Spare Hearts by Dorothy F. Shaw - Book Review
Synopsis
Stuck in this dead-beat
town for too long, Candy Jameson is itching for some action. And the
magnetically sexy, Sterling Dey might just be her chance to get back in
the game . . . at least for a night. Soon the sparks flying between
Candy and Sterling ignite into a fiery encounter that scorches the
lanes. But when Sterling wants more than just one night with Candy,
she's not sure she's ready to bet her heart on a one-night stand. Former
professional bowling champion Sterling Dey wants to reclaim his title.
This sleepy alley in a small Texas town with no distractions is the
perfect place to practice-until Sterling lays his eyes-and more-on the
joint's sultry night manager. As attraction becomes more than desire and
the pins start stacking up against them, Candy and Sterling's future
may just come down to the roll of the ball.

My Review
Spare Hearts is a sweet,
romantic novella about a pro bowler and the down home country girl he
falls in love with. It's got sexy times, cute scenes, and a passion that
you can feel as you read it. There's Candy's passion for Sterling.
Sterling's passion for Candy. And Sterling's passion for bowling.
The characters are likeable, the plot flows nicely and isn't too fast or too slow, and I found the story to be very engaging and fun, overall. This was my first time reading anything by the author, and I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed the book.
I normally don't go out of my way to read romance novels, mostly because they all tend to have the same type of male character: alpha, muscular, a CEO billionaire/biker/military/rock star, and they feel sort of rushed. Spare Hearts has a Southern gentleman who is down-to-earth, and he just seems like a normal, everyday kind of guy.
I'd rate Spare Hearts a solid 4 stars. Definitely a great read!
