Can you pinpoint a time in your life where you realized you are completely and utterly screwed?

I can. I got the dreaded phone call, the one every baseball player hopes and prays never comes.

I was traded. Yeah, that phone call.

Traded from my long time team of over ten years. And not just to any team, but my childhood rivals; the Chicago Rebels.

Completely and utterly screwed, right? Wrong. The trade was the least of my concerns.

I met a girl. Natalie. Man, she's perfect.

I swore I would never get involved with anyone during the season. Too complicated. But can you believe I have zero restraint when it comes to this girl? I couldn't get her out of my head and the more I talked to her, the more I realized I needed her in my life.

So what's the problem? Why am I screwed? Because, Natalie, the girl I can't stop crushing on, yeah . . . she's married.

At least, that's what I was told . . .

OMG!!!

With every book in this series I think each guy is my new favourite. After meeting Corey in Millie and Carson's book I though he was pretty sweet and then I read this book. OMG he more than just sweet. He is sweet, sexy, swoony and just about perfect. He goes through so much with his move back home. I still can't understand how the Rebel fans could be so mean.

I read this book in one sitting and totally loved it. I cannot recommend this book enough. Really - do yourself a favour and read this book. You won't regret it.

Cory Fricken Potter!

Reviewed in Australia on 14 March 2020

Format: Kindle Edition

When we first got snippets of Cory in The Dugout, I wanted to know more and more about him and right off the bat I was so happy with this book. Firstly, I love this cover and "Cory's" eyes! So hypnotising! I could stare at him forever, I think he is in a league of his own. As with the other editions in this series, there is the classic MQ humor that has you giggling in inappropriate times when reading it, but there is also more depth to these books with how the relationships play out. Cory and Natalie's story is very complexed with issues that they both bring into it.

Cory has never had a relationship before, preferring to concentrate solely on his career. He has spent so much time on and off the field perfecting his game that its not easy for him to separate and segregate his work and personal life. Natalie has had some experience with a long term partner and she also knows what it is like to be around a major league player, being her brother Jason is on the same team as Cory. What they have to sort out, is how to balance it all without dropping the ball. Homeplate is always the objective in the game and life and of course MQ swings us around the bases until this couple get a home run.

I admired Cory for his work ethic and determination to be the best first baseman on any team. Being traded half way through a season would be the pits but he held his head high with dignity . I enjoyed reading about the way this couple started out and along with everyone else, I was gutted when things started to turn into a curve ball for them. Cory was so attentive and commutative with Nat, she and I both revelled in his dirty mouth! Nat held her own, and had little, skimpy even, tricks she could play too to tempt our heavy hitter!

I am not sure if there are any more books to come in this series, but I am hoping so big time! There is Maddox Paige I am wanting to hear about, as well as Walker Rockwell from The Lineup. Both these guys have an interesting piece to say I am sure.

Cory Freaking Potter

Reviewed in Australia on 13 March 2020

Format: Kindle Edition

So I have to say that Cory has been one of my most favourite secondary characters in this series of stand-alones. I think in part because when we met Milly he was this super famous, successful athlete, yet he was still such a great brother. And every time we met him he was so straight and together I just loved him.

He was so solid and dependable. Then to get his story and discover he's always incredibly sweet just made me love him even more. But then Meghan had to go and throw in an overabundance of muscles, a "boss" cock, and some great dirty talking and I was done.

And Natalie was perfect for him. She was just as sweet and despite her ex making her doubt her self worth she was awesome. Plus she's Jason's sister so she's well versed in all the craziness. And with them all being connected we got a lot of the couples I have really enjoyed.

Now there was a bit of a twist in this story and I really wasn't happy with Cory for quite some time. But at the same time my heart broke for him and I completely understood why he was a huge dick. Luckily for me he pulled his head out and proved why I had fallen so hard for him in the first place.

This story really took me on this awesome roller-coaster ride. First I was teetering on the edge of overwhelming chemistry and attraction. Then I was riding high on some smoking hot sexy times. Before I plummeted into a vast array of emotions. And all along the journey I was laughing and smiling and possibly shedding a tear. I really enjoyed the ride and I can't wait to see if there are any more additions to this awesome series.

