Review: Flat out fantastic!

I love books that surround baseball, I'm a baseball nut so this book and this series is right up my alley.  That being said, even if it wasn't centered around a baseball player this is an outstanding book.  I loved that the heroine(Sonny) is a single mom and older than the hero (JP).  I like that she didn't make it easy for a man who has pretty much had it easy his whole life (this was confirmed by his brother and teammates).  I also very much appreciated that the JP realizes early on that Sonny and her son, Charlie are a package deal and that he has to tread carefully.  JP showed a great maturity in some areas for his age of 26 and yes, he is a little full of himself, sometimes doesn't think about how his actions affect others but he also comes across as caring, sensitive, and loving.  There were times when Sonny flat out drove me nuts and to be honest she was lucky that JP loved her so much because she really pushed him a lot but she did warn him about her issues and he said he was up for the task.  I must say that Charlie was a great character and I warmed my heart to see the bond growing between him and JP.  This is one of those feel good stories but you'll run the gambit of emotions while reading it.  I can't say enough good things about this book and I'm already looking forward to the next one in the series!
