage, and more than that, a true romance. In the end, Megan realizes that while she loves both men, she's only IN love with one of them. But does he love her back? And what about the other twin, the one she's not in love with - but who may be in love with her? Will this trio end with a pair of winners, or three losers? Will either/both men put their careers on the line? It was not just the hot sex, but the emotional exploration that I found so compelling. LOVED this book; can't wait for the sequel.

I like baseball romances and am confident that this hawt book earned a five star review. Jeff and Megan and are star crossed lovers with a strong connection from the first chapter. Jeff is so wrapped up in baseball and the steroid scandal and the brother he shares women with. I loved this book so much, I read the others by Roz Lee as well. And, they were just as good if not better.

I highly recommend this book, and its follow up books.

Jeff and Jason Holder are baseball hot shots. Megan is a pediatric nurse. Megan starts a relationship with the Holders after going to meet them for a patient. Jeff and Jason live together and have always shared women. In fact, they built a house designed with that in mind. I can only imagine TWO hot baseball studs at my disposal. Talk about fantasy.

The book is rather long, and does drag toward then end. In fact, there is a secondary story line about steroid use that is interesting and carries over to Jason's book. Great book, great series.

A hot, sweet menage. I had some difficulty in the beginning and didn't connect to the characters well. Not sure why but I think it was because they sort of jumped into the menage so quickly that I felt like I was playing catch up. One minute they are meeting and then bam! everybody jump into the bed! I have to give the author credit - she wrote very distinct personalities for Jeff and Jason. I actually liked Jeff more than Jason. I almost DNFed but it got better by the second half. The baseball descriptions were fascinating. NOW I know what Tommy John surgery is after having heard about it for years. You can tell the author knows her baseball. Will continue to read others and definitely want the next in the series.

I read this as part of a challenge. It's always interesting to me when the book cover doesn't quite tell the story. That's not to say this book wasn't about a hot baseball player... but it was about two hot baseball players -- twins! Imagine my (pleasant) surprise. :-) In this one, however, the woman is drawn to one of the men more than the other, and that man has really strong feelings for her as well. But since nobody communicates in this one, lol, they all make lots of wrong assumptions. Except the brother she's not in love with... he figures it out and extracts himself from their relationship. Which causes more wrong assumptions to be made. It finally worked out, but Jeff is really lucky Megan loved him enough to work through his problems.

I began reading this book because started out as a menage read but it turned into something else entirely. I think it jarred me that the heroine went from both brothers to just the one brother and I didn’t quite catch it until I was thinking I’d quit on the book. Ultimately I liked the story but it didn’t end up the direction I wanted it to. I can’t fault the author for writing what her visions gave her, though. My only quibble is the speedy nature that the three decided to be together in the first place. It wasn’t well enough supported by the magic of the twin bond the hero and his sibling shared nor some other “love at first sight even though we don’t know it” magic.

Megan is just trying to get a baseball player's autograph for one of the kids in the hospital where she works but instead ends up with a pick up line. Annoyed but flattered she goes to confront him and there begins her relationship with twins Jason and Jeff. An unconventional relationship that changes and evolves repeatedly over time.
I actually liked how she was behaving at the end, not being delusional and thinking some things wouldnt hinder them. But still a HEA. Cant wait to see what child like Jason has in store for him.

What's not to love about this book? The book opens with pediatric nurse Megan meeting star relief pitcher at the ball park when she gets his autograph for a sick patient. Instant attraction occurs with a proposition for an exclusive relationship with the pitcher Jeff and his twin brother Jason, who is also the catcher on the team. She moves in, the relationship dynamics begin to shift, misunderstandings and jealousy occur. I could hardly put this book down. Will definitely keep reading this series.

description

I like a good menage, but unfortunately, this is just not a good menage. Megan is such an annoying heroine. It's like she can't understand a single word Jeff and Jason say to her. She constantly asks what the men are expecting with the relationship, and they tell her they're looking for someone to share their lives with, and she's cool for about 5 seconds. Then in the next chapter, she's like "OMG they only want sex. I can't give up my career to be their sex toy!"

Where is she getting this from??!!! Girl is a nutjob with comprehension issues.

That's basically the "drama" for the first half of the book. She comes over and does some sexy times, then she gets worried about their expectations and leaves, rinse and repeat.

Then the book skips ahead a few months, and Megan finally goes to one of the guys' games, but thinks everyone is judging her and can tell she's banging both brothers, so she leaves. Then they meet at home, have sex, and she says in her inner monologue that she is in love with Jeff....but not Jason.

Nah, I'm done. There's no relationship here, and Megan is just awful.

