*`Review: Legal Catch by ML Preston`*

Title: Legal Catch
Series: Tennessee Terrors #4
Author: M.L. Preston
Release Date: June 3, 2025

REVIEW:
4.5 Stars
Another winner in this multi author baseball series. I was hooked right from the beginning. Now I was with Tahlia on her neighbor in the beginning. I would have been pissed too. Jake proves both Tahlia and to me the reader there is so much more to this playboy ball player than his nighttime activities. I loved watching him woo Tahlia. One of the many things I liked about her was she didn't make it easy for him and his charm. Jake had to work for it for a change and you can see the maturity it lead to in Jake. I loved both their families so much. One of my favorite scenes is them all of them watching one of Jake's games. It's a slow burn with all the delicious tension. One thing that made Jake prime book boyfriend material is how he appreciates Tahlia for her and so supportive of her dreams. Can't get any better than that. The banter between these two right from their first meeting was another favorite part of mine. This book had the perfect combo of heart, humor, and slow burn heat. It was a book I was sad to finish because I didn't want it to end and say goodbye to these characters. 

BLURB:
He’s the star athlete who thrives on chaos. She’s the determined lawyer-in-training who craves order. They share a wall, a grudge, and absolutely no common ground… or so they think.

Tahlia Carter has one goal—pass the bar exam and launch her legal career. Living in a luxury condo was supposed to mean peace and quiet, the perfect environment to study. Instead, she’s stuck next door to Jake Reynolds, the Tennessee Terrors’ infuriatingly charming centerfielder who treats every night like a personal afterparty. The walls are thin, and so is her patience.

After one too many sleepless nights, Tahlia reaches her breaking point and confronts her loud, cocky neighbor. But instead of backing down, Jake doubles down—teasing her, tempting her, and challenging every rule she’s set for herself. When an unexpected act of chivalry turns into an impulsive invitation to his next game, Tahlia shocks them both by accepting.

What starts as a reluctant truce quickly spirals into something neither of them can ignore. The attraction is undeniable, the tension unbearable, and soon, their battles move from the walls between them to the spaces much closer.

She’s playing it safe. He’s playing to win. But when the game is love, will either of them follow the rules?

Legal Catch is the fifth book in a series with ten amazing authors about the Tennessee Terrors baseball team. All books have crossover characters but are standalone novels and can be read in any order.
