Pitchers and Catchers OoH My!!!

I made only one mistake when I read this book, I read part of it on a New York subway and let's just say that my raised discomfort made a short trip really hard. I suggest you buy the book but do your self the favor and read it at home and hopefully not alone.

HITS AND RUNS AND OUTS, OH MY!!

The reader reviews on this one got me going even more than the cover art did. If your into jocks, daddies or locker room action this is the book you've been looking for. The sex is hot, hot, hot. The story is easy to get through, (lets face it, we bought it for the sex), and the plot is reasonable. I can't wait for Hitman's next one. I hope it cummin' very soon!!!

HOT HOT HOT!

As a fan of T. Hitman's stories in the magazines MEN, FRESHMEN, TORSO, DUDE, and others, I was looking forward to reading his first novel -- but this really blew my socks off. This book is all about baseball and the men that play it. They weren't kidding when they called this an erotic novel. It's also a really smart one. Great story. Cliff hangers. Hot man sex. I've read really good reviews of this book, and have to agree. A must for fans of baseball and baseball players.

The Hitman keeps his large number of fans hot and bothered.

Hardball is the most Hot-Erotic book that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. And I do mean pleasure! It's a book I will pick up and read again, and again. Thank You again Hitman... Keep them coming!

Hitman gives an in-your-face look at real men together.

Every once in a while a writer comes along who paints a picture with his words, draws you into a story so real that you become part of it, and takes you for a ride that leaves you breathless, but smiling. T. Hitman is an author of that caliber. He weaves together encounters between real men, all-American jocks whose relationships form the basis of his sports novel, HARDBALL. Hitman's writing adds more than color and texture to the page. With amazing attention to detail, he wakes up the senses and invites the reader to enter into each scene he's creating. Lost in a bare chested embrace with a young rookie fresh off the field, we become intoxicated from the smells, stimulated by the sights and warmed with the heat of men being men together. We meet athletes who push themselves to the limit on the field, only to discover their greatest release comes with a buddy at the end of the day in a no-excuses-needed display of masculine affection. This is raw, sweaty, in-your-face action between guys who are just being guys. No runway models here; these boys are natural men who are at home with locker room smells and heavy duty workouts--alone and with each other.The quality of HARDBALL sets T. Hitman apart from other writers of men's fiction. This is no one-dimensional story, but rather a dynamic look what happens when the chemistry of a team is just right. Let Hitman take you through a season with the Top Socks and provide you with a story that you will savor for a long time. I wholeheartedly recommend HARDBALL!
