Binding Arbitration by Elizabeth Marx Blog Tour Stop



Check out Cutters vs. Jocks!

On the idyllic campus of Indiana University, Little-Libby-Nobody runs into Band-Aid, All-American-Athlete, and fireworks explode. Libby and Aidan spiral into a collision course of love at first sight versus lust you can’t fight. As the game plays out and their affection grows, they soon realize that labels like cutters and jocks can’t keep them apart.

But when Libby and Aidan find themselves in trouble they have to confront the reality of where they each fit in the others’ world. Libby believes superstar jocks don’t take cutters to Rose Well House, in the center of campus, at midnight and pledge their undying devotion beneath its sparkling dome. And Band-Aid imagines there’s no place for a pregnant, small-town waitress in his bull-pen or the major leagues. What happens when worthy opponents refuse to play their hearts out?

Book Description:

Through the corridors of the Windy City’s criminal courts, single mother Libby Tucker knows exactly how far she’ll go to save her cancer-stricken son’s life. The undefeated defense attorney is prepared to take her fight all the way to the majors.

Circumstances force Libby to plead her case at the cleats of celebrity baseball player Banford Aidan Palowski, the man who discarded her at their college graduation. Libby has worked her backside bare for everything she’s attained, while Aidan has been indulged since he slid through the birth canal and landed in a pile of Gold Coast money. But helping Libby and living up to his biological duty could jeopardize the only thing the jock worships: his baseball career.

If baseball imitates life, Aidan admits his appears to be silver-plated peanuts, until an unexpected confrontation with the most spectacular prize that’s ever poured from a caramel corn box blindsides him. When he learns about his son’s desperate need, it pricks open the wound he’s carried since he abandoned Libby and the child.

All Libby wants is a little anonymous DNA, but Aidan has a magical umpire in his head who knows Libby’s a fateball right to the heart. When a six-year-old sage and a hippy priestess step onto the field, there’s more to settle between Libby and Aidan than heartache, redemption, and forgiveness.

MY REVIEW

5 OF 5 BASEBALL'S

I want to give FMB Tours a huge Thank you for allowing me to read an ARC copy of Binding Arbitration and being one of the blog tour stops. I have to say this author is totally brilliant and I am grateful to have read this book. As a mother you will do whatever it takes to make your child feel better. You will walk to the ends of the earth for your child and right now Libby Tucker will do anything to save her son from a disease that threatens to destroy him.

Abby Tucker is a single mother working as a defense lawyer. She is strong and tough and can handle anything that is until her son Cass get's sick and she finds out he has Leukemia. Exhausting all avenues to find a cure Libby has to come face to face with her past and Cass's father who is none other than the Aidan Palowski who is an up and coming major league baseball player. All she wants him to do is take a DNA test to see if his bone marrow is a match and he can save Cass from this Leukemia.

Aidan wants answers no he needs answers from Libby. As the two embark on this journey they both have one common goal and that is to find someone who can help Cass. Aidan is one of those guy characters where at first your not so keen on and then you love him to pieces and that is what happened with him. Aidan may have had everything handed to him but he does have a heart and his heart is willing to help out his son.

This is a must read heart wrenching story that will have you on the edge of your seats.Want to read a heart warming story of love and redemption this is the story for you!

Windy city writer, Elizabeth Marx, brings cosmopolitan life alive in her fiction—a blend of romance, fast-paced Chicago living, and a sprinkle of magical realism. In her past incarnation she was an interior designer, not a decorator, a designer, which basically means she has a piece of paper to prove that she knows how to match things, measure things and miraculously make mundane pieces of furniture appear to be masterpieces. Elizabeth says being an interior designer is one part shrink, one part marriage counselor and one part artist, skills eerily similar to those employed in writing.

Elizabeth grew up in Illinois, but has also lived in Texas and Florida. If she’s not pounding her head against the wall trying to get the words just right, you can find her at a softball field out in the boonies somewhere or sitting in the bleachers by a basketball court. Elizabeth resides with her husband, girls, and two cats who’ve spelled everyone into believing they’re really dogs.

Elizabeth has traveled extensively, but still says there’s no town like Chi Town.