Funny and heart warming

Reviewed in Australia on 14 March 2020

Format: Kindle Edition

After playing for his longterm baseball team in Baltimore Cory is traded to the Chicago Rebel's a team where their players and fans are known for controversy and animosity when it comes to outsiders and especially lovers of their rival team The Chicago Bobcat's who Cory grew up a fan of. Attending an event for his new team mate and friends charity event he runs into a gorgeous girl who he is instantly enamored with, only problem is she just so happens to be married or so Cory is told

Natalie who is the sister of Jason Orson helps run his charity The Lineup. Recently divorced and encouraged by friends and family to get back out there and have some fun. She finds herself running into her brothers new teammate the one and only Cory Potter who is everything she could see herself wanting and more only problem is she is way out of his league or so she thinks

This story was so freaking adorable, heart warming, frustrating at times, funny, slow burn and oh so satisfying. I loved Cory so much. He was sweet, kind, gentle, caring and extremely respectful and attentive. Natalie really is related to Jason, they both have a similar sense of humor and can be awkward at times but you just can't help but fall in love with them

Cory and Natalie had amazing chemistry and their banter and ease of conversation and connection was a joy to experience. They both had their own insecurities, vulnerabilities and stress they were dealing with. They were not perfect and had their faults also but together they found a way to lean on each other and make things work though it was not always an easy road

I ABSOLUTELY loved all the scenes with the gang from the previous books especially every single time Jason was present. He is just as funny as ever and I'm still madly in love with him though now I'm also smitten with Cory who was the perfect swoon worthy hero in yet another enjoyable read from Meghan Quinn

Witty, funny, heartwarming

OMG!!! Not sure where to start...One word CORY. This book should be way more than 5 stars!!! Everyone needs a Cory, he’s sexy, witty, good looking, charming, sensitive, caring, romantic and so incredibly lovable. Natalie is funny, clever, gorgeous and trying to re build her life after her divorce. The minute these two meet you can see the sparks begging to fly and their chemistry is off the charts. Their journey will have you at the edge of your seat and let me tell you...for a romantic comedy it’ll make you shed a tear or two! This is a fantastically written book that I have no doubt you’ll love reading. It’s funny, witty, romantic, emotional and so much more. Thank you Meghan for another fantastic book.

An OK Read

Reviewed in the United States on 19 March 2020

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I've read all the books in this series and most of Meghan's other books. While I do enjoy them and have found them laugh out loud funny at times, there are parts to each story that mimic the other and have very similar themes. I didn't enjoy the character of Jason, by his mannerisms and over the top personality his character would have been m ore believable if he was gay. In fact, I think that story line would have been much more interesting if it followed that path. Also, the character of Natalie was grating. Yes, Cory was hot. we got it. And NO ONE talks about intimacy in SUCH DETAIL with friends/family. Some things are TMI!!! For the love of everything. This is present in EVERY book it and it's completely annoying. The plot was predictable and the fact that the fans hated Cory so much even though he was a stand out on his team was frustrating. Cory himself was annoying too - just go for what you want! Both characters were whiny and grating. Also, unlike most Meghan books, there wasn't any laugh out loud parts which was disappointing. I'm sure it will get many 5 stars because readers feel loyal to their favorite authors instead of being honest about story lines, characters, etc. 3 stars mean OK to me and that just what this book was. OK.

"Do I have heart eyes when she is around?"

Reviewed in the United States on 12 March 2020

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Cory Potter is “one of the hottest guys ever to walk the planet.” That simple, but accurate statement, sums up what you need to know about Meghan Quinn’s latest book, “The Trade.” Cory is a baseball legend, a perfect gentleman, and is very close to his family. He gives 100% to the game he loves even though he was unhappy with his new team. He has dedicated his life to baseball, treats his body like a temple and was thrown for a loop when he met Natalie. He never anticipated having such a deep connection with her. She definitely wasn’t in his plans, but sometimes love throws you a curveball.

Natalie was perfect for Cory because she came from a baseball family and understood the sacrifices players make during the season. Cory was lucky to have met someone as perfect for him as Natalie. She was sweet, beautiful, generous and her smile captured his soul from the moment they met. Thoughts of her consumed him, swirling around his mind, making him happy and wistful about the future. Cory never thought about retiring but Natalie would be the kind of woman to have by his side as he said goodbye to baseball and hello to a family, children and a life full of love. As much as Cory hated being traded, and as much as the new fans disliked him, being back home in Chicago brought Natalie to him, which made him a winner in the game of love.

CORY POTTER!!!

