3.5 starsThis was an enjoyable read. I really enjoy sports romances and while football is my favorite baseball is a close second. This was an engaging story and I really enjoyed the look into the clubhouse and the mind of a pitcher when what’s going on outside starts to effect what happens on the mound.There is great chemistry between Karen and Jerry and I enjoyed many of their interactions but as their relationship began to grow I found a lot of their responses very immature for people in their 30’s (especially Karen, I really didn’t like her there for a while). They decided to have a friends with benefits arrangement but it seemed like they had a lot of difficulty with the friends part. For the most part I enjoyed Karen’s snarky sense of humor but all the pushing away got really old after a while. I loved Jerry though; he saved the book for me. I loved getting a glimpse into his head and although he didn’t always know what he wanted from Karen or how to articulate it I still found him very endearing.This is an engaging sports romance with a fair amount of angst; if that’s your thing you should give this one a try. If you don’t like angst or too much sport in your sports romances this might not be the one for you. I received an ARC from the publisher through Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.
