Eve is used to being the odd woman out. As the only girl on her school's baseball team, she knows exactly how to put sweaty, macho baseball players in their place, and she's focused on one thing and one thing only—being the best pitcher she can be.I have had the pleasure of reading several of Cozzo's book, and I thoroughly enjoyed them all. She has a knack for crafting beautiful storied laced with some pain, life lessons, and lots of love. I was so excited when I saw the synopsis for this book. A battle of sexes baseball style sounds like a a lot of fun to me. Add the tension that is bound to arise via their mutual attraction, and a romance that is bound to happen, and you have one happy reader in me.
But when a freak accident forces her high school to be absorbed by the neighboring town, Eve has to contend with a new group of guys who aren't used to having a woman on their team. And the new team's star pitcher, Jamie, has no interest in being ousted from his throne. He can't afford to give up his starting slot to a new pitcher—even worse, to a girl.
As the competition between Jamie and Eve starts to heat up, so does their attraction to each other. Can they keep their heads in the game, or will they end up getting played?

Oh God, I am getting such PITCH vibes from this! (Did you watch?)I hope it's a great read!
ReplyDeletePitch - RIP 😣
DeleteI bet this would be a fun springtime read, especially once baseball season is underway. I also agree with Verushka about the PITCH vibes, which is great for me because I loved that show and was so annoyed when it got cancelled.
ReplyDeleteThe cancellation of Pitch still makes me so angry. They always cancel all the shows I like. 😭
DeleteI have not read this author. I like the sound of this book tho. I hope you get a chance to read it.

I am a fan and have high hopes for thus one
DeleteEve automatically sounds like a strong character if she’s the only girl on the team... and is now willing to fight for the spot of the new team. Love a girl who is willing to stand up for herself!
ReplyDeleteRight? But it sounds like she needs to find some balance to, and enemies to more romances are always fun
DeleteThis one looks great! I haven't read any Carole Cozzo books yet I will need to check her out.
ReplyDeleteShe writes great contemporaries. I'm a fan.
DeleteI enjoyed the last book I read by Karole Cozzo, and this one sounds fun - hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI still need to get the last one. It looked really good.
DeleteThe book and the author are both new to me, and i do like the sounds of it too. Great pick.
ReplyDeleteI am a fan and am excited
DeleteThis one has the makings of a great girl-power book! I can't wait to see what you think of it.
ReplyDeleteI am all over a book with a strong female protagnist
DeleteLooks like a nice summer read. Hope you love it!
ReplyDeleteSummer reads are the best too
DeleteSeems like a fun, summery read! I haven't read anything by this author but I've seen her books around.

I like Cozzo's books, that's why I feel so confident that I will enjoy this one
DeleteYeah this one does sound really good, I completely agree. I'll bet the competition/ romance will be a lot of fun. :)
ReplyDeleteI am thinking it'll be that fun hate to more that I lurve
DeleteHmm, this one doesn't look like it's one I'd be interested in...
ReplyDeleteHere's our WOW: http://jennreneeread.blogspot.com/2018/02/waiting-on-wednesday-olivia-twist-by.html
I love contemporary romances, so it is a great fit for me
DeleteI don't read too many sports themed stories. But I can see why this one can be fun to read. :) ~Aleen
ReplyDeleteI don't watch or play any sports these days, but I love sports themed books
DeleteThis just made me miss Pitch and I will never get over that cancellation. Ginny Baker deserved better. I do like the sound of this one too.
ReplyDeleteThat is a cancellation I am so bitter about
DeleteThat is exactly what drew me to this book
ReplyDeleteEven though I'm not a big fan of contemporaries, I love this style of cover artwork! Plus, romance that features competition is usually a hit with me. 😊
ReplyDeleteMy love for contemporaries runs deep, and I think the conflict can play out in an incredible way via the competition.
DeleteMmmmm, baseball... I'm immediately reminded of Through to You by Lauren Barnholdt, which was one of my favorite YA contemporary novels of all time. Now I want to reread that one LOL. I hope you enjoy this book when you get the chance to read it, Sam!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend. =)
