After an unexpected twist of fate, All-Star catcher Easton Wylder is left questioning the loyalty of everyone around him.
Even the woman who shares his bed, Scout Dalton.
But if Easton thought being uprooted to the last place he expected was the only challenge life had to throw at him, he was dead wrong.
With an ailing shoulder and his career in limbo, his decision to make an unexpected change leads him to question everything – Scout’s love, family loyalties, and whether he can conquer the one obstacle he’s never been able to overcome. The secret he’s never shared with anyone.
He may be a man pushed to his limits, but he’s hell-bent on proving his worth no matter the cost.
I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
I never wanted this story to end! I was entrenched in this story from the very beginning. It picked up right where The Player left off and had me reeling. I had no idea what I would be feeling from one page to the next. I cried more in this book than any other I’ve read. Tears of joy, tears of sympathy, tears of pain…. all the freaking tears!
“It’s just him. And me. And everything left unspoken.”
I honestly have never found a heroine that I have connected to like I have with Scout. Like Scout, I spent my childhood around the diamond, nights weekends, practicing at home. I have the same sense of family duty as Scout does and I felt her pain like it was my pain.
“I want you. All of you. Your flaws. Your mistakes. Your shortcomings. Your love.”
Goodness gracious, the tragedies Easton has faced along with the flaws he harbors just make this man more lovable than I thought possible. He evoked such emotion from me, one moment I wanted to throw my Kindle and yell at him the next I wanted to hold him and stroke his hair and let him know that everything will be alright in the end.
“The first time we went to my place, you stuck a bookmark in my heart and then you ran away.”
Scout and Easton couldn’t have been a better match for each other, and I found their story so epic. They have set a new standard for what love should be in a romance novel. They showed us that even when life throws you a curve ball you just get up and keep swinging for the fences. This sports romance is the best I have ever read, the game was accurately described as well as the language used was exactly as it should be and I couldn’t have been happier about it. There is nothing more disappointing than reading a sports romance that doesn’t stay true to the sport.
This will be a story one I will come back to over and over again. Definitely a top read of the year!
Make sure you read my review of The Player!
