3.5 Stars in my SkyI enjoyed Change My Mind, it's a short story about misconceptions and love. It's the second book in the Kemmons Brothers Baseball series (I haven't read book one), but it works well as a standalone novel.I confess I don't know too much about Baseball, but I imagine the players get treated pretty much the same as our Footballers (soccer players), in that they get paid a lot of money and have easy access to a vast amount of available women. It was a refreshing change to see Grey, for the most part, shy away from this aspect of fame. He was more interested in righting certain wrongs.Nel was a funny mix of fierce and stubborn, yet vulnerable and loving. My favourite scenes were when she was ordering Grey around (which happened a lot). I loved Nel's brothers and how protective they were of her.They say never judge a book by it's cover and it could not be truer in this case. I'm not a fan of the Change My Mind cover because however pretty the cover models are, they look much older than Elley Arden's characters (Grey is 29, but the cover model looks much older). This is only a small thing and doesn't affect the story in anyway. I often get sucked into buying a book by an exciting cover (not that I'm at all shallow) and I think Change My Mind is far more interesting than the cover implies.Change My Mind is fairly short and I would have like the ending of the story to be developed more as I wanted to see what happened next. It's the sign of a good book when you don't want the story to end. I enjoyed the story and will go back and read the first book in the series.I received a copy in exchange for an honest review!