There is more than just great baseball going on with twins Jason and Jeff. Not only do they share the accolades of being on a winning baseball team but they also share their love of satisfying woman together. When Megan, a pediatric nurse needs to get an autograph for a sick child she becomes more than the object of their desires. But what happens when the affection she shares with Jeff becomes more than what she has with Jacob? Can the triad work through the feelings and figure out the way to keep everyone happy? Or will hurt feeling ruin what they have shared together? Love, Love, Loved this book and I am so looking forward to more in the series.

Paediatric nurse Megan meets the Terminator Jeff Holder as she goes to get an autograph for a sick patient. Jeff takes one look at Megan and instead of an autograph he asks her to dinner. Things get complicated when Jeff introduces Megan to his identical twin brother Jason. From the start she can tell the brothers apart even when blindfolded. Quickly the become a secret ménage and until some unexpected complications things progress with a few misunderstandings. They eventually split up only to come back stronger without Jason. Heartwarming and touching characters and many aww moments to tug at your heart.

3.5-4 stars

This was a pretty good story. I liked Megan, Jeff and Jason and although there was some drama and painful moments I really liked the way things turned out. This is the first story I've read by this author and I liked it well enough that I may try more of her work in the future.

Megan is a pediatric nurse and a very sweet woman with a big heart. She knew from the time she was 14 years old that she wanted to be a nurse and put a lot of time and effort into reaching her goals. She loves working with the kids but sometimes the stress can get her down. Unfortunately her hectic schedule as a nurse doesn't give her much of a chance to date.

Jeff and Jason are twins. They grew up wanting to be baseball stars and worked hard to get there. Now they're both on the Mustang's baseball team, Jason is the catcher and Jeff and a pitcher. They're both on the top of their games and are looking to get better. They frequently share women but have never been involved with anyone seriously.

Megan has a patient that's a big baseball fan. His favorite player if Jeff so Megan takes her one day off for the week (forgoing all the mundane tasks she needs to take care of) in order to go to a baseball game to get Jeff's signature. She's happy when he takes notice of her and signs her program but not so happy when she looks at it later and found that he didn't leave his autograph but instead asked her to meet him for dinner. Megan is pissed off and goes to dinner just to get the autograph. Jeff, not realizing how much trouble and drama he caused her, doesn't understand why she's so upset. Once she explains the situation, Jeff offers to get her patient an autographed item of Mustang's sports memorabilia from a sports store down the road if she'll first have dinner with him. She does and they end up spending a very pleasant dinner together and then go get a glove for Jeff to autograph. Not wanting their association to end there, Jeff offers to come to the hospital the next day to see her patient and Megan happily agrees. She's surprised the next day to find that Jeff and his twin, Jason, both showed up to spend time with the kids in her ward. Megan can automatically tell them apart and although she seems to have a connection with Jeff, she's attracted to both of them strongly.

Jeff and Jason are both attracted to Megan and take her out to dinner. They pretty much proposition her, asking her to get involved with them both in a friendly relationship where they'd have sex and be involved exclusively as a threesome but there's no supposed to be any emotions in it and no determined length of time it's supposed to go on. Megan isn't sure but after a bit of thinking (and convincing by the guys) she decides to go for it. Things skim forward in the story and the threesome has been going on for a while (a year or 2) but things are changing...Jason is still involved but he's feeling like the third wheel and realizes some things will need to change. There's some drama due to a lack of communication and some stress and issues that Jeff is facing in his career is causing the situation to worsen. Jason and Megan try to help but in his stress and misery Jeff won't listen or see what's really going on. The stress that's been building ends up exploding and look really bad for a while. Thankfully, Jeff get his head out of dark recesses and realizes he behaved like an idiot while he suffered his extended bouts of relationship dumbassedness. With some time and grovelling, Jeff manages to get Megan to forgive him and give him another chance and they end the story beginning on their HEA together.

I enjoyed this story a lot. To be honest, I went in knowing from the blurb that it started out as a m/f/m going down to a m/f and I wasn't sure if I'd like that but the way it was done worked because when Jason ducked out of the threesome it didn't leave hard feelings or leave me wishing he was still in the relationship (which surprised me). Megan was great and I liked Jeff as well outside of his idiocy (which could have been easily solved if he'd have talked about things at all). I liked Jason as well and will probably read the next book in the series to see how things go for him. Overall, I liked this story and would recommend it. :D

Vikki’s Musings

I met Roz Lee at a conference several years ago. Until recently, I had not read any of her books, since I do not normally enjoy sports romances. After talking to her again at Lori Foster’s RAGT15, I decided to give one of her books a read. I chose Free Agent and enjoyed it a great deal, so I bought Inside Heat since it is the first book in the Mustangs Baseball series. I thoroughly enjoy it.

