Reese Torrin is the drummer for the local rock group, Facade.  Reese is a solitary man who does not believe in love after having grown up with an uncaring mother who taught him that real love does not exist.  Reese is a firm believer in the beauty of the one night stand.  He knows that there is not a single woman just for him, only a stream of forgettable ones. Melody has finally allowed herself a night out by reluctantly attending Brock’s hockey game.  Just her luck, she is seated near a gorgeous guy who has the nerve to criticize her brother’s abilities on the ice.  Reese is having a hard time forgetting the sexy tomboy from the game as he heads to Brock‘s after game party.  Imagine his surprise when Brock introduces him to Melody, his sister and the woman from the game.  Melody is surprised, and she reluctantly admits, pleased to meet Reese.  Just as they strike up a conversation, one of Brock’s teammates rushes up and tells Melody her dad has been in an accident.  Reese takes Melody to the hospital and from this point on their lives are connected.  Will Reese and Melody be able to break past their self imposed walls to find each other and the possibility of love? Sports Beats was a great contribution to Tonya Ramagos Heavy Metal series!  Melody is a sexy and beautiful woman who has shut off her emotional self because she has all she can handle with her family.  Reese is a good guy who simply does not believe in love.  He cares for and enjoys his friends and does not begrudge their relationships, he just knows there is not someone out there for him.  I enjoyed watching Reese and Melody interact and it is always so much fun to get a glimpse into past friend’s lives.  Tonya Ramagos knows how to write strong, sexy, and irresistible characters that run the emotional gamut!!  I love Tonya Ramagos and Sports Beats is another great addition to her series and I can hardly wait for the next one!