Reviewed in the United States on 12 March 2020

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I have been DYING for Cory F****ing Potter’s book, and finally, it’s here! Cory Potter is everything I thought he'd be and then some. I’m telling ya, every girl needs a Cory. He’s sexy, witty, good looking, charming, sensitive, caring, romantic and oh so incredibly lovable. Meghan Quinn did something so magical with his story and I could not have loved this story more. She weaved this amazing tale that had me in my feelings. The Trade is a heartwarming, hilarious, a frustrating but wonderful slow burn that is SO worth the wait and is everything I love about Meghan Quinn’s books!

Cory and Natalie. Ahhh, these two. I loved them! They were just wonderful together. Their amazing chemistry and their banter, the ease of their conversations, interactions and connection was a joy to experience. Both had their own insecurities, vulnerabilities and stresses they were dealing with. Neither were not perfect and had their own personal flaws but together they found a way to lean on each other and make things work, though the road it took to get there was not easy. l absolutely loved them together, everything about them just fits together perfectly.

With her signature and not to mention impeccable comedic skill, Meghan Quinn crafts another delightful and warm addition to this wonderful series. The Trade deserves all the love and all the stars. I am still smiling after reading Cory and Natalie’s story. Meghan once again proves why she's on my list of Top 5 go to authors. I am forever in love with Meghan Quinn's stories. Her words and storytelling never fail to entertain me and bring joy into my life. With every single book she writes, it just gets better and better. Thank you Meghan for another fantastic book. (And for bringing Cory Potter into our lives!)

CORY F'ING POTTER

Reviewed in the United States on 13 March 2020

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Cory Potter is back in Chicago, traded from the team he thought he was going to play his entire career with to the team he never wanted to play for, the Rebels. He’s trying to make the most of it, and when he meets a woman he can’t stop thinking about, he realizes maybe coming back home to Chicago won’t be all-bad. The problem, he soon realizes, is the girl he is pining for, is actually married…or so he was told.

Natalie helps run her brothers non-profit foundation. At a fundraiser, she meets the one and only Cory Potter. He’s very, VERY, easy on the eyes and has a great personality, oh and he’s also her brother’s new teammate. The two continually cross paths, and when the truth of Natalie’s situation comes to light, who knows what will happen next.

Hilarious. Swoon-worthy. Amazing. I said it before and I’ll say it again, Meghan Quinn is the queen of the rom-com. Seriously there were parts in this book that had me laughing so hard I was crying, but there were also gut-wrenching parts that had me close to tears too. ‘The Trade’ evoked all of the emotions from me. All. Of. Them. And catching up with Knox, Carson, and Jason was a freaking hoot. Jason Orson is hands down one of my all-time favorite Meghan Quinn characters. I love the back and forth between the guys and how they were so quick to include Cory in the fold. Cory is the type of guy you can’t help but love. He’s a hard worker, but he’s also so sweet and thoughtful. I also really loved Natalie, she was hilarious, and I loved watching her come out of her shell too. Just when I think she can’t top her last book, she writes a book like this that just blows everything out of the water. Keep these baseball boys coming!!

Cory Potter is THE BOSS!!

Reviewed in the United States on 15 March 2020

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I knew that as soon as we were introduced to Cory's character that he would turn out to be one of my favorite men in this series.. And DAMN do I love him so much!

Cory is a professional baseball player, and one of the best ones in the league, and all of a sudden he is being traded to his most hated team in the middle of the season. His new teammates don't like him, the fans boo him, and the media is constantly hounding and spreading malicious lies about him and his character. He's putting on a brave face, but all of this is starting to get to him.. And then he meets the light in his now dark world.

Natalie -- Jason's sister -- is a newly divorced thanks to philandering ass of a ex husband, and thanks to the cruel remarks he made excusing his infidelity, she's riddled with insecurities. When she first meets Cory she immediately likes him, but feels that she is completely out of his league .. But the more time they spend together, the more she realizes how truly right they are for one another. Their relationship is pure, beautiful, sexy, and everything else you can think of. They fall in love with each other very quickly, but it never felt rushed or forced. It was just so magical between them.. until the stress of Cory's career has him making the biggest mistake of his life.

My heart broke for both him and Natalie, and even though I understood him to a point, I hated how long he waited to make things right. But in the end he realized just how much Natalie was the only constant, good thing in his life, and is determined to never again make her question his love for her.

Natalie is such an amazing character. She's beautiful (but doesn't know it) is down to earth, hilarious, awkward, so adorable.. And just is so true to who she is. I cried along with her when she felt insecure, because it was so damn real. I'm so, so happy that her and Cory got their happy ever after!!! I so hope we get Maddox's book, too! I'm not ready to leave this series!