Pediatric nurse, Megan Long will go to any lengths for her patient. The boy’s hero is Jeff Holder, the relief pitcher for the Mustangs and known as “The Terminator.” She attends a game to get his autograph for her patient. All does not go as planned because when she reads what he signs on the program would not be something she could give to Christopher, her young friend.

When Jeff Holder meets Megan’s brown-eyed gaze, he is immediately attracted to her, so when he signs her program, he asks her to meet him at a restaurant after the game. He hopes she will take him up on his offer.

When Megan arrives at the restaurant, she is expecting to meet an igotistical, arrogant man, but when she huffily explains why she wanted the autograph, Jeff immediately apologizes. He has her meet him at a sporting goods store down the street and has her pick up whatever she wants for her patient. He goes all out to make sure the little boy gets his autograph in a big way and even comes to the hospital the next day with his twin brother.

When the pair tells her what they want, Megan hesitates, but what red-blooded woman hasn’t dreamed of being with two hot guys? While sexually drawn to both men, she feels an immediate emotional connection with Jeff. Can the pair overcome the beginnings of their time together and find the love both of them crave, or will Jeff’s pig-headedness drive them apart?

Ms. Lee’s writing style is edgy with some grit thrown in. Her characters are interesting and the romance is fulfilling. I also found her love scenes extremely hot and very well-written with plenty of emotion along with the hot sex.

Megan Long is a great heroine. I liked her immediately because of her love and care of the children in her care. While she is not what I call a strong-willed female, she has a certain line she will not cross when it comes to her relationship with Jeff and Jason. While some of her decisions created a great deal of emotional pain for her, she was not deterred when she considered what was best for her. Her relationship is a bit complicated with Jeff and Jason to say the least.

While Jason Holder is part of the love triangle in the story, Jeff Holder is the hero. I had a bit of trouble with his character. At times, I wanted to hit him over the head for his stupidity. His internal battle was wrapped around jealousy that in my mind was unfounded. It was clear from the onset of the story that Megan was in love with him, not his brother.

This is a great read for sports fan because the details regarding the life of a pro ballplayer are excellent. It is obvious Ms. Lee has done her research. If you enjoy a well-written manage relationship with some interesting twist, then you will love Inside Heat. Happy reading!

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a relationship with two hot baseball players who also happen to be identical twins?

Megan Long is a pediatric nurse who works in a ward with critically ill children. She meets Jeff Holder, the closing pitcher for the Texas Mustangs’ baseball team, when she asks for his autograph. One of the kids in the hospital loves the Mustangs and she knows the autograph will help with his rehabilitation. Jeff’s identical twin brother Jason is also with the Mustangs and is the team’s catcher. The twins live together and share everything, including women. When they meet Megan, the twins are attracted to her looks and sweet personality and they ask her to move in with them. Their offer takes Megan by surprise.

The twins are both nice guys, but they each have their own distinctive personality. They treat Megan with respect and thoughtfulness and Megan’s pleasure is always the most important thing to them. Their encounters together are sizzling hot. Megan is a strong independent woman and dedicated to her job. When she first meets the twins, she knows nothing about baseball, but she learns to love the game.

INSIDE HEAT is a fast paced erotic romance. This is the first book in the Mustangs baseball series and each book is a stand-alone. Roz Lee has written an interesting, erotic story, revolving around the world of baseball. I enjoyed the dynamics between Megan, Jeff and Jason and the way their relationship evolved over time. Is it possible for three people to have a long term relationship?

Fun, sexy read. You can take me out to this ballgame! Megan Long is a pediatric nurse who goes to the ballpark where the Mustangs are playing, to get an autograph from star pitcher Jeff Holder for one of her patients. Instead of an autograph she gets an invitation to join him for dinner after the game. Annoyed, she shows up to give him a piece of her mind and to get his signature for real this time. He offers to get some Mustang gear for her patient and to show up the hospital the next day to meet her patient. When Jeff goes to the hospital the next day, his twin brother, Mustang catcher Jason, shows up as well. Both men are gorgeous and end up inviting Megan to be the filling of their man sandwich (I guess that would be a manwich?)

All goes well for awhile, but when Jeff goes up against a hitter that is using steroids he becomes obsessed with trying to beat him, and the relationship between the three starts to suffer. Also, Megan realizes she has deeper feelings for one of the brothers.

This book is a fun summer read. Unlike so many erotic romances that are just one sex scene after the other, this book has more going on with the characters (but it's got the sexy parts as well!)
