 I picked this book to read and review based on the cover alone, when I requested it there was no synopsis available but I am so glad I asked for it because The Devil in Denim is a baseball related story looking at a very different side of the game. This was a romance at its finest; an intriguing plot that had me wondering the outcome the whole time, some conflict but not so much it drags the book down and some sexy fun that caused a ruckus. To top it off a whole slew of very interesting and entertaining characters that added so much to an already excellent story. Melanie Scott is a new to me author but I am already anticipating the next book in this series. 
 Alex Winters knows the move he and his partners have made to acquire the New York Saints baseball team won't be popular with a lot of people but he knows they will be good for the team. What he doesn't count on is that Maggie Jameson, the previous owner's daughter, will be one of his biggest obstacles nor does he understand the intense attraction he feels towards her. I really kind of felt bad for Alex because all he wanted to do was own a team that he had loved for years and then when he realizes that the owner never shared his plans to sell with his daughter who intended to one day take over the team until the meeting where they sign the contracts and she's devastated. I also felt bad for Maggie who was blindsided by her father and felt that she was not only losing a job she'd wanted most of her life but a huge piece of her life as well. 
 Alex is one of those heroes that I love because he goes after what he wants, he makes decisions rationally, and he is so level headed even when people around him or not. I liked Maggie and I know we didn't see her at her best for most of the book because her life had been turned upside down. I was really thankful for her friends who were there to help her see all sides of a situation and to kind of give her a slap upside the head when she let her emotional side affect her business side. 
 There were several obstacles in the way of Alex and his team taking over the Saints and that made this book very interesting and entertaining to someone who loves the sport so much. While this was a large part of the book, we also get little glimpses of Alex's partners (their books will come out in the next year) and the growing connection between Alex and Maggie. There's someone from Maggie's past that also rears his ugly head to make waves which adds even more excitement to a very full story. 
 An outstanding plot, extremely likable characters, and some hot sexy lovin' made The Devil In Denim one fantastic story. I already have the release date of Angel in Armani on my calendar as I can't wait to see what happens next. 
 *One small reviewers note: Melanie Scott is Australian so there are a few instances in this book where she uses words or sayings that are not typical in America. It didn't take away from the story and because I read a lot of Aussie authors it didn't bother me but for someone isn't aware they might find this a bit strange.
