Review: Fastball not as fast as its title
Rating: 3 out of 5

The story and the characters just didn't seem to ring true. It was an okay read, but nothing I would recommend to others.Maddie the strong female lead was a bit of a pushover when she threw out the rules so quickly for an affair with a player. But when faced with a life threatening situation, her morals wouldn't budge. I found this a little hard to believe. Jake, who doesn't go in for casual sex because of celebrity, finds himself immediately wanting sex with a sports reporter. I also thought as hard as he fought to get back to the majors, he would not be so stupid as to break the law to help a teammate. I felt the story line was flawed, but for a light read it was passable. Not good enough for me to go out and buy the series.