Meghan is definitely one of my favorite authors, and this is a must read series!! Go one click now!

4.5 stars for The Trade

Reviewed in the United States on 13 March 2020

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Once again, Meghan has dazzled me with her words. I’ve been itching to read Corey’s story and I am so delighted that he chose a smart, passionate, and realistic woman to give his heart to. This is truly what made me love him! It’s all about how the author builds connections around their characters and Meghan did their relationship justice!

The Trade was different than I expected. Probably because I was so used to laughing at some of the characters from previous books that I thought I would do the same here. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t disappointed in the slightest that this one was more emotional than the previous ones, I just wasn’t expecting it. I love books where I find myself surprised by the story line as I usually end up devouring them in one or two sittings because I’m so intrigued to see where the story goes; that’s what happened for me here! I was unexpectedly THRILLED and loved Corey and Natalie for who they were separate and together. Their romance is a slow burn for sure, but when the flames ignite it’s exquisite to watch.

Trust me, you won’t want to miss the Trade! This is another excellent novel by a very talented Meghan Quinn who always gives her readers what they want!

Total weakness for baseball players

Reviewed in the United States on 16 March 2020

First I gotta say I fell in love with Jason in The Line Up so if you haven't read that one yet you need to.
I loved getting to know Cory when reading Millie and Carson's story but his book tore me up. I loved Natalie and my heart breaks for Cory through out this book. I love baseball, I admit to being a hard core fan so parts were hard for me. I loved Cory and his work ethic, however I wanted to punch him a time or to. Natalie is stronger than she thinks she is, you feel that while reading. Again, I love Jason in this book too. I hope more books about these players are coming.

Finally Cory Potter's Book!

Reviewed in the United States on 13 March 2020

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This is a book you can read as a standalone, but if you want to know the history of the side characters, I'd recommend reading the author's previous books, The Locker Room, The Dugout and The Lineup previous to reading this book, especially The Lineup, as it's Jason's book and while he's a side character in this book, he steals every scene he's in, and still is one of the favorite characters of mine author Meghan Quinn has ever written.

If you have read those previous books, you will have heard of the famous Cory Potter and this is his book. And while he's every bit as amazing as you've heard about in the previous books, he's never had a real relationship before and that's to his detriment when he falls hard for Jason's sister Natalie. He decides to try for his first relationship right before Spring Training, which means he will be dealing with a brand new relationship becoming a long distance relationship. At the same time he's dealing with a mid-season trade to a team he grew up hating, where for the first time in his life, his reputation and stats aren't winning the respect of his new teammates and their fans hate him. Add in a brutal media campaign against him, and the pressure is becoming more than he can handle.

At the same time, Natalie is fresh from a divorce with a crushed self-esteem and not sure she wants to start a serious relationship. Cory Potter sure has his hands full with everything he's trying to juggle at once. Can he win over the team, fans and the girl? You'll have to read the book to find out! Definitely read this book because this is another 5 star read from author Meghan Quinn!

Also, as I mentioned previously, side character Jason stole every scene he was in. So much so, it made me want to re-read his book, The Lineup, which I'm now doing because I love Jason so much. If you share my taste in books, I know you'll love him too. Trust me, read The Lineup, then The Trade and you can thank me later. 5 out of 5 stars for The Trade!

Meghan Quinn knows how to please! She never lets the reader down and keeps coming up with stories that are different and all consuming! I need a Carson, Cory, Knox, Milly, Dottie, Natalie, & Emory all in my life. Now she introduces us to a few new characters that I can't wait to read about as well in the future! This book was all I could hope for with regards to Cory and his life. I do recommend reading the books in order as there are characters that pop up and you will want to know the backstory on them - it just makes the story all the more rewarding!

I've been waiting awhile for Cory's book and now that it's here it didn't disappoint. I absolutely loved him in Milly's story. This book was heartbreaking to read at times. Cory went through an emotional roller coaster from the beginning of the book all the way to the end. It reminded me how Carson shut down emotionally to get through a tough time. There were a few times that I actually laughed out loud but this book was more angst than comedy. Would definitely recommend and would re-read.

I won’t recap this sweet story because so many others have but I will say it’s one of my most favorite Meghan Quinn books ever. I thought The Dugout was amazing until I read The Trade. When Cory tells his sister that Natalie’s smile was the first thing he noticed, I was a goner...totally swoon-worthy! I loved the story of this couple and how they both found their way out of bad situations and walked a rocky path to find each other.
