I received an ARC copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.3.5 starsI love watching college baseball, in fact I'm watching it as I type this review, so I was really excited to read this story with a steamy baseball player character.  I was not disappointed.  This was a fun, easy read with a lot of pretty steamy scenes.I really loved Jaycee as a MC.  She loves her family with everything she has.  She takes care of them and puts their needs ahead of her own.  She is smarter and more mature than many characters I have read lately.  She is a hard worker who has learned to take life as it comes and just deal with it.  I also loved Jon for all of the same reasons.  It was so nice to read about characters who weren't spoiled and living perfect lives, who have everything handed to them and are still not happy.Reed Tyler...well, a sexy name for a sexy man.  I love when a man knows what he wants and makes sure he gets it.  Now, I don't mean taking what isn't offered, so don't get me wrong.  But I loved that Reed was confident and sure of himself and where he really stood with Jaycee.  And, underneath all of the dominance, he was such a sweet, loving guy.I loved that this story wasn't full of unnecessary drama and conflict, and it really could have been.  <spoiler> Ms. Roberts could have let Jaycee believe the lie that Reed's mom told her about the fiance.  Jaycee could have accepted the mom's check.  She could have seen Reed with another girl at the ballpark. </spoiler>  Thankfully, we were spared.  There was enough good story (and a whole bunch of sex) so that the author didn't have to create drama-filler story lines.This story does contain a lot of sex.  I mean, a lot.  But it has a really good story outside of that as well.  They characters fall in love really quickly.  The relationship moves very fast, and there are some decisions made that I didn't agree with <spoiler> Obviously, Jaycee breaking into Reed's house in the first place, but also letting him into her life and moving to his garage apartment so quickly since she has custody of her 6 yr old sister.  You just can't be too careful about who you let in your life when you have children.  I just felt the rushed relationship was dangerous because of that.  But it IS fiction, so it was OK. </spoiler>.There were very few spelling/grammar errors.  The story was well written, with a very nice, well paced flow.  The characters were well written and developed.  All of the baseball references were correct (thank you, Holly!).  Overall, this is an enjoyable weekend read.
