Summary:Libby is a local college co-ed on the Indiana University campus. There she meets college baseball star, Aiden. They immediately realize they have a connection. Aiden tries to persuade Libby into have a deeper relationship, but Libby's past prevents her from trusting Aiden. Not to mention the fact that the college kids don't date the locals. After a year of fighting their attraction, Libby gives in to Aiden. However, the question remains: Is it possible for the local waitress to fit in with his life once Aiden heads to the big leagues?My Take:This story hits home for me on a few personal levels, so naturally I loved it! I don't always read prequels, but this one appealed to me and I feel is necessary to have a better understanding of their relationship in Binding Arbitration. Libby's story  really touched me. She overcame a difficult childhood and found herself in education. I can understand why she was so guarded with Aiden, but it often made me sad for her. Of course I loved Aiden! I was happy to see that there really was depth to his character and that he had his own past issues to overcome. Thinking back to that time in my own life, facing some of the issues that Libby and Aiden faced, you realize how young they are and you understand where the uncertainty of the relationship comes from. The moments they do share together are heartfelt. I laughed and cried. I read this book in less than hour and immediately went to read Binding Arbitration, which I also read in a day! Please go get this book!!!!
