You think you're going to get some simpering chick-lit and it turns out to be a beautifully written, highly entertaining, delightfully sexy gem. Elley Arden captures all sorts of contemporary lifestyle clichés and weaves them with humor and pathos into sparkling prose with a delightful ending. Sure it's zany; it's meant to be.If you love the world of baseball, you'll enjoy much of the imagery, but it is hardly necessary to be a follower of Male Oriented Spectator Sports to get a kick out of the intertwining of the lives of psych-doctor Maggie, high-roller agent Jordon, tormented pitcher Carlos, hippie-mom Crystal and a few very nice supporting characters. From the opening scene to the denouement, Ms. Arden has "a way with words", on top of which she can actually write a sex scene to whet your appetite. Man!
